A guide, on finding a man who has lost his way, brings him back to the right path—he does not mock and jeer at him and then take himself off.

Philip K. Dick

We cannot do great things on this Earth, only small things with great love. Mother Teresa
I cannot understand why we idle discussing religion. If we are honest? and as scientists honesty is our precise duty? we cannot help but admit that any religion is a pack of false statements, deprived of any real foundation. The very idea of God is a product of human imagination. I do not recognize any religious myth, at least because they contradict one another. Paul Dirac

I do not believe the fable that men read travel books to escape from reality: they read to escape into it, from a crazy wonderland of armaments, cant, political speeches at once insincere and illiterate, propaganda, and social injustice which the lunacy of humanity has constructed over a period of years. Alex Comfort

On the sixth day God saw He couldn't do it all, so He created ENGINEERS Lois McMaster Bujold

May be it took realizing that you could die to keep you from wanting to do it. Jodi Picoult
I am learning peacefulness, lying by myself quietly, as the light lies on these white walls, this bed, these hands. I am nobody; I have nothing to do with explosions. Sylvia Plath
At certain times I have no race. I am me. I belong to no race or time. I am the eternal feminine with its string of beads. I do not weep at the world--I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife. I have a strong suspicion, but I can't be sure, that much that passes for constant love is a golded-up moment walking in its sleep. Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. Sometimes I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can anyone deny... Zora Neale Hurston
Nicholas Sparks quote: "Find out who you are, and do it on purpose." (A Walk to Remember)"
Find out who you are, and do it on purpose." (A Walk to Remember) Nicholas Sparks
Would you know who is the greatest saint in the world? It is not he who prays most or fasts most; it is not he who gives most alms or is most eminent for temperance, chastity or justice; but it is he who is always thankful to God, who wills everything that God wills, who receives everything as an instance of God’s goodness and has a heart always ready to praise God for it. Could you therefore work miracles, you could not do more for yourself than by this thankful spirit, for it turns all that... William Law
