Norton Juster quote: "The only thing you can do easily is be wrong, and that's..."
The only thing you can do easily is be wrong, and that's hardly worth the effort Norton Juster
...it is so silly of people to fancy that old age means crookedness and witheredness and feebleness and sticks and spectacles and rheumatism and forgetfulness! It is so silly! Old age has nothing whatever to do with all that. The right old age means strength and beauty and mirth and courage and clear eyes and strong painless limbs. George MacDonald
Pablo Picasso quote: "Painting is stronger than me, it makes me do it's bidding."
Painting is stronger than me, it makes me do it's bidding. Pablo Picasso
I like the dark part of the night, after midnight and before four-thirty, when it's hollow, when ceilings are harder and farther away. Then I can breathe, and can think while others are sleeping, in a way can stop time, can have it so? this has always been my dream? so that while everyone else is frozen, I can work busily about them, doing whatever it is that needs to be done, like the elves who make the shoes while children sleep. Dave Eggers
Charles Spurgeon quote: "All the devils in hell and tempters on earth could do us no..."
All the devils in hell and tempters on earth could do us no injury if there were no corruption in our own natures. Charles Spurgeon
Tyler Perry quote: "People always try to do the right thing..after they've tried..."
People always try to do the right thing..after they've tried everything else. Tyler Perry
When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything. Gilbert K. Chesterton

Keep looking below surface appearances. Don't shrink from doing so just because you might not like what you find. Colin Powell

We are all honorable men here, we do not have to give each other assurances as if we were lawyers. Mario Puzo
Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew. Saint Francis de Sales
To create the life of your dreams, the time has come for you to love You. Focus on Your joy. Do all the things that make You feel good. Love You, inside and out. Everything will change in your life, when you change the inside of you. Allow the Universe to give you every good thing you deserve, by being a magnet to them all. To be a magnet for every single thing you deserve, you must be a magnet of love. Rhonda Byrne
Freedom is not empowerment. Empowerment is what the Serbs have in Bosnia. Anybody can grab a gun and be empowered. It's not entitlement. An entitlement is what people on welfare get, and how free are they? It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights -- the "right" to education, the "right" to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery -- hay and a barn for human cattle. There is only one basic human right, the right to do... P. J. O'Rourke
But then books, as I'm sure you know, seldom prompt a course of action. Books generally just confirm you in what you have, perhaps unwittingly, decided to do already. You go to a book to have your convictions corroborated. A book, as it were, closes the book. Alan Bennett
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "It is true that I do not speak as well as I can think. But..."
It is true that I do not speak as well as I can think. But that is true of most people, as nearly as I can tell. Barbara Kingsolver
My pawing over the ancients and semi-ancients has been one struggle to find out what has been done, once and for all, better than it can ever be done again, and to find out what remains for us to do, and plenty does remain, for if we still feel the same emotions as those who launched a thousand ships, it is quite certain that we came on these feelings differently, through different nuances, by different intellectual gradations. Each age has its own abounding gifts yet only some ages... Ezra Pound
