I Can Quotes (page 97)

I’d learned a long time ago that you can’t prove a negative. You can prove that you did something, but it’s the devil to prove you didn’t do something. Laurell K. Hamilton
And as John F. Kennedy described the ideals behind what would become the Peace Corps, he issued a challenge to the students who had assembled in Ann Arbor on that October night: “on your willingness to contribute part of your life to this country,” he said, will depend the answer whether a free society can compete. I think it can,” he said. Barack Obama
Rock 'n' roll is an attitude, it's not a musical form of a strict sort. It's a way of doing things, of approaching things. Writing can be rock 'n' roll, or a movie can be rock 'n' roll. It's a way of living your life. Lester Bangs
Our human tragedy is that we are unable to comprehend our experience, it slips through our fingers, we can't hold on to it, and the more time passes, the harder it gets...My father said that the natural world gave us explanations to compensate for the meanings we could not grasp. The slant of the cold sunlight on a winter pine, the music of water, an oar cutting the lake and the flight of birds, the mountains' nobility , the silence of the silence. We are given life but must accept that it is... Salman Rushdie
Lynn Abbey quote: "You can't tell how heavy somebody else's load is just from..."
You can't tell how heavy somebody else's load is just from looking. The Lord doesn't give us more than we can carry Lynn Abbey
Science can teach us, and I think our hearts can teach us, no longer to look around for imaginary supporters, no longer to invent allies in the sky, but rather to look to our own efforts here below to make the world a fit place to live Bertrand Russell
Memories have ways of becoming independent of the reality they evoke. They can soften us against those we were deeply hurt by or they can make us resent those we once accepted and loved unconditionally. Azar Nafisi
I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everthing, but still I can do something; I will not refuse to do something I can do. Helen Keller
Paramahansa Yogananda quote: "Be as simple as you can be; you will be astonished to see how..."
Be as simple as you can be; you will be astonished to see how uncomplicated and happy your life can become. Paramahansa Yogananda
To the average man, life presents itself, not as material malleable to his hand, but as a series of problems…which he has to solve…And he is distressed to find that the more means he can dispose of—such as machine-power, rapid transport, and general civilized amenities, the more his problems grow in hardness and complexity….Perhaps the first thing he can learn form the artists is that the only way of 'mastering' one's material is to abandon the whole conception of mastery and to co-operate... Dorothy L. Sayers
The body can endure compromise and the mind can be seduced by it. Only the heart protests. The heart. Carbon-based primitive in a silicon world. Jeanette Winterson
You cannot evade the issue of God, whether you are talking about pigs or the binomial theory...Things can be irrelevant to the proposition that Christianity is false, but nothing can be irrelevant to the proposition that Christianity is true. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Anna Sewell quote: "If a thing is right it can be done, and if it is wrong it can..."
If a thing is right it can be done, and if it is wrong it can be done without; and a good man will find a way. Anna Sewell
Hillary Clinton quote: "We should remember that just as a positive outlook on life can..."
We should remember that just as a positive outlook on life can promote good health, so can everyday acts of kindness. Hillary Clinton
I dined with Legrandin on the terrace of his house by moonlight. "There is a charming quality, is there not," he said to me, "in this silence; for hearts that are wounded, as mine is, a novelist whom you will read in time to come asserts that there is no remedy but silence and shadow. And you see this, my boy, there comes in all our lives a time, towards which you still have far to go, when the weary eyes can endure but one kind of light, the light which a fine evening like this prepares... Marcel Proust
