It is only by making our knowledge part of ourselves, through action, that we enter into the reality that is signified by our concepts. Thomas Merton

What I do here, every day, for the rest of my life, is only my way of saying, 'Lord, regardless of what eternity holds for me, let me give something back to you. I know it doesn't even no scorecard. But let me make something of my life before I go.. and then, Lord, I'm at your mercy. Mitch Albom
I don't care one speck. It ain't right, somehow it ain't right to do 'em that way. Hasn't anybody got any business talkin' like that- it just makes me sick. Harper Lee
Joseph Conrad quote: "Vanity plays lurid tricks with our memory, and the truth of..."
Vanity plays lurid tricks with our memory, and the truth of every passion wants some pretence to make it live. Joseph Conrad
Sometimes you make up your mind about something without knowing why, and your decision persists by the power of inertia. Every year it gets harder to change. Milan Kundera
He has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. Say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count 'em up: what then? The happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune. Charles Dickens
