William Shakespeare

I did not bathe or shave or brush my teeth, because love taught me too late that you groom yourself for someone, you dress and perfume yourself for someone, and I'd never had anyone to do that for. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
William Shakespeare quote: "Highly fed and lowly taught."
Highly fed and lowly taught. William Shakespeare
Keeping a journal has taught me that there is not so much new in your life as you sometimes think. When you re-read your journal you find out that your latest discovery is something you already found out five years ago. Still, it is true that one penetrates deeper and deeper into the same ideas and the same experiences. Thomas Merton
C. S. Lewis quote: "If you are foe, we do not fear you. If you are friend, your..."
If you are foe, we do not fear you. If you are friend, your foes will be taught the fear of us. C. S. Lewis
She thought about her life and how lost she’d felt for most of it. She thought about the way that all truths she’d been taught to consider valuable invariably conflicted with the world as it was actually lived. How could a person be so utterly lost, yet remain living? Doug Coupland
Scarlett (O'Hara) taught that one could be hungry and despairing, but not broken and not without resources, spiritual in nature, that precluded one from surrendering without a fight Pat Conroy
Holiness, as taught in the Scriptures, is not based upon knowledge on our part. Rather, it is based upon the resurrected Christ in-dwelling us and changing us into His likeness. Aiden Wilson Tozer
