Relationships are the most important thing in life, and friends are a part of that. Nicholas Sparks
Jesus came into the world with good news, not bad news. He does not call us to a willpower religion that feels only duty and no delight. He calls us to himself and to his Father. Therefore, he calls us to joy. Of course, it is not joy in things. Jesus is not preaching a health, wealth, and prosperity gospel—one of America’s most lamentable exports to the world. It is joy in God and in his Son. John Piper

The fact is that camels are far more intelligent than dolphins. They are so much brighter that they soon realised that the most prudent thing any intelligent animal can do, if it would prefer its descendants not to spend a lot of time on a slab with electrodes clamped to their brains or sticking mines on the bottom of ships or being patronized rigid by zoologists, is to make bloody certain humans don't find out about it.

The excellence of water appears in its benefiting all things, and in its occupying, without striving (to the contrary), the low place which all men dislike. Lao Tzu
The other one he loved like a slave, like a madman and like a beggar. Why? Ask the dust on the road and the falling leaves, ask the mysterious God of life; for no one knows such things. She gave him nothing, no nothing did she give him and yet he thanked her. She said: Give me your peace and your reason! And he was only sorry she did not ask for his life. Knut Hamsun
Thomas Sowell quote: "Age gives you an excuse for not being very good at things that..."
Age gives you an excuse for not being very good at things that you were not very good at when you were young. Thomas Sowell
Oh, don't I wish I could manage things for you as I do for my heroines! You're pretty enough and good enough already, so I'd have some rich relation leave you a fortune unexpectedly; then you'd dash out as an heiress, scorn everyone who has slighted you, go abroad, and como home my Lady Something in a blaze of splendor and elegance. Louisa May Alcott
Madeleine L'Engle quote: "When I start a new seminar I tell my students that I will..."
When I start a new seminar I tell my students that I will undoubtedly contradict myself, and that I will mean both things. Madeleine L'Engle
A large part of our attitude toward things is conditioned by opinions and emotions which we unconsciously absorb as children from our environment. In other words, it is tradition—besides inherited aptitudes and qualities—which makes us what we are. We but rarely reflect how relatively small as compared with the powerfu...

Why does a man cry? he wondered. Not like a woman; not for that. Not for sentiment. A man cries over the loss of something, something alive. A man can cry over a sick animal that he knows won't make it. The death of a child: a man can cry for that. But not because things are sad. A man, he thought, cries not for the future or the past but for the present. Philip K. Dick
T. S. Eliot quote: "However you disguise it, this thing does not change: The..."
However you disguise it, this thing does not change: The perpetual struggle of Good and Evil. T. S. Eliot
I began to make some money, but I could never bring myself to leave someone else in charge of the shop; the crystals are delicate things. Paulo Coelho
It's not that I was an outright nitwit of a child. It's that the things even a nitwit could do with little or no instruction often confused me. Augusten Burroughs
