Who Quotes (page 190)

To have compassion for those who suffer is a human quality which everyone should possess, especially those who have required comfort themselves in the past and have managed to find it in others. Giovanni Boccaccio
I believe in Spinoza's God, who reveals Himself in the lawful harmony of the world, not in a God who concerns Himself with the fate and the doings of mankind... to Rabbi Herbert Goldstein (1929) Albert Einstein
We can afford to follow Him to failure. Faith dares to fail. The resurrection and the judgment will demonstrate before all worlds who won and who lost. We can wait. Aiden Wilson Tozer
Charles Bukowski quote: "People who believe in politics are like people who believe in..."
People who believe in politics are like people who believe in God: they are sucking wind through bent straws. Charles Bukowski
Confucius quote: "Those who know the TRUTH are not equal to those who love it."
Those who know the TRUTH are not equal to those who love it. Confucius
After the bare requisites to living and reproducing, man wants most to leave some record of himself, a proof, perhaps, that he has really existed. He leaves his proof on wood, on stone or on the lives of other people. This deep desire exists in everyone, from the boy who writes dirty words in a public toilet to the Buddha who etches his image in the race mind. Life is so unreal. I think that we seriously doubt that we exist and go about trying to prove that we do. John Steinbeck
There is a universal respect and even admiration for those who are humble and simple by nature, and who have absolute confidence in all human beings irrespective of their social status. Nelson Mandela
In the space between yes and no, there's a lifetime. It's the difference between the path you walk and the one you leave behind; it's the gap between who you thought you could be and who you really are; its the legroom for the lies you'll tell yourself in the future. Jodi Picoult
Michael Crichton quote: "It's hard to decide who's truly brilliant; it's easier to see..."
It's hard to decide who's truly brilliant; it's easier to see who's driven, which in the long run may be more important. Michael Crichton
If we are a people who pray, darkness is apt to be a lot of what our prayers are about. If we are people who do not pray, it is apt to be darkness in one form or another that has stopped our mouths. Frederick Buechner
Here was something I already knew to be true about myself: Just as there are some wives who will occasionally need a break from their husbands in order to visit a spa for the weekend with their girlfriends, I will always be the sort of wife who occasionally needs a break from her husband in order to visit Cambodia. Just for a few days! Elizabeth Gilbert
Idries Shah quote: "It is not only a matter of not caring who knows - it is also a..."
It is not only a matter of not caring who knows - it is also a matter of knowing who cares. Idries Shah
Slender Youth. A tour companion who may be either a lost prince or a girl/princess in disguise. In the latter case it is tactful to pretend you think she is a boy. She/he will be ignorant, hasty and shy, and will need hauling out of trouble quite a lot. But she/he will grow up in the course of the Tour. In fact she/he will be the only Companion who will change in any way. Quite often, she/he will soon exhibit a very useful talent for magic and end up by hauling everyone else out of... Diana Wynne Jones
Many women to whom I have preached the doctrine of freedom have weakly replied, 'But who is to support the children?' It seems to me that if the marriage ceremony is needed as a protection to insure the enforced support of children, then you are marrying a man who, you suspect, would under certain conditions, refuse to support his children, and it is a pretty low-down proposition. For you are marrying a man whom you already suspect of being a villain. But I have not so poor an opinion of men... Isadora Duncan
Henry David Thoreau quote: "He who distinguishes the true savor of his food can never be a..."
He who distinguishes the true savor of his food can never be a glutton; he who does not cannot be otherwise. Henry David Thoreau
