Quotations for Today
Seneca
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
In whatever one does, there must be a relationship between the eye and the heart. With the eye that is closed, one looks within, with the eye that is open, one looks without.
Stephen Jobs
Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.
E. M. Forster, Two Cheers for Democracy, 1951
I suggest that the only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little farther down our own particular path than we have yet got ourselves.
James Burgh
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself and what he possesses else he lives precariously, and at discretion.
Spanish Proverb
Books are hindrances to persisting stupidity.
Gene Fowler
Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead.
Real Live Preacher, RealLivePreacher.com Weblog, August 2, 2003
I�m telling you, things are getting out of hand. Or maybe I�m discovering that things were never in my hands.
Stella Terrill Mann
Every time we say, "Let there be!" in any form, something happens.
Mother Theresa
There should be less talk a preaching point is not a meeting point. What do you do then Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough.
