Quotations Update
Woody Allen
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The artist alone sees spirits. But after he has told of their appearing to him, everybody sees them
John Calvin
For Scripture is the school of the Holy Spirit, in which, as nothing is omitted that is both necessary and useful to know, so nothing is taught but what is expedient to know. Therefore we must guard against depriving believers of anything disclosed about predestination in Scripture, lest we seem either wickedly to defraud them of the blessing of their God or to accuse and scoff at the Holy Spirit for having published what it is in any way profitable to suppress.
Stendhal
A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.
Charles Bukowski
I was no petty thief, I wanted the world or nothing.
Adam Smith
The difference of natural talents in different men is, in reality, much less than we are aware of; and the very different genius which appears to distinguish men of different professions, when grown up to maturity, is not upon many occasions so much the cause as the effect of the division of labour.

Thomas Edward Bodett
They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.
Stella Terrill Mann
Listening is a form of accepting.
Robert Lynd
The belief in the possibility of a short decisive war appears to be one of the most ancient and dangerous of human illusions.
Gilbert Chesterton
Idolatry is committed, not merely by setting up false gods, but also by setting up false devils; by making men afraid of war or alcohol, or economic law, when they should be afraid of spiritual corruption and cowardice.
Mark Twain
Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton
It was a dark and stormy night the rain fell in torrents--except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.

Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.
