Anthony Trollope


I do not think myself to be a worm, and a grub, grass of the field fit only to be burned, a clod, a morsel of putrid atoms that should be thrown to the dungheap, ready for the nethermost pit. Nor if I did should I therefore expect to sit with Angels and Archangels.

Sbastien-Roch Nicolas de Chamfort


All that I've learned, I've forgotten. The little I still know, I've guessed.

Nick Diamos


Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.

La Rochefoucauld


Ah, Hope what would life be, stripped of thy encouraging smiles, that teach us to look behind the dark clouds of to-day, for the golden beams that are to gild the morrow.

Helen Hayes


Life ... would give her everything of consequence, life would shape her, not we. All we were good for was to make the introductions.

Andrew Carnegie


Concentration is my motto - first honesty, then industry, then concentration.

Gustave Flaubert


Stupidity consists in wanting to reach conclusions. We are a thread, and we want to know the whole cloth.

George Bernard Shaw, An Unsocial Socialist (1887) ch. 5


"Do you know what a pessimist is?" "A man who thinks everybody is as nasty as himself, and hates them for it."

Sir Walter Scott


Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above For love is heaven, and heaven is love.

Marie Beyon Ray


Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand � and melting like a snowflake. Let us use it before it is too late.

Jack Handey Deep Thoughts


Isn't it funny how we'll look out the window at the moon, and then we notice it's not the moon but a streetlight Also what's funny is how we do this every night.

Paul Sadler


Why Paul God already had called twelve apostles of the kingdom Although Judas had fallen in transgression, the seat of his apostolic office was filled by Matthias preceding the day of Pentecost. Insofar as Paul was unconverted at the time, he could not have possibly fulfilled the qualificatios set down by the Holy Spirit to be numbered with the twelve (Acts 121-26). Of course, there are many dispensationalists who would agree with this interpretation, but teach that God ordained Paul to be the thirteenth apostle of the kingdom. Perhaps you have heard the saying, 'They jumped out of the frying pan into the fire.' In other words, we have gone from bad to worse, which is certainly the case with this view. the number twelve is stamped throughout the pages of prophecy, thus eliminating the possibility of a thirteenth apostolic office (Matt. 1928 cf. Rev. 12-21). What logical explanation then can we give for Paul's apostleship Before the foundation of the world, God foreordained that He would raise up a new apostle to reveal His eternal purpose for the parenthetical age of Grace in which we now live. Hence, Paul says 'But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by His grace, to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the heathen Gentiles...' (Gal. 115.16). When God temporarily rolled up the building plans of prophecy and placed them aside, He made known a secret set of plans. With this program came a completely new set of blueprints. According to the counsel of His will, He had predetermined to call Paul as the masterbuilder of the project. So then, the instructions for our building program are found in Paul's epistles. Little wonder the apostles says 'I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.' (1 Cor. 310). It is essential to use Pauline constructio materials (grace doctrines), simply because someday soon the Building Inspector will examine our workmanship to determine if we followed His codes.

Man Ray, O Magazine, September 2002


It has never been my object to record my dreams, just to realize them.

Albert Einstein


Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.

William Tecumseh Sherman


War is cruel and you cannot refine it.

Russell Baker


The only thing I was fit for was to be a writer, and this notion rested solely on my suspicion that I would never be fit for real work, and that writing didn't require any.

Henry David Thoreau


Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.
