Very Quotes

I think if you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance. If you are going to do a combination of the two, you should make it very clear when you are singing and very clear when you are dancing Picture Quote #1

I believe God is managing affairs and that he doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about Picture Quote #1

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it Picture Quote #1

All Fords are exactly alike, but no two men are just alike. Every new life is a new thing under the sun; there has never been anything just like it before, never will be again. A young man ought to get that idea about himself; he should look for the single spark of individuality that makes him different from other folks, and develop that for all he is worth. Society and schools may try to iron it out of him; their tendency is to put it all in the same mold, but I say don't let that spark be lost; it is your only real claim to importance Picture Quote #1

Every man wants a woman to appeal to his better side, his nobler instincts, and his higher nature - and another woman to help him forget them Picture Quote #1

A wise woman puts a grain of sugar into everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her Picture Quote #1

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, you know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done Picture Quote #1

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little Picture Quote #1

Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age Picture Quote #1

Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain Picture Quote #1

Every winter, when the great sun has turned his face away, the Earth goes down into a vale of grief, and fasts, and weeps, and shrouds herself in sables, leaving her wedding-garlands to decay-- then leaps in spring to his returning kisses Picture Quote #1

Thank God every morning when you get up, that you have something to do that day which must be done, whether you like it or not. Being forced to work and forced to do your best will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues which the idle never know Picture Quote #1

For to be discontented with the divine discontent, and to be ashamed with the noble shame, is the very germ and first upgrowth of all virtue Picture Quote #1

When all the world is young, lad, and all the trees are green; and every goose a swan, lad, and every lass a queen; then hey for boot and horse, lad, and round the world away; young blood must have its course, lad, and every dog his day Picture Quote #1

There is something very wonderful about music. Words are wonderful enough; but music is even more wonderful. It speaks not to our thoughts as words do; it speaks through our hearts and spirits, to the very core and root of our souls. Music soothes us, stirs us up, it puts noble feelings in us, it can make us cringe; and it can melt us to tears; and yet we have no idea how. It is a language by itself, just as perfect in its ways as speech, as words, just as divine, just as blessed Picture Quote #1

The righteousness which is by faith in Christ is a loving heart and a loving life, which every man will long to lead who believes really in Jesus Christ Picture Quote #1

Pray over every truth; for though the renewed heart is not desperately wicked, it is quite deceitful enough to become so, if God be forgotten a moment Picture Quote #1

In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful Picture Quote #1

My mother was very strong. Once, she picked up a coconut and smashed it against my father's head. It taught me about women defending themselves and not collapsing in a heap Picture Quote #1

The trouble with our people is as soon as they got out of slavery they didn't want to give the white man nothing else. But the fact is, you got to give em something. Either your money, your land, your woman or your ass Picture Quote #1

I think Africans are very much like white people back home, in that they think they are the center of the universe and that everything that is done is done for them Picture Quote #1

People tend to think that life really does progress for everyone eventually, that people progress, but actually only some people progress. The rest of the people don't Picture Quote #1

Listen, God love everything you love - and a mess of stuff you don't. But more than anything else, God love admiration... I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it Picture Quote #1
