Text Quotes
To bring the best human qualities to anything like perfection, to fill them with the sweet juices of courtesy and charity, prosperity, or, at all events, a moderate amount of it, is required, - just as sunshine is needed for the ripening of peaches and apricots (With Quotes)
The greatness of an artist or a writer does not depend on what he has in common with other artists and writers, but on what he has peculiar to himself (With Quotes)
I still indulge in a glass of wine or chocolate - treats are mandatory. Without deviating from the day-to-day healthy diet once in a while, it wouldn't be sustainable for me, and that's what I wanted: an approach to eating to last my entire life (With Quotes)
In my opinion, I think sarcasm and humor in a song, without turning it into a novelty song, is really charming (With Quotes)
When someone says that I'm angry it's actually a compliment. I have not always been direct with my anger in my relationships, which is part of why I'd write about it in my songs because I had such fear around expressing anger as a woman (With Quotes)
Little men with little minds and little imaginations go through life in little ruts, smugly resisting all changes which would jar their little worlds (With Quotes)
You can make positive deposits in your own economy every day by reading and listening to powerful, positive, life-changing content and by associating with encouraging and hope-building people (With Quotes)
People who truly understand God's purpose for their lives know that we are called to be intimately involved with one another (With Quotes)
Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting - in the trying, not the triumph, success is a personal standard - reaching for the highest that is in us - becoming all that we can be. If we do our best, we are a success. Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have (With Quotes)
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Power is ever stealing from the many to the few. The hand entrusted with power becomes the necessary enemy of the people. Only by continual oversight can the democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a despot: only by unintermitted agitation can a people be kept sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty be smothered in material prosperity (With Quotes)
The more I give myself permission to live in the moment and enjoy it without feeling guilty or judgmental about any other time, the better I feel about the quality of my work (With Quotes)
All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy (With Quotes)
There is a big difference between thinking: I'm in a relationship and something's wrong. Therefore something must be wrong with the relationship. And thinking I'm in a relationship and we've got problems. This is evidence that you are different than me (With Quotes)
Ah! Wilt thou leave me then without one kiss, to slay the very seeds of fear and doubt, that glad tomorrow may bring certain bliss? Hast thou forgotten how love lives by this, the memory of some hopeful close embrace, low whispered words within some lonely place? (With Quotes)
[of Charlie chaplin:] the son of a bitch is a ballet dancer.... He's the best Cballet dancer that ever lived... And if I get a good chance I'll kill him with my bare hands (With Quotes)
Sober perseverance is more effective than enthusiastic emotions, which are all too capable of being transferred, with little difficulty, to something different each day (With Quotes)
Ideology is a specious way of relating to the world. It offers human beings the illusion of an identity, of dignity, and of morality while making it easier for them to part with them (With Quotes)
Time and time again I have been persuaded that a huge potential of goodwill is slumbering within our society. It's just that it's incoherent, suppressed, confused, crippled and perplexed (With Quotes)
He made little, too little of sacraments and priests, because God was so intensely real to him. What should he do with lenses who stood thus full in the torrent of the sunshine (With Quotes)
With no rest of the night; for I waked mid a story of a land wherein love is the light and the lord, where my tale shall be heard, and my wounds gain a glory, and my tears be a treasure to add to the hoard of pleasure laid up for his people's reward (With Quotes)
The lives of men who have been always growing are strewed along their whole course with the things they have learned to do without (With Quotes)
No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, gentle, pure, and good, without the world being the better for it, without somebody being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness (With Quotes)
O risen Christ! O Easter flower! How dear thy grace has grown! From East to west, with loving power, make all the world thine own (With Quotes)
Virtue is the daughter of religion; repentance, her adopted child, - a poor orphan who, without the asylum which she offers, would not know where to hide her sole treasure, her tears! (With Quotes)
It is clear that all verbal structures with meaning are verbal imitations of that elusive psychological and physiological process known as thought, a process stumbling through emotional entanglements, sudden irrational convictions, involuntary gleams of insight, rationalized prejudices, and blocks of panic and inertia, finally to reach a completely incommunicable intuition (With Quotes)
I love art, and I love history, but it is living art and living history that I love. It is in the interest of living art and living history that I oppose so-called restoration. What history can there be in a building bedaubed with ornament, which cannot at the best be anything but a hopeless and lifeless imitation of the hope and vigor of the earlier world? (With Quotes)
Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside; or a grimy palace amid the same with a regiment of housemaids always working to smear the dirt together so that it may be unnoticed; which, think you, is the most refined, the most fit for a gentleman of those two dwellings? (With Quotes)
Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile (With Quotes)
Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies (With Quotes)
If there are people who feel that God wants them to change the structures of society, that is something between them and their God. We must serve him in whatever way we are called. I am called to help the individual; to love each poor person. Not to deal with institutions. I am in no position to judge (With Quotes)
