| Quote:What seem our worst prayers may really be, in God's eyes, our best. Those, I mean, which are least supported by devotional feeling. For these may come from a deeper level than feeling. God sometimes seems to speak to us most intimately when He catches us, as it were, off our guard.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:An atheist is a man who has no invisible means of support.[Fulton J. Sheen] Quote:Life is not a support system for art. It's the other way around.[Stephen King] Quote:Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.[Thomas Paine] Quote:Every individual...generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention.[Adam Smith] Quote:It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:Wedding: a ceremony at which two persons undertake to become one, one undertakes to become nothing, and nothing undertakes to become supportable.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:We shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.[John F. Kennedy] Quote:To know a man, observe how he wins his object, rather than how he loses it; for when we fail our pride supports us; when we succeed, it betrays us. [Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this.
