| Quote:Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.[Henry Ford] Quote:People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway. Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway.[Mother Teresa] Quote:Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:When a politician is in opposition he is an expert on the means to some end; and when he is in office he is an expert on the obstacles to it.[GK Chesterton] Quote:I do not think that the real reason why people accept religion is anything to do with argumentation.

Lewis] Quote:I figured out why I'm not getting seriously rich. I write newspaper columns. Nobody ever makes newspaper columns into Major Motion Pictures starring Tom Cruise. The best you can hope for, with a newspaper column, is that people will like it enough to attach it to their refrigerators with magnets shaped like fruit.[Dave Barry] Quote:I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.[Margaret Thatcher] Quote:If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought, not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:Thus far, the reputed idiot Bush has graduated from Yale and Harvard, made a stack of cash in the oil industry, become the first consecutive-term governor of Texas, defeated a dual-term VP for the presidency, and led his party to [November 5th's] extraordinary triumphs. Let his opponents keep calling him stupid; if they do, within five years Bush will be King of England, the Pope, and world Formula One motor racing champion.[Tim Blair] Quote:Of course the people dont want war...that is understood. But voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.[Hermann Goering] Quote:The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape.[Pablo Picasso] Quote:I have learnt that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.[Booker T. Washington] Quote:Men rise from one ambition to another. First they seek to secure themselves from attack, and then they attack others.[Nicolo Machiavelli] Quote:A very popular error: having the courage of one's convictions; rather it is a matter of having the courage for an attack on one's convictions.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Ridicule is generally made use of to laugh men out of virtue and good sense, by attacking everything praiseworthy in human life.[Joseph Addison] Quote:If you go flying back through time, and you see somebody else flying forward into the future, it's probably best to avoid eye contact.[Jack Handey] Quote:I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.[Jack Handey] Quote:A man does what he must, in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures, and that is the basis of all human morality.[John F. Kennedy] Quote:In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.[Michael Jordan] Quote:When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.[Winston Churchill] Quote:In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.
