Ability is of little account without opportunity.
Lucille Ball
It is his restraint that is honorable to a person not their liberty.
John Ruskin
Virtue knows that it is impossible to get on without compromise and tunes herself as it were a trifle sharp to allow for an inevitable fall in playing.
Samuel Butler
Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance order rhythm and harmony.
Thomas Merton
Because power corrupts society's demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases.
John Adams
Do not worry about anything. Place yourself fully at His disposal He knows. He has written the Play and He knows how it will end and how it will go on. Yours is but to act and retire. The Lord alone is aware of the Play for His is the Plan! You see only the part of the Play on the stage and so it is all very confused. When the entire story is unfolded then you will appreciate His plan not until then, for that you will have to get behind the screen of Maya and contact the Director Himself.
Sai Baba
Every one rushes elsewhere and into the future because no one wants to face one's own inner self.
Michel de Montaigne
I don't have a problem believing in God and Jesus. But in Genesis one has to wonder about these sentences that just go on and end without finishing. The thought is unfinished. Where did Adam go? What is he doing? Hello? There has to be some pages missing.
Bill Cosby
Our life is what our thoughts make it. A man will find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other people things and other people will alter towards him.
James Allen
Are we aware of our obligations to a mob? It is the mob that labor in your fields and serve in your houses -- that man your navy and recruit your army -- that have enabled you to defy the world and can also defy you when neglect and calamity have driven them to despair. You may call the people a mob, but do not forget that a mob too often speaks the sentiments of the people.
Lord Byron
