Random Quotes and Quotations
 I know on which side my bread is buttered.  We are largely the playthings of our fears. To one, fear of the dark; to another, of physical pain; to a third, of public ridicule; to a fourth, of poverty; to a fifth, of loneliness ... for all of us, our particular creature waits in ambush. Faith is the function of the heart. Our Congressmen are the finest body of men money can buy. The flag of our Union forever! A people without history is like wind on the buffalo grass. Time and tide wait for no man. The way to procure insults is to submit to them. A man meets with no more respect than he exacts. I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble. I learned that true forgiveness includes total self-acceptance. And out of acceptance wounds are healed and happiness is possible again. All the glory of the world would be buried in oblivion, unless God had provided mortals with the remedy of books. This is a court of law, young man, not a court of justice. The world is round, and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning. Without a purpose, nothing should be done. I had never been as resigned to ready-made ideas as I was to ready-made clothes, perhaps because although I couldn't sew, I could think. We are always getting ready to live, but never living. It was completely fruitless to quarrel with the world, whereas the quarrel with oneself was occasionally fruitful and always, she had to admit, interesting. The best antidote I have found is to yearn for something. As long as you yearn, you can't congeal: there is a forward motion to yearning. Man has to live with the body and soul which have fallen to him by chance. God is to me that creative Force, behind and in the universe, who manifests Himself as energy, as life, as order, as beauty, as thought, as conscience, as love.
