“Here I am...wanting to accomplish something and completely forgetting it must all end--that there is such a thing as death.”
― Leo Tolstoy

“And grief still feels like fear. Perhaps, more strictly, like suspense. Or like waiting; just hanging about waiting for something to happen. It gives life a permanently provisional feeling. It doesn't seem worth starting anything. I can't settle down. I yawn, fidget, I smoke too much. Up till this I always had too little time. Now there is nothing but time. Almost pure time, empty successiveness.”
― C.S. Lewis

“Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.” 
― Thomas A. Edison

― Oprah Winfrey

“You may be hurt if you love too much, but you will live in misery if you love too little.”
― Napoleon Hill

― Rick Warren

“Then the minute the first symptoms show up, they say, “I thought the Lord healed me. I guess He didn’t.” And when they say that, they open the door to the devil. Instead of rising up and meeting the devil with the Word of God and commanding his power to be broken, they yield. Why? Because they have no foundation of God’s Word in their lives. They are depending on others to carry them on their prayers and faith.”
― Kenneth E. Hagin

― Albert Einstein
