“You can make anything by writing.”
C.S. Lewis

“Anna smiled,as people smile at the weaknesses of those they love. . .”
Leo Tolstoy

“Failure is success in progress”
Albert Einstein

“I am progressing along the path of life in my ordinary contentedly fallen and godless condition, absorbed in a merry meeting with my friends for the morrow or a bit of work that tickles my vanity today, a holiday or a new book, when suddenly a stab of abdominal pain that threatens serious disease, or a headline in the newspapers that threatens us all with destruction, sends this whole pack of cards tumbling down. At first I am overwhelmed, and all my little happinesses look like broken toys. Then, slowly and reluctantly, bit by bit, I try to bring myself into the frame of mind that I should be in at all times. I remind myself that all these toys were never intended to possess my heart, that my true good is in another world, and my only real treasure is Christ. And perhaps, by God's grace, I succeed, and for a day or two become a creature consciously dependent on God and drawing its strength from the right sources.”
C.S. Lewis

“God, You said You would restore health unto me and heal me of my wounds. You said I would live and not die. You said what is impossible with men is possible with God.” When you pray”
Joel Osteen

“But the greatest cause of verbicide is the fact that most people are obviously far more anxious to express their approval and disapproval of things than to describe them. Hence the tendency of words to become less descriptive and more evaluative; then become evaluative, while still retaining some hint of the sort of goodness or badness implied; and to end up by being purely evaluative -- useless synonyms for good or for bad.”
C.S. Lewis

“The Fremen were supreme in that quality the ancients called "spannungsbogen" -- which is the self-imposed delay between desire for a thing and the act of reaching out to grasp that thing.”
Frank Herbert

“A universal feeling, whether well or ill-founded cannot be safely disregarded.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Those who write clearly have readers, those who write obscurely have commentators.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Instead of complaining about what you don’t like about your job, start commending what you do like and see how quickly it improves.”
Napoleon Hill

“If one has to choose between reading the new books and reading the old, one must choose the old: not because they are necessarily better but because they contain precisely those truths of which our own age is neglectful.”
C.S. Lewis

“He remembered his mother's love for him, and his family's, and his friends', and the enemy's intention to kill him seemed impossible.”
Leo Tolstoy

“But electricity used the wrong way can be very dangerous.”
Joel Osteen

“it appears that, as is the case in our time with the ills of all nations, the reason lies in the lack of a reasonable religious teaching which by explaining the meaning of life would supply a supreme law for the guidance of conduct and would replace the more than dubious precepts of pseudo-religion and pseudo-science with the immoral conclusions deduced from them and commonly called 'civilization'.  ”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Never entertain anger. Great people do not become angry over unnecessary issues.”
Israelmore Ayivor
