Famous Quotes & Sayings

C. S. Lewis

Almost certainly God is not in time. His life does not consist of moments one following another...Ten-thirty-- and every other moment from the beginning of the world--is always Present for Him. If you like to put it this way, He has all eternity in which to listen to the split second of prayer put up by a pilot as his plane crashes in flames.

Carol Ann Duffy

I write quite a lot of sonnets, and I think of them almost as prayers: short and memorable, something you can recite.

Susan B. Anthony

I can see that "reap" and "deep," "prayers" and "bears," . . . do rhyme, and so I suppose it is a splendid effort, but if you had written it in plain prose, I could have understood it a great deal better and read it a great deal more easily.

Blaise Pascal

All the troubles of life come upon us because we refuse to sit quietly for a while each day in our rooms.

Brother Lawrence

Prayer is nothing else than a sense of God's presence

Brother Lawrence

Lift up your hearts to Him, sometimes even at your meals, and when you are in company; the least little remembrance will always be acceptable to Him. You need not cry very loud; He is nearer to us than we are aware.

Abraham Lincoln

What is to be, will be, and no prayers of ours can arrest the decree.

Andrew Murray

Prayer [is] the quiet, persistent living of our life of desire and faith in the presence of our God.

Andrew Murray

The sooner I learn to forget myself in the desire that He may be glorified, the richer will be the blessing that prayer will bring to myself. No one ever loses by what he sacrifices to the Father.

Brian Bosworth

Jane Austen

Stupid men are the only ones worth knowing after all.

Ann Coulter

Our gays are more macho than their straights.

Ann Coulter

Liberals go straight to ugly racist stereotypes when attacking conservative blacks, calling them oversexualized, stupid and/or incompetent.

Ann Coulter

If it were true that conservatives were racist, sexist, homophobic, fascist, stupid, inflexible, angry, and self-righteous, shouldn't their arguments be easy to deconstruct? Someone who is making a point out of anger, ideology, inflexibility, or resentment would presumably construct a flimsy argument. So why can't the argument itself be dismembered rather than the speaker's personal style or hidden motives? Why the evasions?

Abraham Maslow

A stupid man behaves stupidly, not because he wants to, or tries to, or is motivated to, but simply because he is what he is.

Alex Rodriguez

Back then it was a different culture. It was very loose. I was young. I was stupid.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

In the creative process, my ego has always been a huge tyrant ... a dictator and kind of rude and very misleading, because sometimes when I'm doing something, I say, "This is great! This is fantastic! Very genius!" And 20 minutes later, I feel like a dead jellyfish. "You are a stupid a**hole. This is a piece of sh*t. Nobody will care about it."

Aleister Crowley

Religion itself becomes offensively monotonous. On every point of vantage are pagodas -- stupid stalagmites of stagnant piety.

Brad Pitt

I fell in love with the place! You know, the people, the bourbon, the music... it's in the air. It's something you can't describe on camera.

Jelly Roll Morton

Rejoice at the death and cry at the birth: New Orleans sticks close to the Scriptures.

Tyler Perry

I am so proud to be from New Orleans and to be one of those people who had been displaced. I wasn't there during that time, but that's where I come from, that kind of poverty, and I'm very, very proud of that because it's given me my history.
