Famous Quotes & Sayings

Thomas Hobbes

For though there be many things in God's Word above Reason--that is to say, which cannot by natural reason be either demonstrated or confuted--yet there is nothing contrary to it.

Ashes, Bones, Grass, Heart, Stone, Love, Sorrow, Blood, Earth, Sky.

You can either set brick as a laborer or as an artist. You can make the work a chore, or you can have a good time.
