What you do is you don't allow anyone to dictate who you are.

Jacqueline Carey

There are those who do not hold that there is any innate goodness to mankind. To them I say, had you lived my life, you would not believe it.

The practical life of a vast number of people is not, as a matter of fact, worth while at all. It is like an impressive fur coat with no one inside it.

(The captive voice, far away, put on a cricket's clothes.) Translated by William S. Merwin

Ezra Pound

Fit for kings, formal gardens afford an earthly Elysium and the odd impression that we mere men might actually control nature for a time.

Ezra Taft Benson

One who is kind is sympathetic and gentle with others. He is considerate of others feelings and courteous in his behavior. He has a helpful nature. Kindness pardons others? weaknesses and fault.

As a piece of analysis, it is deeply thought-provoking.

Francis Chan

...our concern is more about going to heaven than loving the King.
