Deceit for personal gain is one of history's most recurring crimes. Man's first step towards change would be thinking, counter-arguing, re-thinking, twisting, straightening, perfecting, then believing every original idea he intends to make public before making it public. There is always an angle from which an absolute truth may appear askew just as there is always a personal emotion, or a personal agenda, which alienates the ultimate good of mankind.
Confidence is like a dragon where, for every head cut off, two more heads grow back.
The most mesmerizing of artists is always like one who was merely drawing in the sand and people came to watch.
It often seems as though the silent, humble servant is secretly wiser and more discerning than the haughty master; yet through dutiful (and sometimes insecure) surrender he continues to serve and carry out petty orders in loyal acquiesce.
If what you create seems to turn out much stranger than who you are as a person, it's probably because your heart is talking.
To seek greatness is the only righteous vengeance.
To better understand God we must first shatter our own idea of God - maybe even day after day. Maybe he's too great to stay compressed in the human mind. Maybe he splits it wide open; this is why pretentious intellectualism so often fails to comprehend the concept of God: it is only accepting of what it can explain while in the process finding higher sources offensive. What we may confidently assert is that faith is the opening that allows God, this unpredictable, unseen power, to travel in and out of the mind without all the pains of confusion.
We have better relationships with those who truly seek us rather than those sitting on the couch watching us move mountains trying to prove ourselves.
To ask, 'How do you do it?' is already starting off on the wrong foot. When reaching for the stars, there does not have to be a 'how' if there is a big enough 'why'.
Love tames the benumbed beast. A man is put to use regarding a woman's physical safety, but a woman is put to use regarding a man's mental safety.
Emotion is always multiplied in the art of a person who doesn't really show much emotion. It once expanded deep within his hidden soul, and following the downplay his audience is blown away.
If you're waiting until you feel talented enough to make it, you'll never make it.
To me it seems that too many young women of this time share the same creed. 'Live, laugh, love, be nothing but happy, experience everything, et cetera et cetera.' How monotonous, how useless this becomes. What about the honors of Joan of Arc, Beauvoir, Stowe, Xena, Princess Leia, or women that would truly fight for something other than just their own emotions?
The only activity a cynic will find contagious is yawning, that is, with other people, at other people.
Closed in a room, my imagination becomes the universe, and the rest of the world is missing out.
The factory of love encompasses all, but on some days, does it seem to be one of suffocation, squeezing its target too tightly? And on other days not tight enough? Or maybe that is the breath of a living love knowing when to protect, when to release, and when to protect again. For we are the products of an active love - the Father the creator, the Son the perfecter, the Spirit the supervisor - but just like in a factory, to deny the process is to ultimately create a defect of oneself.
You have to lift a person up before you can really put them in their place.
As long as I am breathing, in my eyes, I am just beginning.
The love of conflict is most evident when opposing forces join sides to defeat the peacemaker.
An insincere critic of a sincere person never wins.
Women rescue men just as much as, if not more than, men rescue women.
The manlier you are, the harder it is to understand what a woman wants: there is not a hint of female brain in you.
Envy is a sign of insecurity, yes; but so is longing to be envied.
I will never deny that life isn't fair. It seems as though when a woman leaves a man she is strong and independent, but when a man leaves a woman he is a pig and a jerk.
I don't pretend to know everything; I just only speak on matters I know I'll win.
