In making our decisions, we must use the brains that God has given us. But we must also use our hearts which He also gave us.

Norman LockWe all have regrets, Urian. Nothing that lives is immune from that nasty emotion. (Acheron) So what? You want me to go kiss and make up? (Urian) Hardly. But I want you to set aside your own hurt and anger to see clearly for a minute. This isnโt about you and your father anymore than itโs about me and Nick hating each other over something we canโt change. This is about saving the lives of a million innocent people. People like Phoebe who donโt deserve to be hunted and killed. If I can stand at the side of my enemies for the greater good, so can you. (Acheron)

Walter ScottThe confidence and security of a people can be measured by their attitude toward laxatives. At the high noon of the British sun, soldiers in far-flung outposts of the Empire doctored themselves with "a spoonful o' gunpowder in a cuppa 'ot tea." Purveyors and users of harsh laxatives were not afraid of being thought mean and unfriendly just because their laxatives were.

John OwenI speak as a man of the world to men of the world; and I say to you, Search the Scriptures! The Bible is the book of all others, to be read at all ages, and in all conditions of human life; not to be read once or twice or thrice through, and then laid aside, but to be read in small portions of one or two chapters every day, and never to be intermitted, unless by some overruling necessity.

Barack ObamaIn your standard-issue family, of which few remain, but on which our expectations are still based, there are parents and there are children.

Delia EphronThere is a special blessing in old clothes, and that aside from their comfort, for which especially they are to be cherished.

RajneeshI wonder how long this word will last, governed exclusively by the merciless, inhuman and immoral criteria of global economy.

Aside from me, of course.โ She had loved him just for that.

I wanted that moment.
