No matter our sins or our sufferings, we are not isolated or abandoned. Christ is there for us, in good times and bad, and if we know how to follow Him, how to walk in His footsteps, then the road home doesn’t seem quite so treacherous or impossible to scale.

Toni Sorenson

Have you ever come out of a dramatic, chaotic situation and said, “I did everything I could, and it wasn’t enough?”That’s because “everything we can” isn’t enough. It’s only enough when our everything joins with Christ’s everything.

Toni Sorenson

Realize that God uses the fires of life to purify your faith, to shape you into Christ’s image, and to cause you to love Him…even more!

Elizabeth George

To be restored to Christ is to know a fulfilled life

Sunday Adelaja

Sleepwalking is the perfect exorcise for lazy people

Benny Bellamacina

In life there are squares and there are circles, sometimes it's best to be an oblong

Benny Bellamacina

Do short people reach their full potential quicker?

Benny Bellamacina

There's something about courting the darkness that makes some people see the truth in raw, twisted ways, as though they were shining a black light on life to illuminate the absurdity of it all. Comics tell you a truth you can only see from the underside of the psyche. At its best, comedy is prophesy and societal dream interpretation. At its worst it's just dick jokes.

Nadia Bolz-Weber

I'm so out of shape I take steroids just to watch sports.

Randy Kagan

You don’t have to want to be in arelationship for a little bow-chicka-bow-wow.

Jennifer L. Armentrout

I watched 60 Minutes...and they showed this woman, she's in every kind of..thing like that. 'This woman', they say, 'she lost her first four children--died from malnutrition--and, now, she's afraid that her new six-month-old newborn twins will suffer the same fate'. ... Who's going to step in and say...'kick her in the cunt 'til it doesn't work', 'that woman is a sociopath! that is a sick human being!'. ... How much of a sociopath do you need to be? That is the slow ritual torture-murder of children, one after another! At what point does cause-and-effect not kick in? How many bulb-headed skeletons have to go stiff in your arms?! ... 'what? this one's not working... oh, well let's try again', one after another. At what point do you not go 'I think this is bad'? ... How many kids are you going to fuckin' kill, lady? ... If you impregnate someone under those conditions, they should abort the parents! that's sick!

Doug Stanhope

A life without trouble and tragedy is boring and not a plot for comedy.

Debasish Mridha

This isn't where I intended to be. Killing a person has a funny way of getting your life off-track.

Erin Mitchell

This isn't where I intended to be. Killing a person has a funny way of getting your life off-track. (Dark City Lights)

Erin Mitchell

The train hit her with the sound of a meat-filled hefty bag smacking the pavement, and the effect was much the same, I guess. (Dark City Lights)

Warren Moore

A life like this develops the comedy sense. You can't play tragedy while you're living it.

Edna Ferber

Haley and I would talk for hours about which member of 'N Sync we'd want to marry. After long deliberation, the answer was always J. C. Chasez. JoeyFatone's last name was going to be “Fat One” no matter how great he was, and even though they didn't know at theirage that Lance Bass was gay outright, they sensed he'd make a better good friend and confidante. As for Justin Timberlake, well, JT was the coolest and hottest, but too flashy, so we couldn't trust him to be faithful. J. C. Chasez was the smart compromise.

Mindy Kaling

It is the custom on the stage: in all good, murderous melodramas: to present the tragic and the comic scenes, in as regular alternation, as the layers of red and white in a side of streaky, well-cured bacon. The hero sinks upon his straw bed, weighed down by fetters and misfortunes; and, in the next scene, his faithful but unconscious squire regales the audience with a comic song. We behold, with throbbing bosoms, the heroine in the grasp of a proud and ruthless baron: her virtue and her life alike in danger; drawing forth a dagger to preserve the one at the cost of the other; and, just as our expectations are wrought up to the highest pitch, a whistle is heard: and we are straightway transported to the great hall of the castle: where a grey-headed seneschal sings a funny chorus with a funnier body of vassals, who are free of all sorts of places from church vaults to palaces, and roam about in company, carolling perpetually.Such changes appear absurd; but they are not so unnatural as they would seem at first sight. The transitions in real life from well-spread boards to death-beds, and from mourning weeds to holiday garments, are not a whit less startling; only, there, we are busy actors, instead of passive lookers-on; which makes a vast difference. The actors in the mimic life of the theatre, are blind to violent transitions and abrupt impulses of passion or feeling, which, presented before the eyes of mere spectators, are at once condemned as outrageous and preposterous.

Charles Dickens

In the grand scheme of life, nobody grows old keeping their soul unblemished.

A.J. Darkholme

Life is about enjoying the journey, not the end destination.

Molly Friedenfeld

The life of every individual, viewed as a whole and in general, and when only its most significant features are emphasized, is really a tragedy; but gone through in detail it has the character of a comedy.

Arthur Schopenhauer

The sun rises each morning to shed light on the things we may have overlooked the day before.

Tyler J. Hebert

Swag is my ethic, s/o to my bitches

Joe Prophet

When we ask people to live their lives through our models, we are potentially reducing life itself. How can we ever know what we might be losing?

Jaron Lanier

Life is a precious gift, but we realize this only when we are in the end. Change it.

Ronald Peret

The universe constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions; whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us. Let us spend our lives in conceiving then. The poet or the artist never yet had so fair and noble a design but some of his posterity at least could accomplish it.

Henry David Thoreau

One entered the world, Denis pursued, having ready-made ideas about everything. One had a philosophy and tried to make life fit into it. One should have lived first and then made one's philosophy to fit life...Life, facts, things were horribly complicated; ideas, even the most difficult of them, deceptively simple. In the world of ideas, everything was clear; in life all was obscure, embroiled. Was it surprising that one was miserable, horribly unhappy?

Aldous Huxley

Just because it's something original, eccentric or you're not used to it; doesn't mean it's wrong.

Sandra Chami Kassis

Nothing is less like life than our idea of it.

Marty Rubin

Sometimes I like to think I live with ghosts. Not from my past, but wispy bits of ideas and books that hang in the air like silk puppets. Sometimes I think I see my own ideas, floating around too, but they usually don't last that long. They're more like mayflies; they're born, big and gleaming, and then they fly around, buzzing like crazy before they fall to the floor, dead, about twenty four hours later.

Scarlett Thomas

We like to take credit when we get a new idea, as if we originated the idea in our brain, but what we actually did was no less extraordinary: we channeled the idea.

Chris Prentiss

Events in life mean nothing if you do not reflect on them in a deep way, and ideas from books are pointless if they have no application to life as you live it.

Robert Greene

We are told to remember the idea and not the man. Because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten. But 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I have witnessed firsthand the power of ideas. I've seen people kill in the name of them. But you cannot kiss an idea... cannot touch it or hold it.Ideas do not bleed. They do not feel pain. They do not love. And it is not an idea that I miss. It is a man.A man that made me remember the 5th of November. A man that I will never forget.

Alan Moore

Yet he refused to be depressed. Instead, Morrie had become a lightning rod of ideas.

Mitch Albom

Never limit yourself to what you can't do, but to what you have the power to do with what you have.

Nadège Richards

The moment you inject information, education, and an entrepreneurial spark in a community, it gets empowered enough to inspire, build, and uplift itself.

Sharad Vivek Sagar

Without their uniforms, they were probably nobodies, rejects. Give a man a uniform. Give him a few sparkly badges, a purpose, a gun ... and suddenly, he was no longer just another kid trying to make it through life without being ridiculed. Suddenly, he was a part of something. Something important. Something powerful. Something greater than he could ever be on his own. It was amazing how empowering the group could be.

Kelseyleigh Reber

Disability is not what we see or appear, it is all about not doing what one really wanted to do...

Seal the Smile

We tend to disempower ourselves. We tend to believe that we don’t matter. And in the act of taking that idea to ourselves we give everything away to somebody else, to something else.

Terence McKenna

Workers were required to stay six months, and even then permission to quit was not always granted. The factory held the first two months of every worker's pay; leaving without approval meant losing that money and starting over somewhere else. That was a fact of factory life you couldn't know from the outside: Getting into a factory was easy. The hard part was getting out.

Leslie T. Chang

Empowerment is the ability to refine, improve, and enhance your life without co-dependency.

Steve Maraboli

The petite bourgeoise and small property in general represent a precious zone of autonomy and freedom in state systems increasingly dominated by large public and private bureaucracies.

James C. Scott

It is time someone put in a good word for the petite bourgeoise. Unlike the working class and capitalists, who have never lack for spokespersons, the petite bourgeoise rarely, if ever, speaks for itself.

James C. Scott

They said, Now we are capitalists! but all Ulrich could see was criminality to a principle.

Rana Dasgupta

In every motions to put colors on my canvas, I feel like I am screaming, "I AM HERE"... To whom?.. To where?... Where am I going to...?

Hiroko Sakai

Wherever I wander off to, when I draw, when I paint, I get my life back. I am lucky that I am an Artist.

Hiroko Sakai

The privilege of struggling artists is ... the life being buried in what we can't really afford of* what a gorgeous life!!

Hiroko Sakai

my problem is that my body acts before my brain thinks... it sometimes brings me huge trouble, or also huge success. recently, my body and brain got come to an agreement. it may be far better to live this gambling life than living in boring average ...they at least make my art more interesting

Hiroko Sakai

I am living breathing freedom

Hiroko Sakai

From the moment I held the box of colors in my hands, I knew this was my life. I threw myself into it like a beast that plunges towards the thing it loves.

Henri Matisse

If an artist is not only he who sings or paints, but he who express himself by words or drawing then I can consider myself as one.

Amen Muffler

You are the artist, and your days the canvas. Will you create an original masterpiece, or live a paint-by-numbers kind of life?

John Mark Green

And the eye became a body, the murky heart of a rose. The sinister shadow of an orchid. Or the indolent poppy balanced behind the ear of Baudelaire.

Patti Smith

The intention (of an artist) is (the same as a scientist)...to discover and reveal what is unsuspected but significant in life.

H W Leggett

2.07 WALK OF LIFELife but like a cycle that you be riding,You will fall if you ever stop peddling,Life not of good cards you be holding,But those held and how you be playing.[68]t- 4

Munindra Misra

Most of the poems I write take 5 minutes, but the words can give a lifetime of relief. Many people that have read my book say it helped them with their grief.

Stanley Victor Paskavich

Reading a stranger's words and finding yourself in them.

Jenim Dibie

A little bump in the road is just a bump. There's more ahead until you reach your destination.

China Cancio

We think we owe everyone something. We think we need to explain ourselves and we think too much about thinking too much.And it is funny how we think we know it all, but the reality is this: everything we think that brings us together is everything that sets us further apart. And over thinking of how different we all are; is failing to recognize of how connected we all could really be.

Robert M. Drake

He walked out the door and with each step my heart breaks.He'd be gone for days with long silences between each breath.I know I'm his one of many and he knows he's my one of one. The only one who holds him down.Yet, he still leaves.He walks through the door and with each step my heart leaps.He crumbles to the ground in tears telling me he's sorry.He says he needs me and he's nothing without me.How can he be so attached and detached at the same time?I swear, this man loves to see me in pain.
