Favorite QuotesGENERAL QUOTES "Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow." -Swedish Proverb "Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited." -Robert Freeman "There's a big difference between dressing attractively and dressing to attract." -- Boy Meets Girl "Worldliness is taking our cues from the world as to what is important in life." -- Created for His Glory "To disbelieve is easy; to scoff is simple; but to have faith is hard." -Louis L'Amour "No matter what's over your head, it's all under God's feet." -Rimrock "Don't find a fault. Find a remedy." -Henry Ford "You can't love what you don't know. You can't be truly loved if you're not truly known." -- Boy Meets Girl "We read to know we're not alone." -C. S. Lewis "Women see things in a man that men aren't able to see themselves. They know what to look for. It's more than just facial characteristics themselves. It's the way a man carries himself, how he behaves, the way he treats people, the way he speaks, whether his eyes have a fire of purpose in them or are vacant, how he walks -- and especially how he treats women. Everything mingles together. A woman responds to the whole man, not merely his face. When I say that you are handsome, it's everything about the man you are." -A Rose Remembered "What we believe about God determines how we serve Him. Often, that means keeping our nose out of God's business." -- And the Shofar Blew "He found himself thinking of Dee Gautam's words, about how home was the place that accepted him. Marcus found himself adding new words of his own. Perhaps home was the place that accepted him because of his needs. Not in spite of his lacks and failings; because of them...." -The Great Divide "You cannot make the right choices in the visible world unless you are spending much time in the invisible world." -- Created for His Glory "The act of His death is the defining event for the Christian. You can't really understand what God wants of you until you understand the sacrifice His Son made on your behalf." -- The Princess |

READING AND BOOKS "Wear the old coat and buy the new book." -Austin Phelps The failure to read good books both enfeebles the vision and strengthens our most fatal tendency--the belief that the here and now is all there is. -Allan Bloom To read a writer is for me not merely to get an idea of what he says, but to go off with him and travel in his company. -André Gide Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing. -Harper Lee I have never known any distress that an hour's reading did not relieve. -Montesquieu "Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few are to be chewed and digested." -Francis Bacon (1561-1626) "He that loves a book will never want a faithful friend, a wholesome counselor, a cheerful companion, an effectual comforter. By study, by reading, by thinking, one may innocently divert and pleasantly entertain himself, as in all weathers, as in all fortunes." -Barrow "To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting." -Edmund Burke "The delights of reading impart the vivacity of youth even to old age." -Isaac D'Israeli (1766-1848) "There is an art of reading, as well as an art of thinking, and an art of writing." -Isaac D'Israeli (1766-1848) "Reading without thinking is as nothing. For a books is less important of what it says than what it makes you think." The Walking Drum by Louis L'Amour |
