Famous Quotes & Sayings

Charles Spurgeon

Little learning and much pride come of hasty reading.

Dennis Prager

All of creation, in the biblical view, was to ultimately prepare the way for the creation of man. But one does not need the Bible alone to hold this view. A purely scientific reading of the universe is in keeping with this view. Everything - every natural and physical law - is exquisitely tuned to produce life, and ultimately man, on earth.

Dennis Haysbert

I knew that they were going to be reading actors for Manute, and I wanted to give it a shot. I wanted a shot to do it, and they embraced that and said, "All right, come on in. Let's see what you've got." So, I went in, and the rest is history. It felt good when I went into the office, and it just worked.

Deborah Smith

I suspected learning a language would be both useful and enjoyable (I love memorising lists of things), and would get rid of the embarrassment of being monolingual at 21. I'd been obsessed with reading for as long as I could remember, the only thing I'd ever thought I might want to be was a writer, but I was much better at crafting sentences than at stringing plots together.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God, who will thwart our plans and frustrate our ways time and again, even daily, by sending people across our path with their demands and requests. We can, then, pass them by, preoccupied with our important daily tasks, just as the priest-perhaps reading the Bible-passed by the man who had fallen among robbers. When we do that, we pass by the visible sign of the Cross raised in our lives to show us that God’s way, and not our own, is what counts.

Elbert Hubbard

I do not read a book; I hold a conversation with the author.

Eleanor Roosevelt

the greatest luxury I know is sitting up reading in bed.

Elizabeth Drew

The test of literature is, I suppose, whether we ourselves live more intensely for the reading of it.

Elizabeth Bibesco

You don't have to signal a social conscience by looking like a frump. Lace knickers won't hasten the holocaust, you can ban the bomb in a feather boa just as well as without, and a mild interest in the length of hemlines doesn't necessarily disqualify you from reading Das Kapital and agreeing with every word.

Sophia Amoruso

Lots of people are going to sell clothes online. But not a lot of people have built a brand, a living, breathing brand that people feel like they're part of.

Alison Swank

One of the two suspicions is that there was an indirect lightning strike which may have caused the zebra to go into the moat and drown. The other is she had a preexisting medical condition causing problems with her throat and lungs, causing breathing problems, and she may have gone into the moat and drowned as a result.

Dean Williams

Breathing will change your life! Breathing is the most important thing you will ever do.

Edgar Allan Poe

No pictorial or sculptural combinations of points of human loveliness, do more than approach the living and breathing human beauty as it gladdens our daily path.

Eleanor Porter

Just breathing isn't living!

Rebecca MacKinnon

If China can't even given LinkedIn enough breathing room to operate in China, that would be a very unfortunate signal for a government to send its professionals about its priorities.

Matt Trannon

I feel like I'm in better shape because I'm breathing from my nose instead of overexerting myself breathing through my mouth. It's kind of comfortable, but you just have to get used to it.

John Stanton

If these rules take effect, thousands of Americans, especially the poor, will face a greater risk of disease and early death from breathing pollution.

Tom Wolfe

Everyone is taught the essentials of writing for at least 13 years, maybe more if they go to college. Nobody is taught music or tap dancing that way.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Only what is essential must be said.

Christy Martin

We're kind of traveling gypsy musicians. We stopped paying rent in 1998. We love touring and we love being on the road, and to do what we're doing it would be impractical to have a home anywhere. So, we had a big garage sale, sold everything but the essentials and that allows us to do about 200 shows a year in 45 states and Ireland.

Ludwig von Mises
