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.

Jim Carrey

Second year in a row -- what's going on here, man? ... I'm the establishment I once rejected. ... I'm the Tom Hanks of the Golden Globes.

David Williams

Maybe it's just the old golden rule: Treat someone else the way you'd like to be treated.

Twiggy

My golden rules for looking good are to moisturise to ridiculousness with a really rich moisturiser. And I always take my make-up off before going to bed.

Richard Aboulafia

If they do this right, they are golden for a long time.

Christopher Guest

I have a half Lab and half golden retriever named Henry and then the other one, Lucy, is half Akita and half something else.

Chris Castro

This strategy makes a lot of sense for us. There's a golden opportunity for us in DVD.

Barack Obama

I will never turn Medicare into a voucher. No American should ever have to spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies. They should retire with the care and dignity they have earned.

Geoff Blum

Those are golden opportunities. A strikeout right there would have been better than what I did.

Stuart Appleby

We don't have that golden child. It's tricky at the moment because they're all waiting for someone to step out of the darkness.
