Verse comedy is interesting to me because of the challenge of writing in rhymed couplets, which is not a form that's usually amenable to English, yet to me it gives great possibility for comedy. ~David Ives

All the prayers in the Scripture you will find to be reasoning with God, not a multitude of words heaped together. ~Stephen Charnock
#quotes #stephen-charnock

Sometimes in life, a fog sets in and you don't know which way is the right direction. Every voice may tell you it's not going to happen, but God has placed a promise in your heart. Refuse to listen to those voices. Keep believing. ~Joel Osteen
#quotes #joel-osteen #god #heart

In reading a novel, any novel, we have to know perfectly well that the whole thing is nonsense, and then, while reading, believe every word of it. Finally, when we're done with it, we may find, if it's a good novel, that we're a bit different from what we were before we read it, that we have changed a little. But it's very hard to say just what we learned, how we were changed. ~Ursula K. Le Guin
#quotes #ursula-k-le-guin #reading #novels

The way life runs through everything, even the tiniest elements of nature; that makes me humble. It's the same humility that causes people at a certain time every day to get on their knees and put their foreheads on the ground in honor of something or someone. ~Michael J. Fox
#quotes #michael-j-fox #nature #life #humility

For piety lies not in being often seen turning a veiled head to stones, nor in approaching every altar, nor in lying prostrate before the temples of the gods, nor in sprinkling altars with the blood of beasts but rather in being able to look upon all things with a mind at peace. ~Lucretius

The most important of the Lord's work you will ever do will be the work you do within the walls of your own home. ~Harold B. Lee

The grave is a very small hillock, but we can see farther from it, when standing on it, than from the highest mountain in all the world. ~August Tholuck
#quotes #august-tholuck #death #graves

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. ~William Arthur Ward
#quotes #william-arthur-ward #risk

In our post 9/11 world, our Nation's military deserves, at least the same access to institutions of higher education that any other major employer might enjoy. ~Mike Rogers
#quotes #mike-rogers #education #military #united-states

Whenever armed forces are used, the idea of combat must be present. The end for which a soldier is recruited, clothed, armed, and trained, the whole object of his sleeping, eating, drinking, and marching is simply that he should fight at the right place and the right time. ~Carl von Clausewitz
#quotes #carl-von-clausewitz #war #military

When you are starting out as an actor people are very interested in who you are because they want to know where they can put you. And quite often, and we're all guilty of this is our lives, we judge very quickly and we pigeon-hole people very quickly based on how they look and how they talk and how they dress and we think: "Oh yeah, we know who you are." ~Tom Hiddleston
#quotes #tom-hiddleston #entertainment #judging

It is a shocking trick for a young person to be always lolling upon a sofa. ~Jane Austen
#quotes #jane-austen #laziness #work

Do not try and save yourself. The self that is trying to be saved is not you. ~Mooji
#quotes #mooji #self

Every life has its years in which one progresses as on a tedious and dusty street of poplars, without caring to know where he is. ~Max Muller
#quotes #max-muller #life #progress

It is not economical to go to bed early to save candles if the result is twins. ~Chinese Proverb
#proverbs #chinese-proverbs

One's only rival is one's own potentialities. One's only failure is failing to live up to one's own possibilities. In this sense, every man can be a king, and must therefore be treated like a king. ~Abraham Maslow
