I think there's been a big problem between religion, or organized religion, and spirituality. ~Dave Davies
#quotes #dave-davies #religion #spiritual

There will be many times in your lives; at school, and more particularly when you are a grown up; when people will distract or divert you from what needs to be done. You may even welcome the distraction. But if you use it as an excuse for not doing what you suppose to do, you can blame no one but yourself. If you truly wish to accomplish something, you should allow nothing to stop you, and chances are you'll succeed. ~Julie Andrews
#quotes #julie-andrews #action #distraction

When first starting to work with someone you try to get them in the same mindset that you were in when you were successful, and I realized the best thing you can ever do is realize that they are not you. They have a different persona and mindset, and you have to figure out what works best within your communication with that athlete.

How we shape our understanding of others' lives is determined by what we find memorable in them, and that in turn is determined not by any potentially accurate overview of another's personality but rather by the tension and balance that exist in our daily relationships. ~Tom Robbins

Theatre is where my heart is. It is where I can do my best work. And even if I do films and TV, that is what I want to come back to. ~Kelly Reilly

Science is changing. God's Word does not change! ~Adrian Rogers
#quotes #adrian-rogers #science #religion

This world is run by people who know how to do things. They know how things work. They are equipped. Up there, there is a layer of people who run everything. But we, we are just peasants. We do not understand what is going on, and we cannot do anything. ~Doris Lessing
#quotes #doris-lessing #world

I find it shocking that anybody can be brought down in D.C. for gossip, ostensibly. I thought that was the coin of the realm there. That's like getting hit with lightning on a cloudless day. ~Dennis Miller
#quotes #dennis-miller #dc

The man who has learned to triumph over sorrow wears his miseries as though they were sacred fillets upon his brow; and nothing is so entirely admirable as a man bravely wretched. ~Seneca

But I think we need to remember that democracy everywhere is by its nature incomplete, a work in progress. ~Daisaku Ikeda
#quotes #daisaku-ikeda #democracy #progress

What bothers most critics of my work is the goofiness. One reviewer said I need to make up my mind if want to be funny or serious. My response is that I will make up my mind when God does, because life is a commingling of the sacred and the profane, good and evil. To try and separate them is fallacy. ~Tom Robbins

I think inspiration is always around; it is just a question of whether or not you are noticing it. ~John Green

The closer you can get to being personal, the better the work is, or the more interesting the work is. ~James Gray
