Lady GagaI believe that Catholics involved in politics carry the values of their religion within them, but have the mature awareness and expertise to implement them. The Church will never go beyond its task of expressing and disseminating its values, at least as long as I’m here.
Pope FrancisThe time has come for all evangelists to practice full financial disclosure. The world is watching how we walk and how we talk. We must have the highest standards of morality, ethics and integrity if we are to continue to have influence.

Hermann HesseDid you know there’s a difference between being busy and being fruitful? Did you ever stop to think that just being busy – running around in circles all day but not accomplishing anything – is the same as wasting your time?

Joyce MeyerThe real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war.
Ralph Waldo EmersonYour life is like a play with several acts. Some of the characters who enter have short roles to play, others, much larger. Some are villains and others are good guys. But all of them are necessary; otherwise, they wouldn’t be in the play. Embrace them all, and move on to the next act.
Wayne DyerAs a kid, I’d go into the bathroom when I was having a tantrum. I’d be in the bathroom crying, studying myself in the mirror. I was preparing for future roles.

Kanye WestPatriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.
Bertrand RussellI really haven’t had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I’d rather tell a story about somebody else.
Kurt CobainSuppose you could gain everything in the whole world, and lost your soul. Was it worth it?

Tom BradyBehavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image.

A. P. J. Abdul KalamWe have practiced diplomacy since the very beginning of the nation. Sometimes it has not worked, and we’ve had to go to war. I always believe you should try to find peace and reconciliation before conflict. That has been the approach I’ve taken.
Colin PowellWar is never a lasting solution for any problem.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamYou can be rich in spirit, kindness, love and all those things that you can’t put a dollar sign on.
Dolly PartonIn whatever adulation you get, there’s truth and there’s not truth. And wherever they dog you, and they say it was horrible – there’s truth and there’s not truth. It’s human nature to like to read the adulation more.

Blaise Pascal
