Faith, there hath been many great men that have flattered the people who ne’er loved them.

One who does not know when to die, does not know how to live.

Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.

God wants to help us… He loves us… we are His children. But He will not force His help on us at any time. He sees us when we struggle and fight and complain our way through things. And I believe it breaks His heart, when all we have to do is ask Him for help.

They do not love that do not show their love.

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It’s the transition that’s troublesome.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

Thou know’st the first time that we smell the air we wawl and cry. When we are born we cry, that we are come to this great state of fools.

Good is positive. Evil is merely privative, not absolute: it is like cold, which is the privation of heat. All evil is so much death or nonentity. Benevolence is absolute and real. So much benevolence as a man hath, so much life hath he.

Christmas is the perfect time to celebrate the love of God and family and to create memories that will last forever. Jesus is God’s perfect, indescribable gift. The amazing thing is that not only are we able to receive this gift, but we are able to share it with others on Christmas and every other day of the year.

A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love.

Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood. All is riddle, and the key to a riddle is another riddle.

Everything is clearer when you’re in love.

I don’t think there’s an option for me to fall in love slowly or at medium speed. I either do, or I don’t.

In every parting there is an image of death.

Do you know the only value life has is what life puts on itself?

I like to write about love and love lost because I feel like there are so many different subcategories of emotions that you can possibly delve into.

Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.

Man alone is born crying, lives complaining, and dies disappointed.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

The love of economy is the root of all virtue.

I have rules for a lot of areas of my life. Love is not going to be one of them.

Man’s only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by him. Reverence something to be worshipped by him, and love something to be cherished by him, forever.

My life is real.

I don’t keep people around me that aren’t family. You don’t get to stay. Unless you’re eating at the table with us, you’re not part. We eat together, we cry together, we live together, we die together. Everything that we do is for each other, and we care for another.

I no longer feel attracted to the well-made novel. I want to write the story that will zero in and give you intense, but not connected, moments of experience. I guess that’s the way I see life. People remake themselves bit by bit and do things they don’t understand.

Life is tragic simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time.

A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image.

This is the highest wisdom that I own; freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each day anew.

To me, if life boils down to one thing, it’s movement. To live is to keep moving.

Love to everybody who is out there progressing and taking things to the next level.

The one charm about marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties.

You accept that this civilisation could be abolished and life will begin later on after a few thousand years because that is something that has happened in the history of this planet. When you have peace in yourself and accept, then you are calm enough to do something, but if you are carried by despair there is no hope.

It’s impossible to live a life totally free of feelings. God created all of us to be emotional creatures, and feelings are a big part of our lives.

Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.

I’m an introvert… I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky.

Fear is present when we forget that we are a part of God’s divine design.

You can make the decision to be free from fear and doubt and return to the brilliant light of love that is always with you.

Among the many values in life, I appreciate freedom most.

I love Brad in every state.
