Nothing in the affairs of men is worthy of great anxiety.
PlatoSecurity is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
Helen KellerWe are here and it is now. Further than that, all human knowledge is moonshine.

Jean-Paul SartreReligion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we adopt reason and science as our guidelines.
Bertrand RussellI praticed making faces in the mirror and it would drive my mother crazy. She used to scare me by saying that I was going to see the devil if I kept looking in the mirror. That fascinated me even more, of course.
Jim CarreyI believe in universal health care. And I am not afraid to say so.
Stephen HawkingThe usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
Stephen HawkingThe most costly of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true. It is the chief occupation of mankind.
H. L. MenckenWhenever I’m confused about something, I ask God to reveal the answers to my questions, and he does.
Beyonce KnowlesIt doesn’t matter where you come from, what you have or don’t have, what you lack, or what you have too much of. But all you need to have is faith in God, an undying passion for what you do and what you choose to do in this life, and a relentless drive and the will to do whatever it takes to be successful in whatever you put your mind to.
Stephen CurryIllusion is the first of all pleasures.

Henry AdamsGod is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.

Napoleon BonaparteWorshipping the Lord means giving Him the place that he must have; worshipping the Lord means stating, believing – not only by our words – that He alone truly guides our lives; worshipping the Lord means that we are convinced before Him that He is the only God, the God of our lives, the God of our history.
Pope FrancisIf any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word – prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
Charles SpurgeonAs long as your body is healthy and under control and death is distant, try to save your soul; when death is immanent what can you do?
ChanakyaThe important question is not, what will yield to man a few scattered pleasures, but what will render his life happy on the whole amount.
Joseph AddisonThose who believe that they are exclusively in the right are generally those who achieve something.
Aldous HuxleyOur country does not believe in the concept of your God and my God. We believe that all gods are one. We have different ways of accepting Him. All ways lead to Him.

Lyndon B. JohnsonChange alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal.
Arthur SchopenhauerShe believed in nothing; only her skepticism kept her from being an atheist.

Albert CamusWe usually lose today, because there has been a yesterday, and tomorrow is coming.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheMany people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so.
Bertrand RussellIn this quest to seek and find God in all things, there is still an area of uncertainty. There must be. If a person says that he met God with total certainty and is not touched by a margin of uncertainty, then this is not good.
Pope FrancisFor centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing.
H. L. MenckenIf the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.
C. S. LewisMan – a being in search of meaning.
PlatoIn golf, the player, coach and official are rolled into one, and they overlap completely. Golf really is the best microcosm of life – or at least the way life should be.
