Quote by Mikki Brammer

“Lucrul pe care nu-l iau în calcul majoritatea oamenilor este că moartea e adesea aleatorie și crudă. Nu ține cont dacă ai fost un om bun toată viaţa. Sau dacă ai mâncat sănătos, dacă ai făcut mișcare frecvent, dacă ai purtat mereu centura de siguranţă sau casca. Nu ţine cont dacă persoana iubită care rămâne în urmă și-ar putea petrece tot restul vieții retrăind în minte totul, chinuită de cuvintele "ce ar fi fost dacă". Oamenii își spun că au suficient timp, până când ajung la mila unei acțiuni necugetate: un șofer cu ochii în telefon, un vecin care a lăsat o lumânare aprinsă. Iar atunci e prea târziu.”

“Men can't all think alike, and the trouble with the Southern people always has been that they won't tolerate any difference of opinion. If God Almighty had intended all men to think just alike, He might just as well have made but one man....My opinion is that the only true solution for Southern troubles is for the people to accept cordially and in good faith all the results of the war, including the reconstruction measures, the acts of Congress, negro suffrage, etc., and live up to them like men. If they would do this, and encourage Northern immigration, and treat all men fairly, whites and blacks, the troubles would soon be over, and in less than five years, the South would be in the enjoyment of greater prosperity than ever. -- JAMES LONGSTREET, Interview with correspondent from the Indianapolis Journal, September 24, 1874.”

“To engage Jews excluded by the harsh and judgmental elite, Jesus insisted on preaching out in nature to mass audiences. To renew appreciation for a loving and compassionate Divine, Jesus sat alongside the poor and the outcast, most notably lepers.”

“We receive education on the task that is accomplished on one's own and on the work that is accomplished but twenty people. But we do not receive education on the task that is accomplished by two people.”

“There are seeds of greatness within you. You will either see them as worth planting, or you will not. You may attempt to trade them for other seeds that will never adapt to the soil of your soul, or you will realize that no seed created can match the ones already within you. Wisdom would tell you to accept the seeds, not your view of them. Prudence would tell you to embrace the soil, not your sense of its suitability. And determination would tell you to rigorously cultivate that which is already within you with great vigor, for to alter seed or soil is to destroy both and render the garden barren.”
