“Any big task if you look at the grand picture... it seems to big to accomplish, so just watch the footstep in front of you... And that's what I do; try and win little battles every day.” IfsTryingLooksLittlesBigsSeemsWinningWatchesFrontsBattleTasksAccomplishMmaFootsteps Author:Forrest Griffin
“One of the greatest sins in any story is false suspense. The kind of 'suspense' that disintegrates the moment you give your reader one second to think about it. And it's an easy trap to fall into, so watch carefully for it. If your story hinges on the question, 'Will Superman be pushed so far in his battle against Lex Luthor that he'll have to kill him?', or if your big cliffhanger moment is, 'Wow, is Spider-Man really dead this time?', then I understand Food Lion is hiring.” IfsThinkingMenGivingKindBookMomentsStoriesBigsFallEasySinWatchesReaderBattleComicSuspenseLionsWowTrapsComic BookSpidersHiringHingesSpider ManCliffhanger Author:Mark Waid

“I'd always written rhymes but I was scared to share them.

“I just can't ever be a free spirit and just relax. When it comes to work, this is good. I'm very disciplined, which with writing is often half the battle, or more.

“Satan's time of tempting is usually after an ordinance; and the reason is, because then he thinks he shall find us most secure. When we have been at solemn duties, we are apt to think all is done, and we grow remiss, and leave off that zeal and strictness as before; just as a soldier, who after a battle leaves off his armour, not once dreaming, of an enemy. Satan watches his time, and when we least suspect, then he throws in a temptation.” ThinkingHas BeensReasonDoneDreamGrowsPrayerEnemyWatchesDutyBattleSoldierTemptationSecureSatanSuspectsSolemnZealTemptingOrdinancesArmour Book:All Things for Good Source: All Things for Good

“From camp to camp, through the foul womb of night, The hum of either army stilly sounds, That the fixed sentinels almost receive The secret whispers of each other's watch. Fire answers fire, and through their play flames Each battle sees the other's umbered face. Steed threatens steed, in high and boastful neighs Piercing the night's dull ear; and from the tents The armorers accomplishing the knights, With busy hammers closing rivets up, Give dreadful note of preparation.” GivingWarPlayFacesNightSoundAnswersSecretWatchesFireBattleEarsArmyNotesBusyPreparationFlamesFixedDullCampsWombHammersClosingKnightsFoulTentsPiercingsSentinels Author:William Shakespeare
“This is our problem, our dilemma, yes? We cannot celebrate and declare ourselves to belong to the victorious nations because our brothers and our fathers and grandfathers died in this battle [in Normandy], yes. I understand that the Americans and the British and French celebrate one of the greatest and most important military victories in history. And I understand this. I don't see a reasonable place for the Germans.

“There can be no doubt about this. It even held true for the soldiers involved in the Kosovo War. For the soldiers stayed mostly in their barracks!

“You ever watch a football game and get totally into it? Why? It's not a real battle. It's just a game somebody made up. So how can you take it seriously? Or, you ever see a movie that made your heart about jump out of your chest? Or one that made you cry? Why? It wasn't real. You ever look at a photo of food that made your mouth water? Why? You can't eat the picture. . . . . . Same thing with water towers and God.

“Everyone has an angel, a guardian who watches over us. We can't know what form they'll take. One day old man, next day little girl.
