“A football team is really a big family. There's a give and take... but a few are working for their name only.

“We have a sense of continuity, which gives us what we call a sense of time.

“What happened to that man I was seven autumns ago? What happened to that country? Time heals, yes - and thank God the pain and terror of that time has abated, at least for most of us. In that sense time is a mercy. But time also obscures the life-giving truths we perceive in the light of the shadow of death. In that way, time is a curse.” MenWayGivingCountryLightPainHappenedShadowMercySevenTerrorHealPerceiveCurseAutumnThank GodTime HealsShadow Of Death Author:Rod Dreher

“Abbie Hoffman's inspiration was, in a sense, inadvertent. I wanted to do something to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Woodstock at the time, and it just happened that Abbie died the same year. Hoffman was always an inspiration to me, for his activism and execution of that activism, and any of his books will give you a guide and a map to creating almost anything, if you apply it to what it is you want to do.” IfsWantGivingYearsBookInspirationWantedHappenedCreatingDiedGuidesActivismCelebrateMapsExecutionWoodstock Author:Richard Cotovsky

“First of all, let me give my comments on the blasphemy law. This law was introduced by the military dictator General Ziaul Haq. No one demanded the blasphemy law in Pakistan. But he wanted to give protection to his undemocratic rule, dictatorship, by using religion. So Pakistan came into being in 1947, and from 1947 until 1986 no case against any minorities was registered under the protection of the blasphemy law. Nobody from minorities was killed and no act of violence happened [against them].” GivingFirstsWantedLawCasesViolenceHappenedMilitaryLet MeProtectionMinoritiesCommentDictatorshipDictatorPakistanBlasphemyActs Of Violence Author:Shahbaz Bhatti
“I think mentoring is essential in life, both being a mentor to someone and being mentored, and I think that when you are mentored it inspires a generosity in you to mentor others and that I know is what happened with me, so for instance, the people that come through my studio to work for me, it's not good enough for me to just give them a paycheck.” PeopleThinkingKnowsGivingEnoughHappenedInspireEssentialsStudiosInstanceGenerosityGood EnoughMentorBeing MeNot Good EnoughMentoringPaychecks Author:Carol Friedman
