“My theory is that everything went to hell with Prohibition, because it was a law nobody could obey. So the whole concept of the rule of law was corrupted at that moment. Then came Vietnam, and marijuana, which clearly shouldn't be illegal, but is. If you go to jail for ten years in Texas when you light up a joint, who are you? You're a lawbreaker. It's just like Prohibition was. When people accept breaking the law as normal, something happens to the whole society, you see?” PeopleIfsYearsWholeMomentsLightHappensLawAcceptingHellTheoryTenNormalConceptsThings HappenIllegalThat MomentJailTexasVietnamMarijuanaJointsRule Of LawProhibitionLight UpBreaking The Law Author:Orson Welles
“Comparison with something that is better is the thief of joy. Comparison with something that is worse is a joy - full of relief and gratitude! You cannot always choose what happens to you or your circumstances but you can always choose your attitude by what you choose to compare your experiences or circumstances to and therefore how you will feel!! We can make any experience either a heaven or a hell by what we compare it to. Our emotions are 'an inside job!'” FeelsHappensJobsJoyHeavenEmotionAttitudeHellCircumstancesGratitudeCompareReliefComparisonYou ChooseThieves Author:Theodore Roosevelt
“Ho, Ho, Sir Surgeon. You are too delicate to tell the man that he is ill. You hope to heal the sick without their knowing it. You therefore flatter them. And what happens? They laugh at you. They dance upon their own graves and at last they die. Your delicacy is cruelty, your flatteries are poisons you are a murderer. Shall we keep men in a fool's paradise? Shall we lull them into soft slumber from which they will awake in hell? Are we to become helpers of their damnation by our smooth speeches? In the name of God we will not.” MenHappensLastsDiesNamesLaughingHellKnowingHe ManFoolSpeechSickIllGravesHealCrueltyAwakeParadisePoisonDelicateSmoothFlatteryMurdererSurgeonsDamnationDelicacySlumberHelpersLulls Author:Charles Spurgeon
“It does happen, of course, that the priesthood has been on bad terms with womankind for some three thousand years. You see, Buddhism teaches that women are evil. Fiends. Messengers of hell.

“I have learned to go fully in the face of my dreams. I would recommend you do the same. Now is the time in your life to be selfish. To explore. To take chances. Remember being selfish is not the same as being self-indulgent. You have the gift of time. Use it to do what you love. Believe anything is possible and then work like hell to make it happen.” BelieveSelfUseDreamHappensRememberFacesChanceLove IsHellSelfishI Have LearnedTake A ChanceWhat You LoveMake It HappenAnything Is PossibleBeing SelfishSelf IndulgentGift Of Time Author:Julianna Margulies
