“Every thinking man, when he thinks, realizes that the teachings of the Bible are so interwoven and intertwined with our whole civic and social life that it would be literally, I do not mean figuratively, but literally impossible for us to figure what the loss would be if these teachings were removed. We would lose all the standards by which we now judge both public and private morals; all the standards toward which we, with more or less resolution, strive to raise ourselves.” IfsThinkingMenMeanWholeWould BeSocialRealizingLosesLossMoralImpossibleTeachingFiguresJudgingStandardsRaisesStrivePresidentialResolutionCivicsSocial LifeIntertwinedThinking Man Author:Theodore Roosevelt

“I think living in the West, we live in a culture where everybody strives for perfection, whether it's in body, health, spirit, skin, hair, nails. Perfect happiness would be a constant state of bliss, which doesn't exist. Growing up and going through the loss I went through, I never had a moment where I believed a constant state of bliss was possible. Instead, I tried to create many moments. But, I didn't know how to get there. Because of what I went through, I have a natural tendency towards darkness. Though it may be in my DNA as well.” ThinkingMomentsSpiritCultureNaturalLossPerfectDarknessGrowing UpPerfectionSkinsStriveBlissStrife Author:Loung Ung
“When someone fears losing your affection, he or she will strive to keep it. Perhaps you have strived to keep someone's affection, too. Fear of loss is not love.” LossLosingStriveAffection Author:Gary Zukav
“We're nothing if we're not loved. When you meet somebody who is more important to you than yourself, that has to be the most important thing in life, really. And I think we are all striving for it in different ways. I also believe very, very strongly that everybody is the hero/heroine of his/her own life. I try to make my characters kind of ordinary, somebody that anybody could be. Because we've all had loves, perhaps love and loss, people can relate to my characters” PeopleIfsThinkingWayTryingBelieveKindImportantDifferentCharacterLossHeroOrdinaryImportant ThingsStriveRelateDifferent WaysThings In LifeHeroinesLove And LossMost Important Things In LifePerhaps Love Author:Maeve Binchy
