“The one thing I am now sure of is that if there is such a thing as destiny, it is a result of our passion, be that for money, power, or love. Passion, for better or worse. It can keep a soul alive even if all that survives is a shimmering. I've even seen it. I've been bathed in it. I've been changed by it.” IfsSoulPassionResultsDestinyAliveOne ThingChangedLove PassionMoney Power Book:The Witch of Painted Sorrows: A Novel Source: The Witch of Painted Sorrows: A Novel
“You should keep in mind no names, nor numbers, nor isolated incidents, not even results, but only methods..The method produces numerous results; a few of these will remain in our memory, and as long as they remain few, they are useful to illustrate and to keep alive the rules which order a thousand results.” ShouldMindLongOrderNamesMemoriesResultsNumbersAliveProduceThousandMethodIsolatedIncidentsOur Memories Book:Lasker's Manual of Chess Source: Lasker's Manual of Chess
“In any trial, in any bitter situation, you are not alone, you are not helpless, you are not a victim. You have a tree, a cross, shown to you by the Sovereign God of Calvary. Whatever the trial or temptation, it is not more than you can bear. It is bearable. It can be handled. You can know as Joseph knew, "You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive" (Genesis 50:20).” PeopleKnowsOrderEvilResultsSituationAliveTreeBearsCrossesVictimTrialsBitterTemptationPreservesHelplessSovereignNot AloneGenesisBearableCalvary Book:Beloved: From God's Heart to Yours Source: Beloved: From God's Heart to Yours
“You have to hope that [good things] happen to you. [...] That's the only thing we really, surely have, is hope. You hope that you can be alive, that things will happen to you that you'll actually witness, that you'll participate in. Rather than life just rolling over you, and you wake up and it's Thursday, and what happened to Monday? Whatever the best part of my life has been, has been as a result of that remembering.” Has BeensHappensRememberResultsAliveHappenedWake UpGood ThingsThings HappenWitnessOver YouRollingMondayThursdayRolling Over Author:Bill Murray
“I have never understood why they tried to start the revolution by taking over the universities. It should have been self-evident that the net result of success would be to close the universities but leave the nation unaffected--at least, for quite a long time. Nor do I find it easy to believe that the rebels, as intelligent as most of them were, seriously expected that they could keep the universities alive as corporate bodies, once they had control of them, if they made the fundamental alterations in organization and role that they proposed to.” IfsShouldBelieveLongHas BeensMadeSelfBodyWould BeNationsEasyResultsRolesAliveRevolutionLong TimeUnderstoodShould HaveOrganizationIntelligentFundamentalsUniversityExpectedCorporateRebelEvidentShould Have BeenAlterations Author:Muriel Beadle
