“As for women that do not think their own safety worth their thought, that impatient of their present state, resolve as they call it to take the first good Christian that comes; that runs into matrimony, as a horse rushes into battle; I can say nothing to them, but this, that they are a sort of ladies that are to be pray'd for among the rest of distemper'd people; and to me they look like people that venture their whole estates in a lottery where there is a hundred thousand blanks to one prize.” PeopleThinkingFirstsLooksI CanStatesWholeRunningChristianWomenPrayingBattleThousandHundredHorseSafetyPrizeResolveEstatesVentureImpatientLotteryMatrimonyGood Christian Book:The works of Daniel De Foe [ed.] by W.

“In Africa, when you pick up a book worth reading, out of the deadly consignments which good ships are always being made to carry out all the way from Europe, you read it as an author would like his book to be read, praying to God that he may have it in him to go on as beautifully as he has begun.

“Most of us feel on some level like race horses chomping at the bit, pressing at the gate, hoping and praying for someone to open the door and let us run out. We feel so much pent up energy, so much locked up talent. We know in our hearts that we were born to do great things, and we have a deep-seated dread of wasting our lives. But the only person who can free us is ourselves. Most of us know that. We realize that the locked door is our own fear.” KnowsFeelsHeartPersonsRunningEnergyBitsRealizingBornLevelsRaceOur LivesDoorsTalentPrayingHorseGreat ThingsGatesLockedDreadLocked UpLocked DoorsRace Horses Author:Marianne Williamson
“You can refer to god and you are really just talking about nature. If you are going to say the universe is god, then everything is god, everything is religion. But when we explore traditional religion we are talking about humanistic gods people pray to, that they think can intervene in our lives, who run sort of a heaven-and-hell operation for the afterworld.” PeopleIfsThinkingRunningUniverseHeavenTalkingHellPrayingTraditionalOperationsHeaven And HellHumanistic Author:Bill Maher
