Results from Cole's Quotables:

The art of being yourself at your best is the art of unfolding your personality into the person you want to be. . . . Be gentle with yourself, learn to love yourself, to forgive yourself, for only as we have the right attitude toward ourselves can we have the right attitude toward others.: Wilfred Peterson, This Week (Oct. 1, 1961)
Income tax returns are the most imaginative fiction being written today.: Herman Wouk (1915 - )
The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as the deed; The deed develops into habit; And habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care, And let it spring from love Born out of concern for all beings.: The Buddha
The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy.: Meryl Streep (1949 - )

Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as I live it is my privilege - my *privilege* to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I love. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me; it is a sort of splendid torch which I've got a hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.: George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
Receiving a million dollars tax free will make you feel better than being flat broke and having a stomach ache.: Dolph Sharp, "I'm O.K., You're Not So Hot"
Next to being shot at and missed, nothing is really quite as satisfying as an income tax refund.: F. J. Raymond
...that people often say about Him: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God." That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic--on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg--or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.: C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963), from _Mere_Christianity_
Since the printing press came into being, poetry has ceased to be the delight of the whole community of man; it has become the amusement and delight of the few.: John Masefield (1878 - 1967)
Time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life.: William Faulkner (1897 - 1962)
