If we live truly, we shall see truly. Ralph Waldo Emerson
We love to see through others, but we dislike being seen through. La Rochefoucauld
As a man is, so he sees. William Blake
We see things as we are, not as they are. Jennifer Stone
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. Edgar Allan Poe
What is this world in which we live? Who are we? Who are our friends, lovers, family? Our perceptions tell us what are our world is, and therefore, who are what we are. Each of us lives in this world of ours, and yet each of us has a different perception of it.

I don't believe in God because I don't believe in Mother Goose. Clarence Darrow
God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Friedrich Nietzsche
Outside man, there is nothing. George Orwell
How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter. Woody Allen
If there were no God, he would have to be invented. Fyodor Dostoyevsky
If the atheists are proven correct that there is no god, God would still remain as the single most influential factor in all world events, small and large.

Promises, Honesty, and what they mean
Don't ever promise more than you can deliver, but always deliver more than you promise. Lou Holtz
Promise little and do much; so shalt thou have thanks. Thomas Fuller
The righteous promise little and perform much, the wicked promise much and perform not even a little. Talmud
A nod of an honest man is enough. James Kelly
An honest man's word is as good as his bond. Cervantes
It is my promise that represents me. If you cannot believe the words of my promise, then you cannot believe my heart, my soul, the very essence of who I am. Give your promises wisely and sparingly. In the end, you will be judged by the promises that you keep, rather than the ones you make.

Positive Quotations about Football
Football isn't a contact sport. It's a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport. Vince Lombardi
Sometimes, Rock, when the team's up against it, when things are going wrong and the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to go in there with all they've got and win just one for the Gipper. I don't know where I'll be then, Rock, but I'll know about it, and I'll be happy. George Gipp
Football combines the two worst features of American life. It is violence punctuated by committe meetings. George Will
I give so much of myself on Sunday. I drain all the life out of myself out there. I get paid to play, to win, to give the city pride, so maybe everybody can forget for a little while how hard life is. Randall Cunningham
If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead. Erma Bombeck
Football is one of America's great passions. We spend four months watching football and eight months talking about it. America just flat loves football. Mr. Rheaman

Patience is not always easy to bear, but it is often the best remedy
Patience is necessary, and one cannot reap immediately where one has sown. Soren Kierkegaard
Patience and diligence, like faith, move mountains. William Penn
Be patient, my soul; await the fulfillment of God's promise, and you shall enjoy the abundance of His goodness in Heaven. Thomas Kempis
It is very strange . . . that the years teach us patience; the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting. Elizabeth Taylor
Bear with patience what thou canst not remedy with prudence. Thomas Fuller
Patience can move mountains because it does not stop, it does not falter, it does not tire. Patience resists all. Be strong, and you may work miracles in your life.

Art, Artists, and the People who Influence Them
Today, as you know, I am famous and very rich. But when I am alone with myself, I haven't the courage to consider myself an artist in the great and ancient sense of that word. . . . I am only a public entertainer who understands his age. Pablo Picasso
The artist is extremely lucky who is presented with the worst possible ordeal which will not actually kill him. At that point, he's in business. John Berryman
The artist is not a reporter, but a great teacher. It is not his business to depict the world as it is, but as it ought to be. H. L. Mencken
That is what the title of artist means: one who perceives more than his fellows, and who records more than he has seen. Edward Craig
A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament. Its beauty comes from the fact that the author is what he is. It has nothing to do with the fact that other people want what they want. Indeed, the moment that an artist takes notice of what other people want, and tries to supply the demand, he ceases to be an artist and becomes a dull or an amusing craftsman, an honest or a dishonest tradesman. Oscar Wilde
We are all artists in one form or another. Whether it is at work or home, the way we perform those ordinary everyday tasks is a product of our individual styles. True art is not that which is bought and sold. It is that which reflects our lives, our dreams, our heart.
You are an artist.
The world is waiting for your touch.

Hope for the heart, the soul, for mankind
If it were not for hope, the heart would break. John Ray
Hope encourages men to endure and atempt everything. In depriving them of it or in making it too distant, you deprive them of their very soul. Maurice de Saxe
When hope is hungry, everything feeds it. Mignon McLaughlin
Hope unbelieved is always considered nonsense. But hope believed is history in the process of being changed. Jim Wallis
Keep hope alive. Jesse Jackson
The hope of the world lies in what one demands, no of others, but of oneself. James Baldwin
At times, we are all called upon to push forward through the pains and troubles of the heart, the soul, and the body. Oftentimes, we cannot see the end. Frequently, we cannot even see the path. Yet we must push forward into the uncertainty of tomorrow's world or we will surely drown in the troubles of today's.
It is hope that gives us the strength to carry on.
And we do.
Each and every one of us.
Each and every day.

Praise and Criticism in Live, Love and Relationships,
I praise loudly. I blame softly. Catherine II
Sandwich every bit of criticism between two heavy layers of praise. Mary Kay Ash
We are all motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is, the more he is inspired by glory. Cicero
The greatest efforts of the race have always been traceable to the love of praise, as the greatest catastrophes to the love of pleasure. John Ruskin
If each of us were to confess his most secret desire, the one that inspires all his plans, all his actions, he would say: "I want to be praised." E. M. Cioran

If you want to make a friend, very often, you must do nothing more than offer praise, honestly and openly. The same is true of an enemy. You can create them by your criticisms faster than by your actions.

Change in Life, Friends, Jobs, Love
Always! That is the dreadful word. . . . It is a meaningless word too. Oscar Wilde
There are no permanent chan ges because change itself is permanent. Ralph L. Woods
Impermanence is the law of the universe. Carlene Hatcher Polite
To remain young, one must change. Alexander Chase
I realized that if what we call human nature can be changed, then absolutely anything is possible. And from that moment, my life changed. Shirley MacLaine
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Reinhold Niebuhr
Your life, and all that it encompasses, is yours to do as you wish. If you want more, or different, or better, it is you who must provide the change to accomplish or acquire what you want.

Enthusiasm for Life, Love, and Living
To sing is to love and affirm, to fly and soar, to coast into the hearts of the people who listen, to tell them that life is to live, that love is there, that nothing is a promise, but that beauty exists and must be hunted for and found. Joan Baez
Energy is equal to desire and purpose. Sheryl Adams
What hunger is in relation to food, zest is in relation to life. Bertrand Russell
When his enthusiasm goes, he's through as a player. Pete Rose
Knowledge is power, but enthusiasm pulls the switch. Ivern Ball
The great composer does not set to work because he is inspired, but becomes inspired because he is working. Beethoven, Wagner, Bach, and Mozart settled down day after day to the job in hand with as much regularity as an accountant settles down each day to his figures. They didn't waste time waiting for inspiration. Ernest Newman
You have a choice in this world. You can accept your life as it is, or you can work hard to turn it into the life that you want. The choice is yours. Do not fool yourself. Although all of your wishes may not come to pass, it is not true that life is holding you down. If you want it, you must work. The work starts today. Rouse yourself. Do not let today pass.

Using Time, Wasting Time, and LIfe
I wish I could stand on a busy corner, hat in hand, and beg people to throw me all their wasted hours. Bernard Berenson
You may ask me for anything you like, except time. Napoleon Bonaparte
Curse ruthless time! Curse our mortality! How cruelly short is the allotted span for all we must cram into it. Sir Winston Churchill
Make use of time. Let not advantage slip. William Shakespeare
No one can confidently say that he will still be living tomorrow. Euripides
Seize the hour. Sophocles
He's (Yogi Berra) one of those Christmas Eve guys. There ar people like that. . . . Evey day in their lives is Christmas Eve. Joe Garagiola
There is only so much time in your life. One day you will follow all who came before you and leave this earth. Use your time wisely. If you work at it, you may be lucky enough to live your life as Yogi Berra did. Joe Garagiola was right. Yogi Berra lived every day happy, smiling, full of joy. To him, it was always Christmas Eve.

A New Year with New Hope -- Quotes about the Future
It's a brand-new year, and we can turn it into a brand-new world. No matter your situation, there is always hope. As long as we have a future, hope will not abandon us.
Here are quotations about facing the future, starting again, looking ahead at the problems, opportunities and blessings that await us.
I have been nothing ... but there is tomorrow. Louis L'Amour
It is not the cares of today, but the cares of tomorrow, that weigh a man down. For the needs of today we have corresponding strength given. For the morrow we are told to tust. It is not ours yet. George MacDonald
When I look at the future, it's so bright, it burns my eyes. Ophrah Winfrey
The bridges you cross before you come to them are over rivers that aren't there. Gene Brown
My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there. Charles F. Kettering
...
As to my future, I will be changing the format of the blog slightly. There will be less entries consisting of just one quote. Most will have multiple quotations. It will probably be similar to this one.
