In talking, shyness and timidity distort the very meaning of my words. I don’t pretend to know anybody well. People are like shadows to me and I am like a shadow. Gwen John Read Quote
When people think about ‘thinking,’ they often think ‘academia;’ they think ‘threat.’ They think ‘coldness.’ I want to reverse all those images and say, ‘No, the brain God gave you is intended to throw fuel on the fire of your affections for God. It’s really good at it if you let it.’ John Piper Read Quote
I’m not going to say something I shouldn’t. In that way, I was probably the perfect guy to play in New England. Logan Mankins Read Quote

One of my favorite courses to teach is when we go to the Air Force. We’ve done a few at Air Force bases. What’s great about that is that it’s a one-week course. It’s five days and we work with them for about eight hours a day. We’re not only teaching them self-defense, but we’re also teaching them how to teach it on base to others. Eve Torres Read Quote
For those who are able to work, work has to be seen as the best route out of poverty. For work is not just about more money – it is transformative. It’s about taking responsibility for yourself and your family. Iain Duncan Smith Read Quote
For my senior prom, my father finally said I could go – as long as I was home by 9 P.M.! That was around the time that most people were heading out. When I was little I was so mad at them all the time. ‘Why can’t I do this?’ ‘Why are there so many rules?’ But looking back now, my parents gave me the foundation to have so many choices in life. Amy Chua Read Quote
I will never fall prey to celebrity because I am too busy. I have other things to do than look at myself in the mirror. Philippe Petit Read Quote
