“Things seen are mightier than things heard.”

Life is brief but love is LONG .

My life has crept so long on a broken wing Through cells of madness, haunts of horror and fear, That I come to be grateful at last for a little thing.

Men at most differ as Heaven and Earth, but women, worst and best, as Heaven and Hell.

The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.

Love is the only gold.

Ring out the grief that saps the mind, for those that were here we see no more.

Ah, when shall all men’s good Be each man’s rule, and universal peace Lie like a shaft of light across the land, And like a lane of beams athwart the sea, Thro’ all the circle of the golden year?

For love reflects the thing beloved.

Thou madest man, he knows not why, he thinks he was not made to die.

What the sunshine is to the flower, the Lord Jesus Christ is to my soul.

And the days darken round me, and the years, Among new men, strange faces, other minds.

Ours not to reason why, ours but to do and die.

It is clearly evident that most events of a widespread nature draw their causes from the enveloping heavens.

If I believe that I am right, I will take it to the end of the earth until I am proven right.

For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who disbelieve, no amount of proof is sufficient.

I admire that about the Republicans: The evidence does not faze them. They are not bothered at all by the facts.

To die for God is not a proof of faith in God. To die for an unknown and repulsive convict who is a victim of injustice, that is a proof of faith in God.

Most people have a hard time confronting their weaknesses in a really straightforward, evidence-based way. They also have problems speaking frankly to others. Some people love knowing about their weaknesses and mistakes and those of others because it helps them be so much better, while others can’t stand it.

Fear is often described as False Evidence Appearing Real.

I did not come into the world to prove anything. I came into the world to love everyone and everything.
