| 0f99e43 | I strongly encourage you to find a place to think and to discipline yourself to pause and use it, because it has the potential to change your life. It can help you to figure out what's really important and what isn't. As writer and Catholic priest Henri J. M. Nouwen observed, "When you are able to create a lonely place in the middle of your actions and concerns, your successes and failures slowly can lose some of their power over you." | John C. Maxwell | ||

| e625529 | God had to break Jacob to make him useful. In the breaking process, Jacob--the deceiving "heel-catcher"--became Israel, a "prince with God" who purposed to serve God rather than himself. Natural leaders often need to be broken. Consider your natural ability to lead a gift from God, but your character a gift to present back to God. Remember: Every time you stand up under the weight of adversity, you are being prepared, as Jacob was, to bette.. | John C. Maxwell | ||

| f9f3922 | Beloved, whatever we are gripping to bring us satisfaction is a lie--unless it is Christ. He is the Truth that sets us free. If you are holding anything in your craving for satisfaction right now, would you be willing to acknowledge it as a lie? Even if you feel you can't let go of it right this moment, would you lift it before Him--perhaps literally lifting your fisted hand as a symbol--and confess it as an idol? God does not condemn you. .. | Beth Moore | ||
| ed1c658 | Your Promised Land is the place where God's personalized promises over your life become a living reality rather than a theological theory. | Beth Moore | ||
| 4fa841b | If my Father says something about me, even if I cannot see it yet, I can rest assured it is so . . . and begin to put on that truth . . . and walk in it. I can no longer blame someone else for how I view myself. I cannot make the old excuse "that's just the way I am" because it is no longer "the way I am." I take back the stolen ground by simply being in relationship with my Father. His holy genes are now part of my inheritance from Him. I .. | Beth Moore | ||
| 7060006 | Charles Spurgeon's words: "You may conceal your infirmity, even from your dearest friend, but you will not conceal it from your worst enemy." | Beth Moore | ||
| 889d044 | We must remember we don't stand in victory because of our faith. We stand in victory because of our God. Faith in faith is pointless. Faith in a living, active God moves mountains. | Beth Moore | ||
| 574303a | When we're most exhausted, we're expending more energy fighting the enemy than we are seeking God's presence. More than you seek to win, seek Christ! More than you seek to defeat the enemy, seek his foe! More than you seek victory, seek the Victor! | Beth Moore | ||
| 6799f7d | Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,' says the Lord, who has compassion on you. | Beth Moore | ||
| 3585d68 | victory is not determined as much by what we've been delivered from as by what we've been delivered to. | Beth Moore | ||
| d7e2b5d | To love God more is never to love people less. It's to love people best. It's to relieve them of the responsibility of being your false Christ. It's to keep their sins against you from being unforgivable and your sins against them from being ignorable. It's to guard them from our mean-streaks and strong human tendencies to respond to disappointment with punishment. It's to keep the people close by from cutting their wrists on the razor-shar.. | Beth Moore | ||
| 5694560 | The giant step in the walk of faith is the one we take when we decide God no longer is a part of our lives. He is our life. | Beth Moore | ||

| 45a829c | My name is Pride. I am a cheater. I cheat you of your God-given destiny . . . because you demand your own way. I cheat you of contentment . . . because you "deserve better than this." I cheat you of knowledge . . . because you already know it all. I cheat you of healing . . . because you're too full of me to forgive. I cheat you of holiness . . . because you refuse to admit when you're wrong. I cheat you of vision . . . because you'd rather.. | Beth Moore | ||
| 3e64903 | We have no idea how busy God's hands are even when His mouth seems closed. Where God is concerned, silence never equals slumber. | Beth Moore | ||
| 71d0877 | God has so much for you, Dear One. And, yes, seasons will come when He requires so much from you that you feel like you can't bear it. You do have a choice. You don't have to do it His way. You can choose bitterness, resentment, carnality, or mediocrity. Or you can go for it. With everything you've got. You can experience the unmatched exhilaration of partnering in divine triumph. The stakes are high. The cost is steep. But I'll promise you.. | Beth Moore | ||

| ce7007a | To feel no conviction of sin for a length of time is a serious sign that the Holy Spirit may not reside in us. We can quench the Spirit, but we cannot disable Him. | Beth Moore | ||

| 91c3fab | so I looked at this kid from West Texas, feelin' all cut up an' betrayed 'cause he suddenly realized the Land of the Free been fuckin' him in the ass all his life--an' I told myself, 'Shit, so that's what it's like to be the white boy. Any nigga you ask can tell you that's how America works. | Garth Ennis | ||
| c9541ae | Billy, I can't even pick my nose without using a finger." Sometimes my mouth should stop and consult my brain before it says anything. Billy got this wide-eyed look of admiration that belonged on a nine-year-old boy. It said, Wow, that was really gross, and, more important, How come I didn't think of it? My mouth consulted my brain this time, and I asked, "I don't suppose you could just forget I said that?" "No," Billy said, in a tone tha.. | C.E. Murphy | ||

| d2a0e28 | we lay there in the dark for a split second before the beast galumphed toward us. Meabh, always quick with a sword, sprang to her feet and charged the dragon head-on while I mostly just wondered who or what I'd offended in a past life that this one was peopled by dragons. Except I didn't have any past lives, so apparently I'd offended somebody in life and was facing instant karma. That didn't really improve anything, in my ever so humble .. | karma past-lives | C.E.

| 0f806b6 | Abu, torturing guys and breaking them down is not something I look forward to, although your case is a little different. I think you're such a despicable fuck that I might actually enjoy our little session. (Mitch Rapp to Abu Haggani) | Vince Flynn | ||
| 7ea0a8f | I discovered ... that a novel has nothing to do with words in the first instance. Writing a novel is a cosmological matter, like the story told by Genesis (we all have to choose our role models, as Woody Allen puts it). | writing creation | Umberto Eco | |
| 5871e1c | There are magic moments, involving great physical fatigue and intense motor excitement, that produce visions of people known in the past ("en me retracant ces details, j'en suis a me demander s'ils sont reels, ou bien si je les ai reves"). As I learned later from the delightful little book of the Abbe de Bucquoy, there are also visions of books as yet unwritten." | magic writing imagination dreams visions | Umberto Eco | |
| 6406614 | I didn't know how to define it -- hermetic skepticism? liturgical cynicism? -- this higher disbelief that led him to acknowledge the dignity of all the superstitions he scorned. | Umberto Eco | ||
| 4d92cca | E nevoie de un dusman ca sa-i dai poporului o speranta. Cineva a spus ca patriotismul e ultimul refugiu al canaliilor: cine nu are principii morale se infasoara de obicei intr-un steag, iar bastarzii fac intotdeauna apel la puritatea stirpei lor. Identitatea nationala este ultima resursa a dezmostenitilor. Or, simtul identitatii se intemeiaza pe ura, ura impotriva celui ce nu-i identic. Trebuie sa cultivi ura ca patos cetatenesc. Dusmanul e.. | national-identity ideology | Umberto Eco | |

| 3e2a7c0 | And if it is possible that creatures live underwater, could not creatures also live under the earth, nations of salamanders capable of arriving, through their tunnels, at the central fire that animates the planet? | Umberto Eco | ||
| 752b989 | If you want to win, you need to know just one thing and not to waste your time on anything else: the pleasures of erudition are reserved for losers. The more a person knows, the more things have gone wrong. | Umberto Eco | ||
| 93eb838 | There must be a connection between the lust for power and impotentia coeundi. I liked Marx, I was sure that he and his Jenny had made love merrily. You can feel it in the easy pace of his prose and in his humor. On the other hand, I remember remarking one day in the corridors of the university that if you screwed Krupskaya all the time, you'd end up writing a lousy book like Materialism and Empiriocriticism. | umberto-eco lenin | Umberto Eco | |
