| 51c38fe | Nonsense. Islam is unable to live at peace with anyone. We Arabs are the worst. We can't live with the world, and even more terrible, we can't live with each other. In the end it will not be Arab against Jews but Arab against Arab. One day our oil will be gone, along with our ability to blackmail. We have contributed nothing to human betterment in centuries, unless you consider the assassin and the terrorist as human gifts. The world will t.. | Leon Uris | ||

| 22d76e4 | Almost everything that Jesus taught, all His ideas, had been set down before in the Old Testament. Then came the largest riddle of all. If Jesus were to return to the earth she was certain He would go to a synagogue rather than a church. Why could people worship Jesus and hate His people? | Leon Uris | ||
| e92d769 | If you had ordered British troops to drive children and old people into gas chambers, none of whom had done anything wrong except they were the children of their parents, can you imagine British troops doing anything but mutiny against such orders?

| fa95513 | The Nazis took bullies and bums and made them heroes. In exchange, the bums gave absolute obedience. There was no qualm or remorse or inner conflicts of conscience when Schreiker was asked to destroy a synagogue or murder | Leon Uris | ||
| ab4b3a9 | It didn't work. He still had wool in his teeth. I couldn't make love to him. He had bone fragments and wool in his incisors, you know?" "Yeah, sheep remnants would be a major mood killer," Trinity agreed," | Stephanie Rowe | ||

| 1621de1 | My name is Samaranth," said the great red beast, "and all those you see around you declined my invitation, opting instead to help themselves to the treasure. So, Sons of Adam, choose. Will you drink with me, or do you want to plunder, and die?" "Are you serious?" said Jack. "Tea or death? Of course we'll take the tea." The others all nodded in enthusiastic agreement. "What kind of fool would choose death?" "Bet they wuz Cambridge scowlers, .. | James A. Owen | ||
| d9ef536 | There are two ways to turn devils into angels: First, acknowledge things about them that you genuinely appreciate. Uncle Morty took you to the beach when you were a kid. Your mom still sends you money on your birthday. Your ex-wife is a good mother to your children. There must be something you sincerely appreciate about this person. Shift your attention from the mean and nasty things they have said or done to the kind and helpful things the.. | Alan Cohen | ||

| 04772ed | For he is not poor who has little; only he that desires much ... and true security lies not in the things one has but in the things one can do without. | Og Mandino | ||
| d2826ae | I would rather try to succeed and fail than try to do nothing and succeed. | Og Mandino | ||
| deb6ba7 | feelings ... moods and ... emotions will follow action. If you want to be enthusiastic ... act enthusiastically. Your net worth to the world is usually determined by what remains after your bad habits are subtracted from your good ones. | Og Mandino | ||

| 4bd0c5e | When we were given dominion over the world, we were also given dominion over ourselves. God is not our navigator. It was never His intention to chart a course for each of us and thus place us all under His bondage. Instead, He bestowed each of us with intellect and talent and vision to map our own way, to write our own Book of Life in any manner we choose. | Og Mandino | ||
| 15239fb | Very often we are our own worst enemy as we foolishly build stumbling blocks on the path that leads to success and happiness. | Og Mandino | ||

| f0469c0 | Failure no longer will be my payment for struggle. Just as nature made no provision for my body to tolerate pain neither has it made any provision for my life to suffer failure. Failure, like pain, is alien to my life. In the past I accepted it as I accepted pain. Now I reject it and I am prepared for wisdom and principles which will guide me out of the shadows into the sunlight of wealth, position, and happiness far beyond my most extravag.. | Og Mandino | ||

| 73bc404 | No one likes to admit it, but Hollywood is the only place you don't get locked up for being crazy. | D.W. Buffa | ||
| 4746bed | I will persist until I succeed. I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny. I will persist until I succeed. The prizes of life ar.. | Og Mandino | ||
| 681daaa | True wealth is of the heart, not of the purse. | Og Mandino | ||
| d33aafb | Success is not something that must be deserved or earned. It is more an inherent right--an inherent responsibility. The only qualification for success is that you be you, that you utilize whatever combination of talent you possess to the fullest extent possible. | Og Mandino | ||

| 0d7a809 | No, no, not at all. I'm a professional. If I can't take criticism, how will I ever grow? | Terri Blackstock | ||
| c1e9f7a | But living in fear is no kind of life. We have to trust God. That doesn't mean bad things won't happen. But we know He's in charge. | Terri Blackstock | ||
| 9b9eb05 | So could it be that good can come out of suffering? That God uses it to build things into us? Things we might need? | Terri Blackstock | ||

"Indolent? Subdued?" Shelby let out her smoke-edged laugh. "Oh,no, Senator.Patient, brooding. And arrogant enough to believe this confinement is nothing he can't work with." Turning, she leaned back against the barrier to consider Alan as she had considered the .. | Nora Roberts | ||
| 4ec8955 | It is not real estate, gold, stocks, hard work, or money that makes you rich; it is what you know about real estate, gold, stocks, hard work, and money that makes you rich. Ultimately, it is your financial intelligence that makes you rich. | Robert T. Kiyosaki | ||
