| deaff8c | Now, as they were all looking at the new moth, she, too, went to look at it. It was of a creamy yellow color, like the yellow of the lemon called Buddha's Hand, and it had long black antennae. These quivered as it felt itself impaled. The wide wings fluttered and dark spots upon them showed green and gold for a moment. Then the moth was still. "How quickly they die!" Ch'iuming said suddenly." | Pearl S. Buck | ||
| 3cab9d6 | At the southwest corner Malvern joined its fields to that of his nearest neighbor, John MacBain. Pierce held his horse just short of the border and looked across a meadow. Part of the MacBain house had been burned down. He had heard of it, but he had not seen it. Now it was plain. The east wing was grey and gaunt, a skeleton attached to the main house. Strange how crippled the house looked--like a man with his right arm withered! No, he was.. | Pearl S. Buck | ||
| 55ddc12 | The children are waiting for us," she said. Those were her words, but what she really said was that I must live and begin now to live. Death must not interrupt life. There were others waiting for us." | Pearl S. Buck | ||

| e44ed80 | So Wang Lung sat, and so his age came on him day by day and year by year, and he slept fitfully in the sun as his father had done, and he said to himself that his life was done and he was satisfied with it. | Pearl S. Buck | ||
| 65db20f | I am entirely happy except that I feel the need of more knowledge of some sort. What sort I do not know myself." "Perhaps it is not so much knowledge as more understanding of that which you already know," | Pearl S. Buck | ||
| 5c4226b | You are an artist," she said. "But then all scientists are artists, my father used to say. You think like an artist, at any rate, and I can see that you want what you create to be a work of art." | Pearl S. Buck | ||
| 809b40f | Books, for example--she had thought of books as diversion and amusement. Now she knew they were communication between minds, her own and others, living and dead. Such communication was the source of learning and she had a thirst for learning, | Pearl S. Buck | ||

| ab24c54 | But I am fearful of it because I hear she is learned in the Four Books, and learning has never accompanied beauty in women. | Pearl S. Buck | ||
| 7aebd65 | I am never better pleased than when I know a book of mine can be bought for fifty cents or, better still, for twenty-five. No people can be educated or even cultivated until books are cheap enough for everybody to buy. | Pearl S. Buck | ||
| 087e9d4 | When the rich are too rich there are ways, and when the poor are too poor there are ways. Last winter we sold two girls and endured, and this winter, if this one my woman bears is a girl, we will sell again. One slave I have kept--the first. The others it is better to sell than to kill, although there are those who prefer to kill them before they draw breath. This is one of the ways when the poor are too poor. When the rich are too rich the.. | Pearl S. Buck | ||
| 6c34bef | Americans are citizens from the moment they are born, and not when they become twenty-one years of age. By then, if they have not performed the acts of a citizen in a democracy, it is too late. They remain irresponsible and therefore immature. From the first grade on, the child should be taught his duties as a citizen, and given his voice in municipal matters and then in state and nation. | Pearl S. Buck | ||
| 30d3472 | Wang Lung, seeing them, was fit to burst with pride at this procession of his goodly sons, who were to continue after him the life of his body; | Pearl S. Buck | ||
| c66f3dd | Wang Lung sat smoking, thinking of the silver as it had lain upon the table. It had come out of the earth, this silver, out of his earth that he ploughed and turned and spent himself upon. He took his life from this earth; drop by drop by his sweat he wrung food from it and from the food, silver. Each time before this that he had taken the silver out to give to anyone, it had been like taking a piece of his life and giving it to someone car.. | Pearl S. Buck | ||

| 7d95d77 | We are human beings, not human doings. | Rick Warren | ||
| 99c965f | Knowing your purpose motivates your life. Purpose always produces passion. Nothing energizes like a clear purpose. On the other hand, passion dissipates when you lack a purpose. Just getting out of bed becomes a major chore. It is usually meaningless work, not overwork, that wears us down, saps our strength, and robs our joy. | Rick Warren | ||

| c10fe9e | Whose opinion matters most to you? Whoever that person is, is your god. When you value anyone's opinions more than God's, you give that person power and authority that belongs only to God. That creates all kinds of insecurity within you. On the other hand, when God's approval matters the most to you, it sets you free from insecurity, because he will never reject you. | Rick Warren | ||
| ef4c808 | It's encouraging to know that all of God's closest friends -- Moses, David, Abraham, Job, and others -- had bouts with doubt. But instead of masking their misgivings with pious cliches, they candidly voiced them openly and publicly. Expressing doubt is sometimes the first step toward the next level of intimacy with God. | Rick Warren | ||

| 16f3df4 | Gratitude asks, "Why me? Why do I get all that I have?" David modeled this kind of gratitude when he prayed, "Who am I, O Sovereign LORD, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?"15 Years later, his son would write, "It is better to be satisfied with what you have than to be always wanting something else." | Rick Warren | ||

He gave us eyes to perceive color and then filled the world with a rainbow of shades. He gave us sensitive ears and then filled the world with rhythms and music. Your capacity for enjoyment is evidence of God's love for you. He could have made the world tasteless, colorless, and silent.
