Truly, God works in mysterious ways. The wheels of His mercy and justice move quietly, but they do move.

Billy Graham

There are a few things that'll move people to pity, a few, but the trouble is, when they've been used several times, they no longer work.

Bertolt Brecht

Listening is an essential part of praying. Answers from the Lord come quietly-every so quietly. In fact, few hear his answers audibly with their ears. We must be listening carefully or we will never recognize them.

H. Burke Peterson

If I had to, I would ask first of all: why do things move in your work? It's the most simple, and also the most complicated, question. And I answer: things move because if they didn't move, they might move?.

Jean Tinguely

Sending grown-ups up the wall is one of the things adolescence is all about. A few years ago it was done with rock 'n' roll music. Now at least they can do it quietly with a home computer.

Russell Baker

I think of the past and the future as well as the present to determine where I am, and I move on while thinking of these things.

Tadao Ando

I saw in their eyes something I was to see over and over in every part of the nation- a burning desire to go, to move, to get under way, anyplace, away from any Here. They spoke quietly of how they wanted to go someday, to move about, free and unanchored, not toward something but away from something. I saw this look and heard this yearning everywhere in every states I visited. Nearly every American hungers to move.

John Steinbeck

It's important to refresh the way of thinking and doing things musically. You can get so stuck in what you've done in the past that you can't move on into the future.

Philip Bailey

The billionaires and their super PACs increasingly control the American political process. This is not democracy. This is not what brave Americans fought and died to defend. This is oligarchy. This is government of the few, by the few and for the few. We must overturn Citizen United and move to public funding of elections.

Bernie Sanders

Some things, like the orbits of the planets, can be calculated far into the future. But that's atypical. In most contexts, there is a limit. Even the most fine-grained computation can only forecast British weather a few days ahead. There are limits to what can ever be learned about the future, however powerful computers become.

Martin Rees

But we want peace, I would move all my people down this way. I could then keep them all quietly near camp.

Black Kettle

Live quietly in the moment and see the beauty of all before you. The future will take care of itself.

Paramahansa Yogananda

In government, things do not move too quick. That is why I am trying to introduce a new culture: so that things move more quickly.

Jacob Zuma

I think that our future has lost that capital F we used to spell it with. The science fiction future of my childhood has had a capital F - it was assumed to be an American Future because America was the future. The Future was assumed to be inherently heroic, and a lot of other things, as well.

William Gibson

Few things are more important to each individual's future success or to our nation's prosperity than education.

Mark Kennedy

Sometimes you just have to turn the page to realize there's more to your book of life than the page you're stuck on. Stop being afraid to move on. Close this chapter of hurt, and never re-read it. It's time to get what your life deserves, and move on from the things that don't deserve you. Don't try to fix what's been broken in your past, let your future create something better.

Trent Shelton
