True sport is always a duel, a duel with nature, with one's own fear, with one's own fatigue, a duel in which the body and the mind are strengthened.

Yevgeny Yevtushenko

Jesus is apt to come, into the very midst of life at its most real and inescapable moments. Not in a blaze of unearthly light, not in the midst of a sermon, not in the throes of some kind of religious daydream, but...at supper time, or walking along a road...He never approached from on high, but always in the midst, in the midst of people, in the midst of real life and the questions that real life asks.

Frederick Buechner

Marriage is like life - it is a field of battle, not a bed of roses.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Marriage is a duet or duel.

Emile Augier

Contentment is not escape from the battle, but rather an abiding peace and confidence in the midst of the battle.

Warren W. Wiersbe

Warren W. Wiersbe

Panos Cosmatos

A duel, a duel, a duel. Is there anything more exciting, more romantic ... or more utterly moronic?

Julia Quinn

Marriage is a duel to the death which no man of honour should decline.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Every man at some point in his life is gonna lose a battle. He's gonna fight and he's gonna lose. But what makes him a man is that in the midst of that battle, he does not lose himself.

Eric Taylor

I battle with things like depression in my life, I battle with things like anxiety, I battle with things like attention deficit disorder, and I ignored them all.

Austin Aries

I reject any path which rejects life, but I can't help loving Sufism because it sounds so beautiful. It gives relief in the midst of battle.

Naguib Mahfouz

To show you, just to illustrate the inroads the homosexual marriage crowd has made, it is now common to hear on television and in the midst of debate the concept of "opposite-sex marriage."

Rush Limbaugh

There is no better way to die, than to die in the midst of a battle, fighting to the very end......like a man.

Enson Inoue

Each reaching and aspiration is an instinct with which all nature consists and cöoperates, and therefore it is not in vain. But alas! each relaxing and desperation is an instinct too. To be active, well, happy, implies courage. To be ready to fight in a duel or a battle implies desperation, or that you hold your life cheap.

Henry David Thoreau

All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest - never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principles of equal partnership.

Ann Landers
