A pipe is the fountain of contemplation, the source of pleasure, the companion of the wise; and the man who smokes, thinks like a philosopher and acts like a Samaritan.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton

One man thinks before he acts. Another man thinks after he acts. Each is of the opinon that the other thinks too much.

Susan Sontag

Like the Good Samaritan, may we not be ashamed of touching the wounds of those who suffer, but try to heal them with concrete acts of love.

Pope Francis

People turn their eyes and ears to him (the sage), and the sage cares for them like his own children.

Laozi

He thought as a sage, though he felt like a man.

James Beattie

There was never a man born so wise or good, but one or more companions came into the world with him, who delight in his faculty, and report it. I cannot see without awe, that no man thinks alone and no man acts alone, but the divine assessors who came up with him into life,--now under one disguise, now under another,--like a police in citizen's clothes, walk with him, step for step, through all kingdoms of time.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

A disciple is one who thinks, feels and acts like Jesus Christ. It is being conformed to the image of Christ as Romans 8:28-29 states-that God's No.1 purpose in our lives is to make us like Jesus.

Rick Warren

The sage acts by doing nothing.

Laozi

It's a weird partnership. For me and Patrick, if you've met him, we're not very much alike. But we bring such different tools to the table. He doesn't think like me. I don't think like him. He thinks like an editor. He thinks like a director. He thinks completely outside of the box when it comes to writing and so because of that he leads me down roads that I would've never gone down. And he sucks at grammar. So together we're perfect.

I think I'm obsessed with food. Maybe that's why I'm making the transition to organic products - they just feel yummy. I like vanilla scents. I like mint. I like sage. I like the idea of smelling blackberries every time I blink. It's so good.

Phillipa Soo

Write me a creature that thinks as well as a man or better than a man, but not like a man.

John W. Campbell

Justice goes across racial and economic barriers - like the good Samaritan.

John M. Perkins

Evangelism and the local church are inseparable. It's like the Good Samaritan seeking an inn for the one he rescued.

Reinhard Bonnke
