I fervently believe that people shouldn't stay in bad relationships just because of some artificial rom-com notion of true love being "forever." In fact, I think that the pressure of conforming to that framework ruins-literally RUINS-a lot of people's lives.

Lindy West

Communication is an offering. When you tell someone your truth, you must release your expectation of what the other person should do with it. They may thank you profusely, love you forever, argue with you, or ignore you. It doesn't matter. Of course we hope the gift will be received with appreciation and thanks. But if it isn't we must not dictate. We've done our part, and we must trust the universe to do the rest.

Alan Cohen

With Your great schemes, You ruin our happiness like a harvester ruins a mouse's nest: I hate You, God, I hate You as though You existed.

Graham Greene

According to the rules of comedy, your suffering will be funny after an undetermined length of time. Maybe not while you're having your gangrenous leg sawed off, watching your home burn down or learning how to be intimate with your cellmate, but, in the big scheme of things, soon.

Chuck Lorre

I wonder if we climb to heaven over the ruins of many cherished schemes.

Laurel Lea

The Socialists can scheme their schemes and the Liberals can dream their dreams, but we, at least, have work to do.

Hugh MacLennan

There is a theory that if you yearn sincerely enough for a Guru, you will find one. The universe will shift, destiny's molecules will get themselves organized and your path will soon intersect with the path of the master you need.

Elizabeth Gilbert

The assistance you need will be provided by the universe as soon as you convert your readiness to willingness.

Wayne Dyer

Many state governments have launched innovative steps such as Ladli Laxmi scheme of Madhya Pradesh, PDS reform scheme of Chattisgarh, computerization of land records in Karnataka, free computers to students passing 10th standard exams, pollution control efforts in Himachal, power sector reforms in Rajasthan and Mumbai - Pune Expressway in Maharashta. These excellent innovative schemes are examples of good governance.

Narendra Modi

The human's place in the universe will be set in the scheme of evolution, the product of our biological inheritance.

Walter Gilbert

The framework of the artist's ideas is clearly only that which he is forever seeking for universality, and must be far wider than the framework of the ideals of the patriot.

Sean O Faolain

You must make your own blunders, must cheerfully accept your own mistakes as part of the scheme of things.

Minnie Maddern Fiske

It’s hard to come up with a scheme to thwart some other scheme you don’t even know about.

Holly Black

Any schemes - such as 'think of symmetry laws', or 'put the information in mathematical form', or 'guess equations'- are known to everybody now, and they are all tried all the time. When you are stuck, the answer cannot be one of these, because you will have tried these right away...The next scheme, the new discovery, is going to be made in a completely different way.

Richard P. Feynman

The Old and New Testaments contain but one scheme of religion. Neither part of this scheme can be understood without the other.

Richard Cecil

When I go back to the Quran I see that the context of Revelation is creation in its entirety. The universe is a Revelation and this of course includes nature, plants and animals. In other words, what is coming from the Quran as rules and objectives are set within the larger scheme of the universe and nature as part of Creation.

Tariq Ramadan
