The sole remaining task for philosophy is the analysis of language.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Even if the disciples had believed in the resurrection of Jesus, it is doubtful they would have generated any following. So long as the body was interred in the tomb, a Christian movement founded on belief in the resurrection of the dead man would have been an impossible folly.

William Lane Craig

If the Resurrection is resurrection from the dead, all hope and freedom are in spite of death.

Paul Ricoeur

The sole purpose of business is service. The sole purpose of advertising is explaining the service which business renders.

Leo Burnett

Our veterans know the meaning of service better than anyone else and they aren't about to quit working when they come home. The best reward we can provide our vets for their service isn't a medal or a check; it's a livelihood and a means of supporting themselves and their families.

Mitt Romney

It is rather for us here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.

Abraham Lincoln

Man is born dead and he remains dead till he attains wisdom! Wisdom is the only resurrection man can obtain!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

I accept the resurrection of Easter Sunday not as an invention of the community of disciples, but as a historical event. If the resurrection of Jesus from the dead on that Easter Sunday were a public event which had been made known...not only to the 530 Jewish witnesses but to the entire population, all Jews would have become followers of Jesus.

The only rule I have is to quit while it’s still hot. Never write yourself out. Always quit when it’s going good. Then it’s easier to take it up again. If you exhaust yourself, then you’ll get into a dead spell and you’ll have trouble with it.

William Faulkner

It's the impossible become possible and yet remaining impossible.

Terence McKenna

Today we know with certainty that segregation is dead. The only question remaining is how costly will be the funeral.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

To seek out beauty in our work is to make a pilgrimage of our labors, to understand that the consummation of work lies not only in what we have done, but who we have become while accomplishing the task.

David Whyte

I am weary of a task which is done and I hope I shall not shrink when the aftermath ends. My only wish is to live peacefully out the remaining years - if years they be.

Winston Churchill

What kind of spiritual triumph it was I can neither write nor speak; it can only be compared with that where life is born in the midst of death, and is like the resurrection of the dead.
