Who would complain if God allowed one hour of suffering in an entire lifetime of comfort? Why complain about a lifetime that includes suffering when that lifetime is a mere hour of eternity?

Philip Yancey

In the darkest hour through which a human soul can pass, whatever else is doubtful, this at least is certain. If there be no God and no future state, yet even then it is better to be generous than selfish, better to be chaste than licentious, better to be true than false, better to be brave than to be a coward.

Frederick William Robertson

Reincarnation is the journey of hope because in each lifetime we move forward to place a better than our last lifetime, a place within ourselves.

Frederick Lenz

Every recreant who proved his timidity in the hour of danger, was afterwards boldest in words and tongue.

Tacitus

A pretty girl is better than a plain one. A leg is better than an arm. A bedroom is better than a living room. An arrival is better that a departure. A birth is better than a death. A chase is better than a chat. A dog is better than a landscape. A kitten is better than a dog. A baby is better than a kitten. A kiss is better than a baby. A pratfall is better than anything.

Preston Sturges

If I can give you any advice, it's this: every hour that you spend sat on the couch doing nothing, put it to good use, because when you have kids, an hour is like a lifetime.

Noel Gallagher

A holiday cocktail party is where some stranger will learn more about you in an hour than your spouse has learned in a lifetime.

Robert Breault

If we practice stepping into the unknown, moment by moment, hour by hour, millions of times, then death is just the next step into the unknown. It loses its terror.

Jan Chozen Bays

There is no good terror and bad terror. Terror is terror. There's not terror that you can accept and terror that you cannot accept. Terror is terror. Murder is murder.

Ariel Sharon

You are no different in this lifetime than you were in your last lifetime. This lifetime is simply a continuation of your last lifetime.

Frederick Lenz

Better to die once and for all, than live in continual terror.

Aesop

There is a war on terror that must be fought. Nobody's immune... And so rather than finding fault with what Spain has done by being aggressive in the war on terror, this should redouble everyone's efforts to go after terrorist organizations of any kind... Terror has to be brought to an end.
