  • The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance...logic can be happily tossed out the window.
        Stephen King   Best?

        Horace Walpole   Best?
  • ...that people often say about Him: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God." That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic--on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg--or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.
        C. S. Lewis   Best?

  • The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.
        Cornelius Tacitus   Best?
  • No man is truly great, who is great only in his life-time. The test of greatness is the page of history.
        William Hazlitt   Best?
  • Strong am I with the force.
        Yoda   Best?
  • If you ask me what I came into this world to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud.
        Emile Zola   Best?
  • You can choose your behavior, the world chooses your consequences.
        Pia Melody   Best?
  • You will make all kinds of mistakes but as long as you are generous and true and fierce you cannot hurt the world, or even seriously distress her.
        Franklin D. Roosevelt   Best?
  • There is only one thing that I dread: not to be worthy of my sufferings.
        Fyodor Dostoevski   Best?
  • The world changes, and all that once was strong now proves unsure.
        J. R .R. Tolkien   Best?

        Benjamin Franklin   Best?
  • Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolutions.
        Kahlil Gibran   Best?
