Quotes
[edit]I'm a Christian by choice. My family didn't—frankly, they weren't folks who went to church every week. And my mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew, but she didn't raise me in the church. So I came to my Christian faith later in life, and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead—being my brothers' and sisters' keeper, treating others as they would treat me. I think also understanding that Jesus Christ dying for my sins spoke to the humility we all have to have as human beings, that we're sinful and we're flawed and we make mistakes, and that we achieve salvation through the grace of God. But what we can do, as flawed as we are, is still see God in other people and do our best to help them find their own grace. That's what I strive to do. That's what I pray to do every day. I think my public service is part of that effort to express my Christian faith.
President Barack Obama, September 27, 2010 (from Public image of Barack Obama)
The Church is a family expecting guests.
We're not going to agree on everything, but we can disagree without being disagreeable.
If you feed an appetite, it grows. Satisfying an appetite does not diminish it: It expands it. To diminish an appetite, you have to starve it.
Direction, not intention, determines your destination.
In our minds, rich is always the other person, the other family. Rich is having more than you currently have. If that is the case, you can be rich and not feel it. You can be rich and not know it.
I know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead, then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denting it. Every one was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. They would not have endured that if it weren't true. Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the world - and they couldn't keep a lie for three weeks. You're telling me 12 apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible.
Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.
If you wish to move mountains tomorrow, you must start by lifting stones today.
Of all the stratagems, to know when to quit is the best.
What comes with ease goes with ease.
Have you learned the lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you? Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you, and disputed passage with you?"
Quotes of wisdom
[edit]He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
Money, if you use it, comes to an end; learning, if you use it, increases.
You always learn a lot more when you lose than when you win.
Quotes on and about friendship
[edit]It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
William Blake, around 1827
In the end there doesn't have to be anyone who understands you. There just has to be someone who wants to.
Unknown
Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow.
If a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.
Edgar Watson Howe around 1937
One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.
George Santayana, around 1952
Quotes on and about business
[edit]Live together like brothers and do business like strangers.

How to write good
[edit]My several years in the word game have learnt me several rules:
1. Avoid Alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat.)
4. Employ the vernacular.
5. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
6. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
7. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
8. Contractions aren't necessary.
9. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
10. One should never generalize.
11. Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."
12. Comparisons are as bad as cliches.
13. Don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.
14. Profanity sucks.
15. Be more or less specific.
16. Understatement is always best.
17. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
18. One word sentences? Eliminate.
19. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
20. The passive voice is to be avoided.
21. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
22. Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
23. Who needs rhetorical questions?— Frank L. Visco, Writer's Digest (June 1986)
