The small stuff matters. The company that became the largest and most powerful in history isn't a military contractor or a car company. It isn't the result of savvy lobbyists in Washington, or the happenstance of controlling the supply of petroleum, ...
Keep the body - or keep the mind, and it will keep the body! - in a constructive manner. That is, think the pleasant things, even when the outlook may be the darkest. Do not allow the little things that are hindrances make for irritating, or to hurt ...
Indeed if they ever once saw the endless supply of eternal opportunities The Adversary offers them every temporal moment of day after day of their fuddled little lives, they would stagger at the sheer industry and prodigality of His efforts. Converse...

Roger: Hey, man, we can't carry all this shit. [Peter wheels a gardening cart up with all of their supplies] Roger: Oh, I see, we're just gonna wheel right by 'em, right? Peter: We're gonna try, brother. We ain't doin' this for the exercise, so we mi...

Yuri Orlov: I was an equal opportunity merchant of death. I supplied everyone but the Salvation Army. I sold Israeli-model Uzis to Muslims. I sold Communist-made bullets to Fascists... I even shipped cargo to Afghanistan when they were fighting my fe...
Kitty Fane: By the way, you might be happy to know that I am just as useless to the nuns as I am to you. Walter Fane: I shut off the town's only water supply today. Kitty Fane: What will you do? Walter Fane: I have no idea. Kitty Fane: Hmm. Then I su...
Princess Fiona: The sooner we get to Duloc, the better! Donkey: Oh, you gonna love it there, Princess, it's beautiful! Princess Fiona: And my groom-to-be Lord Farquaad, what's he like? Shrek: Well, let me put it this way, Princess: men of his stature...
