When you realize the awesome power of words, you can change lives.
The joy of writing. The power of preserving. Revenge of a mortal hand.
Dream no small dreams. They have no power to stir the hearts of men.
The greatness of the man's power is the measure of his surrender.
Angels possess greater powers than do human beings.
I always feel like hard work leads the way, and from there, I leave it up to the powers that be.
I'm getting a lot of roles as women who are very powerful. I think that's a reflection of me as a person.
But when I do feel all the strength go out of me, and I fall to my knees beside the table and I think I cry, then, or at least I want to, and everything inside me screams for just one more kiss, one more word, one more glance, one more.
On the Path of the Wise there is probably no danger more deadly, no poison more pernicious, no seduction more subtle than Spiritual Pride; it strikes, being solar, at the very heart of the Aspirant; more, it is an inflation and exacerbation of the Eg...

As I see it, if you work more hours than somebody else, during those hours you learn more about your craft. That can make you more efficient, more able, even happier. Hard work is like compounded interest in the bank. The rewards build faster.
A little hatred goes a long, long way. It grows and grows. And it’s hungry. You keep feeding it more and more people, and the more it gets, the more it wants. It’s never satisfied. And pretty soon it squeezes all the love out of your heart and al...
The more we have of Jesus, the greater the love we have; the greater the love, the greater the sacrifice; the greater the sacrifice, the more we become like Jesus; the more we become like Jesus, the more successful our local churches become.
