Mindfulness meditation doesn't change life. Life remains as fragile and unpredictable as ever. Meditation changes the heart's capacity to accept life as it is. It teaches the heart to be more accommodating, not by beating it into submission, but by m...
This leather chair belongs to me. I would let you sit in it, but you can’t sit in an idea.
My experience is that God will meet us anywhere. Grieving badly and under the covers? He's there. Sitting at the cemetery, wishing it were you? You're not alone. Sitting on your child's bedroom floor still in your nightgown in the middle of the after...
I walked down the hall and saw that [she] was sitting on the floor next to a chair. This is always a bad sign. It's a slippery slope, and it's best just to sit in chairs, to eat when hungry, to sleep and rise and work. But we have all been there. Cha...
I didn't like Dali: now, like you, I do. Like you, I began to drink my Coke with a pinch of salt . Like you, I stopped bothering about ironed clothes. Like you, I sit with a dictionary while reading the papers. Like you, I sit on the compound wall af...
I think one of the problems [with raising intelligent children] is compulsory schooling...and that children are sitting there and they are taught and told what to believe. They are passive from the very beginning, and one must be very, very aggressiv...
When you're a chef, you graze. You never get a chance to sit down and eat. They don't actually sit down and eat before you cook. So when I finish work, the first thing I'll do, and especially when I'm in New York, I'll go for a run. And I'll run 10 o...
Captain Renault: [after Rick pulls a gun on him] Have you lost your mind? Rick: I have. Sit down! Captain Renault: Put that gun down! Rick: I don't want to shoot you, but I will if you take one more step! Captain Renault: [With amusement] Under the c...
Col. Hans Landa: Tell me, Aldo, if I were sitting where you're sitting, would you show me mercy? Lt. Aldo Raine: Nope. Col. Hans Landa: What's that English saying about shoes and feet? Lt. Aldo Raine: 'Looks like the shoe's on the other foot.' Yeah, ...
Professor Henry Jones: I find, that if I just sit down to think... [sits in chair, which tilts backward and opens up a hidden staircase] Indiana Jones: [falling down hidden staircase] Daaaaad! Professor Henry Jones: [resetting chair legs] The solutio...
[L.D. Newsome goes to turn the television back on] Jack Twist: You sit down, you ol' son of a bitch! [L.D. stops in his tracks] Jack Twist: This is my house! This is my child! And you are my guest! Now sit the hell down before I knock your ignorant a...
My grandmother used to cook for eight every day - sitting down lunches and dinner, the way you do it in Italy, you sit down. And when my parents could afford their own place, I went with them but still my mother used to work but used to come back fro...
For his lunch break, Alex decided to sit outside for a smoke. There was no break room to speak of, just a backdoor that led to a neglected parking lot and an old payphone. There was an upturned crate by the door used to hold the door open or to sit o...
The world is what it is.
My father was the first to see through the schemes of the white man.
I will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.
I did not want my people killed. I did not want bloodshed.
From where the sun now stands I will fight no more.
My people are few. They resemble the scattering trees of a storm-swept plain.
