A person who is able to be a living centre of peace in today's world and who is able to radiate that peace powerfully, ceaselessly, will be in a position to give needy mankind the benefit it lacks most and is in greatest need of.
I wonder if novels work for women because they give us a safe place to talk about our ish.
Judging your early artistic efforts is artist abuse. . . Remember that in order to recover as an artist, you must be willing to be a bad artist. Give yourself permission to be a beginner. By being willing to be a bad artist, you have a chance to be an artist, and perhaps, over time, a very good one
I'm just an actress. They try to give me as little information as possible.
Enjoy everything. Need nothing. Needing someone is the fastest way to kill a relationship. . The greatest gift you can give someone is the strength and the power not to need you, to need you for nothing.
Being in the moment is everything. So being in the moment for me is just letting the narrative play out, listening to the designers and giving them helpful feedback about what they're doing.
We are such docile creatures, normally, that it takes a virus to jolt us out of life's routine. A couple of days in a fever bed are, in a sense, health-giving; the change in body temperature, the change in pulse , and the change of scene have a restorative effect on the system equal to the hell they raise.
To give aid to every poor man is far beyond the reach and power of every man. Care of the poor is incumbent on society as a whole.
Being sent away to school was no different from my biological mother giving me away.
Instead of imposing your will on every situation. . . focus on including everyone else, and just that little adjustment of attitude gives you the space to understand where and who you are.
When I get home, I'm not the boss like I am at work - I slip into a more feminine role. I take everything off and put on my Stella McCartney silk robe. I'll put on a red lip or red nails, and it lifts my mood. Sexy underwear also gives you a spark.
[Winston Churchill] never spares himself in conversation. He gives himself so generously that hardly anyone else is permitted to give anything in his presence.
My hair dries straight naturally, so I'm always trying to find anything to give it volume or give it a little bit of bounce.
There's nothing I need from anyone except love and respect, and anyone who can't give me those two things has no place in my life.
The world asks, How much does he give? Christ asks why does he give?
A child gets a fever in the United States and it's high enough and sustainable enough, all of us can bring a child to an emergency room. Most Haitians never had that opportunity. They didn't have the emergency room to bring them to. Virtually every time your child has 102 fever, you wait for it to die and you have no clean water to give it.
I find it most intriguing to contemplate the fact that while men are considering what place to give Jesus Christ in history, He has already decided what place to give them in eternity.
That someone can want something out of another person who gives absolutely nothing in return astounds me.
So if God should place me in serious perplexity, must He not give me much guidance; in places of great difficulty, much grace; in circumstances of great pressure and trial, much strength? No fear that HIs resources will prove unequal to the emergency! And His resources are mine, for He is mine, and is with me and dwells in me.
We all have angels guiding us. . . They look after us. They heal us, touch us, comfort us with invisible warm hands. . . What will bring their help? Asking. Giving thanks.
