World
(page 9)
Our dreams are a second life. I have never been able to penetrate without a shudder those ivory or horned gates which separate us from the invisible world.
Everything I have in this world, I owe to the sport of boxing, and I won't ever forget that.
All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
I went to my son's graduation this weekend, and I heard a great quote I've never heard before from Albert Einstein. It was that the greatest danger to the world is not the bad people but it's the good people who don't speak out.
God wants us to know that life is a series of beginnings, not endings. Just as graduations are not terminations, but commencements. Creation is an ongoing process, and when we create a perfect world where love and compassion are shared by all, suffering will cease.
People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
The more often we see the things around us — even the beautiful and wonderful things — the more they become invisible to us. That is why we often take for granted the beauty of this world: the flowers, the trees, the birds, the clouds — even those we love. Because we see things so often, we see them less and less.
I have the most beautiful daughter in the world and I'm grateful for her.
There are certain wicked people in the world that you can't deal with except by force.
There's really no way to be perfect. Perfectionism is a silly trait to have, so in a lot of ways that inspired the world of 'Divergent', in which everyone is striving toward that ideal and falling short of it.
I'd sometimes go to Paris by myself — it was an easy two-hour train ride — to get a break from the everyday grind, to walk around a big city, ride a subway, feel the energy of a world capital.
The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.
Technology is the knack of so arranging the world that we don't have to experience it.
Conservatives divide the world in terms of good and evil while liberals do it in terms of the rich and poor.
I pray to God I get inside a girl's head one day and see what in the WORLD they are thinking.
Our world is drowning in a sea of self-centeredness. You can make yourself quite unique right away by leaving this ocean of selfishness and choosing to be curious about other people.
In the realm of ideas everything depends on enthusiasm. In the real world all rests on perseverance.
Curiosity is the best motive for writing: curiosity about the world at large, or about oneself.
I believe that God put us in this jolly world to be happy and enjoy life.
Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.
