Twenty nice thoughts

These are the thoughts which i,pressed me as soon as i had an eye on them...


"We picture love as heart-shaped because we do not know the shape of the soul."


"When something seems to be missing in your life, it usually turns out to be someone."


"I am not certain of the hereafter. Frankly, I'm not all that certain of the here."


"We all know some lovable person who will certainly get to heaven -- unless it requires being somewhere on time."


"Usually, wanting the best for someone is as far as you should get involved."


"We don't always get to where we want to go, but we always get to where we're going.


"It is hard to reason with a man who sees his personal self-interest as a branch of logic."


New on the best-seller list, "How to Raise Kids", Seventh Revision.


I always turn to the newspaper "Life Styles" section first, looking for goings-on under "Sedentary."


"In comparing religious belief to science, I try to remember that science is belief also."


"TV consists mostly of good-looking people and cartoon characters, the first interviewing the second."


"Truth has its advocates, but, these days, nonsense seems to have all the martyrs."


"You will not get compromise from those who advocate pure nonsense, for they have a considerable stake in its purity."


"There are many human relationships that would be improved by one more degree of separation."


"It is not just the skeptic who is incapable of faith but they who profess certainty."


"It is not unreasonable to have faith in that which is necessary for your happiness."


"Genius is a plodding intellect, incapable of dreaming up the obstacles that stop the rest of us."


"Ask me to die for what my country might be, but, please, do not ask me to die for what my country once was."


"You can find your answer in God, but it helps to be willing to rephrase the question."


"Inevitably we get bogged down in family responsibilities, our search for life's purpose sidetracked by finding it."

  1. K7,
    Since you left a comment on my site referring me to this page, I assume you don't mean to claim these quotes as your own. But I see no attribution. Perhaps you can amend your opening statement to say, "These are thoughts from Robert Brault... ." Thanks, anyway, for your interest.
