Envy is a sign of insecurity, yes; but so is longing to be envied.

Labeled fools to the world are geniuses to the cosmos.

To love without need or without expectation of restitution, that is how we ought to love.

If you’re capable of despising your own behavior, you might just love yourself.

Humility is, in a sense, admitting how egotistical you are.

Reality. Sometimes it comes through foreign eyes; because if you don’t know any better, you can’t see the worse. Or vice versa.

You are evidence of your mother’s strength, especially if you are a rebellious knucklehead and regardless she has always maintained her sanity.

Tolerance! The virtue that makes one bite his tongue so that he can tear out his hair.

Trustful people are the pure at heart, as they are moved by the zeal of their own trustworthiness.

Love begets wisdom, thus it is, as often misconceived, more than vain layers of tenderness; it is inherently rational and comprehensive of the problem within the problem: for instance, envy is one of the most...

I enjoy melancholic music and art. They take me to places I don’t normally get to go.

A steampunk nationBaby pollution rises up then the loving comes arraigning ’causeOur art’s official and only partially artificialAnd our heart’s in the middle of sharp hardened shards of metal butThere’s not where it settlesBecause it’s...

The only activity a cynic will find contagious is yawning, that is, with other people, at other people.

Perhaps a seemingly dull, boring person is not a person who lacks personality, but rather a person with so much personality most other things bore them.

I fall asleepCall it deep while all is well be-Cause my life seems like a freestyle mean-While asleep on the couch I dream it’s a written piece and nowThe symphony’s soundingShouting out to these feet...

If what you create seems to turn out much stranger than who you are as a person, it’s probably because your heart is talking.

When you aren’t satisfied with what has already been done, make something better. That is the greatest responsibility and the true freedom of creativity. The freedom is in that it doesn’t need to complain.

A man of God has many brothers. He is a wounded soldier – he is familiar with the pain one feels in his heart, as a close and loving brother, when a brother falls victim...

The man who sins but wants to purify it is no more a sinner than the man who doesn’t sin but wants to sin.

If you build the guts to do something, anything, then you better save enough to face the consequences.

The complete recipe for imagination is absolute boredom.

I would rather have strong enemies than a world of passive individualists. In a world of passive individualists nothing seems worth anything simply because nobody stands for anything. That world has no convictions, no victories,...

Every new generation believes its own period to be absolutely superior intellectually – greater than all past cultures yet equal among its modern cultures.

If Christ be a fraud, he was among the most peculiar yet brilliant of frauds in saying that only he was the way, the truth, and the life. This is the importance of grace –...

When we look for success, it should be for the sole purpose of boasting sincerely in Christ. There’s no other reason for it. Success is only worth it when the more intense it gets for...

Discernment is the son of good judgment and the father of self-control. When mixed with an already clear conscience, the ability to read the true motives of a critic keeps one’s conscience both clear and...

I do not care about happiness simply because I believe that joy is something worth fighting for.

There is a greater Christian faith than one which settles for the temporal happiness, and that is the augmentation of faith. The more faithful you become, the harder the obstacles get; but the harder the...

I claim neither liberalism nor conservatism – one tends to be airheaded while the other tends to be brickheaded.

I often find that people confuse inner peace with some sense of insensibility whenever something goes wrong. In such cases inner peace is a permit for destruction: The unyielding optimist will pretend that the forest...

It might come a time to not follow your passion, so to speak, although it must be prioritized. It may be the case that your passion will serve as the medic, your peace of mind,...

It’s fallacious reasoning for the atheist to hate all religion due to men who manipulate religion to fit their own agendas. They are counterparts, therefore, if Truth is true, partners in crime. To believers, the...

All individuals have moral deficiencies, and when introducing these to reality one not only strengthens himself but also the confidence of others in the human exigency for Christ due to a reflection throughout the body...

Lead’s erasing then vanishingBanished from whatever it is they’re drinking and it’s cleanedRunning from the pitcher as if it’s her fantasy

Oftentimes in reality, the genius is in the position of the antihero. Neither the good guys nor the bad guys really trust him because his truth is universal.

The greater ignorance towards a country is not ignoring what its politicians have to say, it is ignoring what the inmates in its prisons have to say.

Genius, throughout history, has been found difficult to classify because it varies in amount: It’s rare to find a genius in the context of the noun, but most people, if not all, have a bit...

Excuses will become self-refuting. No man who does not believe that Jesus is the perfect, sinless Son of God can, in his desperation and love for sin, reasonably use and misconstrue Jesus’ words that unless...

As time moves on the line will blur. It will no longer seem to be the simplicity of good versus evil, but good versus fools who think they are good.

To be truly positive in the eyes of some, you have to risk appearing negative in the eyes of others.

The thing about stereotyping is it’s usually just throwing rocks into a crowd hoping to hit somebody who deserves it.

Reality. It is sometimes brought through foreign eyes; because if you do not know any better, you cannot see the worse. And vice versa.

To be heroic is to be courageous enough to die for something; to be inspirational is to be crazy enough to live a little.

When we begin to reflect Christ, the Bible, when more understood as being centered around Christ, seems to be potentially every man’s biography regarding God’s promised experiences and truth for him – his individual, unique...

Whenever I think of something but can’t think of what it was I was thinking of, I can’t stop thinking until I think I’m thinking of it again. I think I think too much.

Wisdom is nothing more than confirmed imagination: just because one did not study for his exam does not mean that he should leave it blank.

The whole war between the atheist and the theist comes down to this: the atheist believes a ‘what’ created the universe; the theist believes a ‘who’ created the universe.

It is ignorance that is at times incomprehensible to the wise; for instance, he may not see ‘the positive person’ or ‘the negative person’ in such a black and white way as many people do....

There is a master way with words which is not learned but is instead developed: a deaf man develops exceptional vision, a blind man exceptional hearing, a silent man, when given a piece of paper…

The ones who constantly make us laugh are the hardest of friends to know – for comedians are the caricatures among us.
