I believe we all come across several quotes and phrases which if shared may increase our knowledge and appreciation for the people who wrote them in the first place . I'm writing a few I hope all members here will join in and add more to this

1."The only abnormality is the incapability to love."-Anais Nin

2."The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort , but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." -Martin Luther King.

3."They never fail who die in a great cause"-Lord Byron.

Muneeza, I will add more quotes, but the one which is coming in my mind at this time is:

Faith makes all things possible.
Love makes them easy.

There is one quote which I used for you, but did not give reference, Here it is:

Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.-- Leo Buscaglia

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
Helen Keller

Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom.
Thomas Jefferson

The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.
Thomas Jefferson

"Infatuation is when you think he's as gorgeous as Robert Redford, as pure as Solzhenistsyn, as funny as Woody Allen ,as athletic as Jimmy Connors and as smart as Albert Einstein. Love is when you realize that he's as gorgeous as Woody Allen , as smart as Jimmy Connors ,as funny as Solzhenitsyn ,as athletic as Albert Einstein and nothing like Robert Redford in any category- but you'll take him any way"- Judith Viorst.

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.
And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference
-- Elie Wiesel
