I think people want very much to simplify their lives enough so that they can control the things that make it possible to sleep at night.
Twyla Tharp

The quality of the Lord's church on earth, cannot be seen by any man, so long as he lives in the world, still less how the church in process of time has turned aside from good to evil.
Emanuel Swedenborg

I am well aware that many will say that no one can possibly speak with spirits and angels so long as he lives in the body; and many will say that it is all fancy, others that I relate such things in order to gain credence, and others will make other objections.
Emanuel Swedenborg

I believe people are in our lives for a reason. We're here to learn from each other.
Gillian Anderson

If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life.
Tom Stoppard

We must alter our lives in order to alter our hearts, for it is impossible to live one way and pray another.
William Law

Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force.
Irving Berlin

Men are limited by the knowledge of their minds, the worth of their characters and the principles upon which they are building their lives.
Edwin Louis Cole

Although the circumstances of our lives may seem very disengaged, with me standing here as the First Lady of the United States of America and you just getting through school, I want you to know we have very much in common. For nothing in my life ever would have predicted that I would standing here as the first African-American First Lady.
Michelle Obama

I am an example of what is possible when girls from the very beginning of their lives are loved and nurtured by people around them. I was surrounded by extraordinary women in my life who taught me about quiet strength and dignity.
Michelle Obama

In order to live man must believe in that for which he lives.
Huston Smith

Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them.
Paul Gauguin

Our lives are not in the lap of the gods, but in the lap of our cooks.
Lin Yutang

Fame has also this great drawback, that if we pursue it, we must direct our lives so as to please the fancy of men.
Baruch Spinoza

He alone is free who lives with free consent under the entire guidance of reason.
Baruch Spinoza

I think the best thing I can do is to be a distraction. A husband lives and breathes his work all day long. If he comes home to more table thumping, how can the poor man ever relax?
Jackie Kennedy

I've seen the people who talk about their love lives in print invariably have doomed relationships with the person they're talking about.
John Cusack

One of the things about acting is it allows you to live other people's lives without having to pay the price.
Robert De Niro

I have absolutely no regret about my vote against this war. The same questions remain. The cost in human lives, the cost to our budget, probably 100 billion. We could have probably brought down that statue for a lot less.
Nancy Pelosi

We have so much room for improvement. Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory... of how we are taking responsibility.
Nancy Pelosi
