Particular Quotations
If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it. Dalai Lama I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition (Christianity) one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology. Thomas Jefferson One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular. Tony Robbins Let us not be too particular; it is better to have old secondhand diamonds than none at all.

Doesn't everyone look at himself in his own particular way? Deformations simply do not exist.
