Dusty Springfield in 1939,

and Charlie Chaplain in 1889.

To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing. --Elbert Hubbard
If you know exactly what you are going to do, what's the point of doing it? -- Pablo PIcasso
The central Christian belief is that Christ's death has somehow put us right with God and given us a fresh start. Theories as to how it did this are another matter. A good many theories have been held as to how it works; what all Christians agree on is that it does work. --C.S. Lewis
There is no way of telling people that they are all walking around shining like the sun. --Thomas Merton
We do not think ourselves into new ways of living. We live ourselves into new ways of thinking. --Richard Rohr
"I love the recklessness of faith. First you leap, and then you grow wings." --William Sloane Coffin
