Book cover for Bridle the Wind (Felix Brooke, #2)
“Writing poetry is not at all easy!” retorted Juan, firing up. “Sometimes you can fret and sweat and frown, and feel as if you were pushing your whole soul out of your body, and yet hardly one line comes as it ought.”

Oswald Chambers
“The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.”
Oswald Chambers

P.J. O'Rourke
“Everybody wants to save the Earth; nobody wants to help Mom do the dishes.”
P.J. O'Rourke, All the Trouble in the World

P.J. O'Rourke
“Freedom is not empowerment. Empowerment is what the Serbs have in Bosnia. Anybody can grab a gun and be empowered. It's not entitlement. An entitlement is what people on welfare get, and how free are they? It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights -- the "right" to education, the "right" to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery -- hay and a barn for human cattle. There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences.”
P.J. O'Rourke

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“Our envy of others devours us most of all.”
Alexander Solzhenitsyn

George MacDonald
“What honest boy would pride himself on not picking pockets ? A thief who was trying to reform would. To be conceited of doing one's duty is then a sign of how little one does it, and how little one sees what a contemptible thing it is not to do it. Could any but a low creature be conceited of not being contemptible? Until our duty becomes to us common as breathing, we are poor creatures.”
George MacDonald, The Wise Woman and Other Stories
