Guesting Means Quotes & Sayings

We all have our secrets. We all have our vulnerabilities. — Brett Dalton

It is not scholarship alone, but scholarship impregnated with religion, that tells on the great mass of society.

If you ask me, that's a lot more than the five dollars my company charges. — Trey Parker

But like the crusaders, who in the name of piety had carried out that dreadful massacre in Jerusalem, there were many citizens who failed to hear in those penitential sermons a call to mend their ways, and instead learnt to hate all those who didn't share their faith. — E.H. Gombrich

Go to the place where the thing you wish to know is native; your best teacher is there. Where the thing you wish to know is so dominant that you must breathe its very atmosphere, there teaching is moat thorough, and learning is most easy. You acquire a language most readily in the country where it is spoken; you study mineralogy boat among miners; and so with everything else. — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
