Richelieus God Quotes & Sayings

The fruitfulness of our life depends in large measure on our ability to doubt our own words and to question the value of our own work. The man who completely trusts his own estimate of himself is doomed to sterility. All he asks of any act he performs is that it be his act. If it is performed by him, it must be good. All words spoken by him must be infallible. The car he has just bought is the best for its price, for no other reason than that he is the one who has bought it. He seeks no other fruit than this, and therefore he generally gets no other. — Thomas Merton

Whenever anyone says, 'theoretically,' they really mean, 'not really.' — Dave Parnas

Voldemort the corn snake with the shoe fetish. Wonderful. — Huntley Fitzpatrick

A scent that disturbs me and delights me. It smells like ripe pears, vetiver, a bit of violet and something else- something spicy almost biting and exotic. — Rebecca Wells

I don't ever want it to be about me. A friend of mine told me, 'The difference between fame and notoriety is fame is when people know you, and notoriety is when people know your work.' The first one is not respectable, but the second one is, because that leaves a legacy. — Troy Baker

What's standing between you and your dreams is fear. — Sarvinder Naberhaus

At the heart of sin lies a lack of trust that God intends the best for us. — Philip Yancey
