It is what we know already that often prevents us from learning.

There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves no matter how unpleasant are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn whatever steps we take they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go.

Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes no coincidences all events are blessings given to us to learn from.

I believe that the will of the people is resolved by a strong leadership. Even in a democratic society events depend on a strong leadership with a strong power of persuasion and not on the opinion of the masses.

It is true that the aristocracies seem to have abused their monopoly of legal knowledge and at all events their exclusive possession of the law was a formidable impediment to the success of those popular movements which began to be universal in the western world.

You don't need an explanation for everything Recognize that there are such things as miracles - events for which there are no ready explanations. Later knowledge may explain those events quite easily.

To be educated a person doesn't have to know much or be informed but he or she does have to have been exposed vulnerably to the transformative events of an engaged human life.

Since the goal of my programs is to show audiences how humor can both help them heal as well as deal with not-so-funny stuff I decided to discuss the events of the previous week the pain all of us were feeling and how humor and some laughter might be beneficial.

Down the road I'll probably have a kid or two or three. And there will probably be political events or spiritual things to comment on and humor.

Events at home at work in the street - these are the bases for a story.

You never know what events are going to transpire to get you home.

Why shouldn't rap be esoteric able to take in current events history and criticism? I guess it's this old idea of containment - that rappers because they're black can't and shouldn't aspire to look outside the ghetto for influence.

In the tumult of men and events solitude was my temptation now it is my friend. What other satisfaction can be sought once you have confronted History?

Neither current events nor history show that the majority rule or ever did rule.

The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner but that they reflect a certain underlying order which may or may not be divinely inspired.

History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren't there.

History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.

History is an account mostly false of events mostly unimportant which are brought about by rulers mostly knaves and soldiers mostly fools.

Even if you walk exactly the same route each time - as with a sonnet - the events along the route cannot be imagined to be the same from day to day as the poet's health sight his anticipations moods fears thoughts cannot be the same.

I want to thank the efforts of the American Public Health Association and its 200-plus partners who have organized events around the Nation that serve to raise everyone's awareness of the need to improve public health.

Happiness is not a matter of events it depends upon the tides of the mind.

I am more and more convinced that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves.

Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.

Great events make me quiet and calm it is only trifles that irritate my nerves.
