James C. Dobson
“25. Whenever two human beings spend time together, sooner or later they will probably irritate one another. This is true of best friends, married couples, parents and children, or teachers and students. The question is: How do they respond when friction occurs? There are four basic ways they can react:

� They can internalize the anger and send it downward into a memory bank that never forgets. This creates great pressure within and can even result in disease and other problems.
� They can pout and be rude without discussing the issues. This further irritates the other person and leaves him or her to draw his or her own conclusions about what the problem may be.
� They can blow up and try to hurt the other person. This causes the death of friendships, marriages, homes, and businesses.
â€� Or they can talk to one another about their feelings, being very careful not to attack the dignity and worth of the other person. This approach often leads to permanent and healthy relationships.”
James C. Dobson, Life on the Edge: The Next Generation's Guide to a Meaningful Future

“...and a third had died in his bunk of natural causes-- for a dagger in the heart quite naturally ends one's life”
R. A. Salvatore

T.S. Eliot
“If we take the widest and wisest view of a Cause, there is no such thing as a Lost Cause because there is no such thing as a Gained Cause. We fight for lost causes because we know that our defeat and dismay may be the preface to our successorsâ€� victory, though that victory itself will be temporary; we fight rather to keep something alive than in the expectation that anything will triumph.”
T.S. Eliot, Selected Essays: 1917-1932

René Char
“You only fight well for causes you yourself have shaped, with which you identify—and burn.”
René Char, Leaves of Hypnos

“Our thoughts are causes. You sow a thought, you reap an action. You sow an action, you reap a habit. You sow a habit, you reap a character. You sow a character, you reap a destiny. It all starts with a thought.”
Shiv Khera, You Can Win : A Step by Step Tool for Top Achievers

Shannon L. Alder
“The problem will never be diversity, the challenging of tradition or the one person that questions the way life should be. The person that shows the world that this is wrong, there is a perspective you didn't consider, this is worth fighting for and being different is a blessing, will always be the solution for change.”
Shannon L. Alder

Shannon L. Alder
“The greatest work you will ever do is charity; the most divine work you will ever do will be changing people’s perception of God, while you’re doing charity.”

Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes

A.J. Darkholme
“There is immense power in an idea, because it unites people. It motivates them toward change. But the real power lies in their unity, in coming together â€� if enough can be rallied to a cause, no matter how ridiculous, it will be seen and heard.”
A.J. Darkholme, Rise of the Morningstar

Steven Magee
“One of the problems with climate change, global warming and global air pollution is that it may change the frequency and intensity of electrical storm activity. Too much lightning activity may cause excessive mating, aggression, fatigue, illness and disease to occur. Too little may turn off the animal and plant breeding cycles.”
Steven Magee, Electrical Forensics

James C. Dobson
“28. Feelings are neither right nor wrong. It's what you do with them that causes the problems.”
James C. Dobson, Life on the Edge: The Next Generation's Guide to a Meaningful Future

Shannon L. Alder
“Awards and recognition are not the purpose of life and not the goal of an activist. The heart of an activist usually redonates the money, or uses the accolades as a foot in the door for more activism and awareness. A plack on the wall won’t change the world; it only shows your devotion.”
Shannon L. Alder

David Chiles
“Online affiliation with good causes is good netiquette. Stand for something!”
David Chiles

Kim Newman
“This is the moral, Oh My Best Beloved: never kill anyone for a 'Cause'.
For why not, Uncle Basher?
Because causes don't pay, Little Friend of all the World. Adherents expect you to kill just for the righteousness of it. They don't want to pay you! They don't understand why you want paying!”
Kim Newman, Professor Moriarty: The Hound of the D'Urbervilles

Terry Goodkind
“Being afraid something is true is accepting the possibility. Accepting the possibility is the first step to believing. At least you are smart enough to question. Think of how easy it is to believe, for people who don't question, who don't even know how to question. For most people, it's not the truth that is important, it's the cause. Rahl is intelligent; he has given them a cause.”
Terry Goodkind, Wizard's First Rule

László Krasznahorkai
“It is not always necessary to search for the cause behind everything, because every cause is unfounded. A cause only looks like a cause from a certain viewpoint.”
László Krasznahorkai, Destruction and Sorrow beneath the Heavens: Reportage

J.D. Brewer
“After all, I wasn’t even sure if the ancient causes belonged to me in the first place because being born into a belief tended to make me feel more like I belonged to it instead.”
J.D. Brewer, The Birth of Anarchy: Vagabond's Sequel

James C. Dobson
“The idea that Love Must Be Tough dictates that we be willing to set another person free- even if it causes us great pain to let go. When we do this, we maximize the chances that that loved one will not leave, because the cage door has been opened and self-respect has been affirmed.”
James C. Dobson, Life on the Edge: A Young Adult's Guide to a Meaningful Future

Hilari Bell
“All causes are good,' Yallin told her calmly. 'And those exact same causes are all bad, depending on which side a body's on. Regent Pettibone and his followers certainly thought your mother's cause was a bad one. To my mind, causes aren't about good or bad, in the end. They're about power. That's what makes them so dangerous.”
Hilari Bell, The Sword of Waters

“There are two causes for "burning": passionate desires coming from our thoughts, and flirting.”
Sunday Adelaja

Dada Bhagwan
“Things of the world are not in a ‘seedâ€� form; they are in a form of a ‘fruitâ€�. One has come with a ready farm; all he has to do is harvest the fruits now.”
Dada Bhagwan
