The more we are filled with thoughts of lust the less we find true romantic love.

It's not easy to retire at 31. In one respect I was glad I was done. But after a few years of having fun I got a little restless. When you're 33 34 and you don't have a focus you can get kind of lost. As a man you feel a little bit unfulfilled.

I got a lot of things that society had promised would make me whole and fulfilled - all the things that the culture tells you from preschool on will quiet the throbbing anxiety inside you - stature the respect of colleagues maybe even a kind of low-grade fame.

In politics every day is filled with numerous opportunities for serious error. Enjoy it.

All I knew about Ethiopia was from a few records that I like as well as what I read about the famine. But you get there and it's another world. It's filled with art and music and poetry and intellectuals and writers - all kinds of people.

Blessed be God that Thou hast filled the soul of Thy servant with joy and peace in believing.

I know that. I'm having a ball. I'm not slap happy. I'm just filled up with joy and with peace and with all kinds of things that have eluded me for quite a few years. And they're back and they're thriving.

None of the abstract concepts comes closer to fulfilled utopia than that of eternal peace.

The stars that nature hung in heaven and filled their lamps with everlasting oil give due light to the misled and lonely traveller.
