God... a being whose only definition is that he is beyond man's power to conceive.

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.

If you will stay with the majority of the Twelve Apostles, and the records of the Church, you will never be led astray.

Good God, do you mean to say this place is a club?

I confused things with their names: that is belief.

Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem - in my opinion - to characterize our age.

It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.

As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.

I like someone who is a little crazy but coming from a good place. I think scars are sexy because it means you made a mistake that led to a mess.

Many a man thinks he is patient when, in reality, he is indifferent.

Yes, it's a man's world, but that's all right because they're making a total mess of it. We're chipping away at their control, taking the parts we want. Some women think it's a difficult task, but it's not.

Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.

The task of the educator lies in seeing that the child does not confound good with immobility and evil with activity.

I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death... I think... peace and tranquillity will return again.

All love shifts and changes. I don't know if you can be wholeheartedly in love all the time.

Getting your house in order and reducing the confusion gives you more control over your life. Personal organization some how releases or frees you to operate more effectively.

I'm never at my best on television. There's a row of cameras between you and the audience, and it's very weird, very confusing.

The absence of alternatives clears the mind marvelously.

I used to be indecisive but now I am not quite sure.

To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves - there lies the great, singular power of self-respect.

If I don't know I don't know, I think I know. If I don't know I know I know, I think I don't know.

Rule A: Don't. Rule A1: Rule A doesn't exist. Rule A2: Do not discuss the existence or non-existence of Rules A, A1 or A2.

As I make my slow pilgrimage through the world, a certain sense of beautiful mystery seems to gather and grow.

I believe in a long prolonged derangement of the senses in order to obtain the unknown.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.

I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they're good or there because they're lucky.

Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is theoretically possible.

Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left.

I have never wished to cater to the crowd; for what I know they do not approve, and what they approve I do not know.

After all, one knows one's weak points so well, that it's rather bewildering to have the critics overlook them and invent others.

I don't know if I should care for a man who made life easy; I should want someone who made it interesting.

You know what I hate? Indian givers... no, I take that back.

The liberals can understand everything but people who don't understand them.

No man for any considerable period can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.

I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion.

I mean, the embarrassment quotient has been going down for a long time, and the fond amusement has been rising.

Confusion is a word we have invented for an order which is not understood.

The worst thing about that kind of prejudice... is that while you feel hurt and angry and all the rest of it, it feeds you self-doubt. You start thinking, perhaps I am not good enough

One thing that's coming up a lot is: are you as grumpy as you appear from this Black Books thing.
