It does not matter much whom we live with in this world but it matters a great deal whom we dream of.

Fortune which has a great deal of power in other matters but especially in war can bring about great changes in a situation through very slight forces.

It is humiliating to remain with our hands folded while others write history. It matters little who wins. To make a people great it is necessary to send them to battle even if you have to kick them in the pants. That is what I shall do.

They that apply themselves to trifling matters commonly become incapable of great ones.

The sensitivity of men to small matters and their indifference to great ones indicates a strange inversion.

Material possessions winning scores and great reputations are meaningless in the eyes of the Lord because He knows what we really are and that is all that matters.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart you'll know when you find it.

If you haven't found it yet keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart you'll know when you find it. And like any great relationship it just gets better and better as the years roll on.

If you're happy if you're feeling good then nothing else matters.

The most savage controversies are about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way.

As is a tale so is life: not how long it is but how good it is is what matters.

If you tell God no because He won't explain the reason He wants you to do something you are actually hindering His blessing.

There are matters in the Bible said to be done by the express commandment of God that are shocking to humanity and to every idea we have of moral justice.

One of the matters that must be addressed is that Rwanda and Uganda have to leave the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We're also supporting processes to ensure that the political dialogue among the Congolese themselves takes place so that the people there can decide their future.

What matters is to live in the present live now for every moment is now. It is your thoughts and acts of the moment that create your future. The outline of your future path already exists for you created its pattern by your past.

Mmmm... the comedy that matters is the comedy you pull out of thin air. It's a bit like when something funny has happened and you try to explain it to someone else and end up saying 'You had to be there.'
