difference

The difference between human and other species is, they eat each other when they have nothing to eat, but we eat each other while having everything.

The soul often hangs in a balance of some sort. Tonight do I lie down in the high fields with Dirk Tanner or not? At the fair, do I buy ribbons or wine? For the new ferry__ headboard, do I use camphor or pearwood? Small things. A kiss, a ribbon, a grain that coaxes the knife this way or that. They are not, Kit Meinem of Atyar. Our souls wait for our answer because any answer changes us. This is why I wait to decide what I feel about your bridge. I__ waiting until I know how I will be changed._ __ou never know how things will change you,_ Kit said. __f you don__, you have not waited to find out.

We encounter God in the face of a stranger. That, I believe, is the Hebrew Bible__ single greatest and most counterintuitive contribution to ethics. God creates difference; therefore it is in one-who-is-different that we meet god. Abraham encounters God when he invites three strangers into his tent.

You care because God gave you this unusual blessing: a burden to make a difference.

And because God has entrusted you with such riches, you can use these resources to make a profound difference in countless lives.

It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.

I feel obligated to point out, though, that I have always been a sucker for ideas I find aesthetically pleasing. The cosmic sweep of the thing - an interstellar kula chain - affirming the differences and at the same time emphasizing the similarities of all the intelligent races in the galaxy - tying them together, building common traditions... The notion strikes me as kind of fine.

If making a difference in someone else__ life makes me sleep every night, then I will do it everyday.

Through love, you see the whole world, not just people, differently.

The difference between the old Testament and the new testament is that God doesn__ want sacrifices anymore

Sometimes we have to behave indifferent towards people who proclaim their love to us, just to see if they are really different.

You forget, my good man, that what the artist perceives is, primarily, the difference between things. It is the vulgar who note their resemblance.

Every morning when I wake up, I wish the day will be productive. It should be filled with good things like writing something worth the thought, helping people, or even carrying out simple deeds like flashing a friendly smile to everyone. Well, why bother doing all these? It's because I keep telling myself to never underestimate the power of virtue, no matter how small it seems, it can make a difference.

Why do you feel so powerless? Go spend an hour with ants. Each of those black specks you see is a life. One whole life that you can save, take, or affect in some way. You have the power to make so many lives better. It is within you. Don__ lose sight of that.

Eloquence is painted thought, and thus those who, after having painted it, add somewhat more, make a picture, not a portrait.

If your existence does not make any difference, you are no more than a dead body.

It is my sincerest hope to leave this world in better shape than which I found it. Everyone says that. However the distinction I feel that is necessary to make is. I hope to leave this world better in spite of my departure, not because of it.

It's impossible to be involved in all situations, but there's no excuse not to be involved in something, somewhere, somehow, with someone. Make an ounce of difference.
