Real Speaks Out Voice

More From Shakira

For its part, government will listen. we will strive to listen in new ways - to the voices of quiet anguish, to voices that speak without words, the voices of the heart, to the injured voices, and the anxious voices, and the voices that have despaired of being heard.

Somehow this madness must cease. we must stop now. i speak as a child of god and brother to the suffering poor of vietnam. i speak for those whose land is being laid waste, whose homes are being destroyed, whose culture is being subverted. i speak for the poor in america who are paying the double price of smashed hopes at home and death and corruption in vietnam. i speak as a citizen of the world, for the world as it stands aghast at the path we have taken. i speak as an american to the leaders of my own nation. the great initiative in this war is ours. the initiative to stop it must be ours.

Don't spend most of your time on the voices that don't count, voices that are going to add too little worth to your future. don't waste time on the shallow and the silly. tune those voices out and tune in voices that are going to add something to your life

During the first campaign, one of my jobs as my husband's spouse was to travel around the country and really listen to women. there were voices that were new to me: the voices of military spouses, many of them women, and veterans.... i was overwhelmed by their challenges, and the notion that we as a country don't even know that these women exist, because we live in a country where one percent of the population protects the rights and freedoms of the other 99 percent of us. i thought that if i had the opportunity to serve as first lady, i was going to use this platform to be their voice.

Friends now fast sworn, whose double bosoms seems to wear one heart, whose hours, whose bed, whose meal and exercise are still together, who twin, as 'twere, in love, unseparable, shall within this hour, on a dissension of a doit, break out to bitterest enmity; so fellest foes, whose passions and whose plots have broke their sleep to take the one the other, by some chance, some trick not worth an egg, shall grow dear friends and interjoin their issues.

But what i would like to say is that the spiritual life is a life in which you gradually learn to listen to a voice that says something else, that says, "you are the beloved and on you my favour rests."... i want you to hear that voice. it is not a very loud voice because it is an intimate voice. it comes from a very deep place. it is soft and gentle. i want you to gradually hear that voice. we both have to hear that voice and to claim for ourselves that that voice speaks the truth, our truth. it tells us who we are.

Similar Quotes

For to pretend that men may live habitually sinful lives without any attempt by the spirit to mortify sin in them, nor with any desire for repentance, is to deny the christian religion.

However un-christian this may sound, i am not even predisposed against myself.

Christianity is not just involved with "salvation", but with the total man in the total world. the christian message begins with the existence of god forever, and then with creation. it does not begin with salvation. we must be thankful for salvation, but the christian message is more than that. man has a value because he is made in the image of god.

It is sad that today many times people give up in the hard times and never get to enjoy the fruit of all their labor.
