More From Roger Moore

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
Of course boredom may lead you to anything. it is boredom sets one sticking golden pins into people, but all that would not matter. what is bad (this is my comment again) is that i dare say people will be thankful for the gold pins then.
People Boredom Being Thankful
People really don't like to hear success explained away as luck — especially successful people. as they age, and succeed, people feel their success was somehow inevitable. they don't want to acknowledge the role played by accident in their lives. there is a reason for this: the world does not want to acknowledge it either. if you use better data, you can find better values; there are always market inefficiencies to exploit, and so on. but it has a broader and less practical message: don't be deceived by life's outcomes. life's outcomes, while not entirely random, have a huge amount of luck baked into them. above all, recognize that if you have had success, you have also had luck — and with luck comes obligation.
Successful People Luck
There's always the same amount of good luck and bad luck in the world. if one person doesn't get the bad luck, somebody else will have to get it in their place. there's always the same amount of good and evil, too. we can't eradicate evil, we can only evict it, force it to move across town. and when evil moves, some good always goes with it. but we can never alter the ratio of good to evil. all we can do is keep things stirred up so neither good nor evil solidifies. that's when things get scary. life is like a stew, you have to stir it frequently, or all the scum rises to the top.

I hope you make the best of it. and i hope you see things that startle you. i hope you feel things you never felt before. i hope you meet people with a different point of view. i hope you live a life you're proud of. if you find that you're not, i hope you have the strength to start all over again.

God help us, ma'am! do you see what we saw? we saw that we'd been given a law to live by, a moral law, they called it, which punished those who observed it - for observing it. the more you tried to live up to it, the more you suffered; the more you cheated it, the bigger reward you got. your honesty was like a tool left at the mercy of the next man's dishonesty. the honest ones paid, the dishonest collected. the honest lost, the dishonest won. how long could men stay good under this sort of a law of goodness?

Similar Quotes
To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulne­ss while telling carefully constructe­d lies, to hold simultaneo­usly two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradict­ory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the party was the guardian of democracy.
Honesty Integrity Lying
How can anyone expect to be understood unless he presents his thoughts with complete honesty? this situation is unfair because it asks too much of the world. in effect, we say, ' i don't dare show you what i am because i don't trust you for a minute but please love me anyway because i so need you to. and, of course, if you don't love me anyway, you're a dirty dog, just as i suspected, so i was right in the first place.' yet, every time god's children have thrown away fear in pursuit of honesty-trying to communicate themselves, understood or not, miracles have happened.
