Richillo Oliveros Quotes

"And to us men, let us continue the struggle and pray to live up to Him and our father before us. Happy Father’s Day!" ~Richillo Oliveros, June 20, 2021

"Confidence is silent because it speaks for itself. Insecurity on the other hand is loud. It calls attention to itself. It seeks affirmation from others that which is undeserved. Be quiet in your truth and silent in your faith. God commands you to be still. Take your confidence in Him and He will stand up for you." ~Richillo Oliveros

"‪God's time is probably very different from how we perceive it. Still the wheels are turning. It will come in God's perfect time." ~‬Richillo Oliveros

"May the labor of our hands and the sweat of our brows be a silent prayer and dedication to God and to our families." ~Richillo Oliveros 

"Men just like women tend to be protective all the time, kind of bossy I guess but that's paternal instincts kicking in. Same with maternal instincts, not really an issue unless someone goes overboard." ~Richillo Oliveros, November 6, 2017

"Sometimes we do things that don't seem to make sense to everyone. That's how love is. True, unconditional love breezes through all that imperfections and just find a way to love that which many may think not worth our love. Because love only needs one minute reason to hold on, one goodness that's all it takes. From that small seed of goodness love will toil and nourish and sees the potential way before anyone does. That's how love sees, that how God love us; beyond our imperfections and frailties even beyond reason." ~Richillo Oliveros

"‪The atrocities the church have committed throughout the centuries are ghastly to say the least. It's coming to light. God's judgment is bearing down on them." ~‬Richillo Oliveros

"To our Heavenly Father be all the glory, honor and praise on this day and in all days for He is the true and perfect manifestation of who, what and how a Father should be." ~Richillo Oliveros, June 20, 2021 on Father's Day

and having gone through
the essence of countless life battles

it is like always being put into a flow;
of great mystery seeing the invincible . . .
home is from the Creator to the created

the breeze embraces
and humbles the soul
to the next beautiful paragon."

BROOKE HAMPTON Quotes

"Don't let this silly world trick you into starving your soul for  material things, cause some day you're going to be sitting  out under the stars and realise how little you actually need to be truly  happy." ~Brooke Hampton 

“Fancy things never appealed to me. I like the sweet, simple things. I like to watch the sunrise on my old front porch with a warm cup of coffee. I like good books on rainy afternoons. I like to grow things. And I like the way it feels to be surrounded by real friends and people I love.” ~Brooke Hampton

“I’m pieces of all the places I have been, and the people I have loved … I’ve been stitched together by song lyrics, book quotes, adventures, late night conversations, and the smell of coffee.” ~Brooke Hampton

"I do not fear being alone,  my dear; I fear being alone in a room full of people I cannot trust." ~Brooke Hampton 

"I don't want fancy dinner dates, shiny cars, overpriced hotels, stuffy people and diamonds I won't ever wear. Give me an old truck bed full of blankets, a clear night sky full of stars, some homemade chocolate and a soul that can make me laugh and is willing to be real with me." ~Brooke Hampton

"Speak to your children as if they are the wisest, kindest, most beautiful and magical humans on earth, for what they believe is what they will become." ~Brooke Hampton

Francis Underwood - Truth

"There’s no better way to overpower a trickle of doubt than with a flood of naked truth." ~Francis Underwood

Bob Hawke Quotes

"By 1990, no Australian child will be living in poverty." ~Bob Hawke

"I assumed the leadership within the Commonwealth for the fight against apartheid. I was very much assisted by Brian Mulroney, the Prime Minister of Canada, [and] Rajiv Gandhi, when he became the Prime Minister of India. And there were trade sanctions." ~Bob Hawke

"I had a good personal relationship with Lee Kuan Yew and I used him, in the sense, that he... He made a statement in 1980, and he said in that statement that, "If Australia keeps going the way it is, it will finish up the poor, white trash of Asia." And he was right, because we were just going backwards." ~Bob Hawke

"I just loved him and he loved me... He was a most humble man, the most decent man I've ever met in my life and he always looked for the best in people to find positives and he said something to me that always remained with me. He said if you believe in the fatherhood of God you must necessarily believe in the brotherhood of man, it follows necessarily and even though I left the church and was not religious, that truth remained with me." ~Bob Hawke

"In fact, soon after that [South African sanctions], I was going on an official visit to the UK and Margaret Thatcher instructed every minister to clear the decks of any outstanding matters between us - Australia and the Brits. And she went out of her way to make sure that that was as successful a visit as it possibly could be." ~Bob Hawke

"In sum, the truth is that we luxuriate in the comfortable assertion that women enjoy equality. We have salved our consciences by eliminating the more obvious discriminations like unequal rates of pay for work of equal value. But, in fact, we have not eliminated the inheritance of the millennia that women are lesser beings, an inheritance which still manifests itself in a whole range of prejudice and other forms of discrimination." ~Bob Hawke

"My point was that the war was intrinsically wrong, and as a result of our participation we haven't improved Australia's security but created a greater danger at home and abroad." ~Bob Hawke

"Peoples have come to experience that political structures and divisions of power are not immutable. Nor will they perceive the distribution of wealth and resources between nations to be unalterably ordained by heaven and incapable of drastic rearrangement by the less than gentle manipulation of man." ~Bob Hawke

"The essence of power is the knowledge that what you do is going to have an effect not just an immediate but perhaps a lifelong effect on the happiness and wellbeing of millions of people and so I think the essence of power is to be conscious of what it can mean for others." ~Bob Hawke

'... the fact is that we are in a unique time, it is the first time since the Second World War when there is not one outstanding leader in the world.' ~Bob Hawke, former Prime Minister of Australia

"The things which are most important don’t always scream the loudest." ~Bob Hawke

"The world will not wait for us." ~Bob Hawke

"There is no doubt that this government and this country are benefiting from the reforms that we brought in the 1980s, and that couldn't have been done without the co-operation of the trade union movement." ~Bob Hawke

"We will not allow to become a political issue in this country the question of Asianisation." ~Bob Hawke

THE WORD You Tube Channel - Living at the mercy

"Many people spend their life, at the mercy of circumstances. Living at the mercy of what happens to them. Living at the mercy of other people. NOT living in the present, because they are stuck in the prison of their past." ~The Word (Joseph's Three Coats Lesson: The Coat of Salvation, You Tube)

Samuel P. Huntington Quotes

“Every civilization sees itself as the center of the world and writes its history as the central drama of human history.” ~Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order

“Hypocrisy, double standards, and "but nots" are the price of universalist pretensions. Democracy is promoted, but not if it brings Islamic fundamentalists to power; nonproliferation is preached for Iran and Iraq, but not for Israel; free trade is the elixir of economic growth, but not for agriculture; human rights are an issue for China, but not with Saudi Arabia; aggression against oil-owning Kuwaitis is massively repulsed, but not against non-oil-owning Bosnians. Double standards in practice are the unavoidable price of universal standards of principle.” ~Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order

“People define themselves in terms of ancestry, religion, language, history, values, customs, and institutions. They identify with cultural groups: tribes, ethnic groups, religious communities, nations, and, at the broadest level, civilizations. People use politics not just to advance their interests but also to define their identity. We know who we are only when we know who we are not and often only when we know whom we are against.” ~Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order

“Power remains strong when it remains in the dark; exposed to the sunlight it begins to evaporate.” ~Samuel P. Huntington, American Politics: The Promise of Disharmony

“There can be no true friends without true enemies. Unless we hate what we are not, we cannot love what we are.” ~Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order

“We have to know who we are before we can know what our interests are.” ~Samuel P. Huntington, Who Are We?: The Challenges to America's National Identity

Obi-wan Kenobi - Injustice

"The suffering of one man is the suffering of all. Distances are irrelevant to injustice. If not stopped soon enough, evil eventually reaches out to engulf all men, whether they have opposed it or ignored it." ~Obi-wan Kenobi, Jedi Knight

Robert Kaplan Quotes

"Ensuring a nation’s survival sometimes leaves tragically little room for private morality...The rare individuals who have recognized the necessity of violating such morality, acted accordingly, and taken responsibility for their actions are among the most necessary leaders for their countries, even as they have caused great unease among generations of well-meaning intellectuals who, free of the burden of real-world bureaucratic responsibility, make choices in the abstract and treat morality as an inflexible absolute." ~Robert Kaplan

“If you look at zero you see nothing; but look through it and you will see the world.” ~Robert Kaplan
