Nothing goes by luck in composition. It allows of no tricks. The best you can write will be the best you are.

Henry David Thoreau

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.

Ingrid Bergman

It is a trick among the dishonest to offer sacrifices that are not needed, or not possible, to avoid making those that are required.

Ivan Goncharov

Men have a trick of coming up to what is expected of them, good or bad.

Jacob A. Riis

Vanity plays lurid tricks with our memory.

Joseph Conrad

Nature cannot be tricked or cheated. She will give up to you the object of your struggles only after you have paid her price.

Napoleon Hill

Success can also cause misery. The trick is not to be surprised when you discover it doesn't bring you all the happiness and answers you thought it would.

Prince

Be an artist superior to tricks of art. Show frankly, as a saint would do, all your experience, your methods, tools, and means. Welcome all comers to the freest use of the same. And out of this superior frankness and charity, you shall learn higher secrets of your nature, which gods will bend and aid you to communicate.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The fox has many tricks. The hedgehog has but one. But that is the best of all.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

In every marriage more than a week old, there are grounds for divorce. The trick is to find, and continue to find, grounds for marriage.

Robert Anderson

I have found that a smile and a stick will carry you through all right, and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it is the smile that does the trick.

Robert Powell

I believe that only one person in a thousand knows the trick of really living in the present.

Storm Jameson

Some people are so busy learning the tricks of the trade that they never learn the trade.

Vernon Law

Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species.

W. Somerset Maugham

There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.

Will Rogers

641. Stamped with God’s Own Image

Matthew 22:15-22

Sermon

Albert G. Butzer III

... accuse him of insurrection and arrest him for a crime against the state. Either answer was problematic. Saying “yes” ran the risk of being called a traitor. Saying “no” ran the risk of being called a political troublemaker. So how did the wise rabbi answer their trick question? Before giving his answer, Jesus asked to see the coin used to pay the tax. “Whose head is this,” he asked, “and whose title?” They all knew that the coin was not a Jewish coin but a Roman coin. The image on the coin ...

642. False Teeth

Humor

The little girl could sit for hours and stare at her grandfather's false teeth. They were fascinating. She insisted that her grandfather take out his false teeth again and again, clean them, and put them back in. After the grandfather had repeated this trick innumerable times, he asked, "Anything else?" "Yes," said the child. "Now take off your nose."

643. Fake Bug

Humor

A group of students at Harvard once tried to fool the famous professor of zoology Agassiz. They took parts from a number of different bugs and with great skill attached them together to make a creation they were sure would baffle their teacher. On the chosen day they brought it to him and asked that he identify it. As he inspected it with great care, the students grew more and more sure they had tricked this genius. The professor replied, "It is a humbug."

644. About That Anger

John 2:12-25

Sermon

King Duncan

... older woman years ago who was called to testify at a very dramatic trial. “One of the lawyers was famous for being tough and heartless, and he was really badgering her on the witness stand. He shouted loudly and pointed his finger, using all kinds of tricks to upset and fluster the woman. She prayed quietly to God for strength. She asked Him to help her stay poised and find the right words. “Just then the lawyer went into a tirade, asking a sarcastic, ruthless question, gesturing in a demeaning way, and ...

645. Knowledge

Genesis 3:1-19 · Psalm 90

Sermon

Will Willimon

... told. "You will have desire for your husband but he shall dominate you." This isn't God's will. God's will was for two companions in the Garden, being fruitful and multiplying. Now, relations between men and women are confused, a matter of power plays, dirty tricks, domination, submission. Even the joy of children will cause much pain. To the man: "You shall be at war with the earth. It shall bring forth as many thorns as fruit. You shall sweat and labor over the dusty earth your whole life and then return ...

646. Because We Are Chosen

Ephesians 1:3-14

Sermon

King Duncan

... . He looks at our potential. He looks at who we could be once we find our life in Christ. In his teens, a young man named Eddie Elguera was at the top of the skateboarding world. In fact, Eddie created many of the innovative skateboard tricks that are now standards of the sport. He was named national champion by the U.S. Amateur Skateboarding Association. On the professional circuit, Eddie won the Gold Cup Series, making him the undisputed world champion of skateboarding. But one day his life made a wrong ...

647. Never on Sunday

Mark 2:23-3:6

Sermon

Dean Feldmeyer

... about Sabbath observation, a violation which, if they really wanted to push it, was punishable by death (Exodus 31:14). Jesus answered a question with a question: Haven’t you read in the sacred texts how David was starving and broke into the temple and tricked the priest into giving him some sacred bread that only the priests could lawfully eat? Before we go on, let’s be honest. Mark had just massacred the story that was recounted in 1 Samuel 21. The parallels between David and Jesus were, pretty much ...

648. Empowering the Powerless

Mark 10:2-16

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... together,” Jesus said. Jesus knew how to uphold the laws of scripture and yet challenge the Pharisees’ interpretation and misuse of them at the same time! Yet again, the Pharisees could not thwart him. Their tests could not fell him. What is Jesus’ trick? For every question about law, Jesus gives a relational answer. For every legal challenge, Jesus challenges back with a relational counter. While laws and guidelines are there for us, because we are a people who need structure to know who we are and ...

649. Faith and Freedom

Mark 5:21-43

Sermon

Billy D. Strayhorn

... bicycle. He was paying more attention to the speedometer than he was to where he was going and he hit a deep chuck hole and wrecked. Two young women saw the wreck. One of them came to the door and told us what had happened. I know our memories play tricks on us sometimes, and sometimes we only remember the impressions of the event or what we want to remember. In my mind I can still see her carrying Paul's limp body up that hill. I really don't remember if Paul was really unconscious or not. All I really ...

650. The Wedding Planner's Worst Nightmare

John 2:1-11

Sermon

King Duncan

... and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.” It’s easy to look at Jesus’ first miracle and think it’s just an impressive party trick. We might as well end this passage with the words, “And they lived happily ever after. The End.” But the last line of our Bible passage reads, “What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory ...
