Soft Quotations The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts. C. S. Lewis If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair. C. S. Lewis The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life. Theodore Roosevelt Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft. Theodore Roosevelt The unforgivable crime is soft hitting. Do not hit at all if it can be avoided; but never hit softly. Theodore Roosevelt The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing. Sigmund Freud There is no object so soft but it makes a hub for the wheeled universe. Walt Whitman I'd rather see you drink a glass of wine than a glass of milk.

Some of these drinks have 8 or 9 teaspoons of sugar in them What's the good of living if you can't have the things that give a little enjoyment? Jack LaLanne Just as in earthly life lovers long for the moment when they are able to breathe forth their love for each other, to let their souls blend in a soft whisper, so the mystic longs for the moment when in prayer he can, as it were, creep into God. Soren Kierkegaard But hey, when you live in Watts, you need a little smack to get by, you know what I mean? You need something soft and comfortable in your life, 'cause you're not going to get it from what's around you. And society isn't going to give it to you. Jerry Garcia
