Foys Quotes

Combien de choses nous servoyent hier d’articles de foy, qui nous sont fables aujourd’huy? How many things served us yesterday for articles of faith, which today are fables for us?

Foy was no Tree of Knowledge, at most he was a Bush of Opinion

I give my mind the liberty to follow the first wise or foolish idea that presents itself, just as in the avenue de Foy our dissolute youths follow close on the heels of some strumpet, then leave her to pursue another, attacking all of them and attaching themselves to none. My thoughts are my strumpets.

Gratitude means you stop focusing on what you don’t have and start focusing on what you do have.

If you believe in your heart, and do not doubt in your mind.

Your life tomorrow will be determined by the words you speak today.

It’s not where you start, but whether you start.

That crap about being better off under slavery is too much even for you, isn't it, Foy?' 'At least McJones cares.' 'Come on, he cares about black people like a seven-footer cares about football. He has to care because what else would he be good at.

I AM ALWAYS DOING THAT WHICH I CANNOT DO, IN ORDER THAT I MAY LEARN HOW TO DO IT. –PABLO PICASSO

All the reading of weight-loss books and purchasing of fitness equipment won’t change a thing until you first guard your words.

turn your complaints into praise and watch what God can do!

As Joyce Meyer candidly puts it, “Complain and Remain.

Get into a habit of literally saying out loud or quietly under your breath, “Thank You, Jesus,” and say it for everything.

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

When what you see in your imagination is bigger than what you see in your reality, you will begin to attract the ideas, opportunities, resources, faith and relationships necessary to pursue those dreams.

Whatever you worship will consume you, Dong-Sing wrote one week. Bob Wright worships money. Wyatt Earp worships justice. Eddie Foy worships applause. Doc worships home and family, as I do. How will this consume us?

YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE WHERE YOU ARE UNTIL YOU SEE WHERE YOU’D RATHER BE! –

Change What You’re Saying and You’ll Change What You’re Seeing

Everything rises and falls on leadership. —John Maxwell

Your imagination is everything. It is a preview of life’s coming attractions. ALBERT  EINSTEIN

It’s not okay to be critical of yourself.

Develop a Plan for Personal Growth Success is something you attract by the person you become. —Jim Rohn

Cultivating your imagination is vital to shaping your life; and faith is a big part of doing that.

Verbal communication signs of flirting (that leave no room for guessing) include the famous (and ridiculous) pick-up lines:

you can change your desires by changing what you give attention to.

Every goal, every dream and every success begins on the inside of you.

quote from Dexter Yager: “You will never leave where you are until you decide where you’d rather be.

In November, Foy Quiller-Couch and I went on another riding expedition, this time to Bodmin moors, putting up at the wayside hostelry, Jamaica Inn.

word, don’t you? How could you not? I mean, come on. It’s like thirteen syllables. Here’s how: I-DECK-SUH VON FOY-ER, DARE MEN-SHEN FLYSH-FRESS-ENDUH.

If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. Admiral Bill McRaven (Navy SEAL)

Dr. Seuss once said, “You have brains in your head and feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own and you know. And you’re the one who’ll decide where to go.”9

if you are 42 years old, you only have 36 more Christmases left with your family. If you are 57 years old, you only have 21 more summers to enjoy at the lake. If you’re 63 years old, that’s 15 more birthday cakes with your family. Fifteen! That’s nothing! It makes you view life more seriously, doesn’t it?

The truth is we all have an expiration date. Your time here on earth is limited. It’s precious. It’s valuable. God doesn’t want you wasting another second with meaningless habits that are derailing your dreams. What if God placed a big stamp on our “passport to life” showing us how much time we have left? I mean, it’s sorta creepy, but it would certainly motivate us to live each day with purpose.

That’s the difference between most oppressed peoples of the world and American blacks. They vow never to forget, and we want everything expunged from our record, sealed and filed away for eternity. We want someone like Foy Cheshire to present our case to the world with a set of instructions that the jury will disregard centuries of ridicule and stereotype and pretend the woebegone niggers in front of you are starting from scratch. Foy

Hérault, Fabre thinks: and his mind drifts back—as it tends to, these days— to the Café du Foy. He’d been giving readings from his latest—Augusta was dying the death at the Italiens—and in came this huge, rough-looking boy, shoe-horned into a lawyer’s black suit, whom he’d made a sketch of in the street, ten years before. The boy had developed this upper-class drawl, and he’d talked about Hérault—“his looks are impeccable, he’s well traveled, he’s pursued by all the ladies at Court”—and beside Danton had been this fey wide-eyed egotist who had turned out to be half the city’s extramarital interest. The years pass … plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose …

You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. You see, success, doesn't suddenly occur one day in someone's life. For that matter, neither does failure. Each is a process. Every day of your life is merely preparation for the next. What you become is the result of what you do today.

Lost time is never found again." ~ Benjamin Franklin

The secret of your success is hidden in your daily routine.”[1]

The more you learn, the hungrier you are to learn more. You can’t get enough. You begin to crave knowledge and wisdom as much as you used to crave sitting on a couch vegging out to reality shows.

Make your dreams bigger than your memories

Don’t use your words to describe your situation; use your words to change your situation!” – Joel Osteen

It’s one thing to stop speaking negative, debilitating words over yourself, but you’ve got to take it a step further by replacing those words with positive declarations over yourself and your future.

Purge. Prepare. Perfect.

When you get to a place in your life where it appears nothing is going in your favor, your circumstances seem hopeless and you have no indication that things will ever change; however, you say with great assurance, “I BELIEVE” then you better get ready, you are speaking the language of God!

This is a huge foyer.” She spun in a slow circle, taking in the high ceilings. She’d said the word using its French pronunciation, foy-ay. Cletus said it that way. The rest of us said foy-er, like it’s spelled, because we lived in the United States and weren’t pretentious nut jobs. Not that I thought Sarah was a pretentious nut job or made such a judgment about all people based on their pronunciation of that single word. Just Cletus. He said foy-ay and was most definitely a pretentious nut job.

When we clear the clutter, we are not erasing the memories. Holding on means not letting go. God has so much more for your life. You haven’t seen your best days yet, but your clutter could be preventing you from recognizing the new things awaiting you.

To purge means to clear or get rid of an unwanted feeling, memory or condition, or to physically remove something completely. Let’s develop the urge to purge and remove anything that could be dragging you backward so you can be free to move forward.

When your surroundings are infused with memories of the past, you tend to remain in the past. You are prone to keep looking back rather than focusing forward on the new things God has for you.

I am debt-free in Jesus’ name. I attract God-inspired ideas that produce great wealth. Opportunities and resources are headed my way now, in Jesus’ name.” Release the power of God into your pocket book.

Taking responsibility for where you are in life at this moment is your foundation for success. It means you accept responsibility for the things you do and the things you fail to do. Living an excuse-free life starts you on the pathway to success.

Escape for your life! Do not look behind you!

Esos “bárbaros” medievales... Imaginemos que un turista llega a París y decide ver todo lo que se pueda. Solo tiene tres días ya que la exigencia de su “tour” no le permite más. Decide no seguir con el grupo para tener más independencia (y hace bien); abre rápidamente su guía y comienza a ver qué visitará en esa jornada; es tanto lo que tiene para ver que decide cortar por lo sano; se acerca a un parisino que encuentra por la calle y en un aceptable inglés, le pregunta: -  “Buenos días; disculpe por favor... Soy turista y es mi primera vez aquí. Dígame: debo ver París en solo tres días: ¿qué me recomienda Ud.?” El parisino, un joven de apenas 25 años, con barba, boina y un bolso estilo hippie, le dice mientras pita un cigarrillo: -  “No deje de ver ‘La Sainte-Chapelle’, ‘Notre Dame’, el ‘Quartier Latin’, el Museo del Louvre, el de Cluny y la Basílica real de Saint-Denis. ¡Ah...! –agrega– si puede vaya a ver la Tour Eiffel, al menos por afuera”. Y el hippie no se equivoca... sabe que todas aquellas “construcciones medievales” no pueden dejarse de visitar. Es que la “Edad Media” construyó cosas tan horripilantes que incluso hasta el día de hoy existe gente que desea despilfarrar sus ahorros y masacrar sus sentidos con las catedrales góticas y románicas, los manuscritos iluminados, los frescos en las paredes de los claustros o iglesias, la poesía medieval, los cantares de gesta, los vitrales, las esculturas que adornan el interior y el exterior de las casas y edificios, los instrumentos, el canto y la polifonía, etc. Es todo esto lo que un turista que viaje a Europa se obstinará una y otra vez por visitar. ¡Qué masoquistas que somos! Ir a visitar la obra de unos brutos “bárbaros”... Pero... “¿bárbara la Edad Media, que ha construido Sainte-Foy-de-Conques, Cluny y el Thoronet?¿Bárbaros, los tímpanos románicos de Moissac o de Autun?¿Bárbaras las catedrales góticas de Amiens o de Beauvais?¿Bárbaro el Ángel de la sonrisa de Notre-Dame de Reims?¿Bárbaros los vitrales de Chartres o los de la Sainte-Chapelle?¿Bárbaros los manuscritos iluminados, los relicarios, los ostensorios y los vasos litúrgicos, piezas de arte sacro que conmueven todavía hoy a los incrédulos?¿Bárbaros el canto llano gregoriano, la polifonía de Guillermo de Machaut o de Josquin des Prés?¿Bárbaros esos monjes que, concibiendo la gama, el ritmo y la armonía, pusieron las bases de la música occidental? ¿Bárbaros esos clérigos que, en el siglo XIII, fundaron las grandes universidades europeas? ¿Bárbaros esos astrónomos y esos médicos que, a pesar de una técnica limitada, profundizaron el aporte de los griegos y de los árabes, preparando el inicio científico del mundo moderno?”[38]. ¡Qué genios estos bárbaros! –diría Chesterton.

My heart is not a home for cowards. D. ANTOINETTE FOY

Jesus can’t be Lord of your life if He isn’t Lord of your day.

The disciples joined Jesus in His life. They went with Him to weddings, funerals, and dinner parties. To Jesus, discipleship was not an impersonal series of meetings for the purpose of communicating doctrinal information. Discipleship was the process of transmitting His way of life to His friends as they walked through life together.

While I was up there, I happened across a couple of other interesting finds. One , curiously enough, is a portrait of your uncle. Did you put that up there?" He scowled. "No. Foy and Starr must have done, since I ordered the damn thing burned. I'll tell Bell to toss it on the rubbish heap at his earlier convenience." "Yes, well, much as I agree with the sentiments, and believe me I do, I suppose we ought to retain the painting in the interest of family history. I could scribble a note and paste it on the reverse saying what a vile man he is, just so future generations know." He smirked. "Sidney would hate that. Yes, let's do it.

Everybody ends up somewhere in life; a few people end up somewhere on purpose. Those are the ones with vision. —Andy Stanley

Audacity is having nerve, courage, daring, boldness, fearlessness, grit, and the willingness to take risks.

Never confronted Foy at the meetings, because, as he put it, “our people are in dire need of everything except acrimony.

And I never got the chance to explain to Foy and his close-minded ilk that Mark Twain’s truth is that your average black nigger is morally and intellectually superior to the average white nigger, but no, those pompous Dum Dum niggers wanted to ban the word, disinvent the watermelon, snorting in the morning, washing your dick in the sink, and the eternal shame of having pubic hair the color and texture of unground pepper. That’s the difference between most oppressed peoples of the world and American blacks. They vow never to forget, and we want everything expunged from our record, sealed and filed away for eternity. We want someone like Foy Cheshire to present our case to the world with a set of instructions that the jury will disregard centuries of ridicule and stereotype and pretend the woebegone niggers in front of you are starting from scratch.

Foy gave me the same sorrowful look the missionaries must’ve given the jungle heathen. A look that said, It doesn’t matter if you’re too stupid to understand God’s love. He loves you regardless, just hand over the women, the distance runners, and the natural resources.

You know you began to hate liars, but like the rest you can’t remember when that began, either.

DENIAL’S THE GRACE THAT SHELTERS US TILL SHELTER is ourselves.

You know you began to hate liars, but like the rest you can’t remember when that began, either. You know only that you hate liars, you hate cheaters, you hate swindlers and fakes and frauds.

Nobody can think and hit someone at the same time. — Susan Sontag

He was our father, and he fucked us. — Rod Steiger

Because your voice is the most influential voice in your life! If you want to see where your life is headed, listen to the words that are coming out of your mouth.

Normal men have killed perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years. — R.D. Laing

Mary Foy was only eighteen years old when she was hired to replace Connolly. While it is surprising that such a young person would have been considered for the position, the bigger surprise was that this young person was a woman, since in 1880 the library was still an organization run by, and catering to, men. Women were not yet allowed to have their own library cards and were permitted only in the Ladies’ Room. No library in the country had a female head librarian, and only a quarter of all American library employees were women. The feminization of librarianship was still a decade away.

If today was the last day of my life, would I be happy with what I’m about to do?”[8]

So, when negative, fearful, or debilitating thoughts are being entertained in your mind, the key to overcoming them is to start speaking positive, faith-filled words, out loud, out of your own mouth. Yes, I know what you're thinking, "That's crazy!" You might be a little confused if you’ve never spent time learning the power of words. The Bible says, “David encouraged himself in the Lord” (1 Samuel 30: 6, KJV). Interview any successful person and they'll tell you how important positive self-talk is to your success.

The Lord has taught me that it’s not enough to stop saying wrong, negative things; I also had to start saying the right, positive thing. While negative words will keep you from being what God wants you to be, positive words will lead you to where God wants you to go.

Have you ever met an unhappy person who was grateful or a happy person who was ungrateful? Probably not. Expressing gratitude is one of the greatest habits to retrain your mind for success. Recognizing what you have to be grateful for forces your mind to extract the negative and focus on the positive. Arianna Huffington, co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post, wrote, “Gratitude works its magic by serving as an antidote to negative emotions. It’s like white blood cells for the soul, protecting us from cynicism, entitlement, anger, and resignation.”[

Successful people are grateful people. This is where we see the Law of Attraction in action. When you’re grateful, you attract more to be grateful for. The adverse is true as well. When you complain, you attract more to complain about. How do you change a lousy, self-pity, complaining, discouraged attitude? With appreciation. “Say thank you in advance for what’s already yours. That’s how I live my life. That’s one of the reasons I am where I am today.” ~ Denzel Washington

How quaint my imagination has been, she thought. Foy killed it. She showed me too much and destroyed my capacity to dream.

Foy has shown you the image of empires rising and falling. The tension that both binds and repels them is the path of the Way of Light. You are here for a reason, for you are one of its most important avatars.

There is a schism between the north and south of Caradore, because the religion centered around Foy made incursions into Hamagara two thousand years ago. The Hamagarids are the true Caradoreans. They comprise many factions and tribes and have little to do with the south. The southerners derive from ancient clans that moved north from Magravandias. They’ve steered clear of the northern territories for a long time, apart from the occasional intrepid explorer, or some needy soul seeking enlightenment.

Legends say that Foy banished the cockatrice, but in essence he just hid from her.

A date was set for the girls to undergo their rite of passage into the Sisterhood of the Dragon. It would take place on the autumnal equinox, known under the Madragorian beliefs as the Feast of Corg, after one of Madragore’s sons, who was associated with harvest and death. Everna told Pharinet she should now look at Foymeriel. Under dragon lore, this was a female day, when the mute priestesses of Foy, the Dragon Queen, came to reap the land of ripe souls, and take their Bone Lady a youth of fair aspect as a sacrificial husband.

When the dragon women smiled upon you, you could be assured of good fortune, but their anger was swift and without remorse. People feared the daughters of Foy, yet they loved them too, for they were the warriors of Caradore.

A ime will come when Great Foy and her daughters will rise once more, and extinguish the fire that burns the spirit of Caradore. This is our legacy. To this, you must now pledge your oath.

In the days of the Dragon, on this night of Foymoriel, the people brought to this rock the fairest of youths. Here his blood was spilled and cast over the stone. Our silken cloth represents this blood. As the youth lay swooning against the rock, so the women called to the great Foy. She smelled the boy’s blood and came up from the deep to accept the offering.

Tayven knew a lot about Foy, but seemed ignorant of Misk, Jia, and Thrope. Rav didn’t like the way they made him feel. They belonged to him, yet he felt that he belonged to them.

Either the father is The Father, or he’s just some other guy.

Neither can you recall when you began to feel like you were just an absence with skin and hair.

You know only that you hate liars, you hate cheaters, you hate swindlers and fakes and frauds.

You can’t remember the last time you met someone who wasn’t a fake or fraud. You can’t remember the last time you felt what people call “trust.

But worse than hating his father, he hated hating his father. Hating his mother felt like breathing air almost, he had hated her that long.
