Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Anthony Marra
Mom says death is as natural as birth, and it's all part of the life cycle.
She says we don't really understand it, but there are many things we don't understand, and we just have to do the best we can with the knowledge we have.
I guess that makes sense. ~ Bill Watterson

HOBBES: From Susie Derkins!
CALVIN: It says "Please be my Valentine."
HOBBES: You're Susie's Valentine!
CALVIN: I'm not her Valentine just because I got this in the mail, am I? Does the Post Master General know about this?
HOBBES: Calvin and Susie, sitting in a tree-ee! Kay-eye-ess-ess-eye-en-gee!
CALVIN: I don't have the KISS her, do I?! Is that what Valentines do??! Oh, gross!
HOBBES: First comes lo-ove, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage!
CALVIN: This can't be happening! I need a lawyer! She can't make me be her Valentine!
HOBBES: Here she comes! Here comes Susie!
SUSIE: Hi, Calvin.
CALVIN: Get away from me! I'm not your Valentine! Take your card back! Eww! Girls! YECCHH!
SUSIE: That card wasn't for YOU, you Moron. Didn't you read the back of the envelope?
CALVIN: "Calvin, please give this to Hobbes." HOBBES?!

Calvin: 957. ~ Bill Watterson

Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Bill Watterson
Today for show & tell, I've brought in some flash cards I made. Each card has a letter followed by several dashes. When I show the card, you yell out the vulgar, obscene or blasphemous word they stand for! ... Ready? ... She's such a hypocrite about building vocabulary. ~ Bill Watterson
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Bill Watterson

Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Bill Griffith
How touching to have the meaning of Christmas brought to us by cola, fast food and beer conglomerates. Who'd have ever guessed product consumption, popular entertainment and spirituality would mix so harmoniously. It's a beautiful world, all right. ~ Bill Watterson
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Bill Watterson
Life is like topography, Hobbes. There are summits of happiness and success, flat stretches of boring routine and valleys of frustration and failure. ~ Bill Watterson
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Bill Watterson
The purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure pure reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog! ~ Bill Watterson
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Bill Watterson
Everyone says how Calvin and Hobbes is about a real kid, to me there's nothing real about it; it's an adult using a kid's body as a mouthpiece. ~ Bill Griffith
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Bill Griffith
I never felt ostracized or made to feel strange by obsessing over 'The Onion' or 'Calvin and Hobbes.' That was considered completely normal. ~ Simon Rich
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Simon Rich

Mom's not feeling well. So I'm making her a get well card."

"Sure, I'm hungry too ~ Bill Watterson
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Bill Watterson

I have all these great genes, but they're recessive. That's the problem here. ~ Bill Watterson
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Bill Watterson
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day. ~ Bill Watterson
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Bill Watterson
Oh lovely snowball, packed with care, smack a head that's unaware! Then with freezing ice to spare, melt and soak through underwear! Fly straight and true, hit hard and square! This, oh snowball, is my prayer. I only throw consecrated snowballs. ~ Bill Watterson
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Bill Watterson
This is where dad burried the little raccoon.
I don't even know he existed a few days ago and now he's gone forever. It's like I found him for no reason. I had to say good-bye as soon as I said hello.
Still ... in a sad, awful, terrible way, I'm happy I met him.
What a stupid world. ~ Bill Watterson
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Bill Watterson
You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don't help. ~ Bill Watterson

Calvin and Hobbes are the only two characters from my childhood reading that I return to with any regularity, and they have grown with me, yielding newer and deeper meaning. ~ Anthony Marra
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Anthony Marra
Calvin:"It says here that 'religion is the opiate of the masses.' ... what do you suppose that means?"

Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Bill Watterson
He who is most deeply abased and alarmed, by the consciousness of his disgrace, nakedness, want, and misery, has made the greatest progress in the knowledge of himself. ~ John Calvin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by John Calvin
The invention of the arts, and other things which serve the common use and convenience of life, is a gift of God by no means to be despised, and a faculty worthy of commendation. ~ John Calvin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by John Calvin
While I do see lots of repetitious writing among authors, that does not apply to all, and certainly not to me. Average minds think alike, but unique minds do not. ~ Calvin W. Allison
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Calvin W. Allison
Miss Wormwood: Calvin, your test was an absolute disgrace! It's obvious you haven't read any of the material. Our first president was not Chef Boy-Ar-Dee and you ought to be ashamed to have turned in such preposterous answers!
Calvin: I just don't test well. ~ Bill Watterson
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Bill Watterson
Below them the town was laid out in harsh angular patterns. The houses in the outskirts were all exactly alike, small square boxes painted gray. Each had a small, rectangular plot of lawn in front, with a straight line of dull-looking flowers edging the path to the door. Meg had a feeling that if she could count the flowers there would be exactly the same number for each house. In front of all the houses children were playing. Some were skipping rope, some were bouncing balls. Meg felt vaguely that something was wrong with their play. It seemed exactly like children playing around any housing development at home, and yet there was something different about it. She looked at Calvin, and saw that he, too, was puzzled. ~ Madeleine L'Engle
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Madeleine L'Engle
Lincoln was raised in the thick of Old School Calvinism. In Kentucky and Indiana, his parents belonged to a fire-breathing sect called Separate Baptism, in which congregants heard - in the tradition of Jonathan Edward's famous sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" - that they were bound for eternal hellfire, and nothing they could do or say or think would change their fate. Preachers did allow that a chosen few were ordained for grace and would be saved, but these fortunate ones had been selected by God before time began. As one Baptist preacher in Lincoln's Kentucky explained it, "Long before the morning stars sang together . . . the Almighty looked down upon the ages yet unborn, as it were, in review before him, and selected one here and another there to enjoy eternal life and left the rest to the blackness of darkness forever." Such Baptist ministers were so intense that it has been said that they "out-Calvined Calvin. ~ Joshua Wolf Shenk
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Joshua Wolf Shenk
God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation. ~ John Calvin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by John Calvin
When God descends to us he, in a certain sense, abases himself and stammers with us, so He allows us to stammer with Him ~ John Calvin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by John Calvin
The Catholic Inquisition is well-known for its persecutions, but the Protestants were no better. An infamous example of Protestant evil, an example given by Thomas Jefferson, is the execution of Michael Servetus. A Spanish physician, Servetus wrote that the doctrine of the Trinity makes no sense, that it contradicts the idea that there is only one God. Servetus was condemned to die by the Catholic Inquisition, but he wasn't present, so they couldn't kill him. He had fled to Protestant Switzerland, expecting to be protected there. Instead, the city leaders in Geneva, with the approval of John Calvin (one of the great fathers of Protestant thought) and other Protestant leaders across Europe, had Servetus burned alive (with green wood to give him longer to repent) in 1553. ~ Russ Kick
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Russ Kick
They who prematurely put themselves forward to root out whatever is displeasing to them overthrow the judgment of God and rashly intrude upon the office of angels. ~ John Calvin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by John Calvin
Only those who have learned well to be earnestly dissatisfied with themselves, and to be confounded with shame at their wretchedness truly understand the Christian gospel. ~ John Calvin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by John Calvin
The poor man yields to the rich, the plebeian to the noble, the servant to the master, the unlearned to the learned, and yet every one inwardly cherishes some idea of his own superiority. ~ John Calvin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by John Calvin
The food in such places is so tasteless because the members associate spices and garlic with just the sort of people they're trying to keep out. ~ Calvin Trillin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Calvin Trillin
And this is the evidence of faith that we never allow ourselves to be torn away from Christ and the promises we have in him. The ~ John Calvin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by John Calvin
the living voice of God does not sound, pomp and ceremony, however elaborately observed, are like empty phantoms. So, we should see that papacy is so much wind. ~ John Calvin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by John Calvin
The thoughts from a finite mind can at times be very similar to the clouds that move about over the surface of the earth. Both can cover a lot of ground, and can either disperse or increase in formation. Likewise - both are heavily influenced by the surrounding climate. Furthermore - a hard wind increases a fire's spread, thunder proceeds a lightning strike, and when atmospheric water vapor accumulates, it produces clouds. Then, after an abundance of water has been condensed, the clouds will at some point release moisture; the rain/precipitation amount will range from the degree of abundance condensed.
Similarly: an abundance of thoughts can also accumulate - eventually resulting in an overflow of emotion. The overflow can either be positive or negative - the determining factor relying on the characterization of the thoughts - whether they be positive or negative. ~ Calvin W. Allison
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Calvin W. Allison
All the arts come from God and are to be respected as divine inventions ~ John Calvin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by John Calvin
Therefore, in reading profane authors, the admirable light of truth displayed in them should remind us, that the human mind, however much fallen and perverted from its original integrity, is still adorned and invested with admirable gifts from its Creator. If we reflect that the Spirit of God is the only fountain of truth, we will be careful, as we would avoid offering insult to him, not to reject or condemn truth wherever it appears. In
despising the gifts, we insult the Giver. ~ John Calvin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by John Calvin
We are too solicitous for government intervention, on the theory, first, that the people themselves are helpless, and second, that the Government has superior capacity for action. Often times both of these conclusions are wrong. ~ Calvin Coolidge
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Calvin Coolidge
Men are indeed to be taught that the favour of God is offered, without exception, to all who ask it; but since those only begin to ask whom heaven by grace inspires, even this minute portion of praise must not be withheld from Him. It is the privilege of the elect to be regenerated by the Spirit of God, and then placed under His guidance and government. ~ John Calvin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by John Calvin
Governments do not make ideals, but ideals make governments. This is both historically and logically true. Of course the government can help to sustain ideals and can create institutions through which they can be the better observed, but their source by their very nature is in the people. The people have to bear their own responsibilities. There is no method by which that burden can be shifted to the government. It is not the enactment, but the observance of laws, that creates the character of a nation. ~ Calvin Coolidge
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Calvin Coolidge
I've always thought of God as the only first-rate artist. There's so much that's miraculous about us - the way three tiny bones in our ears can process sound waves, for instance; and around us his perfect hand has painted the greatest masterpiece, the ecology of nature with its balance and precision, the way it can juxtapose competing forces into something harmonious. Stop and look sometime at the beauty of a weeping willow - I can go on and on ~ James Calvin Schaap
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by James Calvin Schaap
My grandmother was amazing. She completely believed in me and was very encouraging. She would go to the supermarket or the butcher or wherever and tell people, 'My grandson is going to be the next Calvin Klein.' ~ Marc Jacobs
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Marc Jacobs
All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work. ~ Calvin Coolidge
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Calvin Coolidge
Lily asked Calvin to play dolls with her. He reluctantly joined her on the floor, but it soon became Chuck Norris meets Joy doll and she was going down repeatedly. Lily, scandalized, pouted, but began to retaliate. Oh no you don't, Chuck! I'm Piper, psycho Barbie! ~ Shelly Crane
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Shelly Crane
It is hypocrisy alone that leads men to be careless about themselves, [240] and haughtily to despise others. ~ John Calvin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by John Calvin
As if all of that hadn't been enough, I had foolishly chosen to wear a brand-new pair of Jimmy Choo mules to school, purchased at a fraction of their normal retail cost at an outlet over the summer. They were gorgeous, and they went perfectly with the Calvin Klein black denim skirt I had paired with a hot pink scoop-neck top.
But of course they were killing me. I already had raw, painful blisters around the bases of all my toes, and the Band-Aids the nurse had given me to cover them so that I could at least hobble between classes were not exactly doing the job. My feet felt like they were about to fall off. If I'd known where Jimmy Choo lived, I would have hobbled right up to his front door and popped him one in the eye. ~ Meg Cabot
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Meg Cabot
We see how mankind, without well thinking what they are doing, pursue, with impetuous and ardent affections, the transitory things of this world; but, in thus catching at the empty shadow of a happy life, they lose true happiness itself. In ~ John Calvin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by John Calvin
Without the Gospel everything is useless and vain. ~ John Calvin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by John Calvin
In regard to the present question, while it explains what our duty is it teaches that the power of obeying it is derived from the goodness of God, and it accordingly urges us to pray that this power may be given us. ~ John Calvin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by John Calvin
This is as good a time as any to comment on what I think has grown into an abuse. Congress makes holidays and every time there isa holiday it is the practice for one department to telephone over to another department and say we are going to have an extra holiday in this department and what is your department going to do about it ... If it comes on Saturday, they want a holiday on Friday, and of course they couldn't come back and travel on Sunday and so they want another holiday on Monday to get back on. ~ Calvin Coolidge
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Calvin Coolidge
There are always those who are willing to surrender local self-government and turn over their affairs to some national authority in exchange for a payment of money out of the Federal Treasury. Whenever they find some abuse needs correction in their neighborhood, instead of applying the remedy themselves they seek to have a tribunal sent on from Washington to discharge their duties for them, regardless of the fact that in accepting such supervision they are bartering away their freedom. ~ Calvin Coolidge
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Calvin Coolidge
Since God has descended to us in swaddling clothes and in hanging on a cross, we should not consider any calling menial or unimportant. When Christ - the God of the universe - wrapped a towel around his waist to wash his disciples' feet, Calvin observes, he dignified the humblest callings. No one and no service is "beneath us" if it benefits others. ~ Michael S. Horton
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Michael S. Horton
Choosing Luther and Calvin instead of the spiritual reformers who were their contemporaries, Protestant Europe got the kind of theology it liked. But it also got, along with other unanticipated by-products, the Thirty Years' War, capitalism and the first rudiments of modern Germany. If ~ Aldous Huxley
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Aldous Huxley
If you see 10 troubles coming down the road, you can be sure 9 will go in the ditch and you have only one to battle with. ~ Calvin Coolidge
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Calvin Coolidge
And from this followeth another law: that such things as cannot
be divided be enjoyed in common, if it can be; and if the quantity
of the thing permit, without stint; otherwise proportionably to the
number of them that have right. ~ Thomas Hobbes
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Thomas Hobbes
Indeed, a Christian ought to be disposed and prepared to keep in mind that he has to reckon with God every moment of his life. ~ John Calvin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by John Calvin
At American weddings, the quality of the food is in inverse proportion to the social position of the bride and groom. ~ Calvin Trillin
Calvin And Hobbes quotes by Calvin Trillin
Holiness is not a merit by which we can attain communion with God, but a gift of Christ, which enables us to cling to him, and to follow him. ~ John Calvin
