Calls Quotes - II

2. Our soul is cast into a body, where it finds number, time, dimension. Thereupon it reasons, and calls this nature necessity, and can believe nothing else. - Blaise Pascal

3. My focus had always been the on-side. My coach wanted me to work on the offside strokes since he was convinced of my ability and timing on the leg side.

10. The Holy Book calls upon Muslims to resist tyranny. Dictatorships in Pakistan, however long, have, therefore, always collapsed in the face of this spirit. - Benazir Bhutto

11. My husband doesn't text... It's always phone calls. I like that because you hear the voice the old-fashioned way. - Melania Trump

12. The good name of the United Nations is one of its most valuable assets - but also one of its most vulnerable.
