No Compromise is what the whole Gospel of Jesus is all about... 'For I tell you...no man can serve two masters...' (Matt. 6:24). In a day when believers seem to be trying to please both the world and the Lord (which is an impossible thing), when people are far more concerned about offending their friends than offending God, there is only one answer...Deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him!

The secret of tango is in this moment of improvisation that happens between step and step. It is to make the impossible thing possible: to dance silence.
Carlos Gavito
The mystery of tango lies within the fleeting moment of impromptu that transpires between steps. It is to make the inconceivable seem attainable: to dance stillness.

In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd.
Miguel de Cervantes
'In order to realize the improbable, one must venture the outrageous.'
4.
Many pilots of the time were the opinion that a fighter pilot in a closed cockpit was an impossible thing, because you should smell the enemy. You could smell them because of the oil they were burning.
Adolf Galland
5.
It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.
Muhammad Ali

Never tell a young person that anything cannot be done. God may have been waiting centuries for someone ignorant enough of the impossible to do that very thing.
G. M. Trevelyan
8.
Reverence, human of the Earth, is the fundamental element of all existence, so it is therefore also the fundamental element of love itself, which is built on this all-embracing reverence. And since this is so in truth, it is also an impossible thing that love, once awakened and built up in truthfulness, can ever weaken again and become cold, or could transform into hate or be annihilated.
Billy Meier
9.
Happiness is the most natural thing in the world when you have it, and the slowest, strangest, most impossible thing when you don't. It's like learning a foreign language: You can think about the words all you want, but you'll never be able to speak it until you suck up your courage and say them out loud.
Dan Wells
10.
We are not filled with the Spirit of God to do easy things. He fills us with His Spirit so we can do impossible things.
Joyce Meyer
12.
We need never refrain from asking anything of God simply on the ground that we think it impossible. God specializes in "impossible" things that are too good to be true.
Carroll Eugene Simcox
13.
They're asking women to do impossible things. I don't believe women can carry a pack, live in a foxhole, or go a week without a bath.
William Westmoreland

Because it is one thing to have free immigration to jobs. It is another thing to have free immigration to welfare. And you cannot have both. If you have a welfare state, if you have a state in which every resident is promises a certain minimal level of income, or a minimum level of subsistence, regardless of whether he works or not, produces it or not. Then it really is an impossible thing.
Milton Friedman
15.
To the timid and hesitating everything is impossible because it seems so.
Walter Scott
16.
Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing
Muhammad Ali

I try to take care
and be gentle to them.
Words and eggs must be handled with care.
Once broken they are impossible things to repair.
Anne Sexton
18.
The question should not be 'What would Jesus do?' but rather, more dangerously, 'What would Jesus have me do?' The onus is not on Jesus but on us, for Jesus did not come to ask semidivine human beings to do impossible things. He came to ask human beings to live up to their full humanity; he wants us to live in the full implication of our human gifts, and that is far more demanding.
Peter J. Gomes

If I haven't thought about six impossible things before breakfast, I consider the day wasted.
Walt Disney
20.
When people complain of life, it is almost always because they have asked impossible things of it.
Ernest Renan
21.
The impossible often has a kind of integrity which the merely improbable lacks.
Douglas Adams
24.
I perceive a necessary gap between seeing and being. I would not be able to have said certain things if I had been under the obligation to unify the word and the deed. As it is I can let my words reach out and net impossible things - things that are impossible for me to do. And this is a way to pay the price for saying or seeing things.
Norman O. Brown
25.
When I started, I wanted to be thought of as tortured and seductive, not funny, but humor tends to be a reflexive part of a person's sensibility. It's an almost impossible thing to teach anyone, which leads me to believe that it's intuitive.
Mark Leyner

1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. 2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. 3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Arthur C. Clarke
27.
No one ever gets far unless he accomplishes the impossible at least once a day.
Elbert Hubbard
28.
Today is [the feast of] Santa Rita, Patron Saint of impossible things - but this seems impossible: let us ask of her this grace, this grace that all, all, all people would do good and that we would encounter one another in this work, which is a work of creation, like the creation of the Father. A work of the family, because we are all children of God, all of us, all of us! And God loves us, all of us! May Santa Rita grant us this grace, which seems almost impossible. Amen.
Pope Francis
29.
The terrible thing, the almost impossible thing, is to hand over your whole self--all your wishes and precautions--to Christ. But it is far easier than what we are all trying to do instead. For what we are trying to do is to remain what we call "ourselves," to keep personal happiness as our great aim in life, and yet at the same time be "good.
C. S. Lewis

The terrible thing, the almost impossible thing, is the hand over your whole self--all your wishes and precautions--to Christ.
C. S. Lewis
31.
A symptom of the revolution: When we state something is impossible in theory, but then change our minds when we discover that it is possible in practice.
Seth Godin
32.
The Self in you is the same as the Self Universal. Whatever powers are manifested throughout the world, those powers exist in germ, in latency, in you.... If you realize the unity of the Self amid the diversities of the Not-Self, then Yoga Will not seem an impossible thing to you.
Annie Besant
33.
Never give up on something you really want. However impossible things seem, there's always a way.
Sophie Kinsella
34.
It would be stupid of me to rule out ever being the leader because that's an impossible thing to rule out. I can't predict future events.
John Key
35.
Forgiving is tough. Excusing is easy. What a mistake it is to confuse forgiving with being mushy, soft, gutless, and oh, so understanding. Before we forgive, we stiffen our spine and we hold a person accountable. And only then, in tough-minded judgment, can we do the outrageously impossible thing: we can forgive.
Lewis B. Smedes
36.
Think you've seen it all? Think again. Outside those doors, we might see anything. We could find new worlds, terrifying monsters, impossible things. And if you come with me... nothing will ever be the same again!
Steven Moffat
37.
If people are crazy enough to dare, impossible things happen.
Richard Branson

Once we see Jesus, the impossible things He does in our lives become as natural as breathing.
Oswald Chambers
39.
We all want to believe in impossible things, I suppose, to persuade ourselves that miracles can happen.
Paul Auster
40.
Watching people react, watching people be inspired, be taken on a journey, forgetting their problems, looking ahead in their own lives to doing impossible things. That's kind of what drives me, gives me a sense of focus.
David Copperfield
41.
War seems a perfectly impossible thing, even when it can be seen coming nearer and nearer.
Cornelia Meigs
42.
In fantasy, impossible things exist. In science fiction, impossible things exist and can be understood by humans. In supernatural horror, impossible things exist and cannot live in peace with humans.
Will Shetterly
43.
Impossible things are simply those which so far have never been done.
Elbert Hubbard
44.
Out of the sea will rise Behemoth and Leviathan, and sail 'round the high-pooped galleys... Dragons will wander about the waste places, and the phoenix will soar from her nest of fire into the air. We shall lay our hands upon the basilisk, and see the jewel in the toad's head. Champing his gilded oats, the Hippogriff will stand in our stalls, and over our heads will float the Blue Bird singing of beautiful and impossible things, of things that are lovely and that never happen, of things that are not and that should be.
Oscar Wilde
45.
There are many things that are unbelievable. Especially before breakfast, is it not? That is what one of your classics says. Six impossible things before breakfast.
Agatha Christie
46.
To be and to be creative are synonymous. It is impossible to be and not to be creative. But that impossible thing has happened, that ugly phenomenon has happened, because all your creative sources have been plugged, blocked, destroyed, and your whole energy has been forced into some activity that the society thinks is going to pay.
Rajneesh
47.
There was a hysteria in there, certainly, but there was also the exhaustion of someone who had managed, somehow, to believe several dozen impossible things in the last twenty-four hours, without ever getting a proper breakfast.
Neil Gaiman
48.
Democracy is an impossible thing until the power is shared by all, but let not democracy degenerate into mobocracy.
Mahatma Gandhi
49.
Children are the proof we've been here . . . they're where we go to when we die. They're the best thing and the most impossible thing, but there's nothing else . . . Life is a riddle and they are the answer. If there's any answer, it has to be them.
Allison Pearson

Something about the topic of consciousness makes people, like the White Queen in Through The Looking Glass, believe six impossible things before breakfast.
Steven Pinker
