You know from past experiences that whenever you have been driven to the wall, or thought you were, you have extricated yourself in a way which you never would have dreamed possible had you not been put to the test. The trouble is that in your everyday life you don't go deep enough to tap the divine mind within you. Orson Welles quotes There is, nevertheless, a certain respect and a general duty of humanity that ties us, not only to beasts that have life and sense, but even to trees and plants. Michel de Montaigne quotes There is always inequity in life. Some men are killed in a war, and some men are wounded, and some men are stationed in the Antarctic and some are stationed in San Francisco. It's very hard in military or personal life to assure complete equality. Life is unfair. John Fitzgerald Kennedy quotes Caresses, expressions of one sort or another, are necessary to the life of the affections as leaves are to the life of a tree. If they are wholly restrained, love will die at the roots. Nathaniel Hawthorne quotes I regret that I have but one life to give for my country. Nathaniel Hawthorne quotes Life is sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating. Ogden Nash quotes I despise making the most of one's time. Half of the pleasures of life consist of the opportunities one has neglected. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. quotes If you do not feel yourself growing in your work and your life broadening and deepening, if your task is not a perpetual tonic to you, you have not found your place. Orison Sweet Marden quotes No man is beaten until his hope is annihilated, his confidence gone. As long as a man faces life hopefully, confidently, triumphantly, he is not a failure; he is not beaten until he turns his back on life. Orison Sweet Marden quotes There is no course of life so weak and sottish as that which is managed by order, method, and discipline. Michel de Montaigne quotes |
