Better Quotes (page 175)

He said that men believe the blood of the slain to be of no consequence but that the wolf knows better. He said that the wolf is a being of great order and that it knows what men do not: that there is no order in this world save that which death has put there. Cormac McCarthy
What difference does it make after all?--anonymity in the world of men is better than fame in heaven, for what’s heaven? what’s earth? All in the mind. Jack Kerouac
Some people prefer solitude. They say their peace of mind depends on this. Others say they would be better off in church. If you do well, you do well wherever you are. If you fail, you fail wherever you are. Your surroundings don't matter. God is with you everywhere -- in the market place as well as in seclusion or in the church. If you look for nothing but God, nothing or no one can disturb you. God is not distracted by a multitude of things. Nor can we be. Meister Eckhart
...Meg learned to love her husband better for his poverty, because it seem to have made a man of him, giving him the strength and courage to fight his own way, and taught him a tender patience with which to bear and comfort the natural longings and failures of those he loved. Louisa May Alcott
Would it not be better to be dead than to have this horrible fear that Aslan has come and is not like the Aslan we have believed in and longed for? It is as if the sun rose one day and were a black sun. C. S. Lewis
Somewhere in the archives of crudest instinct is recorded the truth that it is better to be endangered and free than captive and comfortable. Tom Robbins
When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn't make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmares still walking. When we hold each other we feel not safe, but better. "It's all right" we whisper, "I'm here, I love you." and we lie: "I'll never leave you." For just a moment or two the darkness doesn't seem so bad. Neil Gaiman
David O. McKay quote: "The purpose of the church is to make bad men good and good men..."
The purpose of the church is to make bad men good and good men better. David O. McKay
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "It is better to do the smallest thing in the world than to..."
It is better to do the smallest thing in the world than to hold half an hour to be too small a thing. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In the realm of the unknown, difficulties must be viewed as a hidden treasure! Usually, the more difficult, the better. It's not as valuable if your difficulties stem from your own inner struggle. But when difficulties arise out of increasing objective resistance, that's marvelous! Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is always difficult to make the transition to a modern world. I moved from the world of faith to the world of reason - from the world of excision and forced marriage to the world of secual emancipation. Having made that journey, I know that one of those worlds is simply better than the other. Not because of its flashy gadgets, but fundamentally, because of its values. The message of this book, if it must have a message, is that we in the West would be wrong to prolong the pain of that... Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Money can't buy you friends, but you do get a better class of enemy. Spike Milligan
So I say a name, even if self-bestowed, is better than a number. In the register of the potter's field I shall soon have both. What wealth! Ambrose Bierce
The race is now on between the technoscientific and scientific forces that are destroying the living environment and those that can be harnessed to save it. . . . If the race is won, humanity can emerge in far better condition than when it entered, and with most of the diversity of life still intact. E. O. Wilson
Michel de Montaigne quote: "Let us give Nature a chance; she knows her business better..."
Let us give Nature a chance; she knows her business better than we do. Michel de Montaigne
