Buts Quotes (page 615)

Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' Say not, ' I have found the path of the soul.' Say rather, 'I have met the soul walking upon my path.' For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals. Khalil Gibran
Time is very slow for those who wait. Very fast for those who are scaredvery long for those who lament Very short for those who celebrate. But for those who love time is eternal William Shakespeare
The fact is always obvious much too late, but the most singular difference between happiness and joy is that happiness is a solid and joy a liquid. J. D. Salinger
Authority is supposedly grounded in wisdom, but I could see from a very early age that authority was only a system of control and it didn't have any inherent wisdom. I quickly realised that you either became a power or you were crushed Joe Strummer
E. M. Forster quote: "It is fate that I am here,' George persisted, 'but you can..."
It is fate that I am here,' George persisted, 'but you can call it Italy if it makes you less unhappy. E. M. Forster
Industrial tourism is a threat to the national parks. But the chief victims of the system are the motorized tourists. They are being robbed and robbing themselves. So long as they are unwilling to crawl out of their cars they will not discover the treasures of the national parks and will never escape the stress and turmoil of the urban-suburban complexes which they had hoped, presumably, to leave behind for a while. Edward Abbey
It is a strange thing, but when you are dreading something, and would give anything to slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding up. J. K. Rowling
This is what I thought: for the most banal even to become an adventure, you must (and this is enough) begin to recount it. This is what fools people: a man is always a teller of tales, he sees everything that happens to him through them; and he tries to live his own life as if he were telling a story. But you have to choose: live or tell. Jean-Paul Sartre
Bill Cosby quote: "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is..."
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone. Bill Cosby
You may be sure that we are as well aware as you of the difficulty of contending against your power and fortune, unless the terms be equal. But we trust that the gods may grant us fortune as good as yours, since we are just men fighting against unjust, and that what we want in power will be made up by the alliance of the Lacedaemonians, who are bound, if only for very shame, to come to the aid of their kindred. Our confidence, therefore, after all is not so utterly irrational. Thucydides
Then came the march past the victims. The two men were no longer alive. Their tongues were hanging out, swollen and bluish. But the third rope was still moving: the child, too light, was still breathing... And so he remained for more than half an hour, lingering between life and death, writhing before our eyes. And we were forced to look at him at close range. He was still alive when I passed him. His tongue was stillred, his eyes not yet extinguished. Behind me, I heard the same man... Elie Wiesel
When I looked, I knew I might never again see so much of the earth so beautiful, the beautiful being something you know added to something you see, in a whole that is different from the sum of its parts. What I saw might have been just another winter scene, although an impressive one. But what I knew was that the earth underneath was alive and that by tomorrow, certainly by the day after, it would be all green again. So what I saw because of what I knew was a kind of death with the marvellous... Norman Maclean
Cause there was a side to you that I never knew, never knew. All the things you'd say they were never true, never true, And all the games you played you would alway win, always win. But I set fire to the rain! Adele
I won’t lie. I want to beat the hell out of any man who’s had you—you’d be smart to keep them the hell away from me—but nothing in your past can change how I feel about you. Sylvia Day
Lewis Grizzard quote: "On a New York subway you get fined for spitting, but you can..."
On a New York subway you get fined for spitting, but you can throw up for nothing. Lewis Grizzard
