Counsel Quotes (page 3)

Neglecting to ask God's counsel, neglecting to seek God's timing, you step in to *handle* things. And by and by, you've got a mess on your hands. Charles R. Swindoll
There are voices crying what must be done, a hundred, a thousand voices. But what do they help if one seeks for counsel, for one cries this, and one cries that, and another cries something that is neither this nor that. Alan Paton
Seek for the Sword that was broken. In Imladris it dwells; There shall be counsels taken. Stronger than Morgul-spells. There shall be shown a token. That Doom is near at hand, For Isuldur's Bane shall waken, And the halfling forth shall stand. J. R. R. Tolkien
But thus I counsel you, my friends: Mistrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful. They are people of a low sort and stock; the hangmen and the bloodhound look out of their faces. Mistrust all who talk much of their justice! Verily, their souls lack more than honey. And when they call themselves the good and the just, do not forget that they would be pharisees, if only they had—power. Friedrich Nietzsche
Many more people could ride out the storm-tossed waves in their economic lives if they had their year's supply of food…and were debt-free. Today we find that many have followed this counsel in reverse: they have at least a year's supply of debt and are food-free. Thomas S. Monson
If the counsel of the peaceniks had been followed, Kuwait would today be the nineteenth province of Iraq. Bosnia would be a trampled and cleansed province of Greater Serbia, Kosovo would have been emptied of most of its inhabitants, and the Taliban would still be in power in Afghanistan. Yet nothing seems to disturb the contented air of moral superiority of those that intone the "peace movement". Christopher Hitchens
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "Hail, Lord and Steward of Minas Tirith, Denethor son of..."
Hail, Lord and Steward of Minas Tirith, Denethor son of Ecthelion! I am come with counsel and tidings in this dark hour. J. R. R. Tolkien
I can’t hope to convey the full effect of the embraces and avowals, but I can perhaps offer a crumb of counsel. If there is anybody known to you who might benefit from a letter or a visit, do not on any account postpone the writing or the making of it. The difference made will almost certainly be more than you have calculated Christopher Hitchens
She meant I was hungover. I had been slaughtered, legless, trolleyed, slashed, shredded, plastered, polluted, pissed. I thought, I do love my country's relationship with alcohol. How would I ever exist in the United States? I suppose I would have grief counselling instead. (77) Peter Carey
George R. R. Martin quote: "Only lies offend me, never honest counsel."
Only lies offend me, never honest counsel. George R. R. Martin
Edmund Spenser quote: "Vntroubled night they say giues counsell best."
Vntroubled night they say giues counsell best. Edmund Spenser
Better that right counsels be known to enemies than that the evil secrets of tyrants should be concealed from the citizens. They who can treat secretly of the affairs of a nation have it absolutely under their authority; and as they plot against the enemy in time of war, so do they against the citizens in time of peace. Baruch Spinoza
Clifford, except for Phoebe's more active instigation, would ordinarily have yielded to the torpor which had crept through all his modes of being, and which sluggishly counselled him to sit in his morning chair, till eventide. Nathaniel Hawthorne
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and..."
Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes. J. R. R. Tolkien
That is the purpose for which you are called hither. Called, is say, though I have not called you to me, strangers from distant lands. You have come and are here met, in this very nick of time, by chance as it may seem. Yet it is not so. Believe rather that it is so ordered that we, who sit here, and none others, must now find counsel for the peril of the world. J. R. R. Tolkien
