Difficult Quotes (page 29)

God does hear and answer prayers. I have never doubted that fact. From childhood, at my mother's knee where I first learned to pray; as a young man in my teens; as a missionary in foreign lands; as a father; as a Church leader; as a government official, I know without question that it is possible for men and women to reach out in humility and prayer and tap that Unseen Power; to have prayers answered. "Man does not stand along, or, at least, he need not stand alone. Prayer will open... Ezra Taft Benson
George Orwell quote: "Stupidity was as necessary as intelligence, and as difficult..."
Stupidity was as necessary as intelligence, and as difficult to attain. George Orwell
For it will be very difficult to persuade men of sense that he who with dry eyes and satisfaction of mind can deliver his brother to the executioner to be burnt alive, does sincerely and heartily concern himself to save that brother from the flames of hell in the world to come. John Locke
To each, or about each, of his colleagues he had said at one time or other, something... something impossible to recall in this or that case and difficult to define in general terms -- some careless bright and harsh trifle that had grazed a stretch of raw flesh. Vladimir Nabokov
Uncomplicated birth seems to be the blueprint for coping with all later difficult situations in life. Various complications, such as prolonged and debilitating delivery, the use of forceps, or heavy anesthesia appear to be correlated to specific problems in dealing with future projects of all kinds. The same is true for induced birth, premature delivery, and Caesarean section. Stanislav Grof
Life's very difficult and full of surprises. At all events, I've got as far as that. To be humble and kind, to go straight ahead, to love people rather than pity them, to remember the submerged--well, one can't do all these things at once, worse luck, because they're so contradictory. It's then that proportion comes in--to live by proportion. Don't begin with proportion. Only prigs do that. Let proportion come in as a last resource, when the better things have failed... E. M. Forster
it was like any other relationship, there wasjealousy on both sides, there were split-ups and reconciliations. there were also fragmented moments ofgreat peace and beauty. I often tried to get away from her andshe tied to get away from mebut it was difficult: Cupid, in his strange way, was reallythere. Charles Bukowski

The most difficult thing in the world is to know how to do a thing and to watch someone else do it wrong without comment. T. H. White
Lao Tzu quote: "The difficult problems in life always start off being simple...."
The difficult problems in life always start off being simple. Great affairs always start off being small. Lao Tzu
Audre Lorde quote: "Unless one lives and loves in the trenches, it is difficult to..."
Unless one lives and loves in the trenches, it is difficult to remember that the war against dehumanization is ceaseless. Audre Lorde
Sometimes when I'm alone. I Cry, Cause I am on my own. The tears I cry are bitter and warm. They flow with life but take no form. I Cry because my heart is torn. I find it difficult to carry on. If I had an ear to confide in, I would cry among my treasured friend, but who do you know that stops that long, to help another carry on. The world moves fast and it would rather pass by. Then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad. And sometimes... I Cry and no one cares about why. Tupac Shakur
He looked at her as a man might look at a faded flower he had plucked, in which it was difficult for him to trace the beauty that had made him pick and so destroy it Leo Tolstoy
Eric Linklater quote: "But I find it difficult to recognize people. Human beings are..."
But I find it difficult to recognize people. Human beings are so much alike. Eric Linklater
It seems to me if you add music (and books, probably, and films, and plays, and anything that makes you feel) at the center of your being, then you can't afford to sort out your love life, start to think of it as the finished product. You've got to pick at it, keep it alive and in turmoil, you've got to pick at it and unravel it until it all comes apart and you're compelled to start all over again. Maybe we live life at too high a pitch, those of us who absorb emotional things all day, and as... Nick Hornby
Learning to read is probably the most difficult and revolutionary thing that happens to the human brain and if you don't believe that, watch an illiterate adult try to do it. John Steinbeck
