Quotes For Him (page 300)

Only the man who follows the command of Jesus single-mindedly, and unresistingly lets his yoke rest upon him, finds his burden easy, and under its gentle pressure receives the power to persevere in the right way. The command of Jesus is hard, unutterably hard, for those who try to resist it. But for those who willingly submit, the yoke is easy, and the burden is light. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The deaf who deny they are deaf will never hear; the sinners who deny there is sin deny thereby the remedy of sin, and thus cut themselves off forever from Him Who came to redeem. Fulton J. Sheen
Robert Penn Warren quote: "If you want him to do it, you've got to change the picture of..."
If you want him to do it, you've got to change the picture of the world inside his head. Robert Penn Warren
When I grow up I mean to be. A Lion large and fierce to see. I'll mew so loud that Cook in fright Will give me all the cream in sight. And anyone who dares to say'Poor Puss' to me will rue the day. Then having swallowed him I'll creep. Into the Guest Room Bed to sleep. Oliver Herford
The sun which warms the plant can under other conditions also wither it. The rain which nourishes the flower can under other conditions rot it. The same sun shines upon mud that shines upon wax. It hardens the mud but softens the wax. The difference is not in the sun, but in that upon which it shines. The Divine Life which shines upon a soul that loves Him, softens it into everlasting life; that same Divine Life which shines upon the slothful soul, neglectful of God, hardens it into... Fulton J. Sheen
Every decent man in America ought to swoon with joy for the opportunity to crush with his heel the woolly head of this black lizard, to keep him from scuttling on his belly farther over the earth and spitting forth his venom of death! Richard Wright
A. Whitney Brown quote: "There is a little boy inside the man who is my brother... Oh,..."
There is a little boy inside the man who is my brother... Oh, how I hated that little boy. And how I love him too. A. Whitney Brown
When he thought of her, it rather amazed him, that he had let that girl with her violin go. Now, of course, he saw that her self-effacing proposal was quite irrelevant. All she had needed was the certainty of his love, and his reassurance that there was no hurry when a lifetime lay ahead of them. Love and patience- if only he had had them both at once- would surely have seen them both through. Ian Mcewan
John Steinbeck quote: "And he didn't get tired or sleepy, for the beauty burned in..."
And he didn't get tired or sleepy, for the beauty burned in him like fire. John Steinbeck
Thomas More quote: "A pretty face may be enough to catch a man, but it takes..."
A pretty face may be enough to catch a man, but it takes character and good nature to hold him. Thomas More
Misner walked away from the pulpit, to the rear wall of the church. There he stretched, reaching up until he was able to unhook the cross that hung there. He carried it then, past the empty choir stall, past the organ where Kate sat, the chair where Pulliam was, on to the podium and held it before him for all to see - if only they would. . . . Without this sign, the believer's life was confined to praising God and taking the hits. The praise was credit; the hits were interest due on a debt... Toni Morrison
If a composer suffers from loss of sleep and his sleeplessness induces him to turn out masterpieces, what a profitable loss it is! Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Everyone rushes wherever his instincts impel him, the populace swarms like insects over a corpse, poets pass by without having the time to sculpt their thoughts, hardly have they scribbled their ideas down on sheets of paper than the sheets are blown away; everything glitters and everything resounds in this masquerade, beneath its ephemeral royalties and its cardboard scepters, gold flows, wine cascades, cold debauchery lifts her skirts and jigs around…horror! horror! and then there hangs... Gustave Flaubert
James Joyce quote: "Deal with him, Hemingway!"
Deal with him, Hemingway! James Joyce
Valor consists in the power of self-recovery, so that a man cannot have his flank turned, cannot be out-generalled, but put him where you will, he stands. This can only be by his preferring truth to his past apprehension of truth; and his alert acceptance of it, from whatever quarter; the intrepid conviction that his laws, his relations to society, his Christianity, his world may at any time be superseded and decease. Ralph Waldo Emerson
