Men Quotes (page 132)

Now in history there is no Revolution that is not a Restoration. Among the many things that leave me doubtful about the modern habit of fixing eyes on the future, none is stronger than this: that all the men in history who have really done anything with the future have had their eyes fixed upon the past. Gilbert K. Chesterton
When Christianity proscribed the public exercise of the ancient worships, the partisans of the latter were compelled to meet in secret for the celebration of their mysteries. Initiates presided over these assemblies and soon established a kind of orthodoxy among the varieties of persecuted worships, this being facilitated by the aid of magical truth and by the fact that proscription unites wills and forges bonds of brotherhood between men. Eliphas Levi
The surface of the earth is soft and impressible by the feet of men ; and so with the paths which the mind travels. How worn and dusty, then, must be the highways of the world, how deep the ruts of tradition and conformity. Henry David Thoreau
L. M. Montgomery quote: "It is not," Valency could hear her mother's prim, dictatorial..."
It is not," Valency could hear her mother's prim, dictatorial voice asserting, "it is not MAIDENLY to think about MEN. L. M. Montgomery
The Friendship is not a reward for our discrimination and good taste in finding one another out. IT is the instrument by which God reveals to each the beauties of all the others. They are no greater than the beauties of a thousand other men; by Friendship God opens our eyes to them. They are, like all beauties, derived from Him, and then, in a good Friendship, increased by Him through the Friendship itself, so that it is His instrument for creating as well as for revealing. At this feast... C. S. Lewis
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "Teach to the young, men's enduring truths, and let the learned..."
Teach to the young, men's enduring truths, and let the learned amuse themselves with their passing errors. Gilbert K. Chesterton
- What is essential is invisible to the eye - the little prince repeated, so as to be sure to remember.- It is the time you lavished on your rose which makes your rose so important.- It is the time I lavished on my rose... - said the little prince, so as to be sure to remember.- Men have forgotten this basic truth - said the fox. - But you must not forget it. For what you have tamed, you become responsible forever. You are responsible for you rose...- I am responsible for my rose.. - the... Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Nelson Mandela quote: "n Mens het letterkunde in jou lewe nodig, want daarsonder gaan..."
n Mens het letterkunde in jou lewe nodig, want daarsonder gaan jy agteruit. Nelson Mandela
William Shakespeare quote: "O monstrous! eleven buckram men grown out of two!"
O monstrous! eleven buckram men grown out of two! William Shakespeare
Jordan Baker instinctively avoided clever, shrewd men, and now I saw that this was because she felt safer on a plane where any divergence from a code would be thought impossible. She was incurably dishonest. She wasn't able to endure being at a disadvantage and, given this unwillingness, I suppose she had begun dealing in subterfuges when she was very young in order to keep that cool, insolent smile turned to the world and yet satisfy the demands of her hard, jaunty body. F. Scott Fitzgerald
(John Bold said): If an action is the right one, personal feelings must not be allowed to interfere. Of course I greatly like Mr Harding, but that is no reason for failing in my duty to those old men. Anthony Trollope
If that which we have found is the corruption of solitude, then what can men wish for save corruption? If this is the great evil of being alone, than what is good and what is evil? Ayn Rand
Something in one's heart takes fright, not at the thought of growing old, not at feeling one's youth used up in this mineral universe, but at the thought that far away the whole world is ageing. The trees have brought forth their fruit; the grain has ripened in the fields; the women have bloomed in their loveliness. But the season is advancing and one must make haste; but the season is advancing and still one cannot leave; but the season is advancing...and other men will glean the harvest. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The men poured gasoline on them and burned them alive, having no remedy for evil but only for the image of it as they conceived it to be. Cormac McCarthy
Whether you look at no men at all, or look at every single one - itcomes to the same thing. You can throw yourself at their hearts, because you've gone mad from being always a stranger; from not beingable to understand how you can even bear to hold their hands in yourown any longer than you have to. Robert Musil
