Nearer Quotes (page 5)

My child, the troubles and temptations of your life are beginning, and may be many; but you can overcome and outlive them all if you learn to feel the strength and tenderness of your Heavenly Father as you do that of your earthly one. The more you love and trust Him, the nearer you will feel to Him, and the less you will depend on human power and wisdom. His love and care never tire or change, can never be taken from you, but may become the source of lifelong peace, happiness, and strength.... Louisa May Alcott
Look underfoot. You are always nearer to the true sources of your power than you think. The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are. Don't despise your own place and hour. Every place is the center of the world. John Burroughs
The gods have been good to you. But what the gods give they quickly take away. You have only a few years in which to live really, perfectly, and fully. When your youth goes, your beauty will go with it, and then you will suddenly discover that there are no triumphs left for you, or have to content yourself with those mean triumphs that the memory of your past will make more bitter than defeats. Every month as it wanes bring you nearer to something dreadful. Time is jealous of you, and wars... Oscar Wilde
All music is what awakes within uswhen we are reminded by the instruments; It is not the violins or the clarinets -It is not the beating of the drums -Nor the score of the baritone singinghis sweet romanza; not that of the men's chorus, Nor that of the women's chorus -It is nearer and farther than they Walt Whitman
The lesson which life constantly repeats is to 'look under your feet.' You are always nearer to the divine and the true sources of your power than you think. The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are. Do not despise your own place and hour. Every place is under the stars. Every place is the center of the world. John Burroughs
Eric Liddell quote: "We are all missionaries. Wherever we go we either bring..."
We are all missionaries. Wherever we go we either bring people nearer to Christ or we repel them from Christ. Eric Liddell
They seemed nearer, not only mentally, but physically when they read ... Their chance was to make everything fine and finished and rich and imaginative; they must bend tiny golden tentacles from his imagination to hers, that would take the place of the great, deep love that was never so near, yet never so much of a dream. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Francois de La Rochefoucauld quote: "Our enemies come nearer the truth in the opinions they form of..."
Our enemies come nearer the truth in the opinions they form of us than we do in our opinion of ourselves. Francois de La Rochefoucauld
There are manifold tones of mental life, or, in other words, our psychic life may be lived at different heights, now nearer to action, now further removed from it, according to the degree of our attention to life. Henri Bergson
C. S. Lewis quote: "And after all, our mythology may be much nearer to literal..."
And after all, our mythology may be much nearer to literal truth than we suppose. C. S. Lewis
Stories worked much the same way…A false note at the beginning was much more costly than one nearer the end because early errors were part of the foundation. Richard Russo
Keith Richards quote: "Its called a playground, but its nearer to a battlefield. It..."
Its called a playground, but its nearer to a battlefield. It can be brutal Keith Richards
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "Less keen and lofty was the delight, but deeper and nearer to..."
Less keen and lofty was the delight, but deeper and nearer to mortal heart; marvelous and yet not strange. J. R. R. Tolkien
The speech we hear is an indication of that which we don't hear. It is a necessary avoidance, a violent, sly, and anguished or mocking smoke screen which keeps the other in its true place. When true silence falls we are left with echo but are nearer nakedness. One way of looking at speech is to say that it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness. Harold Pinter
As the storm came nearer I began to realize that I hadn't made the most of my three years' immunity. In fact, I hadn't done a single thing about cleaning up my life. I was, if anything, an even more logical target for lightning than the last time I was in range. And thunderstorms don't creep up on you at seven o'clock in the morning in a non-thunderstorm country for nothing, you know. I lined up a rather panicky schedule of reforms...But as the storm suddenly petered out and went off in the... Robert Benchley
