Often Quotes (page 90)

You often say,'I would give, but only to the deserving.'The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture. They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish. Surely he who is worthy to receive his days and his nights, is worthy of all else from you. And he who has deserved to drink from the ocean of life deserves to fill his cup from your little stream. Khalil Gibran
Real strength never impairs beauty or harmony, but it often bestows it, and in everything imposingly beautiful, strength has much to do with the magic. Herman Melville
Erich Maria Remarque quote: "It is very queer that the unhappiness of the world is so often..."
It is very queer that the unhappiness of the world is so often brought on by small men. Erich Maria Remarque
Don DeLillo quote: "That which we fear to touch is often the very fabric of our..."

Most of us are called on to perform tasks far beyond what we can do. Our capabilities seldom match our aspirations, and we are often woefully unprepared. To this extent, we are all Assistant Pig-Keepers at heart. Lloyd Alexander
In a morbid condition, dreams are often distinguished by their remarkably graphic, vivid, and extremely lifelike quality. The resulting picture is sometimes monstrous, but the setting and the whole process of the presentation sometimes happen to be so probable, and with details so subtle, unexpected, yet artistically consistent with the whole fullness of the picture, that even the dreamer himself would be unable to invent them in reality, though he were as much an artist as Pushkin or... Fyodor Dostoevsky
I was at a loss suddenly; but conscious all the while of how Armand listened; that he listened in the way that we dream of others listening, his face seeming to reflect on every thing said. He did not start forward to seize on my slightest pause, to assert an understanding of something before the thought was finished, or to argue with a swift, irresistible impulse -- the things which often make dialogue impossible. And after a long interval he said, 'I want you. I want you more than anything... Anne Rice
I am often asked the question How can the masses permit themselves to be exploited by the few. The answer is By being persuaded to identify with them. E. L. Doctorow
Schoolboys are a merciless race, individually they are angels, but together, especially in schools, they are often merciless. Fyodor Dostoevsky
In face of this modern nihilism, Christians are often lacking in courage. We tend to give the impression that we will hold on to the outward forms whatever happens, even if God really is not there. But the opposite ought to be true of us, so that people can see that we demand the truth of what is there and that we are not dealing merely with platitudes. In other words, it should be understood that we take this question of truth and personality so seriously that if God were not there we would... Francis Schaeffer
Our will is always for our own good, but we do not always see what that is; the people is never corrupted, but it is often deceived..." (Bk2:3) Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Idries Shah quote: "Enemies are often former or potential friends who have been..."
Enemies are often former or potential friends who have been denied - or think that they have been denied - something. Idries Shah
Appearances are not reality; but they often can be a convincing alternative to it. You can control appearances most of the time, but facts are what they are. When the facts are too sharp, you can craft a cheerful version of the situation and cover the facts the way that you can covered a battered old four-slice toaster with a knitted cozy featuring images of kittens. Dean Koontz
Terry Tempest Williams quote: "Word by word, the language of women so often begins with a..."
Word by word, the language of women so often begins with a whisper. Terry Tempest Williams
Ouida quote: "He mistook, as the cleverest men often do mistake, in..."
He mistook, as the cleverest men often do mistake, in underrating the cruelty of women. Ouida
