Ought Quotes (page 11)

We ought to contemplate providence not as curious and fickle persons are wont to do but as a ground of confidence and excitement to prayer. When he informs us that the hairs of our head are all numbered it is not to encourage trivial speculations but to instruct us to depend on the fatherly care of God which is exercised over these frail bodies. John Calvin
Suzanne Collins quote: "Someone ought to get Haymitch a drink."
Someone ought to get Haymitch a drink. Suzanne Collins
He would never want to diminish that event, that blow. It was nothing less than a calamity. It has shrunk his world, turned him into a prisoner. But escaping death ought to have shaken him up, opened windows inside him, renewed his sense of the preciousness of life. It has done nothing of the sort. He is trapped with the same old self as before , only greyer and drearier. Enough to drive one to drink. J. M. Coetzee
Henry Alford quote: "Life is so short, So Fast The Lone Hours Fly, We Ought To Be..."
Life is so short, So Fast The Lone Hours Fly, We Ought To Be Together, You and I Henry Alford
This is why Paul upholds the teaching of the gospel in such a forceful way ... Seeing such an example and such a picture of man’s great weakness and fickleness, Paul states that the truth of the gospel must supersede anything that we may devise … he is showing us that we ought to know the substance of the doctrine which is brought to us in the name of God, so that our faith can be fully grounded upon it. Then we will not be tossed about with every wind, nor will we wander about aimlessly,... John Calvin
Certain things, they should stay the way they are. You ought to be able to stick them in one of those big glass cases and just leave them alone. J. D. Salinger
What does it mean to be yourself?” he asked. “If it means to do what you think you ought to do, then you’re doing that already. If it means to act like you’re exempt from society’s influence, that’s the worst advice in the world; you would probably stop bathing and wearing clothes. The advice to ‘be yourself’ is obviously nonsense. But our brains accept this tripe as wisdom because it is more comfortable to believe we have a strategy for life than to believe we have no idea how to behave. Scott Adams
I don't feel any vulgar gratitude to you[for helping me]. I almost feel as if You ought to be grateful to ME, for giving you the opportunity of enjoying the luxury of generosity. . . I may have come into the world expressly for the purpose of increasing your stock of happiness. I may have been born to be a benefactor to you, by giving you an opportunity of assisting me. Charles Dickens
Jeff Cooper quote: "There ain't many troubles that a man caint fix. With seven..."
There ain't many troubles that a man caint fix. With seven hundred dollars and a thirty ought six. Jeff Cooper
What I write is different from what I say, what I say is different from what I think, what I think is different from what I ought to think and so it goes further into the deepest darkness. Franz Kafka
It’s all right to tell a man to lift himself by his own bootstraps, but it is cruel jest to say to a bootless man that he ought to lift himself by his own bootstraps. Martin Luther King jr.
In God's scheme what is a few billion years here and there. Perhaps there have come and gone a dozen human civilizations in the past billion years that we know nothing about. And after this civilization we are living in destroys itself, it will all start up again in a million years when the planet has all its messes cleaned up. Then, finally, one of these civilizations, say five billion years from now, will last because people treat each other the way they ought to. Leon Uris
Unfortunates, who ought to begin with God, do not have any hope in him till they have exhausted all other means of deliverance. Alexander Dumas
If, of all words of tongue and pen, The saddest are, 'It might have been,'More sad are these we daily see:'It is, but hadn't ought to be. Bret Harte
To be shockingly original with your first novel, you don’t have to discover a new technique: Simply write about people as they are and not as the predominantly liberal and humanist literary establishment believes that they ought to be. John Braine
