Preparation Quotes (page 32)

Art too is just a way of living, and however one lives, one can, without knowing, prepare for it; in everything real one is closer to it, more its neighbor, than in the unreal half-artistic professions, which, while they pretend to be close to art, in practice deny and attack the existence of all art - as, for example, all of journalism does and almost all criticism and three quarters of what is called (and wants to be called) literature. Rainer Maria Rilke
And if I let a gust of wind or a sprinkling of rain turn me aside from these easy tasks, what preparation would such sloth be for the future I propose to myself? Charlotte Bronte
What God may hereafter require of you, you must not give yourself the least trouble about. Everything He gives you to do, you must do as well as ever you can, and that is the best possible preparation for what He may want you to do next. If people would but do what they have to do, they would always find themselves ready for what came next. George MacDonald
Menander quote: "Man must be prepared for every event of life, for there is..."
Man must be prepared for every event of life, for there is nothing that is durable. Menander
One more time? For the audience?" he says. His voice isn't angry. It's hollow, which is worse. Already the boy with the bread is slipping away from me. I take his hand, holding on tightly, preparing for the cameras, and dreading the moment when I will finally have to let go. Suzanne Collins
Ronald Reagan quote: "Please tell me you're Republicans. (to doctors preparing to..."
Please tell me you're Republicans. (to doctors preparing to operate after assassination attempt) Ronald Reagan
You have to resign yourself to the fact that you waste a lot of trees before you write anything you really like, and that's just the way it is. It's like learning an instrument, you've got to be prepared for hitting wrong notes occasionally, or quite a lot, cause I wrote an awful lot before I wrote anything I was really happy with. And read a lot. Reading really helps. Read anything you can get your hands on. J. K. Rowling
Joel Osteen quote: "we can not prepare for defeat and expect to live a life in..."
we can not prepare for defeat and expect to live a life in Victory. Joel Osteen
Dean Koontz quote: "In the wind, the trees, like agitated lions preparing to roar,..."
In the wind, the trees, like agitated lions preparing to roar, shook their great green manes. Dean Koontz
Charles Dickens quote: "Sudden shifts and changes are no bad preparation for political..."
Sudden shifts and changes are no bad preparation for political life. Charles Dickens
He said that it was very difficult to become an astronaut. I said that I knew. You had to become an officer in the air force and you had to take lots of orders and be prepared to kill other human beings, and I couldn't take orders. Also I didn't have 20/20 vision, which you needed to be a pilot. Mark Haddon
Marcus Tullius Cicero quote: "To study philosophy is nothing but to prepare one’s self to die."
To study philosophy is nothing but to prepare one’s self to die. Marcus Tullius Cicero
Perhaps the most terrible (or wonderful) thing that can happen to an imaginative youth, aside from the curse (or blessing) of imagination itself, is to be exposed without preparation to the life outside his or her own sphere - the sudden revelation that there is a there out there. Tom Robbins
He reached up and out with both arms to shoot his cuffs, and for an instant he might have served to illustrate the crucial step in a manual on the seizing of days. He had already seized this particular day once, but he was prepared, if need be, to go ahead and seize the motherfucker all over again. Michael Chabon
It is an edged clich that the world is most pleasant in the years of a Waning Sun. It is true that the weather is not so driven, that everywhere there is a sense of slowing down, and most places experience a few years where the summers do not burn and the winters are not yet overly fierce. It is the classic time of romance. It's a time that seductively beckons higher creatures to relax, postpone. It's the last chance to prepare for the end of the world. Vernor Vinge
