Protectiveness Quotes (page 35)

Rick Warren quote: "God sometimes removes a person from your life for your..."
God sometimes removes a person from your life for your protection. Don't run after them. Rick Warren
Because everybody on the school board, and the railroad, and the PTA and paper mill had to be somebody’s mother or father, whether really or as a member of a category; and there was a point at which the reflex to their covering warmth, protection, effectiveness against bad dreams, bruised heads and simple loneliness took over and made worthwhile anger with them impossible. Thomas Pynchon
In two years' time, my scar became pale and shiny and I had no memory of my mother. That is the way it is with a wound. The wound begins to close in on itself, to protect what is hurting so much. And once it is closed, you no longer see what is underneath, what started the pain. Amy Tan
She had begun to read in the beginning as a protection from the frightening and unpleasant things. She continued because, apart from the story, literature brought with it a kind of gentility for which she craved. Patrick White
Winston Churchill quote: "A small lie needs a bodyguard of bigger lies to protect it."
A small lie needs a bodyguard of bigger lies to protect it. Winston Churchill
Orhan Pamuk quote: "My unhappiness protects me from life."
My unhappiness protects me from life. Orhan Pamuk
Only those who truly love and who are truly strong can sustain their lives as a dream. You dwell in your own enchantment. Life throws stones at you, but your love and your dream change those stones into the flowers of discovery. Even if you lose, or are defeated by things, your triumph will always be exemplary. And if no one knows it, then there are places that do. People like you enrich the dreams of the worlds, and it is dreams that create history. People like you are unknowing transformers... Ben Okri
Remember that rights are moral principles which define and protect a man's freedom of action, but impose no obligations on other men. Ayn Rand
And Harry saw very clearly as he sat there under the hot sun how people who cared about him had stood in front of him one by one, his mother, his father, his godfather, and finally Dumbledore, all determined to protect him; but now that was over. He could not let anybody else stand between him and Voldemort; he must abandon forever the illusion he ought to have lost at the age of one, that the shelter of a parent’s arms meant that nothing could hurt him. There was no waking from this... J. K. Rowling
Maybe that's what we do to the people we love: take shots in the dark and realize too late that we've wounded the people we are trying to protect. Jodi Picoult
Dorothy L. Sayers quote: "He was being about as protective as a can-opener."
He was being about as protective as a can-opener. Dorothy L. Sayers

O heavenly Father, protect and bless all thingsthat have breath: guard themfrom all evil and let them sleep in peace. Albert Schweitzer
He who advances without seeking fame, Who retreats without escaping blame, He whose one aim is to protect his people and serve his lord, The man is a jewel of the Realm Sun Tzu
I'm up there trying to do my Chore. I've got the men's bathroom. There's something... Pat there's something in the toilet up there. That won't flush. The thing. It won't go away. It keeps reappearing. Flush after flush. I'm only here for instructions. Possibly also protective equipment. I couldn't even describe the thing in the toilet. All I can say is if it was produced by anything human then I have to say I'm worried. Don't even ask me to describe it. If you want to go up and have a look,... David Foster Wallace
Education, if it means anything, should not take people away from the land, but instill in them even more respect for it, because educated people are in a position to understand what is being lost. The future of the planet concerns all of us, and all of us should do what we can to protect it. As I told the foresters, and the women, you don't need a diploma to plant a tree. Wangari Maathai
