Stately Quotes (page 9)

When I have seen by Time's fell hand defaced The rich proud cost of outworn buried age; When sometime lofty towers I see down-razed And brass eternal slave to mortal rage; When I have seen the hungry ocean gain Advantage on the kingdom of the shore, And the firm soil win of the watery main, Increasing store with loss and loss with store; When I have seen such interchange of state, Or state itself confounded to decay; Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate, That Time will come and take my love... William Shakespeare
Frederic Bastiat quote: "Everyone wants to live at the expense of the state. They..."
Everyone wants to live at the expense of the state. They forget that the state lives at the expense of everyone. Frederic Bastiat

In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of thecat, although in this case there were three determinate states the catcould be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious. Terry Prachett
Jennifer Weiner quote: "You should be concerned about the state of your soul, not the..."
You should be concerned about the state of your soul, not the state of your bank account. Jennifer Weiner

It's no surprise that appeals to a state of mind called faith can relieve symptoms caused, at least in part, by another, perhaps not very different state of mind. Carl Sagan
Only thought is capable of inventing the fiction of a State that is universal by right, of elevation the State to the level of de jure universality Gilles Deleuze
In its rational form [dialectic] is a scandal and abomination to bourgeoisdom and its doctrinaire professors, because it includes in its comprehension and affirmative recognition of the existing state of things, at the same time also, the recognition of the negation of that state, of its inevitable breaking up; because it regards every historically developed social form as in fluid movement, and therefore takes into account its transient nature not less than its momentary existence because it... Karl Marx
The self is coming from a state of pure awareness from the state of being. All the rest that comes about in a outward manifesation of the physical world, including fluctuations which end up as thoughts and actions Aldous Huxley
1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C. Clarke
I go from exasperation to a state of collapse, then I recover and go from prostration to Fury, so that my average state is one of being annoyed. Gustave Flaubert
Emile M. Cioran quote: "The state of health is a state of nonsensation, even..."
The state of health is a state of nonsensation, even nonreality. As soon as we cease to suffer, we cease to exist. Emile M. Cioran
And this disease was called The Loneliness, because when you saw your home town dwindle to the size of your fist and then lemon-size and then pin-size and vanish in the fire-wake, you felt you had never been born, there was no town, you were nowhere, with space all around, nothing familiar, only other strange men. And when the state of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, or Montana vanished into cloud seas, and, doubly, when the United States shrank to a misted island and the entire planet Earth became... Ray Bradbury
The kind of hope that I often think about…I understand above all as a state of mind, not a state of the world. Either we have hope within us, or we don’t. It is a dimension of the soul It’s not essentially dependent upon some particular observation of the world or estimate of the situation. Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out. Vaclav Havel
