Thirst Quotes

Louisa May Alcott quote: "thirst is harder to bear than hunger, heat, or cold."
thirst is harder to bear than hunger, heat, or cold. Louisa May Alcott
Thirst was made for water; inquiry for truth. What you now call the free play of inquiry has neither more nor less to do with the ends for which intelligence was given you than masturbation has to do with marriage. C. S. Lewis
A Robin said: The Spring will never come, And I shall never care to build again. A Rosebush said: These frosts are wearisome, My sap will never stir for sun or rain. The half Moon said: These nights are fogged and slow, I neither care to wax nor care to wane. The Ocean said: I thirst from long ago, Because earth's rivers cannot fill the main. — When Springtime came, red Robin built a nest, And trilled a lover's song in sheer delight. Grey hoarfrost vanished, and the Rose with might Clothed... Christina G. Rossetti
George Eliot quote: "I thirsted for the unknown: the thirst is gone. O God, let me..."
I thirsted for the unknown: the thirst is gone. O God, let me stay with the known, and be weary of it: I am content. George Eliot
A. J. Jacobs quote: "You tell them you have a hunger and a thirst. You don't sit at..."
You tell them you have a hunger and a thirst. You don't sit at the same table but you have a hunger and a thirst. A. J. Jacobs
O love, whose lordly hand Has bridled my desires, And raised my hunger and my thirst To dignity and pride, Let not the strong in me and the constant Eat the bread or drink the wine That tempt my weaker self. Let me rather starve, And let my heart parch with thirst, And let me die and perish, Ere I stretch my hand To a cup you did not fill, Or a bowl you did not bless. Khalil Gibran
Victor Hugo quote: "Monsieur' to a convict is a glass of water to a man dying of..."
Monsieur' to a convict is a glass of water to a man dying of thirst at sea; ignominy thirsts for respect. Victor Hugo
The key to Christian living is a thirst and hunger for God. And one of the main reasons people do not understand or experience the sovereignty of grace and the way it works through the awakening of sovereign joy is that their hunger and thirst for God is so small. John Piper
Khalil Gibran quote: "Is not dread of thirst when your well is full, the thirst that..."
Is not dread of thirst when your well is full, the thirst that is unquenchable? Khalil Gibran
Thomas Shepard quote: "There is in true grace an infinite circle: a man by thirsting..."
There is in true grace an infinite circle: a man by thirsting receives, and receiving thirsts for more. Thomas Shepard
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.' Not only do the followers of Jesus renounce their rights, they renounce their own righteousness too. They get no praise for their achievements or sacrifices. They cannot have righteousness except by hungering and thirsting for it (this applies equally to their own righteousness and to the righteousness of God on Earth), always they look forward to the future righteousness of God, but they cannot establish... Dietrich Bonhoeffer
This is what one thirsts for, I realize, after the smallness of the day, of work, of details, of intimacy - even of communication, one thirsts for the magnitude and universality of a night full of stars, pouring into one like a fresh tide. Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil. For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst? Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts it drinks even of dead waters. Khalil Gibran
Seeing that our thirst was increasing and the water was killing us, while the storm did not abate, we agreed to trust to God, Our Lord, and rather risk the perils of the sea than wait there for certain death from thirst. Alvar N. C. de Vaca
The remedy for thirst? It is the opposite of the one for a dog bite: run always after a dog, he'll never bite you; drink always before thirst, and it will never overtake you. Francois Rabelais
