Understands Quotes (page 132)

The golden rule for understanding spiritually is not intellect, but obedience. If a man wants scientific knowledge, intellectual curiosity is his guide; but if he wants insight into what Jesus Christ teaches, he can only get it by obedience. Oswald Chambers
Anyone who is too lazy to master the comparatively small glossary necessary to understand Chaucer deserves to be shut out from the reading of good books forever. Ezra Pound
It's only now that I realize that behaviour always has a context and precedents, it's what you do rather than what you are, although we often never recognise that context or understand what these precedents are. Irvine Welsh
...But the truth us that no person ever understands another, from beginning to end of life, there is no truth that can be known, only the story we imagine to be true, the story they really believe to be true about themselves; and all of them lies. Orson Scott Card
Tennessee Williams quote: "I think that hate is a feeling that can only exist where there..."
I think that hate is a feeling that can only exist where there is no understanding. Tennessee Williams
Passion does not blind. No. Passion is sanity, and the woman you love, she is the only person you will ever really understand. E. M. Forster
Evelyn Waugh quote: "To understand all is to forgive all."
To understand all is to forgive all. Evelyn Waugh
A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is alright. This is common sense really. You understand sleep when you are awake, not well you are sleeping. C. S. Lewis
Exultation is the going. Of an inland soul to sea. Past the houses, past the headlands. Into deep eternity! Bred as we, among the mountains. Can the sailor understand. The divine intoxication. Of the first league out from land? Emily Dickinson
Despite his title, the Secretary of the Interior was a shallow man. He was given to surfaces, not depths; to cortex, not medulla; to the puff, not the cream. He didn't understand the interior of anything: not the interior of a tenor sax solo, a painting or a poem; not the interior of an atom, a planet, a spider or his wife's body; not the interior, least of all, of his own heart and head. Tom Robbins
Especially now when views are becoming more polarized, we must work to understand each other across political, religious and national boundaries. Jane Goodall
I was at a loss suddenly; but conscious all the while of how Armand listened; that he listened in the way that we dream of others listening, his face seeming to reflect on every thing said. He did not start forward to seize on my slightest pause, to assert an understanding of something before the thought was finished, or to argue with a swift, irresistible impulse -- the things which often make dialogue impossible. And after a long interval he said, 'I want you. I want you more than anything... Anne Rice
One might be led to suspect that there were all sorts of things going on in the Universe which he or she did not thoroughly understand. Kurt Vonnegut
The terms we use for what is considered supernatural are woefully inadequate. Beyond such terms as ghost, specter, poltergeist, angel, devil, or spirit, might there not be something more our purposeful blindness has prevented us from understanding? We accept the fact that there may be other worlds out in space, but might there not be other worlds here? Other worlds, in other dimensions, coexistent with this? If there are other worlds parallel to ours, are all the doors closed? Or does one,... Louis L'Amour
William Goldman quote: "I understand everything? he said."
I understand everything? he said. William Goldman
