Us Quotes (page 18)

I cannot believe that the most delicious things were placed here merely to test us, to temp us, to make it the more difficult for us to capture the grand prize: the safety of the void. To fashion of life such a petty game is unworthy of both men and gods. Tom Robbins
What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more. Sure he that made us with such large discourse, looking before and after, gave us not that capability and god-like reason to fust in us unused. William Shakespeare
By the truth we are undone. Life is a dream. 'Tis the waking that kills us. He who robs us of our dreams robs us of our life. Virginia Woolf
As scientific truths put us in an intelligent relaton with the cosmos, as historic truth puts us in temporal relation with the rise and fall of civilization, so does Christ put us in intelligent relation with God the Father; for He is the only possible Word by which God can address Himself to a world of sinners. Fulton J. Sheen
It is a blessing for us that, as sin lives, and the flesh lives, and the devil lives, so Jesus lives. It is also a blessing that, whatever strength these may have to ruin us, Jesus has still greater power to save us. Charles Spurgeon
In some precious and personal moments there are brief, sudden surges of recognition of an immortal insight, a doctrinal deja vu. These flashes from the mirror of memory can remind us and inspire us, especially in the midst of life's taxing telestial traffic jams, which can otherwise cause us to grow weary and faint in our minds. Neal A. Maxwell
Now let us sport us while we may, And now, like amorous birds of prey, Rather at once our time devour. Than languish in his slow-chapt power. Let us roll all our strength and all. Our sweetness up into one ball, And tear our pleasures with rough strife. Thorough the iron gates of life: Thus, though we cannot make our sun. Stand still, yet we will make him run. Andrew Marvell
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "The devil takes us to the top of an exceeding high mountain..."
The devil takes us to the top of an exceeding high mountain and makes us dizzy; but God lets us look at the mountain. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Stephen Covey quote: "It's not what happens to us, but our response to what happens..."
It's not what happens to us, but our response to what happens to us that hurts us. Stephen Covey
The enemy is in front of us, the enemy is behind us, the enemy is to the right and to the left of us. They can't get away this time! Douglas MacArthur
We can't stop the world, but there's so much more that we could do. You can't stop this girlfrom falling more in love with you. You said nobody has to know Give us time to grow, and take it slowbut I'd stop the world if it finally let us be alone. Let us be alone oooo ohhh oh Demi Lovato
A Friend is one who incessantly pays us the compliment of expecting from us all the virtues, and who can appreciate them in us. Henry David Thoreau
Don’t you, when strangers and friends come to call, straighten the cushions, kick the books under the bed and put away the letter you were writing? How many of us want any of us to see us as we really are? Isn’t the mirror hostile enough? Jeanette Winterson
I hear from afar the shouts of that false wisdom which is ever dragging us onwards, counting the present as nothing, and pursuing without pause a future which flies as we pursue, that false wisdom which removes us from our place and never brings us to any other. Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Bless them that persecute you.' If our enemy cannot put up with us any longer and takes to cursing us, our immediate reaction must be to lift up our hands and bless him. Our enemies are the blessed of the Lord. Their curse can do us no harm. May their poverty be enriched with all the riches of God, with the blessing of Him whom they seek to oppose in vain. We are ready to endure their curses so long as they redound to their blessing. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
