Us Quotes (page 248)

Believe in yourselves. Believe in your capacity to do some good in this world. God sent us here for a purpose, and that was to improve the world in which we live. The wonderful thing is that we can do it. Gordon B. Hinckley
We learned not to meet anymore, We don't raise our eyes to one another, But we ourselves won't guarantee. What could happen to us in an hour. Anna Akhmatova
Heinrich Heine quote: "But that age? exerts on us. An almost terrible charm, Like the..."
But that age? exerts on us. An almost terrible charm, Like the memory of things seen. And a life lived in dreams. Heinrich Heine
The help which tends to make us spiritually strong is the highest help, next to it comes intellectual help and after that comes physical help. Swami Vivekananda
Unless a film of flesh envelops us, we die. Man exists only insofar as he is separated from his surroundings. The cranium is a space-traveler's helmet. Stay inside or you perish. Death is divestment, death is communion. Vladimir Nabokov
The two men who have done the greatest harm to the world are Christ and Columbus. Christ taught us guilt and sacrifice, to live only in the other world, and Columbus discovered America and materialism. Anais Nin
But one thing I have to say about Darcy and dating is this: she never blew us off for a guy. She always put her friends first- which is an amazing thing for a high school girl to do. Emily Giffin
Czeslaw Milosz quote: "All of us yearn for the highest wisdom, but we have to rely on..."
All of us yearn for the highest wisdom, but we have to rely on ourselves in the end. Czeslaw Milosz
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? The cycles of heaven in twenty centuries have bought us farther from God and nearer to the dust T. S. Eliot
Michel de Montaigne quote: "Every movement reveals us."
Every movement reveals us. Michel de Montaigne
Wolves are not our brothers; they are not our subordinates, either. They are another nation, caught up just like us in the complex web of time and life. Henry Beston
None of us should be ashamed to speak of our class power or lack of it. Overcoming fear, even the fear of being immodest, and acting courageously to bring issues of class- especially radical standpoints – into the discourse of blackness is a gesture of militant defiance, one that runs counter to bourgeois insistence that we think of “money” in particular and class in general as private matters. Bell Hooks
Though we have rightly applauded our ancestors for their spiritual achievements (and do not and must not discount them now), those of us who prevail today will have done no small thing. The special spirits who have been reserved to live in this time of challenges and who overcome will one day be praised for their stamina by those who pulled handcarts. Neal A. Maxwell
There was always something about our family, and I don't mean color--there was something about us that impeded you. You think like a prisoner. You do, Coleman Brutus. You're white as snow and you think like a slave. Philip Roth
It is my secrecy which makes you unhappy, my evasions, my silences. And so I have found a solution. Whenever you get desperate with my mysteries, my ambiguities, here is a set of Chinese puzzle boxes. You have always said that I was myself a Chinese puzzle box. When you are in the mood and I baffle your love of confidences, your love of openness, your love of sharing experiences, then open one of the boxes. And in it you will find a story, a story about me and my life. Do you like this idea?... Anais Nin
