Way Quotes (page 294)

A good debater is not necessarily an effective vote-getter: you can find a hole in your opponent's argument through which you could drive a coach and four ringing jingle bells all the way, and thrill at the crystallization of a truth wrung out from a bloody dialogue - which, however, may warm only you and your muse, while the smiling paralogist has in the meantime made votes by the tens of thousands. William F. Buckley, Jr.
The pain comes from more than the facts of circumstance, or the deeds of others. It comes from within. From understanding what we lost. It comes from knowing how foolish we were - vain, arrogant children - when we thought ourselves happy. It comes from knowing how fragile and doomed the old ways were, just when we thought them and ourselves, secure!. The pain comes from knowing we have never been safe, and therefore will never be safe again. It comes from knowing we can never be children again. John Jakes
Real understanding does not come from what we learn in books; it comes from what we learn from love of nature, of music, of man. For only what is learned in that way is truly understood. Pablo Casals
Claude Monet quote: "It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one..."
It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly. Claude Monet
I now believe that the only way in which Americans can rise above their ordinariness, can mature sufficiently to rescue themselves and to help rescue their planet, is through enthusiastic intimacy with works of their own imagination. Kurt Vonnegut
Charles Spurgeon quote: "If you can't see His way past the tears, trust His heart."
If you can't see His way past the tears, trust His heart. Charles Spurgeon
Virginia Woolf quote: "It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth..."
It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes makes its way to the surface. Virginia Woolf
All life on Earth is subject to the rumbles and rockings of the parent stucture which has no control over the disastrous effects of its stresses and strains on whatever thrives on its surface. The ambitions and dreams of men are irrelevant to this planetary giant which pursues its own way in its own manner. Man is its child, tenant and still, to this date, its captive. Jack Kirby
One of the most important resources that a garden makes available for use, is the gardener's own body. A garden gives the body the dignity of working in its own support. It is a way of rejoining the human race. Wendell Berry
These folk are hewers of trees and hunters of beasts; therefore we are their unfriends, and if they will not depart we shall afflict them in all ways that we can." -- The Silmarllion, JRR Tolkien J. R. R. Tolkien
The strong manly ones in life are those who understand the meaning of the word patience. Patience means restraining one's inclinations. There are seven emotions: joy, anger, anxiety, adoration, grief, fear, and hate, and if a man does not give way to these he can be called patient. I am not as strong as I might be, but I have long known and practiced patience. And if my descendants wish to be as I am, they must study patience. Tokugawa Ieyasu
She has changed in this way that motherhood changes you, so that you forget you ever had time for small things like despising the color pink. Barbara Kingsolver
I felt overstuffed and dull and disappointed, the way I always do the day after Christmas, as if whatever it was the pine boughs and the candles and the silver and gilt-ribboned presents and the birch-log fires and the Christmas turkey and the carols at the piano promised never came to pass. Sylvia Plath
Harriet Beecher Stowe quote: "The longest way must have its close - the gloomiest night will..."
The longest way must have its close - the gloomiest night will wear on to a morning. Harriet Beecher Stowe
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "(…)man holds the remedy in his own hands, and lets everything..."
(…)man holds the remedy in his own hands, and lets everything go its own way, simply through cowardice- that is an axiom. Fyodor Dostoevsky
