Were Quotes (page 2)

Were it possible for us to see further than our knowledge reaches, and yet a little way beyond the outworks of our divinings, perhaps we would endure our sadnesses with greater confidence than our joys. For they are the moments when something new has entered into us, something unknown; our feelings grow mute in shy perplexity, everything in us withdraws, a stillness comes, and the new, which no one knows, stands in the midst of it and is silent. Rainer Maria Rilke
Were it not for the presence of the unwashed and the half-educated, the formless, queer and incomplete, the unreasonable and absurd, the infinite shapes of the delightful human tadpole, the horizon would not wear so wide a grin. Frank Moore Colby
Were the judgments of mankind correct, custom would be regulated by the good. But it is often far otherwise in point of fact; for, whatever the many are seen to do, forthwith obtains the force of custom. But human affairs have scarcely ever been so happily constituted as that the better course pleased the greater number. Hence the private vices of the multitude have generally resulted in public error, or rather that common consent in vice which these worthy men would have to be law. John Calvin
William Shakespeare quote: "Were't not for laughing, I should pity him."
Were't not for laughing, I should pity him. William Shakespeare
Were all instructors to realize that the quality of mental process, not the production of correct answers, is the measure of educative growth something hardly less than a revolution in teaching would be worked. John Dewey
William Shakespeare quote: "Were kisses all the joys in bed,/One woman would another wed."
Were kisses all the joys in bed,/One woman would another wed. William Shakespeare
Were we incapable of empathy? of putting ourselves in the position of others and seeing that their suffering is like our own? then ethical reasoning would lead nowhere. If emotion without reason is blind, then reason without emotion is impotent. Peter Singer
Were one asked to characterize the life of religion in the broadest and most general terms possible, one might say that it consists of the belief that there is an unseen order, and our supreme good lies in harmoniously adjusting ourselves thereto. William James
Were all first loves like that? Somehow she doubted it; even now it struck her as being more real than anything she'd ever known. Sometimes it saddened her to think that she'd never experience that kind of feeling again, but then life had a way of stamping out that intensity of passion; she'd learned all too well that love wasn't always enough. Nicholas Sparks
Were the earth smooth, our brains would be smooth as well; we would wake, blink, walk two steps to get the whole picture, and lapse into a dreamless sleep. Annie Dillard
Were I a woman, I would all day long. Sing my own beauty in some holy song, Bend low before it, hushed and half afraid, And say 'I am a woman' all day long. Richard Le Gallienne
Janet Evanovich quote: "Were really screwed up, aren't we?"In a very large way."
Were really screwed up, aren't we?"In a very large way. Janet Evanovich
Were I as base as is the lowly plain, And you, my Love, as high as heaven above, Yet should the thoughts of me, your humble swain,. Joshua Sylvester
Thomas Dekker quote: "Were there no women, men might live like gods."
Were there no women, men might live like gods. Thomas Dekker
Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it 'the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.' The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of 'Artist.' Edgar Allan Poe
