Willfulness Quotes (page 100)

If this is the price to be paid for an idea, then let us pay. There is no need of being troubled about it, afraid, or ashamed. This is the time to boldly say, “Yes, I believe in the displacement of this system of injustice by a just one; I believe in the end of starvation, exposure, and the crimes caused by them; I believe in the human soul regnant over all laws which man has made or will make; I believe there is no peace now, and there will never be peace, so long as one rules over another;... Voltairine de Cleyre
In this world, who can do a thing, will not; And who would do it, cannot, I perceive: Yet the will's somewhat — somewhat, too, the power — And thus we half-men struggle. Robert Browning
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "Strike a glass and it will not endure an instant. Simply do..."
Strike a glass and it will not endure an instant. Simply do not strike it and it will endure a thousand years. Gilbert K. Chesterton
I know not what quintessence of all this mixture, which, seizing my whole will, carried it to plunge and lose itself in his, and that having seized his whole will, brought it back with equal concurrence and appetite to plunge and lose itself in mine. Michel de Montaigne
Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke . . . She will need her sisterhood. Gloria Steinem
[About Uluru] I'm suggesting nothing here, but I will say that if you were an intergalactic traveler who had broken down in our solar system, the obvious directions to rescuers would be: "Go to the third planet and fly around till you see the big red rock. You can't miss it." If ever on earth they dig up a 150,000-year-old rocket ship from the galaxy Zog, this is where it will be. I'm not saying I expect it to happen; not saying that at all. I'm just observing that if I were looking for an... Bill Bryson
When you grow suspicious of a person and begin a system of espionage upon him, your punishment will be that you will find your suspicions true. Elbert Hubbard
The Shield was another of the Fear's names. According to Laughter, it means he shields the seed of Abraham the way a man starting a fire shields the flame. When Sarah was about to die childless, the Fear gave her a son. When Abraham was about to slaughter the son, the Fear gave him the ram. He is always shielding us like a guttering wick, Laughter said, because the fire he is trying to start with us is a fire that the whole world will live to warm its hands at. It is a fire in the dark that... Frederick Buechner
No one else can want for me. No one can substitute his act of will for mine. It does sometimes happen that someone very much wants me to want what he wants. This is the moment when the impassable frontier between him and me, which is drawn by free will, becomes most obvious. I may not want that which he wants me to want - and in this precisely I am incommunicabilis. I am, and I must be, independent in my actions. All human relationships are posited on this fact. Pope John Paul II
Reality is harsh. It can be cruel and ugly. Yet no matter how much we grieve over our environment and circumstances nothing will change. What is important is not to be defeated, to forge ahead bravely. If we do this, a path will open before us. Daisaku Ikeda
I will love you forever" swears the poet. I find this easy to swear too. "I will love you at 4:15 pm next Tuesday" - Is that still as easy? W. H. Auden
For in grief nothing "stays put." One keeps on emerging from a phase, but it always recurs. Round and round. Everything repeats. Am I going in circles, or dare I hope I am on a spiral? But if a spiral, am I going up or down it? How often -- will it be for always? -- how often will the vast emptiness astonish me like a complete novelty and make me say, "I never realized my loss till this moment"? The same leg is cut off time after time. C. S. Lewis
Lao Tzu quote: "If you try to change it, you will ruin it. Try to hold it, and..."
If you try to change it, you will ruin it. Try to hold it, and you will lose it. Lao Tzu
Let us labor for an inward stillness--An inward stillness and an inward healing. That perfect silence where the lips and heart. Are still, and we no longer entertain. Our own imperfect thoughts and vain opinions, But God alone speaks to us and we wait. In singleness of heart that we may know. His will, and in the silence of our spirits, That we may do His will and do that only Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
C. S. Lewis quote: "The Christian does not think God will love us because we are..."
The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us. C. S. Lewis
