Willingly Quotes (page 389)

Gentlemen may cry peace, peace- but there is no peace! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why should we idle here?...I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! Patrick Henry
P. G. Wodehouse quote: "It is true of course, that I have a will of iron, but it can..."
It is true of course, that I have a will of iron, but it can be switched off if the circumstances seem to demand it. P. G. Wodehouse
To me, the summer wind in the Midwest is one of the most melancholy things in all life. It comes from so far away and blows so gently and yet so relentlessly; it rustles the leaves and the branches of the maple trees in a sort of symphony of sadness, and it doesn't pass on and leave them still. It just keeps coming, like the infinite flow of Old Man River. You could -- and you do -- wear out your lifetime on the dusty plains with that wind of futility blowing in your face. And when you are... Ernie Pyle
Perhaps every writer who thoroughly creates a fictional world will inevitably create a mirror of his own time and yet also create a world that no one else but him has ever visited... Orson Scott Card
Deepak Chopra quote: "You will be transformed by what you read."
You will be transformed by what you read. Deepak Chopra
I am beginning to suspect all elaborate & special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the suposition that every child is an idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him come and go freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself... Helen Keller
Yet the summer which was to change everything was coming nearer every day. When boys and girls are growing up, life can't stand still, not even in the quietest of country towns; and they have to grow up, whether they will or no. That is what their elders are always forgetting. Willa Cather
John Adams quote: "Why have I not genius to start some new thought? Some thing..."
Why have I not genius to start some new thought? Some thing that will surprise the world? John Adams
Nothing happens by itself... it all will come your way, once you understand that you have to make it come your way, by your own exertions. Ben Stein
William Shakespeare quote: "The will is infiniteand the execution confin'd, the desire is..."
The will is infiniteand the execution confin'd, the desire is boundlessand the act a slaveto limit. William Shakespeare
Bono quote: "Every age has its massive moral blind spots. We might not see..."
Every age has its massive moral blind spots. We might not see them, but our children will. Bono
Look at them. There are your true philosophers. I think that Mack and the boys know everything that has ever happened in the world and possibly everything that will happen. I think they survive in this particular world better than other people. In a time when people tear themselves to pieces with ambition and nervousness and covetousness, they are relaxed. All of our so-called successful men are sick men, with bad stomachs, and bad souls, but Mack and the boys are healthy and curiously... John Steinbeck
Alas," said Aslan, shaking his head. "It will. Things always work according to their nature. She has won her heart's desire; she has unwearying strength and endless days like a goddess. But length of days with an evil heart is only length of misery and already she begins to know it. All get what they want; they do not always like it. C. S. Lewis
At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. Its like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And its not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even take your breath away. Zane Grey
Our ingress into the world was naked and bare; our progress through the world is trouble and care; our egress from the world will be nobody knows where; but if we do well here we shall do well there. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
