World Quotes (page 450)

God save you, my brethren, with all your -isms and schisms! I am a citizen of the world, and a man of Weimer. I have established myself by culture in this choice society; and if anyone knows a better place, let him go to it. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
But though there were different names for God in all the different languages in the world and God understood what all the people whoprayed said in their different languages still God remained always thesame God and God's real name was God. James Joyce
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley quote: "The world was to me a secret which I desired to devine."
The world was to me a secret which I desired to devine. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
The continuous narrative of existence is a lie. There is no continuous narrative, there are lit-up moments, and the rest is dark. When you look closely, the twenty-four hour day is framed into a moment; the still-life of the jerky amphetamine world. That woman-a pieta. Those men, rough angels with an unknown message. The children holding hands, spanning time. And in every still-life, there is a story, the story that tells you everything you need to know. Jeanette Winterson
There are always two people involved in cruelty, aren't there? One to be vicious and someone to suffer! And what's the use of getting rid of - of wickedness, say - in the outside world if you let it creep back into things from inside you? Margaret Mahy
Love, the great, the strong, the conquering god --- Love that subdues a world, and rides roughshod over principle, virtue, tradition, over home, kindred, and religion -- what cares he for the easy conquest of the pathetic being, who appeals to his sympathy? Love means equality -- the same height of heroism or of sin. When Love stoops to pity, he has ceased to soar in the boundless space, that rarefied atmosphere wherein man feels himself made at last truly in the image of God. Baroness Orczy
As a young child I had Santa and Jesus all mixed up. I could identify Coke or Pepsi with just one sip, but I could not tell you for sure why they strapped Santa to a cross. Had he missed a house? Had a good little girl somewhere in the world not received the doll he'd promised her, making the father angry? Augusten Burroughs
David Guterson quote: "The rain fell with such fervor that the world disappeared."
The rain fell with such fervor that the world disappeared. David Guterson
Charles Dickens quote: "He knew enough of the world to know that there is nothing in..."
He knew enough of the world to know that there is nothing in it better than the faithful service of the heart. Charles Dickens
John Steinbeck quote: "The sale of souls to gain the whole world is completely..."
The sale of souls to gain the whole world is completely voluntary and almost unanimous...but not quite. John Steinbeck
Joseph Conrad quote: "The world is to the young."
The world is to the young. Joseph Conrad
That's what the world is like: people talk as if they knew everything, but ifyou dare to ask a question, they don't know anything. Paulo Coelho
If he now failed, this world also would hereafter be redeemed. If he were not the ransom, another would be. Yet nothing was ever repeated. Not a second crucifixion; perhaps-who knows-not even a second Incarnation... some act of even more appalling love, some glory of yet deeper humility. C. S. Lewis
L. M. Montgomery quote: "I wish every one in the world was as warm and sheltered as we..."
I wish every one in the world was as warm and sheltered as we are tonight. L. M. Montgomery
In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and, to the young, it comes with bitterest agony, because it takes them unawares. The older have learned to ever expect it. I am anxious to afford some alleviation of your present distress. Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You can not now realize that you will ever feel better. Is not this so? And yet it is a mistake. You are sure to be happy again. To know this, which is certainly true, will make you some less miserable now. I... Abraham Lincoln
