We find what we expect to find, and we receive what we ask for.
Time turns the old days to derision, our loves into corpses or wives; and marriage and death and division make barren our lives.
Algernon Charles Swinburne
Stand still... and refuse to retreat. Look at it as God looks at it and draw upon His power to hold up under the blast.
Charles Swindoll
A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position. Attitude keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope. When my attitudes are right, there is no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me.
When I think of vision, I have in mind the ability to see above and beyond the majority.
The swift wind of compromise is a lot more devastating than the sudden jolt of misfortune.
Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it.
Publilius Syrus
It is bad advice that cannot be changed.
That should be considered long which can be decided but once.
The prompter the refusal, the less the disappointment.
It is a pitiful fortune that is not without enemies.
Work is more fun than fun.
Noel Coward
One of the reasons for the failure of feminism to dislodge deeply held perceptions of male and female behavior was its insistence that women were victims, and men powerful patriarchs, which made a travesty of ordinary people's experience of the mutual interdependence of men and women.
Rosalind Coward
It is the growling man who lives a dog's life.
Coleman Cox
Sermons remain one of the last forms of public discourse where it is culturally forbidden to talk back.
Harvey Cox
When a man does a household job, he goes through three periods: contemplating how it will be done; contemplating when it will be done; and contemplating.
Marcelene Cox
A king should die on his feet.
Louis XVIII
Punctuality is the politeness of kings.
The precise form of an individual's activity is determined, of course, by the equipment with which he came into the world. In other words, it is determined by his heredity.
Henry Louis
I find it unusual that it is more socially acceptable to complain about what you have than it is to ask for what you want.
Phil Lout
If I have freedom in my love, And in my soul am free, -- Angels alone that soar above, Enjoy such liberty.
Richard Lovelace
Stone walls do not a prison make nor iron bars a cage; minds innocent and quiet take that for an hermitage.
I never thought I didn't have a card to play.
Jim Lovell
Freedom is hunting, feeding, danger; that, that is freedom --that it is which makes the veins to swell, the breast to heave and glowaye, that is freedom, --that is pleasure --life!
Marie Lovell
Circumstances are the rulers of the weak; they are but the instruments of the wise.
Samuel Lover
The criterion of simplicity requires that the minimum number of assumptions be postulated.
Albert Low
Instead of suppressing conflicts, specific channels could be created to make this conflict explicit, and specific methods could be set up by which the conflict is resolved.
Hate is ravening vulture beaks descending on a place of skulls.
Amy Lowell
Moon! Moon! am prone before you. Pity me, and drench me in loneliness.
Even Pain pricks to livelier living.
A man must be sacrificed now and again to provide for the next generation of men.
All books are either dreams or swords.
For books are more than books, they are the life, the very heart and core of ages past, the reason why men lived and worked and died, the essence and quintessence of their lives.
Time! Joyless emblem of the greed of millions, robber of the best which earth can give.
If we see light at the end of the tunnel, it the light of the oncoming train.
Robert Lowell
If you act like you know what you're doing, you can do anything you want -- except neurosurgery.
John Lowenstein
Politicians say they're beefing up our economy. Most don't know beef from pork.
Hariold Lowman
What I have absolutely no sympathy with is the legislator, the man who seeks, for his own profit, to exploit the weaknesses of those who are unable to help themselves and then to fasten some moral superscription upon it. This I loathe so much that I cannot conceivably explain how much it is.
Malcolm Lowry
The enemy is like a woman, weak in face of opposition, but correspondingly strong when not opposed. In a quarrel with a man, it is natural for a woman to lose heart and run away when he faces up to her; on the other hand, if the man begins to be afraid and to give ground, her rage, vindictiveness and fury overflow and know no limit.
St. Ignatius Loyola
Let me look at the foulness and ugliness of my body. Let me see myself as an ulcerous sore running with every horrible and disgusting poison.
