Law and order are the medicine of the body politic and when the body politic gets sick, medicine must be administered.
I would rather think of life as a good book. The further you get into it, the more it begins to come together and make sense.
Rabbi Harold S. Kushner
What I like about experience is that it is such an honest thing. You may take any number of wrong turnings; but keep your eyes open and you will not be allowed to go very far before the warning signs appear. You may have deceived yourself, but experience is not trying to deceive you. The universe rings true wherever you fairly test it.
C.S. Lewis
If the pace and the push, the noise and the crowds are getting to you, it's time to stop the nonsense and find a place of solace to refresh your spirit.
Charles Swindoll
Revenge in cold blood is the devil's own act and deed.
Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia (1732)
Vengeance is a dish best eaten cold.
Proverb
Forgiveness is better than revenge, for forgiveness is the sign of a gentle nature, but revenge is the sign of a savage nature.
Epictetus
A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green, which otherwise would heal and do well.
Francis Bacon
Thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenges.
William Shakespeare, TwelfthNigh
In taking revenge a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior.
Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia
One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice; and it is not right to return an injury, or to do evil to any man, however much we have suffered from him.
Socrates
Living well is the best revenge.
George Herbert, Jacula Prudentum
We start believing that someone knows how we feel, and let them overrule our judgments so we will take action. The beginning is when a person partakes of one alcoholic talking to another alcoholic to help them reduce their feelings of difference at least enough so that they will begin to take actions they do not yet believe in. When that moment comes, sobriety begins.
Clancy Imislund
I sometimes think we ought to bring a bill before Congress changing our national symbol from the eagle to the buffalo, because we are more like the buffalo than the eagle. The eagle is a powerful bird. It flies alone. It rises up into the sky with authority. It is master of all it surveys. The eagle is an individualist and was selected from among the rest of the birds to be our symbol. But the buffalo was never alone. It always ran in a herd with other buffaloes. And, friends, I call your attention that the buffaloes are gone from the open range, but the eagles are still soaring.
Norman Vincent Peale
In the darkest hour through which a human soul can pass, whatever else is doubtful, this at least is certain. If there be no God and no future state, yet, even then, it is better to be generous than selfish, better to be chaste than licentious, better to be true than false, better to be brave than to be a coward. Blessed beyond all earthly blessedness is the man who, in the tempestuous darkness of the soul, has dared to hold fast to these venerable landmarks. Thrice blest is he who, when all is dreary and cheerless within and without, when his teachers terrify him, and friends shrink from him, has obstinately clung to moral good.
Frederick William Robertson
No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.
Stanislaw Lec, More Unkempt Thou
The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?
J. B. (John Boynton) Priestley
There was an old man of Quebec,Who was buried in snow to his neck.When asked,
Rudyard Kipling
In the town of The Pas, ManitobaIt snows on the first of OctobaFrom then, for six months,It thaws only onceAnd never when I am quite soba.
Anon.
Don't complain about the snow on your neighbor's roof when your own doorstep is unclean.
Confucius
We build statues out of snow, and weep to see them melt.
Sir Walter Scott
One Christmas was so much like another,...that I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twleve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six.
Dylan Thomas, A Child's Christma
Among twenty snowy mountains,The only moving thingWas the eye of the blackbird.
Wallace Stevens, Thirteen Ways o
In the bleak midwinterFrosty wind made moan,Earth stood hard as iron,Water like a stone;Snow had fallen, snow on snow,Snow on snow,In the bleak midwinter,Long ago.
Christina Rossetti, MidWinter, 1
Announced by all the trumpets of the sky,Arrives the snow, and, driving o'er the fields,Seems nowhere to alight: the whited airHides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven,And veils the farmhouse at the garden's end.The sled and traveller stopped, the courier's feetDelayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sitAround the radiant fireplace, enclosed In a tumultuous privacy of storm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Oh! the snow, the beautiful snow,Filling the sky and earth below,Over the housetops, over the street,Over the heads of the people you meet.Dancing,Flirting,Skimming along.
Thomas J. Watson
A snowflake is one of God's most fragile creations, but look what they can do when they stick together!
Snowmen fall from heaven... unassembled.
THE SNOW had begun in the gloaming,And busily all the nightHad been heaping field and highwayWith a silence deep and white.Every pine and fir and hemlockWore ermine too dear for an earl,And the poorest twig on the elm-treeWas ridged inch deep with pearl.
James Russell Lowell, The First
When I no longer thrill to the first snow of the season, I'll know I'm growing old.
Lady Bird Johnson
Therefore all seasons shall be sweet to thee,Whether the summer clothe the general earthWith greenness, or the redbreast sit and singBetwixt the tufts of snow on the bare branchOf mossy apple tree.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Frost a
Have you seen but a bright lily grow,Before rude hands have touched it?Have you marked but the fall o' the snowBefore the soil hath smutched it?...O so white! O so soft! O so sweet is she!
Ben Johnson, Celebration of Char
On Linden, when the sun was low,All bloodless lay the untrodden snow,And dark as winter was the flowOf Iser, rolling rapidly.
Thomas Campbell, Hohenlinden
This is the Hour of Lead --Remembered, if outlived,As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow --First --Chill --then Stupor --then the letting go --.
Emily Dickinson, The Complete Po
The larger a man's roof, the more snow it collects.
Resting on your laurels is as dangerous as resting when you are walking in the snow. You doze off and die in your sleep.
Ludwig Wittgenstein, journal ent
Genius is an African who dreams up snow.
Vladimir Nabokov, The Gift
About the woodlands I will goTo see the cherry hung with snow.
A.E. Housman, A Shropshire Lad
Cold in the earth - and the deep snow piled above thee,Far, far, removed, cold in the dreary grave!
Emily Bront, Remembrance
These 'messengers' will not be hindered from accomplishing at their best speed the distance which they have to go, either by snow, or rain, or heat, or by the darkness of night.
Herodotus, Histories
I love snow, snow, and all the forms of radiant frost.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
