The poem is a little myth of man's capacity of making life meaningful. And in the end, the poem is not a thing we see-it is, rather, a light by which we may see-and what we see is life.
Reading the Bible will help you get to know the word, but it's when you put it down and live your life that you get to know the author.
Steve Maraboli
What a new face courage puts on everything!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The follow your dreams thing is really important because so many people are railroaded into taking other paths by their family, their friends, people who should be supportive going, 'What are you talking about?' Even just seemingly regular career paths, but if it's not what people expect for you they kind of react funny.
Joan Jett
Half a man's wisdom goes with his courage.
And he writhed inside at what seemed the cruelty and unfairness of the demand. He had not yet learned that if you do one good deed your reward usually is to do another and harder and better one.
C.S. Lewis
Life is short, but there is always time for courtesy.
The pupil dilates in darkness and in the end finds light, just as the soul dilates in misfortune and in the end finds God.
Victor Hugo
Right now, if you're interested in being a dramatic actor, they're not making that many just regular dramas. Movies have to have some other thing going on.
Ethan Hawke
Courtesy Life be not so short but that there is always time for courtesy.
When we have done our best, we should wait the result in peace.
John Lubbock
A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.
Robert Frost
It is the privilege of any human work which is well done to invest the doer with a certain haughtiness. He can well afford not to conciliate, whose faithful work will answer for him.
From the Taoist point of view, the natural result of this harmonious way of living is happiness.
Benjamin Hoff
Now, I have always wanted to agree with Lady Bracknell that there is no earthly use for the upper and lower classes unless they set each other a good example. But I shouldn't pretend that the consensus itself was any of my concern. It was absurd and slightly despicable, in the first decade of Thatcher and Reagan, to hear former and actual radicals intone piously against 'the politics of confrontation.' I suppose that, if this collection has a point, it is the desire of one individual to see the idea of confrontation kept alive.
Christopher Hitchens
But men are men; the best sometimes forget.
William Shakespeare
That which builds is better than that which is built.
As men's prayers are a disease of the will, so are their creeds a disease of the intellect.
What we like to think of ourselves and what we really are rarely have much in common....
Stephen King
When I was a teen, I thought I would have to choose between my writing or my music or my art, but it turns out it's a difficult juggling game but I can do all of them.
Maggie Stiefvater
It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.
Henry David Thoreau
Crime and punishment grow out of one stem. Punishment is a fruit that, unsuspected, ripens with the flower of the pleasure that concealed it.
We think Android is very, very fragmented, and becoming more fragmented by the day. And as you know, Apple strives for the integrated model so that the user isn't forced to be the systems integrator.
Steve Jobs
Professional sports are something they can't control.
Troy Vincent
Commit a crime, and the earth is made of glass.
Ideas are more difficult to kill than people, but they can be killed, in the end.
Neil Gaiman
Blame is safer than praise.
I influenced the BG style by not being able to draw perspective. The BG artists developed cool graphic painting styles to make my bad backgrounds look like they were that way on purpose.
John Kricfalusi
Criticism should not be querulous and wasting, all knife and root-puller, but guiding, instructive, inspiring.
The wise are instructed by reason, average minds by experience, the stupid by necessity and the brute by instinct.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In old days there were angels who came and took men by the hand and led them away from the city of destruction. We see no white-winged angels now. But yet men are led away from threatening destruction: a hand is put into theirs, which leads them forth gently towards a calm and bright land, so that they look no more backward; and the hand may be a little child's.
George Eliot
Being rich and famous isn't all happiness and at times the pressures have got to me.
Annni-Frid Lyngstad
Men over forty are no judges of a book written in a new spirit.
Culture is one thing and varnish is another.
Jealousy is such an ugly emotion.
Cassandra Clare
The theoretical understanding of the world, which is the aim of philosophy, is not a matter of great practical importance to animals, or to savages, or even to most civilised men.
Bertrand Russell
I will stay in the car until the last minute that I'm going to jump out and do a standup or jump out and do some interviews.
Martha Raddatz
Curiosity is lying in wait for every secret.
The only stable state is the one in which all men are equal before the law.
Aristotle
One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.
Maya Angelou
Don't be a cynic and disconsolate preacher. Don't bewail and moan. Omit the negative propositions. Challenge us with incessant affirmatives. Don't waste yourself in rejection, or bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.
