Dear Reader, our site is undergoing maintenance at present. If images are missing or things look off, please bear with us for a few weeks.
As someone who loves reading, I naturally have a lot of favorite quotes by different authors. Just thought it’d be fun to share a few with you readers. Here they are, in no particular order. And a PS. Some of them are from movies too!
Truths and roses have thorns about them.
Henry David Thoreau
We never know how God will answer our prayers, but we can expect that He will get us involved in His plan for the answer.
Corrie ten Boom
I prefer tongue tied knowledge to ignorant loquacity.
Cicero
In a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
T.S. Eliot
Silence is one of the hardest arguments to refute.
Josh Billings
I will not be concerned at other men’s not knowing me; I will be concerned at my own want of ability.
Confucius
You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.
Robin Williams
The real trouble with this world of ours is not that it is an unreasonable world, nor even that it is a reasonable one. The commonest kind of trouble is that it is nearly reasonable, but not quite. Life is not an illogicality; yet it is a trap for logicians. It looks just a little more mathematical and regular than it is; its exactitude is obvious, but its inexactitude is hidden; its wildness lies in wait.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
He never gives a thorn without this added grace,
Martha Snell Nicholson
He takes the thorn to pin aside the veil which hides His face.
Trust your heart if the seas catch fire, live by love though the stars walk backward.
E.E. Cummings
Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you.
Roger Ebert
My steps and my stops are ordered of the Lord!!
Clinton Utterbach
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
James Dean
Knowledge does not come to us in details, but in flashes of light from heaven.
Henry David Thoreau
If there were no God, there would be no atheists.
Gilbert K Chesterton
Real intelligence is like a river;
Barbara Delinsky (The Summer I Dared)
the deeper it is, the less noise it makes.
We acquire the strength we have overcome.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life only demands from you the strength you possess. Only one feat is possible – not to have run away.
Dag Hammarskjold
Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.
Gilbert K Chesterton
An rud a líonann an tsúil, líonann sé an croí. (What fills the eye, fills the heart.)
Liam Mac an Iomaire
I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
Anais Nin
Drink your wine. Laugh from your gut. Burden your moments with thankfulness. Be as empty as you can be when that clock winds down. Spend your life. And if time is a river, may you leave a wake.
N D Wilson
The riddles of God are more satisfying than the solutions of man.
