Text Quotes
I think people are tired of religion and how it divides and damages people. You can name it whatever you want, Islam or Christianity, but if you have a system in which God is distant and angry all the time, and you’re trying to please him through the right disciplines, it isn’t going to work for everyone. (Distant Quotes)
Mass extinctions may not threaten distant futures, but they are decidedly unpleasant for species caught up in the throes of their power. (Distant Quotes)
Look underfoot. You are always nearer to the true sources of your power than you think. The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are. Don’t despise your own place and hour. Every place is the center of the world. (Distant Quotes)
I grew up on the South Island of New Zealand, in a city chosen and beloved by my parents for its proximity to the mountains - Christchurch is two hours distant from the worn saddle of Arthur’s Pass, the mountain village that was and is my father’s spiritual touchstone, his chapel and cathedral in the wild. (Distant Quotes)
Since the heady days of the 2009 Inauguration, middle-class independents have grown increasingly distant from Obama. Working-class voters - always more enamored of Clinton - have grown even more wary and distrustful of the Chicagoan. Both voting blocs pose the danger of serious defection in 2012. Without their support, Obama cannot win. (Distant Quotes)
One does not have to be a ‘climate change denier’ to see that a degree of skepticism about the present consensus might be in order....Most likely, now - as in the past - many analysts have become carried away by the results of their models, which purport to look into a far distant future, and have convinced themselves that they must embark on a crusade to enlighten others. (Distant Quotes)
I’m one of those people who happen to like trees. I don’t know why - I just do. As a kid, I loved to climb them. The distant, upper branches, especially, were celestial and alluring. (Distant Quotes)
It is true that prosperity has many close friends; poverty, on the other hand, has only distant watchers! (Distant Quotes)
A distant cousin sent me some genealogy report on my father’s side, and it’s sort of what I suspected. Coal miners for generations... four or maybe five generations. (Distant Quotes)
We must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal we seek, but it is a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means. (Distant Quotes)
There is always in February some one day, at least, when one smells the yet distant, but surely coming, summer. (Distant Quotes)
...We have an historic opportunity for a great global healing and renewal. If we will accept the challenge of nonviolent activism with faith, courage, and determination, we can bring this great vision of a world united in peace and harmony from a distant ideal into glowing reality. (Distant Quotes)
God be thanked for books! They are the voices of the distant and the dead. (Distant Quotes)
God, O God, where art thou? Thou art as distant to me as the lady combing rice in the Yunnan Province of China or a piece of floating space debris circling Pegasi. In this feeling-dead world of post traumatic stress, skepticism is king, queen, and court jester. (Distant Quotes)
Receive, dear friend, the truths I teach, So shalt thou live beyond the reach Of adverse Fortune’s pow’r; Not always tempt the distant deep, Nor always timorously creep Along the treach’rous shore. (Distant Quotes)
Here lies one from a distant star, but the soil is not alien to him, for in death he belongs to the universe. (Distant Quotes)
We would fight not for the political future of a distant city, rather for principles whose destruction would ruin the possibility of peace and security for the peoples of the earth. (Distant Quotes)
Some have called we rock and roll performers who never retire ‘troubadours.’ I enjoy this misnomer immensely. While there are many differences between me and my distant predecessors in L’Occitane, I do believe there is a lineage that connects us of the last 70 years with those romantic singers of the High Middle Ages. (Distant Quotes)
Glamour invites us to live in a different world. It has to simultaneously be mysterious, a little bit distant - that’s why, often in these glamour shots, the person is not looking at the audience, it’s why sunglasses are glamorous - but also not so far above us that we can’t identify with the person. (Distant Quotes)
The longer you remain distant, the deeper, wider, and darker the chasm becomes making it all the more difficult to bridge. (Distant Quotes)
I certainly feel that the time is not far distant when a knowledge of the principles of diet will be an essential part of one’s education. Then mankind will eat to live, be able to do better mental and physical work and disease will be less frequent. (Distant Quotes)
My parents went to Ohio to see a very distant cousin get buried or married. I don’t remember which. (Distant Quotes)
He was my distant cousin. Not only was he 50 miles away and 50 years away, but he was just very aloof. (Distant Quotes)
Roy Acuff’s from Maynardville, and that’s where a lot of my family’s from. So he’s, I’ve been told, a distant cousin, as well. (Distant Quotes)
What the fossil record does do is to force us to contemplate our place on the planet. We are but one species of several hominids that inhabited Planet Earth, and like our distant cousins who went extinct fairly recently, our time on Planet Earth is also finite. (Distant Quotes)
The distant soul can shake the distant friend’s soul and make the longing felt, over untold miles. (Distant Quotes)
A short letter to a distant friend is, in my opinion, an insult like that of a slight bow or cursory salutation - a proof of unwillingness to do much, even where there is a necessity of doing something. (Distant Quotes)
Blest be the gracious Power, who taught mankind To stamp a lasting image of the mind! Beasts may convey, and tuneful birds may sing, Their mutual feelings, in the opening spring; But Man alone has skill and power to send The heart’s warm dictates to the distant friend; ‘Tis his alone to please, instruct, advise Ages remote, and nations yet to rise. (Distant Quotes)
My wife and kids are the constituents I will be serving long after my days in Springfield are a distant memory. (Distant Quotes)
The days of languorous shore leave are long gone. Overnight stays are unheard of and sailor towns a distant memory. In better ports, seafarers head for a seamen’s mission. (Distant Quotes)
