Text Quotes
God is the great mysterious motivator of what we call nature, and it has often been said by philosophers, that nature is the will of God. And I prefer to say that nature is the only body of God that we shall ever see (Ter Quotes)
Architecture is life, or at least it is life itself taking form and therefore it is the truest record of life as it was lived in the world yesterday, as it is lived today or ever will be lived (Ter Quotes)
Every winter, when the great sun has turned his face away, the Earth goes down into a vale of grief, and fasts, and weeps, and shrouds herself in sables, leaving her wedding-garlands to decay-- then leaps in spring to his returning kisses (Ter Quotes)
Ah, my friends, we must look out and around to see what God is like. It is when we persist in turning our eyes inward and prying curiously over our own imperfections, that we learn to make God after our own image, and fancy that our own darkness and hardness of heart are the patterns of his light and love (Ter Quotes)
Just because the past didn't turn out like you had hoped, doesn't mean your future can't be better than you had envisioned (Ter Quotes)
In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those of a fine october, when the trees are bare to the mild heavens, and the red leaves bestrew the road, and you can feel the breath of winter, morning and evening? No days so calm, so tenderly solemn, and with such a reverent meekness in the air (Ter Quotes)
Men praise poverty, as the African worships mumbo jumbo - from terror of the malign power, and a desire to propitiate at (Ter Quotes)
In winter, when the dismal rain came down in slanting lines, and wind, that grand old harper, smote his thunder-harp of pines (Ter Quotes)
The greatness of an artist or a writer does not depend on what he has in common with other artists and writers, but on what he has peculiar to himself (Ter Quotes)
It's a joke to think that anyone is one thing. We're all such complex creatures. But if I'm going to be a poster child for anything, anger's a gorgeous emotion. It gets a bad rap, but it can make great changes happen (Ter Quotes)
An old man turned ninety-eight, he won the lottery and died the next day. It's a black fly in your chardonnay, it's a death row pardon two minutes too late isn't it ironic... Don't you think? A traffic jam when you're already late, a no-smoking sign on your cigarette break, it's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife, it's meeting the man of my dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife (Ter Quotes)
The foundation stones for a balanced success are honesty, character, integrity, faith, love and loyalty (Ter Quotes)
It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through (Ter Quotes)
Many marriages would be better if the husband and the wife clearly understood that they are on the same side (Ter Quotes)
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Power is ever stealing from the many to the few. The hand entrusted with power becomes the necessary enemy of the people. Only by continual oversight can the democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a despot: only by unintermitted agitation can a people be kept sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty be smothered in material prosperity (Ter Quotes)
The more I give myself permission to live in the moment and enjoy it without feeling guilty or judgmental about any other time, the better I feel about the quality of my work (Ter Quotes)
All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy (Ter Quotes)
Masters, I have to tell a tale of woe, a tale of folly and of wasted life, hope against hope, the bitter dregs of strife, ending, where all things end, in death at last (Ter Quotes)
Our royalty is to be reverenced, and if you begin to poke about it you cannot reverence it.... Its mystery is its life. We must not let in daylight upon magic (Ter Quotes)
War both needs and generates certain virtues; not the highest, but what may be called the preliminary virtues, as valor, veracity, the spirit of obedience, the habit of discipline. Any of these, and of others like them, when possessed by a nation, and no matter how generated, will give them a military advantage, and make them more likely to stay in the race of nations (Ter Quotes)
Late February days; and now, at last, might you have thought that winter's woe was past; so fair the sky was and so soft the air (Ter Quotes)
And what do ye say then? - that spring long departed has brought forth no child to the softness and showers; - that we slept and we dreamed through the summer of flowers; we dreamed of the winter, and waking dead-hearted found winter upon us and waste of dull hours (Ter Quotes)
Enough of satire; in less hardened times great was her force, and mighty were her rhymes. I've read of men, beyond man's daring brave, who yet have trembled at the strokes she gave; whose souls have felt more terrible alarms from her one line, than from a world in arms (Ter Quotes)
It is important that those engaged in terrorism realise that our determination to defend our values and our way of life is greater than their determination to cause death and destruction to innocent people in a desire to impose extremism on the world (Ter Quotes)
No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, gentle, pure, and good, without the world being the better for it, without somebody being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness (Ter Quotes)
O risen Christ! O Easter flower! How dear thy grace has grown! From East to west, with loving power, make all the world thine own (Ter Quotes)
Virtue is the daughter of religion; repentance, her adopted child, - a poor orphan who, without the asylum which she offers, would not know where to hide her sole treasure, her tears! (Ter Quotes)
Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat... We must find each other (Ter Quotes)
Have you not observed that faith is generally strongest in those whose character may be called the weakest? (Ter Quotes)
The only equitable manner in my opinion, of judging the character of a man is to examine if there are personal calculations in his conduct; if there are not, we may blame his manner of judging, but we are not the less bound to esteem him (Ter Quotes)
