Text Quotes
One has to greatly admire the patience with which our society has come to terms with all the challenges of these dramatic times, the extent of which few of us could have anticipated in those heady, revolutionary days  (Ter Quotes) Genuine politics - politics worthy of the name, and the only politics I am willing to devote myself to - is simply a matter of serving those around us: serving the community, and serving those who will come after us  (Ter Quotes) Love is enough: through the trouble and tangle from yesterday's dawning to yesterday's night I sought through the vales where the prisoned winds wrangle, till, wearied and bleeding, at end of the light I met him, and we wrestled, and great was my might  (Ter Quotes) The role of the writer is not simply to arrange being according to his own lights; he must also serve as a medium to being and remain open to its often unfathomable dictates. This is the only way the work can transcend its creator and radiate its meaning  (Ter Quotes) Conscience is doubtless sufficient to conduct the coldest character into the road of virtue; but enthusiasm is to conscience what honor is to duty; there is in us a superfluity of soul, which it is sweet to consecrate to the beautiful when the good has been accomplished  (Ter Quotes) Isn't it extraordinary that the prime minister of our country can't even urge his party to back his own position. Weak! Weak! Weak!  (Ter Quotes) I can stand here today, leader of the labour party, prime minister, and say to the British people: you have never had it so... Prudent  (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) Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside  (Ter Quotes) You've got many refinements. I don't think you need to worry about your failure at long division. I mean, after all, you got through short division, and short division is all that a lady ought to be called on to cope with  (Ter Quotes) Up and down our lives obedient walk, dear Christ, with footsteps radiant, till those garden lives shall be fair with duties done for thee; and our thankful spirits say, Christ arose on Easter day  (Ter Quotes) Newton's great generalization, which he called the third law of motion, was that action and reaction are always equal to each other; and that law has been one of the most pregnant of all truths about the mystery of force; - one of the brightest windows through which modern eyes have looked into the world of nature  (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) From the midst of the very fountain of pleasure, something of bitterness arises to vex us in the flower of enjoyment  (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) However old a conjugal union, it still garners some sweetness. Winter has some cloudless days, and under the snow a few flowers still bloom  (Ter Quotes) Have you not observed that faith is generally strongest in those whose character may be called the weakest?  (Ter Quotes) Where no interest is takes in science, literature and liberal pursuits, mere facts and insignificant criticisms necessarily become the themes of discourse; and minds, strangers alike to activity and meditation, become so limited as to render all intercourse with them at once tasteless and oppressive  (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) Doubtless the human face is the grandest of all mysteries; yet fixed on canvas it can hardly tell of more than one sensation; no struggle, no successive contrasts accessible to dramatic art, can painting give, as neither time nor motion exists for her  (Ter Quotes) Enthusiasm gives life to what is invisible; and interest to what has no immediate action on our comfort in this world  (Ter Quotes) Mystery such as is given of God is beyond the power of human penetration, yet not in opposition to it  (Ter Quotes) It is a pleasure for to sit at ease upon the land, and safely for to see how other folks are tossed on the seas that with the blustering winds turmoiled be  (Ter Quotes) Popular art is normally decried as vulgar by the cultivated people of its time; then it loses favor with its original audience as a new generation grows up; then it begins to merge into the softer lighting of "quaint", and cultivated people become interested in it; and finally it begins to take on the archaic dignity of the primitive  (Ter Quotes) A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send checks to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas  (Ter Quotes) I love art, and I love history, but it is living art and living history that I love. It is in the interest of living art and living history that I oppose so-called restoration. What history can there be in a building bedaubed with ornament, which cannot at the best be anything but a hopeless and lifeless imitation of the hope and vigor of the earlier world?  (Ter Quotes) Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside; or a grimy palace amid the same with a regiment of housemaids always working to smear the dirt together so that it may be unnoticed; which, think you, is the most refined, the most fit for a gentleman of those two dwellings?  (Ter Quotes) There is but one love of Jesus, as there is but one person in the poor - Jesus. We take vows of chastity to love Christ with undivided love; to be able to love him with undivided love we take a vow of poverty which frees us from all material possessions, and with that freedom we can love him with undivided love, and from this vow of undivided love we surrender ourselves totally to him in the person who takes his place  (Ter Quotes)
