Fun I love, but too much fun is of all things the most loathsom. Mirth is better than fun and happiness is better than mirth (Ter Quotes)
My specter around me night and day like a wild beast guards my way, my emanation far within weeps incessantly for my sin (Ter Quotes)
Modern disillusion is unlikely to last forever, and nothing rings so hollow as the angst of yesterday (Ter Quotes)
History does not teach fatalism. There are moments when the will of a handful of free men breaks through determinism and opens up new roads. People get the history they deserve (Ter Quotes)
For a tear is an intellectual thing, and a sigh is the sword of an angel king, and the bitter groan of the martyr's woe is an arrow from the almighty's bow (Ter Quotes)
To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour (Ter Quotes)
Since they whose duty it was to wield the sword of France have let it fall shattered to the ground, I have taken up the broken blade (Ter Quotes)
I knew that he prayed a great deal, of course for help in the examinations. But subsequent clinical experience has convinced me that God is not particularly interested in examinations, just as he won't be dragged into the stock market, or being a backer in show business (Ter Quotes)
A man of character finds a special attractiveness in difficulty, since it is only by coming to grips with difficulty that he can realize his potentialities (Ter Quotes)
The inert mind is a greater danger than the inert body, for it overlays and stifles the desire to live (Ter Quotes)
After all, the chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with producing, buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world (Ter Quotes)
England! Awake! Awake! Awake! Jerusalem thy sister calls! Why wilt thou sleep the sleep of death and close her from thy ancient walls? (Ter Quotes)
They live and laugh who know the better part - count length of pleasure not by dial or glass but by the heart; what are our fears when time's slow footfall, fall, fall falling turns lovers' hours to years? (Ter Quotes)
No enterprise can exist for itself alone. It ministers to some great need, it performs some great service, not for itself, but for others; or failing therein, it ceases to be profitable and ceases to exist (Ter Quotes)
I do not really like vacations. I much prefer an occasional day off when I do not feel like working. When I am confronted with a whole week in which I have nothing to do but enjoy myself I do not know where to begin. To me, enjoyment comes fleetingly and unheralded; I cannot determinedly enjoy myself for a whole week at a time (Ter Quotes)
What the hammer? What the chain? In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? What dread grasp dare its deadly terrors clasp? (Ter Quotes)
If I had my way books would not be written in English, but in an exceedingly difficult secret language that only skilled professional readers and story-tellers could interpret. Then people would have to go to public halls and pay good prices to hear (Ter Quotes)
Advertising ministers to the spiritual side of trade. It is great power that has been entrusted to your keeping which charges you with the high responsibility of inspiring and ennobling the commercial world. It is all part of the greater work of the regeneration and redemption of mankind (Ter Quotes)
Then my verse I dishonor, my pictures despise, my person degrade and my temper chastise; and the pen is my terror, the pencil my shame; and my talents I bury, and dead is my fame (Ter Quotes)
Men are admitted into heaven not because they have curbed and governed their passions or have no passions, but because they have cultivated their understandings. The treasures of heaven are not negations of passion, but realities of intellect, from which all the passions emanate uncurbed in their eternal glory. The fool shall not enter into heaven let him be ever so holy (Ter Quotes)
What seems to be, is, to those to whom it seems to be, and is productive of the most dreadful consequences to those to whom it seems to be, even of torments, despair, eternal death (Ter Quotes)
Industry, thrift and self-control are not sought because they create wealth, but because they create character (Ter Quotes)
Too much traffic with a quotation book begets a conviction of ignorance in a sensitive reader. Not only is there a mass of quotable stuff he never quotes, but an even vaster realm of which he has never heard (Ter Quotes)
To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is the Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but immediately to the understanding or reason? (Ter Quotes)
