Thy Quotes

And if my present deeds are foolish in thy sight, it may be that a foolish judge arraigns my folly Picture Quote #1

Enlarge not thy destiny, said the oracle: endeavor not to do more than is given thee in charge Picture Quote #1

In the days of thy youth seek to obtain that which shall compensate the losses of thy old age Picture Quote #1

Let thy chief fort and place of defense be a mind free from passions. A stronger place and better fortified than this, hath no man Picture Quote #1

As surgeons keep their instruments and knives always at hand for cases requiring immediate treatment, so shouldst thou have thy thoughts ready to understand things divine and human, remembering in thy every act, even the smallest, how close is the bond that unites the two Picture Quote #1

I thought that my voyage had come to its end at the last limit of my power, that the path before me was closed, that provisions were exhausted, and the time come to take shelter in a silent obscurity, but I find that thy will knows no end in me, and when old words die out on the tongue, new melodies break forth from the heart, and where the old tracks are lost, new country is revealed with its wonders Picture Quote #1

The way you keep your house, the way you organize your time, the care you take in your personal appearance, the things you spend your money on, all speak loudly about what you believe. The beauty of thy peace shines forth in an ordered life. A disordered life speaks loudly of disorder in the soul Picture Quote #1

Be faithful and true of word; let thy walk be plain and lowly: thou wilt get on, though in savage land. If thy words be not faithful and true, thy walk plain and lowly, wilt thou get on, though in thine own home? Standing, see these words ranged before thee; driving, see them written upon the yoke. Then thou wilt get on Picture Quote #1

If thy friends be of better quality than thyself, thou mayest be sure of two things; first, they will be more careful to keep thy counsel, because they have more to lose than thou hast; the second, they will esteem thee for thyself, and not for that which thou dost possess Picture Quote #1

Let the foundation of thy affection be virtue, then make the building as rich as glorious as thou canst; if the foundation be beauty or wealth, and the building virtue, the foundation is too weak for the building, and it will fall: happy is he, the palace of whose affection is founded upon virtue, walled with riches glazed with beauty, and roofed with honor Picture Quote #1

Let honesty be as the breath of thy soul; then shalt thou reach the point of happiness, and independence shall be thy shield and buckler, thy helmet and crown; then shall thy soul walk upright, nor stoop to the silken wretch because he hath riches, nor pocket an abuse because the hand which offers it wears a ring set with diamonds Picture Quote #1

Children who are decked with prince’s robes and who have jeweled chains round their necks lose all pleasure in play; their dress hampers them at every step. In fear that it may be frayed, or stained with dust, they keep themselves from the world and are afraid ever to move. Mother, it is no gain, thy bondage of finery, if it keep one shut off from the healthful dust of the earth, if it rob one of the right of entrance to the great fair of common human life Picture Quote #1

Save for thee and thy lessons, man in society would everywhere sink into a sad compound of the fiend and the wild beast; and this fallen world would be as certainly a moral as a natural wilderness Picture Quote #1

If thou wouldst conquer thy weakness, thou must never gratify it. No man is compelled to evil: his consent only makes it his. It is no sin to be tempted, but to be overcome Picture Quote #1

Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full the resources that are within thy reach Picture Quote #1

Be thou incapable of change in that which is right, and men will rely upon thee. Establish unto thyself principles of action; and see that thou ever act according to them. First know that thy principles are just, and then be thou Picture Quote #1

Wake the power within thee slumbering, trim the plot that’s in thy keeping, thou wilt bless the task when reaping sweet labour’s prize Picture Quote #1

David and his followers taught no new doctrines, in their dispersion or when they came to power, that can be brought to countenance thee at all in shaving off thy beard Picture Quote #1

If... It be a thing external that causes thy grief, know, that it is not that properly that doth cause it, but thine own conceit and opinion concerning the thing: which thou mayest rid thyself of, when thou wilt Picture Quote #1

Have I done something for the general interest? Well then I have had my reward. Let this always be present to thy mind, and never stop doing such good Picture Quote #1

There are more things twixt the vermiform appendix and nirvana than are dreamt of in thy philosophy horatio Picture Quote #1

Thy liquid notes that close the eye of day, first heard before the shallow cuckoo’s bill, portend success in love Picture Quote #1

I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people Picture Quote #1

Art thou less a slave by being loved and favoured by thy master? Thou art indeed well off, slave. Thy master favours thee; he will soon beat thee Picture Quote #1

Take him, earth, for cherishing, to thy tender breast receive him. Body of a man I bring thee, noble even in its ruin Picture Quote #1

Take, o take him, mighty Leader, take again thy servant’s soul, to the house from which he wandered Exiled, erring, long ago Picture Quote #1

If thy fellows hurt thee in small things, suffer it! And be as bold with them! Picture Quote #1

Thy words are like a cloud of winged snakes; and yet I pity those they torture not Picture Quote #1

You shall not covet thy neighbor’s wife? Well, how about if she goddamn covets me? What do you think about that? Picture Quote #1
