Told Quotes

They danced on the shore in marvelous, civilized, humorous reels in which the old contributed wit when they could not contribute grace, and the young listened to their elders, who told them in their dancing to hold on, to love, to be patient, and most of all, to trust Picture Quote #1

He has told us that He is the hungry one. He is the naked one. He is the thirsty one. He is the one without a home. He is the one who is suffering. These are our treasures, she said, looking at the rows of pallets in the caravanserai. They are Jesus Picture Quote #1

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? Picture Quote #1

Complementary to his is Thurber's remark that humour is a kind of emotional chaos, told about quietly and calmly in retrospect. Emotional chaos is not pleasant; distillation of that chaos afterward may perhaps be pleasant in some of its aspects, and undoubtedly gives pleasure to others Picture Quote #1

I object to being told that I am saving daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind... At the back of the Daylight Saving scheme, I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make them healthy, wealthy, and wise in spite of themselves Picture Quote #1

I was angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow Picture Quote #1

(On seeing a former lover for the first time in years) I thought I told you to wait in the car Picture Quote #1

What is told into the ear of a man is often heard a hundred miles away Picture Quote #1

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing Picture Quote #1

My father was very strong. I don't agree with a lot of the ways he brought me up. I don't agree with a lot of his values, but he did have a lot of integrity, and if he told us not to do something, he didn't do it either Picture Quote #1

My relationship to power and authority is that I'm all for it. People need somebody to watch over them. Ninety-five percent of the people in the world need to be told what to do and how to behave Picture Quote #1

One believes in the truthfulness of a man because of his long experience with the man, and because the man has always told a consistent story. But no man has told so consistent a story as nature Picture Quote #1

When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become president; I'm beginning to believe it Picture Quote #1

If you talked or laughed in church, told lies, had impure thoughts or conversations, you were bad; if you obeyed your parents or guardians, went to confession and communion regularly, said prayers for the dead, you were good Picture Quote #1

If we disagree and I think I'm right, I just go ahead and do what I think is right. And then she tells me, 'I told you so' Picture Quote #1

My earliest memory is of feeling different. My parents told me that I wasn't like other children Picture Quote #1

Twenty or thirty years ago, in the army, we had a lot of obscure adventures, and years later we tell them at parties, and suddenly we realize that those two very difficult years of our lives have become lumped together into a few episodes that have lodged in our memory in a standardized form, and are always told in a standardized way, in the same words. But in fact that lump of memories has nothing whatsoever to do with our experience of those two years in the army and what it has made of us Picture Quote #1

He told me once the saddest thing that can befall the soul, is when it loses faith in God and woman, for he had lost them both. Lost I those gems, though the world's throne stood open in my path, I would go wandering back into my childhood, searching for them with tears Picture Quote #1

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman,

I decided to pursue music, so I dropped out of school and I told my parents I didn't want any money from them. I got three jobs and I just hit the ground running Picture Quote #1

I've been told the weirdest things: 'yeah, I love taking a bath to your music!' or 'i gave birth to my daughter while listening to your music.' Picture Quote #1

Patriotism, in the trenches, was too remote a sentiment, and at once rejected as fit only for civilians, or prisoners. A new arrival who talked patriotism would soon be told to cut it out Picture Quote #1

Someone told me that each equation I included in my book would halve the sales. I did put in one equation, Einstein's famous equation, E = MC squared. I hope that this will not scare off half of my potential readers Picture Quote #1
