Upon Quotes

We who are engaged in the sacred cause of education are entitled to look upon all parents as having given hostages to our cause Picture Quote #1

Admire a small ship, but put your freight in a large one; for the larger the load, the greater will be the profit upon profit Picture Quote #1

Truth should not be forced; it should simply manifest itself, like a woman who has in her privacy reflected and coolly decided to bestow herself upon a certain man Picture Quote #1

Your time is a good time, and though I have to leave, you can stay. How lucky you are to be in the city just before it opens its eyes upon a golden age Picture Quote #1

And even when I was broken the way sometimes one can be broken, and even though I had fallen, I found upon arising that I was stronger than before, that the glories, if I may call them that, which I had loved so much and that had been darkened in my fall, were shinning even brighter and nearly everytime subsequently I have fallen and darkness has come over me, they have obstinately arisen, not as they were, but brighter Picture Quote #1

At least until there are new lakes in the clouds that open upon living cities as yet unknown, and perhaps forever, that is a question which you must answer within your own heart Picture Quote #1

My father provided; he gathered things to himself and let them fall upon the world; my clothes, my food, my luxurious hopes had fallen to me from him, and for the first time his death seemed, even at its immense stellar remove of impossibility, a grave and dreadful threat Picture Quote #1

If thou shouldst lay up even a little upon a little, and shouldst do this often, soon would even this become great Picture Quote #1

So you, the kings, you too must reflect upon this punishment, because the immortals are here in the midst of manking, observing those who do not hold the gods in awe... but grind each other down with crooked judgements Picture Quote #1

Hope bases vast premises upon foolish accidents and reads a word where, in fact, only a scribble exists Picture Quote #1

Rigel, Betelgeuse, and Orion. There was no finer church, no finer choir, than the stars speaking in silence to the many consumptives silently condemned, a legion upon the dark rooftops. The wind came down from the north like a runner in lacrosse, violent and hard, to batter every living thing. They were there, each one alone in conversation with the stars, mining ephemeral love from cold and distant light Picture Quote #1

The ultimate meaning of words cannot be found in what the listener hears but in what he listens to upon hearing Picture Quote #1

The river, tonally, does not recede, presenting the same lifeless grey near and far, a depthless plane upon which Schmitt's dragging oars inscribe parallel lines and Eakins' oars, rising and falling, leave methodically spaced patches of disturbed water. The canvas is haunting - en evocation of the democracy's idyllic, isolating spaciousness, present even in the midst of a great Eastern city Picture Quote #1

We knew - but didn't want to know - what was going to happen, the sky descending upon our heads like the shadow of a falling piano in a cartoon Picture Quote #1

Some people have a knack of putting upon you gifts of no real value, to engage you to substantial gratitude. We thank them for nothing Picture Quote #1

But this hunger must be recognized by our religious leaders. Current evangelicalism has (to change the figure) laid the altar and divided the sacrifice into parts, but now seems satisfied to count the stones and rearrange the pieces with never a care that there is not a sign of fire upon the top of lofty Carmel. But God be thanked that there are a few who care Picture Quote #1

How tragic that we in this dark day have had our seeking done for us by our teachers. Everything is made to center upon the initial act of

God Himself is here waiting our response to His Presence. This eternal world will come alive to us the moment we begin to reckon upon its reality Picture Quote #1

How sickness enlarges the dimensions of a man's self to himself! He is his own exclusive object. Supreme selfishness is inculcated upon him as his only duty Picture Quote #1

We are nothing; less than nothing, and dreams. We are only what might have been, and must wait upon the tedious shores of Lethe millions of ages before we have existence, and a name Picture Quote #1

A miser is sometimes a grand personification of fear. He has a fine horror of poverty; and he is not content to keep want from the door, or at arm's length, but he places it, by heaping wealth upon wealth, at a sublime distance! Picture Quote #1

I conceive disgust at these impertinent and misbecoming familiarities inscribed upon your ordinary tombstone Picture Quote #1

It is with some violence to the imagination that we conceive of an actor belonging to the relations of private life, so closely do we identify these persons in our mind with the characters which they assume upon the stage Picture Quote #1

Milton almost requires a solemn service of music to be played before you enter upon him. But he brings his music, to which who listen had need bring docile thoughts and purged ears Picture Quote #1

Be not frightened at the hard words imposition, imposture; give and ask no questions. Cast thy bread upon the waters. Some have, unawares, entertained angels Picture Quote #1

A woman asked a coachman, are you full inside? Upon which Lamb put his head through the window and said, I am quite full inside; that last piece of pudding at Mr. Gillman's did the business for me Picture Quote #1

What God says to His Church at any given period depends altogether upon her moral and spiritual condition and upon the spiritual need of the hour Picture Quote #1

I own that I am disposed to say grace upon twenty other occasions in the course of the day besides my dinner. I want a form for setting out upon a pleasant walk, for a moonlight ramble, for a friendly meeting, or a solved problem. Why have none for books, those spiritual repasts - a grace before Milton - a grace before Shakespeare - a devotional exercise proper to be said before reading the Fairy Queen? Picture Quote #1

Until we have seen ourselves as God see us, we are not likely to be much disturbed over conditions around us as long as they do not get so far out of hand as to threaten our comfortable way of life. We have learned to live with unholiness and have come to look upon it as the natural and expected thing Picture Quote #1

We taste Thee, O Thou Living Bread, And long to feast upon Thee still: We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead And thirst our souls from Thee to fill Picture Quote #1
