Text Quotes
It never frightened a puritan when you bade him stand still and listen to the speech of God. His closet and his church were full of the reverberations of the awful, gracious, beautiful voice for which he listened (We Quotes)
Everywhere the flower of obedience is intelligence. Obey a man with cordial loyalty and you will understand him (We Quotes)
From the midst of the very fountain of pleasure, something of bitterness arises to vex us in the flower of enjoyment (We Quotes)
We need new friends; some of us are cannibals who have eaten their old friends up; others must have ever renewed audiences before to reenact an ideal version of their lives (We Quotes)
This land is a little land; too much shut up within the narrow seas, as it seems, to have much space for swelling into hugeness (We Quotes)
I gave up on new poetry myself thirty years ago, when most of it began to read like coded messages passing between lonely aliens on a hostile world (We 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 (We Quotes)
That old bell, presage of a train, had just sounded through oxford station; and the undergraduates who were waiting there, gay figures in tweed or flannels, moved to the margin of the platform and gazed idly up the line (We Quotes)
O Earth! All bathed with blood and years, yet never hast thou ceased putting forth thy fruit and flowers (We 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 (We Quotes)
Divine wisdom, intending to detain us some time on Earth, has done well to cover with a veil the prospect of life to come; for if our sight could clearly distinguish the opposite bank, who would remain on this tempestuous coast? (We Quotes)
Tombs decked by the arts can scarcely represent death as a formidable enemy; we do not, indeed, like the ancients, carve sports and dances in the sarcophagus, but thought is diverted from the bier by works that tell of immortality, even from the altar of death (We Quotes)
Have you not observed that faith is generally strongest in those whose character may be called the weakest? (We Quotes)
Men have made of fortune an all-powerful Goddess, in order that she may be made responsible for all their blunder's (We 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 (We Quotes)
Only the refined and delicate pleasures that spring from research and education can build up barriers between different ranks (We Quotes)
Superstition is related to this life, religion to the next; superstition is allied to fatality, religion to virtue; it is by the vivacity of Earthly desires that we become superstitious; it is. On the contrary, by the sacrifice of these desires that we become religious (We Quotes)
It seems to me that we become more dear one to the other, in together admiring works of art, which speak to the soul by their true grandeur (We Quotes)
Mystery such as is given of God is beyond the power of human penetration, yet not in opposition to it (We Quotes)
Where we really love, we often dread more than we desire the solemn moment that exchanges hope for certainty (We 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? (We Quotes)
Sweetest lord, make me appreciative of the dignity of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience (We Quotes)
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. I do not agree with the big way of doing things (We 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 (We Quotes)
Jesus taught us how to forgive out of love, how to forget out of humility. So let us examine our hearts and see if there is any unforgiven hurt - any unforgotten bitterness! It is easy to love those who are far away. It isn't always easy to love those who are right next to us. It is easier to offer food to the hungry than to answer the lonely suffering of someone who lacks love right in one's own family. The world today is upside down because there is so very little love in the home, and in family life (We Quotes)
Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies (We Quotes)
If there are people who feel that God wants them to change the structures of society, that is something between them and their God. We must serve him in whatever way we are called. I am called to help the individual; to love each poor person. Not to deal with institutions. I am in no position to judge (We Quotes)
We must have a real living determination to reach holiness. I will be a saint means I will despoil myself of all that is not God; I will strip my heart of all created things; I will live in poverty and detachment; I will renounce my will, my inclinations, my whims and fancies, and make myself a willing slave to the will of God (We Quotes)
Without out suffering, our work would just be social work, very good and helpful, but it would not be the work of Jesus Christ, not part of the redemption. All the desolation of the poor people, not only their material poverty, but their spiritual destitution, must be redeemed. And we must share it, for only by being one with them can we redeem them by bringing God into their lives and bringing them to God (We Quotes)
The trouble is that rich people, well-to-do people, very often don't really know who the poor are; and that is why we can forgive them, for knowledge can only lead to love, and love to service. And so, if they are not touched by them, it's because they do not know them (We Quotes)
