Well Quotes

Not surprisingly, he began to sing, and because no one in the world could hear him, and he sang without inhibition, he sang well Picture Quote #1

Better marry a maiden, so you can teach her good manners, and in particular marry one who lives close by you. Look her well over first. Don't marry what will make your neighbors laugh at you, for while there's nothing better a man can win him than a good wife, there's nothing more dismal than a bad one Picture Quote #1

I mean you well, Perses, you great idiot, and I will tell you. Look, badness is easy to have, you can take it by handfuls without effort. The road that way is smooth and starts here beside you. But between us and virtue the immortals have put what will make us sweat. The road to virtue is long and goes steep up hill, hard climbing at first, but the last of it, when you get to the summit (if you get there) is easy going after the hard part Picture Quote #1

He knew very well that love could be like the most beautiful singing, that it could make death inconsequential, that it existed in forms so pure and strong that it was capable of reordering the universe. He knew this, and that he lacked it, and yet as he stood in the courtyard of the Palazzo Venezia, watching diplomats file quietly out the gate, he was content, for he suspected that to command the profoundest love might in the end be far less beautiful a thing than to suffer its absence Picture Quote #1

The creative writer uses his life as well as being its victim; he can control, in his work, the self-presentation that in actuality is at the mercy of a thousand accidents Picture Quote #1

He felt as if he were paying for the privilege of music with portions of his life and body. But it was well worth it Picture Quote #1

It rots a writer's brain, it cretinises you. You say the same thing again and again, and when you do that happily you're well on the way to being a cretin. Or a politician Picture Quote #1

Contented, unambitious people are all very well in their way. They form a neat, useful background for great portraits to be painted against, and they make a respectable, if not particularly intelligent, audience for the active spirits of the age to play before Picture Quote #1

We too are called to withdraw at certain intervals into deeper silence and aloneness with God, together as a community as well as personally; to be alone with Him - not with our books, thoughts, and memories but completely stripped of everything - to dwell lovingly in His presence, silent, empty, expectant, and motionless. We cannot find God in noise or agitation Picture Quote #1

Each day offers us the gift of being a special occasion if we can simply learn that as well as giving, it is blessed to receive with grace and a grateful heart Picture Quote #1

How good one feels when one is full -- how satisfied with ourselves and with the world! People who have tried it, tell me that a clear conscience makes you very happy and contented; but a full stomach does the business quite as well, and is cheaper, and more easily obtained Picture Quote #1

We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something Picture Quote #1

They say - people who ought to be ashamed of themselves do - that the consciousness of being well dressed imparts a blissfulness to the human heart that religion is powerless to bestow. I am afraid these cynical persons are sometimes correct Picture Quote #1

Conceit is the finest armor that a man can wear. Upon its smooth, impenetrable surface the puny dagger-thrusts of spite and envy glance harmlessly aside. Without that breast-plate the sword of talent cannot force its way through the battle of life, for blows have to be borne as well as dealt Picture Quote #1

There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use Picture Quote #1

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence Picture Quote #1

The family only represents one aspect, however important an aspect, of a human being's functions and activities... A life is beautiful and ideal, or the reverse, only when we have taken into our consideration the social as well as the family relationship Picture Quote #1

I was reading Dorothy Dix this afternoon; she says that it is permissible for a young man to tell a girl he knows fairly well that she has pretty ankles; from this I assume that the better he knows her the higher he may praise her Picture Quote #1

The world does so well without me, that I am moved to wish that I could do equally well without the world Picture Quote #1

'Tis well enough for a servant to be bred at an university. But the education is a little too pedantic for a gentleman Picture Quote #1

What would be the use of immortality to a person who cannot use well a half an hour Picture Quote #1

One must be an inventor to read well. There is then creative reading as well as creative writing Picture Quote #1

With money in your pocket, you are wise, you are handsome, and you sing well too Picture Quote #1

I wish you well and so I take my leave, I pray you know me when we meet again Picture Quote #1

And since you know you cannot see yourself, so well as by reflection, I, your glass, will modestly discover to yourself, that of yourself which you yet know not of Picture Quote #1

Talking isn't doing. It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds Picture Quote #1

Well, the chairman of Federal Reserve just made his move to rescue Barack Obama. We're gonna have QE3. We're gonna print some more money Picture Quote #1
