Why Quotes

But the very ransomed children of God themselves: why do they know so little of that habitual conscious communion with God which the Scriptures seem to offer? The answer is our chronic unbelief. Faith enables our spiritual sense to function. Where faith is defective the result will be inward insensibility and numbness toward spiritual things Picture Quote #1

Why slap them on the wrist with feather when you can belt them over the head with a sledgehammer Picture Quote #1

I was driving, which might have been unusual anywhere but here in the Kingdom of Hereford, which was unique in the Ununited Kingdoms for having driving tests based on maturity, not age. That explained why I'd had a license since I was thirteen, while some were still failing to make the grade at forty Picture Quote #1

We wonder why we don't have faith; the answer is, faith is confidence in the character of God and if we don't know what kind of God God is, we can't have faith Picture Quote #1

I am rather of the opinion that in England a gentleman's dreams are his own private concern. I fancy there is a law in that effect and, if there is not, why, Parliament should certainly be made to pass one immediately! It ill becomes another man to invite himself into them Picture Quote #1

I think we're a kind of desperation. We're sort of a maddening luxury. The basic and essential human is the woman, and all that we're doing is trying to brighten up the place. That's why all the birds who belong to our sex have prettier feathers - because males have got to try and justify their existence Picture Quote #1

Did you ever stop to think why cops are always famous for being dumb? Simple. Because they don't have to be anything else Picture Quote #1

Why then had I heard nothing? Everyone knows that the killing of a human being requires the exertion of a certain amount of mechanical energy. I forget the exact formula, although I know there is one Picture Quote #1

I am sure that the reason why I wept and stormed as if I had gone off my head was that the combination of physical exhaustion and my unhappiness had made me hate and resent everything Picture Quote #1

My characters are quite as real to me as so-called real people; which is one reason why I'm not subject to what is known as loneliness. I have plenty of company Picture Quote #1

Let every man abide in the calling wherein he is called and his work will be as sacred as the work of the ministry. It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it Picture Quote #1

Friend of my bosom, thou more than a brother, Why wert thou not born in my father's dwelling? 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

We would only multiply the number of victims. Our duty is to strengthen the state and defend the people, why, then, should we publish your book Picture Quote #1

Why should we add your book to the atomic weapons arrayed against us by our enemies. Publication of your book would help our enemies Picture Quote #1

To the youngsters of today, I say believe in the future, the world is getting better; there still is plenty of opportunity. Why, would you believe it, when I was a kid I thought it was already too late for me to make good at anything Picture Quote #1

If we who follow Christ, with all the facts before us and knowing what we are about, deliberately choose the kingdom of God as our sphere of interest, I see no reason why anyone should object. If we lose by it, the loss is our own; if we gain, we rob no one by so doing Picture Quote #1

Friend of my bosom, thou more than a brother, why wert not thou born in my father's dwelling? Picture Quote #1

When I started on Disneyland, my wife used to say, but why do you want to build an amusement park? they're so dirty. I told her that was just the point - mine wouldn't be Picture Quote #1

Why are we never quite at ease in the presence of a schoolmaster? Because we are conscious that he is not quite at his ease in ours. He is awkward, and out of place in the society of his equals. He comes like Gulliver from among his little people, and he cannot fit the stature of his understanding to yours Picture Quote #1

For years I wondered why dreams are so often dull when related, and this morning I find the answer, which is very simple - like most answers, you have always known it: No context... like a stuffed animal set on the floor of a bank Picture Quote #1

It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it Picture Quote #1

I feel that any form of so called psychotherapy is strongly contraindicated for addicts. The question why did you start using narcotics in the first place? Should never be asked. It is quite as irrelevant to treatment as it would be to ask a malarial patient why he went to a malarial area Picture Quote #1

Writing prejudicial, off-putting reviews is a precise exercise in applied black magic. The reviewer can draw free-floating disagreeable associations to a book by implying that the book is completely unimportant without saying exactly why, and carefully avoiding any clear images that could capture the reader's full attention Picture Quote #1

It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it. The motive is everything Picture Quote #1

Why did I always need to do something, like referring one person to another, just for the sake of doing something, when sometimes, perhaps, it was better to do nothing? Picture Quote #1

That day at chemo, we talked once more about the ending of The Reluctant Fundamentalist. “I just really want to know which character dies. I've read the ending again and again, ” I said. “I hate not knowing. ” “I do too. That's why I always read endings first. But sometimes you just can't know what's going to happen, even when you know everything there is to know. So you prepare for the worst but hope for the best.

Life depends on what she thinks of as ‘big bursts' and ‘little bursts. ' Big bursts are things like marriage or children, intimacies that keep you afloat, but these big bursts hold dangerous, unseen currents. Which is why you need the little bursts as well: a friendly clerk at Bradlee's, let's say, or the waitress at Dunkin' Donuts who knows how you like your coffee Picture Quote #1

I don't believe rape is inevitable or natural. If I did, I would have no reason to be here. If I did, my political practice would be different than it is. Have you ever wondered why we [women] are not just in armed combat against you? It's not because there's a shortage of kitchen knives in this country. It is because we believe in your humanity, against all the evidence Picture Quote #1

I listened; I wrote; I learned. I do not know why so many women trusted me enough to speak to me, but underneath anything I write one can hear the percussive sound of their heartbeats. If one has to pick one kind of pedagogy over all others, I pick listening. It breaks down prejudices and stereotypes; it widens self-imposed limits; it takes one into another's life, her hard times and, if there is any, her joy too Picture Quote #1
