Withe Quotes

A picture without sky has no glory. This present, unless we see gleaming beyond it the eternal calm of the heavens, above the tossing tree tops with withering leaves, and the smoky chimneys, is a poor thing for our eyes to gaze at, or our hearts to love, or our hands to toil on Picture Quote #1

The leaves are falling, falling as from way off, as though far gardens withered in the skies; they are falling with denying gestures. And in the nights the heavy earth is falling from all the stars down into loneliness. We all are falling. This hand falls. And look at others: it is in them all. And yet there is one who holds this falling endlessly gently in his hands Picture Quote #1

In this would I live; in this would I die; upon this would I dwell in my thoughts and affections, to the withering and consumption of all the painted beauties of this world, to the crucifying all things here below, until they become to me a dead and deformed thing, no way suitable for affectionate embraces Picture Quote #1

Man, when living, is soft and tender; when dead, he is hard and tough. All animals and plants when living are tender and delicate; when dead they become withered and dry. Therefore it is said: the hard and tough are parts of death; the soft and tender are parts of life Picture Quote #1

A man is born gentle and weak. At death, he is hard and stiff. Green plants are tender and filled with sap. At death, they are withered and dry. Therefore, the stiff and unbending is the disciple of death, and the gentle and yielding is the disciple of life Picture Quote #1

I painted two pictures of myself lately, one of which has rather the true character... I always think photographs abominable, and I don’t like to have them around, particularly not those of persons I know and love... photographic portraits wither much sooner than we ourselves do, whereas the painted portrait is a thing which is felt, done with love or respect for the human being that is portrayed Picture Quote #1

For if you change from inhumanity to alms giving, you have stretched fourth the hand that was withered. If you withdraw from theaters and go to church, you have cured the lame foot. If you draw back your eyes from a harlot... you have opened them when they were blind... These are the greatest miracles Picture Quote #1

When the mind is opening to that unbounded pure awareness, the field of pure intelligence, simultaneously the body is losing stresses and strains, and thereby the clouds that were hindering the use of inner full creative intelligence in action, they begin to wither away Picture Quote #1

There never yet has been a great system sustained by force under which all the best faculties of men have not slowly withered Picture Quote #1

One thing at a time, all things in succession. That which grows fast withers as rapidly; and that which grows slow endures Picture Quote #1

Old age diminishes our strength; it takes away our pleasures one after the other; it withers the soul as well as the body; it renders adventure and friendship difficult; and finally it is shadowed by thoughts of death Picture Quote #1

A person who tries to find good outside himself, wither in this life or in the one to come, is making a mistake Picture Quote #1

When you remove the risk, you remove the challenge. When you remove the challenge, you wither on the vine Picture Quote #1

At sixty I look back on a life of deep disappointments, of withered hopes, of unlooked for suffering, of severe discipline Picture Quote #1

One by one they were all becoming shades. Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age Picture Quote #1

Deference often shrinks and withers as much upon the approach of intimacy as the sensitive plant does upon the touch of one’s finger Picture Quote #1

What gained we, little moth? Thy ashes, thy one brief parting pang may show: and withering thoughts for soul that dashes, from deep to deep, are but a death more slow Picture Quote #1

Love is not only a feeling, it is also an art. A simple word, a sensitive precaution, a mere nothing reveal to a woman the sublime artist who can touch her heart without withering it Picture Quote #1

Pleasure is to women what the sun is to the flower; if moderately enjoyed, it beautifies, it refreshes, and it improves; if immoderately, it withers, deteriorates and destroys Picture Quote #1

An unhappy gentleman, resolving to wed nothing short of perfection, keeps his heart and hand till both get so old and withered that no tolerable woman will accept them Picture Quote #1

Roses bloom, and then they wither; cheeks are bright, then fade and die; shapes of light are wafted hither, then, like visions, hurry by Picture Quote #1

Women are so gentle, so affectionate, so true in sorrow, so untired and untiring! But the leaf withers not sooner, and tropic light fades not more abruptly Picture Quote #1

Heaven gave him all at once; then snatched away, ere mortals all his beauties could survey; just like the flower that buds and withers in a day Picture Quote #1

A good word will spread in the grapevine, bringing forth clusters of grapes and the benevolent of wine; a bad word will spread withering the vines, and choke the potential grapes Picture Quote #1
