Text Quotes
No wizard has ever made himself useful by magic, or, if they’ve tried, they’ve only made matters worse. No wizard ever stopped a war or mended a fence. It’s better that they stay in their marshes, out of the way of worldly folk like farmers and soldiers and merchants and kings  (Worldly Quotes) No worldly pursuit compares to the joy of experiencing the change of one soul from death to life  (Worldly Quotes) In the history of a soul’s evolution there is a critical point of the human incarnation that decides for us whether we stay there, go down or progress upwards. There is a knot of worldly desires impeding us; cut the knot by mastering desires and go forward. This done, progress is assured  (Worldly Quotes) A poet’s freedom lies precisely in the impossibility of worldly success. It is the freedom of one who knows he will never be anything but a failure in the world’s estimation, and may do as he pleases. The poet is a man on the sidelines of life, sidelined for life. He belongs to the aristocracy of the outcast, the lowest of the low, below the salt of the earth. A member of the most ancient regime in the world. One that cannot, it seems, be overthrown  (Worldly Quotes) Climbing is a heroic liberating act; and height spontaneously symbolizes things of high value, be it in the value of worldly power or of spirituality. To rise in an elevator, balloon, or airplane is to experience being liberated from weight, sublimated, invested with superhuman abilities. In addition, to rise from the earth is to approach the realm of light and overview. Therefore the negative overcoming of weight is at the same time the positive achievement of enlightenment and an unobstructed outlook  (Worldly Quotes) It is a mournful fact that most men, and indeed all men of worldly character, have so much regard to public opinion that they dare not act according to the dictates of their consciences when acting thus would incur the popular frown  (Worldly Quotes) You will never enjoy the sweetness of a quiet prayer unless you shut your mind to all worldly desires and temporal affairs  (Worldly Quotes) Many people are very intelligent in accomplishing worldly attainments. This intelligence is not wisdom because worldly attainments such as a high position, reputation, wealth and success in business are deceptive. If we die tomorrow they will disappear tomorrow, and nothing will be left for our future. Wisdom, however, will never deceive us  (Worldly Quotes) When the mind is full of worldly desires, it is their very nature to confuse the mind. Withdraw the mind from outer things and turn it inwards  (Worldly Quotes) It is easier to renounce worldly possessions than it is to renounce the love of them  (Worldly Quotes) Regard as free not those whose status makes them outwardly free, but those who are free in their character and conduct. For we should not call men truly free when they are wicked and dissolute, since they are slaves to worldly passions. Freedom and happiness of soul consist in genuine purity and detachment from transitory things  (Worldly Quotes) If one burdens the future with one’s worries, it cannot grow organically. I am filled with confidence, not that I shall succeed in worldly things, but that even when things go badly for me I shall still find life good and worth living  (Worldly Quotes) There is nothing in our experience, however trivial, worldly, or even evil, which cannot be thought about christianly  (Worldly Quotes) My mother went to university, my father didn’t. But they are very educated, very wise people. My father went to the military, so he’s worldly  (Worldly Quotes) I’ll say this, I’m no stranger to working with a foreign cast, foreign directors, that sort of thing. I love it, because I think that when you have people from different countries, it sort of brings everyone together, it’s more of a worldly film  (Worldly Quotes) I haven’t really been able to transfer into that extraordinarily other worldly creature, other than I hope on stage  (Worldly Quotes) There is no treasure the which may be compared unto a faithful friend; Gold some decayeth, and worldly wealth consumeth, and wasteth in the winde; But love once planted in a perfect and pure minde indureth weale and woe; The frownes of fortune, come they never so unkinde, cannot the same overthrowe  (Worldly Quotes) No one can liberate you, for no one has bound you; you hold on to the nettle of worldly pleasures and you weep for pain. The kite is pursued by the crows so long as it carries the fish in its beak, it twists and turns in the sky trying to last and it drops the fish. That moment it is free. So give up the attachment to the senses; then grief and worry can harass you no more  (Worldly Quotes) She lives a sophisticate’s life among worldly people. At the slightest excuse she steps out of civilization, naked and relieved, as I should step out of a soiled chemise  (Worldly Quotes) I call those men worldly, earthly, or coarse, whose hearts and minds are wholly fixed on this earth, that small part of the universe they are placed in ; who value and love nothing beyond it ; whose minds are as cramped as that narrow spot of ground they call their estate, of which the extent is measured, the acres are numbered, and the limits well known  (Worldly Quotes) It’s quite a thing, if you’ve never been in or known a small southern town. The people are not particularly sophisticated, naturally. They’re not worldly wise in any way. But they tell you a story whenever they see you  (Worldly Quotes) We all have personalities, but in football a lot of times you don’t talk about that because you want to focus more on the grit and grind of the season, instead of people’s personal styles or worldly habits  (Worldly Quotes) Wise men never grow up; indeed, they grow younger, for they lose the appalling worldly wisdom of youth  (Worldly Quotes) Knowledge, which is power, knows no limits, either in its enslavement of creation or in its deference to worldly masters  (Worldly Quotes) I really enjoyed being a blonde. Men were more friendly and flirtatious. My face looked more worldly. It took the innocence away. It could be the new me  (Worldly Quotes) I was very immersed in the world. I’m very worldly. I love world. I was immersed in my career, in school, in teaching  (Worldly Quotes) Christ’s religion needs no prop of any kind from any worldly source, and to the degree that it is thus supported is a millstone hanged about its neck  (Worldly Quotes) Nothing is so pleasant... as to display your worldly wisdom in epigram and dissertation, but it is a trifle tedious to hear another person display theirs  (Worldly Quotes) As there is no worldly gain without some loss, so there is no worldly loss without some gain... Set the allowance against the loss, and thou shalt find no loss great  (Worldly Quotes) Achievement doesn’t come from what we do, but from who we are. Our worldly power results from our personal power. Our career is an extension of our personality  (Worldly Quotes)
