Ant Quotes

May this house stand until an ant drinks the ocean and a tortoise circles the world Picture Quote #1

The ant, who has toiled and dragged a crumb to his nest, will furiously defend the fruit of his labor, against whatever robber assails him. So plain, that the most dumb and stupid slave that ever toiled for a master, does constantly know that he is wronged. So plain that no one, high or low, ever does mistake it, except in a plainly selfish way; for although volume upon volume is written to prove slavery a very good thing, we never hear of the man who wishes to take the good of it, by being a slave himself Picture Quote #1

Argentine political life is like the life of an ant community or an African forest tribe: full of events, full of crisis and deaths, but life is always cyclical, and the year ends as it begins Picture Quote #1

At court one becomes a sort of human ant eater, and learns to catch one's prey by one's tongue Picture Quote #1

I hit him more times than necessary but by then my actions were mostly chemical, like a soldier ant or a teenager in love Picture Quote #1

Who may be called a paramahamsa? He who, like a swan, can take the milk from a mixture of milk and water, leaving aside the water. He who, like an ant, can take the sugar from a mixture of sugar and sand, leaving aside the sand Picture Quote #1

There is a perfect ant, a perfect bee, but man is perpetually unfinished... Moreover, the incurable unfinishedness keeps man perpetually immature, perpetually capable of learning and growing Picture Quote #1

Ants are good citizens; they place group interest first. But they carry it so far, they have few or no political rights. An ant doesn’t have the vote, apparently; he just has his duties Picture Quote #1

The life of an ant and the life of my child should be accorded equal respect Picture Quote #1

The idiotic industry of an ant building his hill in the path of a glacier, and imagining that he is free Picture Quote #1

Like an ant, I will find my way round any obstacle. Like a child, I will persevere with pinpoint focus Picture Quote #1

It’s only when you look at an ant through a magnifying glass on a sunny day that you realize how often they burst into flames Picture Quote #1

Everything is a hero: A lighthouse which gives light to us; weeds that provide shelter to little insects; a water drop which quenches a thirsty ant! Everything that helps us to live is a hero! Picture Quote #1

Nature attains perfection, but man never does. There is a perfect ant, a perfect bee, but man is perpetually unfinished. He is both an unfinished animal and an unfinished man. It is this incurable unfinishedness which sets man apart from other living things. For, in the attempt to finish himself, man becomes a creator. Moreover, the incurable unfinishedness keeps man perpetually immature, perpetually capable of learning and growing Picture Quote #1

Giving no pain to any creature, let him slowly accumulate spiritual merit, for the sake,of acquiring a companion to the next world, just as the white ant,gradually raises its hill Picture Quote #1

The instincts of the ant are very unimportant, considered as the ants; but the moment a ray of relation is seen to be a monitor, a little body with a mighty heart, then all its habits, even that said to be recently observed, that it never sleeps, become sublime Picture Quote #1

The key is really just saying my brain isn’t big enough to figure out why everything happens. It would be like an ant trying to understand the internet Picture Quote #1

I would like to live a day in the life of an ant and hope not to get squashed Picture Quote #1

I will confess that I have no more sense of what goes on in the mind of mankind than I have for the mind of an ant Picture Quote #1

What reason, like the careful ant, draws laboriously together, the wind of accident sometimes collects in a moment Picture Quote #1

It was as if his point of view had, within seconds, gone from that of an ant to that of an eagle. For the sky was hollow, and the world was round Picture Quote #1

She watched me with a creepy sort of detached curiosity, as if I were a bug crawling across the sidewalk in front of her. I wondered briefly if she was the ant stomper type Picture Quote #1
