Cease Quotes

My principal motive is the belief that we can still make admirable sense of our lives even if we cease to have... an ambition of transcendence Picture Quote #1

We stop the one who can’t cease from seeking things outside, and practice with our bodies with a posture that seeks absolutely nothing. This is zazen Picture Quote #1

Men do not rest content with parrying the attacks of a superior, but often strike the first blow to prevent the attack being made. And we cannot fix the exact point at which our empire shall stop; we have reached a position in which we must not be content with retaining but must scheme to extend it, for, if we cease to rule others, we are in danger of being ruled ourselves. Nor can you look at inaction from the same point of view as others, unless you are prepared to change your habits and make them like theirs Picture Quote #1

For those men who, sooner or later, are lucky enough to break away from the pack, the most intoxicating moment comes when they cease being bodies in other men’s command and find that they control their own time, when they learn their own voice and authority Picture Quote #1

Hatred does not cease in this world by hating, but by not hating; this is an eternal truth Picture Quote #1

The time has come when scientific truth must cease to be the property of the few, when it must be woven into the common life of the world Picture Quote #1

Finished things cease to be a shelter for the spirit; but work in progress is a delight Picture Quote #1

Against the sustained tick of a watch, fiction takes the measure of a life, a season, a look exchanged, the turning point, desire as brief as a dream, the grief and terror that after childhood we cease to express Picture Quote #1

The small share of happiness attainable by man exists only insofar as he is able to cease to think of himself Picture Quote #1

Childhood is the world of miracle and wonder; as if creation rose, bathed in the light, out of the darkness, utterly new and fresh and astonishing. The end of childhood is when things cease to astonish us Picture Quote #1

When will the public cease to insult the teacher’s calling with empty flattery? When will men who would never for a moment encourage their own sons to enter the work of the public schools cease to tell us that education is the greatest and noblest of all human callings? Picture Quote #1

The wealth and prosperity of the country are only the comeliness of the body, the fullness of the flesh and fat; but the spirit is independent of them; it requires only muscle, bone and nerve for the true exercise of its functions. We cannot lose our liberty, because we cannot cease to think Picture Quote #1

The wife was pretty, trifling, childish, weak; She could not think, but would not cease to speak Picture Quote #1

I’m waiting for the day when my children cease to find my domestic propriety reassuring and actually find it annoying Picture Quote #1

Television, radio, and all the sources of amusement and information that surround us in our daily lives are also artificial props. They can give us the impression that our minds are active, because we are required to react to stimuli from the outside. But the power of those external stimuli to keep us going is limited. They are like drugs. We grow used to them, and we continuously need more and more of them. Eventually, they have little or no effect. Then, if we lack resources within ourselves, we cease to grow intellectually, morally, and spiritually. And we we cease to grow, we begin to die Picture Quote #1

And a mother without children is not a mother at all, and if I am not a mother, than I am nothing. Nothing. I am like sugar dissolved in a glass of water. Or, I am like salt, which disappears when you cook with it. I am salt. Without my children, I cease to exist Picture Quote #1

If men only felt about death as they do about sleep, all terrors would cease... Men sleep contentedly, assured that they will wake the following morning. They should feel the same about their lives Picture Quote #1

You are a person and then you cease to be a person, and a cadaver takes your place Picture Quote #1

Amor animi arbitrio sumitu, non ponitur; we choose to love; we do not choose to cease loving Picture Quote #1

I had to cease to mourn what could never be and make the most of what was possible. And I would begin doing that by trying to mend the hurts of the past Picture Quote #1

Cease to be a disobedient child in the school of experience, and begin to learn, with humility and patience, the lessons that are set for your ultimate perfection Picture Quote #1

If we one day cease to exist, what will be remarkable is that we were ever here at all Picture Quote #1

No matter what measures are taken, doctors will sometimes falter, and it isn’t reasonable to ask that we achieve perfection. What is reasonable is to ask that we never cease to aim for it Picture Quote #1

I’d like to die listening to a piece of music. I imagine this as so easy, so natural, but naturally it’s quite impossible. Notes stab too softly. The wounds they leave behind may smart, but they don’t fester. Melancholy and pain trickle out instead of blood. When the notes cease, all is peaceful within me again Picture Quote #1

What is most important is to cease legislating for all lives what is liveable only for some, and similarly, to refrain from proscribing for all lives what is unlivable for some Picture Quote #1

I simply want to reach a level where I will never cease to make progress... so that, even on the bad evenings, I may never be bad enough to despair Picture Quote #1

The time has come to lower our voices, to cease imposing our mechanistic patterns on the biological processes of the earth, to resist the impulse to control, to command, to force, to oppress, and to begin quite humbly to follow the guidance of the larger community on which all life depends Picture Quote #1

He meant that when people laugh together, they cease to be young and old, master and pupils, jailer and prisoners. They become a single group of human beings enjoying its existence Picture Quote #1

Commonplaces never become tiresome. It is we who become tired when we cease to be curious and appreciative Picture Quote #1

Let us never cease to feel compassion for those in want. Let us never tire of helping victims of injustice and oppression. He who puts his faith in the restoration of human dignity cannot be wrong Picture Quote #1
