Held Quotes

Night is fair virtue's immemorial friend; the conscious moon, through every distant age, has held a lamp to wisdom, and let fall on contemplation's eye her purging ray Picture Quote #1

The tatters of old stories are tangled, weathered, muted by long held silences that succeeded loud feuds, and sometimes no doubt re-dyed a more flattering color Picture Quote #1

To the artist is sometimes granted a sudden, transient insight which serves in this matter for experience. A flash, and where previously the brain held a dead fact, the soul grasps a living truth! At moments we are all artists Picture Quote #1

Measures must always in a progressive society be held superior to men, who are after all imperfect instruments, working for their fulfilment Picture Quote #1

Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show Picture Quote #1

The world is not a pleasant place to be without someone to hold and be held by Picture Quote #1

And the way he looked at her was so intense, his big green eyes probing into her, like he approved of everything she held inside Picture Quote #1

Friendship is held to be the severest test of character. It is easy, we think, to be loyal to a family and clan, whose blood is in your own veins Picture Quote #1

The first time around as a mom, I held on really tight and I was so stressed Picture Quote #1

If an apple blossom or a ripe apple could tell its own story, it would be, still more than its own, the story of the sunshine that smiled upon it, of the winds that whispered to it, of the birds that sang around it, of the storms that visited it, and of the motherly tree that held it and fed it until its petals were unfolded and its form developed Picture Quote #1

... and the night was comfortably warm as the soft filtered light continued to push the darkness into the shadows as they held each other and kissed and pushed each others darkness into the corner, believing in each others light, each others dream Picture Quote #1

It was the last time she’d see the river from that window. The last time of anything has the poignancy of death itself. This that I see now, she thought, to see no more this way. Oh, the last time how clearly you see everything; as though a magnifying light had been turned on it. And you grieve because you hadn’t held it tighter when you had it every day Picture Quote #1

It was rumored she held grudges till they died of old age, then had them stuffed and mounted Picture Quote #1

Surely if we knew what bitterness fate held in store, we would shrink back in fear and let the cup of life pass us by untasted Picture Quote #1

He lifted me up and held me close against him, my head on his shoulder. At that moment I loved him. In the morning light he was as golden, as soft, as gentle as myself, and he would protect me Picture Quote #1

Perhaps, he thought, true pure love, like all flowers, flourished best with its roots in muck and mud. Perhaps that was a law of life that held everything together Picture Quote #1

The intimacy that arises in listening and speaking truth is only possible if we can open to the vulnerability of our own hearts. Breathing in, contacting the life that is right here, is our first step. Once we have held ourselves with kindness, we can touch others in a vital and healing way Picture Quote #1

I ultimately decided to hold my tongue and settle instead for the comfort of ignorance. Not knowing the truth, I retained hope, and that hope I held like a smooth warm stone against my heart Picture Quote #1

I held a blue flower in my hand, probably a wild aster, wondering what its name was, and then thought that human names for natural things are superfluous. Nature herself does not name them. The important thing is to know this flower, look at its color until the blends becomes as real as a keynote of music. Look at the exquisite yellow flowerettes at the center, become very small with them. Be the flower, be the trees, the blowing grasses. Fly with the birds, jump with a squirrel! Picture Quote #1

Without justice being freely, fully, and impartially administered, neither our persons, nor our rights, nor our property, can be protected. And if these, or either of them, are regulated by no certain laws, and are subject to no certain principles, and are held by no certain tenure, and are redressed, when violated, by no certain remedies, society fails of all its value; and men may as well return to a state of savage and barbarous independence Picture Quote #1

I always felt that a scientist owes the world only one thing, and that is the truth as he sees it. If the truth contradicts deeply held beliefs, that is too bad. Tact and diplomacy are fine in international relations, in politics, perhaps even in business; in science only one thing matters, and that is the facts Picture Quote #1

That’s what courage is. Taking your disappointments and your failures, your guilt and your shame, all the wounds received and inflicted, and sinking them in the past. Starting again. Damning yesterday and facing tomorrow with your head held high. Times change. It’s those that see it coming, and plan for it, and change themselves to suit, that prosper Picture Quote #1

Remember that a wish held fervently turns into belief, and a belief held diligently becomes reality Picture Quote #1

We go forward with our heads held high, but look back and remember where we come from Picture Quote #1

Humanity can be divided into madmen and cowards. My personal tragedy is in being born into a world where sanity is held to be a character flaw Picture Quote #1

Success is won by those who believe in winning and then prepare for that moment. Many want to win, but how many prepare? That is the big difference. A sound value system held water then, holds water today, and will hold water in the future Picture Quote #1

I have learned that some people who look fine are more crippled than I am, by fears they can’t explain. Other people are held back by shyness, or anger. In making friends, I see the way some people handicap themselves. I believe there are choices each of us make every single day. We can dwell on our limitations or we can push ourselves past them Picture Quote #1

The twin guardian angels whose eyes and hands and wings had focused protective attention on the souls that lay there no longer faced each other. They stared blindly into a random middle distance. The scroll they held between them proclaiming eternal resurrection was broken in two Picture Quote #1

The very first time I realized what unconditional love meant ; was the very first time I held each one of my children in my arms. It was love at first sight Picture Quote #1

I am held by the creator of the world. I am opening, I am unbounded, I am luminous, I am powerful Picture Quote #1
