Lent Quotes

The celebration of Lent, in the context of the Year of Faith, offers us a valuable opportunity to meditate on the relationship between faith and charity: between believing in God - the God of Jesus Christ - and love, which is the fruit of the Holy Spirit and which guides us on the path of devotion to God and others Picture Quote #1

Frank [Zappa] was not a big fan of having lyrics, but sometimes he had things to say that lent themselves to lyrics Picture Quote #1

I didn’t really like reading much before I did ‘The Golden Compass’. But then my teacher told me to read it. And I thought, ‘Oh God, I’m going to have to read a whole book by myself!’ It’s not that I couldn’t read, it’s just that I didn’t really like books very much. But the book that she lent me I really enjoyed Picture Quote #1

Nor knowest thou what argument Thy life to thy neighbor’s creed has lent. All are needed by each one; Nothing is fair or good alone Picture Quote #1

No one has taken my heart in their hand. I haven’t given it... I have lent myself, rented myself out, but never given myself Picture Quote #1

Lent is a time to renew wherever we are in that process that I call the divine therapy. It’s a time to look what our instinctual needs are, look at what the dynamics of our unconscious are Picture Quote #1

I have lost my seven best friends, which is to say God has had mercy on me seven times without realizing it. He lent a friendship, took it from me, sent me another Picture Quote #1

Nor knowest thou what argument Thy life to thy neighbor's creed has lent: all are needed by each one, Nothing is fair or good alone Picture Quote #1

Then came the second Amsterdam discovery, although the principle was known elsewhere. Bank deposits...did not need to be left idly in the bank. They could be lent. The bank then got interest. The borrower then had a deposit that he could spend. But the original deposit still stood to the credit of the original depositor. That too could be spent. Money, spendable money, had been created. Let no one rub his or her eyes. It's still being done - every day. The creation of money by a bank is as simple as this, so simple, I've often said, that the mind is slightly repelled Picture Quote #1

While reason drew the plan, the heart inform'd the moral page and fancy lent it grace Picture Quote #1

When common objects in this way be come charged with the suggestion of horror, they stimulate the imagination far more than things of unusual appearance; and these bushes, crowding huddled about us, assumed for me in the darkness a bizarre grotesquerie of appearance that lent to them somehow the aspect of purposeful and living creatures. Their very ordinariness, I felt, masked what was malignant and hostile to us Picture Quote #1

Achieving the summit of a mountain was tangible, immutable, concrete. The incumbent hazards lent the activity a seriousness of purpose that was sorely missing from the rest of my life. I thrilled in the fresh perspective that came from the tipping the ordinary plane of existence on end Picture Quote #1

Man wants but little, nor that little long; how soon must he resign his very dust, which frugal nature lent him for an hour! Picture Quote #1

A man who believes the word of a donkey in preference to my word does not deserve to be lent anything Picture Quote #1

I lent a friend of mine $10,000 for plastic surgery and now I don’t know what he looks like Picture Quote #1

No one has taken my heart in their hand. I haven’t given it... I have lent myself, rented myself out, but never given myself Picture Quote #1

The passive master lent his hand, to the vast soul which o’er him planned Picture Quote #1

I hated tobacco. I could have almost lent my support to any institution that had for its object the putting of tobacco smokers to death... I now feel that smoking in moderation is a comfortable and laudable practice, and is productive of good. There is no more harm in a pipe than in a cup of tea. You may poison yourself by drinking too much green tea, and kill yourself by eating too many beefsteaks. For my part, I consider that tobacco, in moderation, is a sweetener and equalizer of the temper Picture Quote #1

The paradoxes of today are the prejudices of tomorrow, since the most benighted and the most deplorable prejudices have had their moment of novelty when fashion lent them its fragile grace Picture Quote #1

Jazz has borrowed from other genres of music and also has lent itself to other genres of music Picture Quote #1

Never lend books, for no one ever returns them; the only books I have in my library are books that other folks have lent me Picture Quote #1

Of darkness visible so much be lent, as half to show, half veil, the deep intent Picture Quote #1

Nature has lent us life at interest, like money, and has fixed no day for its payment Picture Quote #1

Children are a precious gift, but they belong to no one but themselves. They are only lent us a little while Picture Quote #1

Easter is so disappointing. You suffer all the way through lent, and what do you get for it? A ham Picture Quote #1

Love lent me wings; my path was like a stair; a lamp unto my feet, that sun was given; and death was safety and great joy to find; but dying now, I shall not climb to Heaven Picture Quote #1

Lent is a time of grace, a time to convert and live out our baptism fully Picture Quote #1

Every possession and every happiness is but lent by chance for an uncertain time, and may therefore be demanded back the next hour Picture Quote #1
