Occasion Quotes

The good of our soul is more important than that of our body; and we have to prefer the spiritual welfare of our neighbor to our bodily comforts... If a certain kind of dress constitutes a grave and proximate occasion of sin, and endangers the salvation of your soul and others, it is your duty to give it up Picture Quote #1

The abjectly poor, and all those person whose energies are entirely absorbed by the struggle for daily sustenance, are conservative because they cannot afford the effort of taking thought for the day after tomorrow; just as the highly prosperous are conservative because they have small occasion to be discontented with the situation as it stands today Picture Quote #1

One arranges flowers as the spirit moves you; to obey some inner prompting to put this colour with that, to have brilliance here, line there, a sense of opulence in this place or sparseness in that; to suit your surroundings, your mood, the weather, the occasion. In a word, to do as you please, just as, if you could, you might paint a picture Picture Quote #1

Humility is the safeguard of chastity. In the matter of purity, there is no greater danger than not fearing the danger. For my part, when I find a man secure of himself and without fear, I give him up for lost. I am less alarmed for one who is tempted and who resists by avoiding the occasions, than for one who is not tempted and is not careful to avoid occasions. When a person puts himself in an occasion, saying, I shall not fall, it is an almost infallible sign that he will fall, and with great injury to his soul Picture Quote #1

All chess masters have on occasion played a magnificent game and then lost it by a stupid mistake, perhaps in time pressure and it may perhaps seem unjust that all their beautiful ideas get no other recognition than a zero on the tournament table Picture Quote #1

To celebrate a festival means: to live out, for some special occasion and in an uncommon manner, the universal assent to the world as a whole Picture Quote #1

There is no occasion when meals should become totally unimportant. Meals can be very small indeed, very inexpensive, short times taken in the midst of a big push of work, but they should be always more than just food Picture Quote #1

You can wear black in any moment of the day, no matter your age. You can wear black with almost any occasion. A black dress is essential for every woman Picture Quote #1

Out of frustration, you do drugs when you can’t write. On occasion that might work, but usually what happens is that once you’ve had on drink, you just want another drink Picture Quote #1

Glamour is assurance. It is a kind of knowing that you are all right in every way, mentally and physically and in appearance, and that, whatever the occasion or the situation, you are equal to it Picture Quote #1

I think no matter what the occasion may be, you can never go wrong by showing up at the dinner table with a hot plate of fried chicken Picture Quote #1

Death is natural and necessary, but not just. It is a random force of nature; survival is equally accidental. Each loss is an occasion to remember that survival is a gift Picture Quote #1

Good films are not made by accident, nor is good photography. You can have good things happen, on occasion, by accident that can be applied at that moment in a film, but your craft isn’t structured around such things, except in beer commercials Picture Quote #1

Daily I expect to be murdered or betrayed or reduced to slavery if the occasion arises. But I fear nothing, because of the promises of heaven Picture Quote #1

Don’t just stand back and play the way you’re coached. A great player must rise to the occasion and turn the game around on his own Picture Quote #1

Who is apt, on occasion, to assign a multitude of reasons when one will do? This is a sure sign of weakness in argument Picture Quote #1

I have taken your advice, and the names used are anode cathode anions cations and ions; the last I shall have but little occasion for. I had some hot objections made to them here and found myself very much in the condition of the man with his son and ass who tried to please every body; but when I held up the shield of your authority, it was wonderful to observe how the tone of objection melted away Picture Quote #1

I love hats; I love putting hats on. They are artwork. You can always go out and find a dress to wear for some occasion, but there are not that many occasions you can wear a hat Picture Quote #1

The first time, I usually skim off the outer layer and end up with photographs that are fairly obvious. The second time, I have to look a little deeper. The images get more interesting. The third time it is even more challenging and on each subsequent occasion, the images should get stronger, but it takes more effort to get them Picture Quote #1

To lay hold of the mean without taking into account the occasion is like grasping one thing only Picture Quote #1

To die quickly in one’s eighth decade at the very top of one’s powers is an enviable end, and not an occasion for mourning Picture Quote #1

The thing is that when you don’t carry a camera, that’s when you see pictures in particular, or at least that’s when you think you see pictures in particular. When you do carry it, if you do see one on the occasion that you do, you can take it Picture Quote #1

I would hate now to be married. It does occur to me on occasion that, if I fall and hit my head, there will be no one to make the phone call. But who wants to think about that disaster, I’d prefer not to Picture Quote #1

Anytime where you’re challenged, physically or mentally, you rise to the occasion in different ways Picture Quote #1

I came seriously close to getting married four times, and each time I backed off in fear or for one reason or another. Each occasion was different, but in hindsight when I look at the people involved, it wasn’t a bad thing what I did. I think it may have been more complex had the marriage taken place Picture Quote #1

At the risk, then, of being shunned by some of my gloomier peers, I venture to tell you that writers work like demons, suffer greatly, and are also happy, in unmistakable ways, some of the time. If we had no knowledge of happiness, our novels wouldn’t sufficiently resemble real life. Some of us are even made a little bit happy, on occasion, by the writing process itself. I mean, really, if there wasn’t some sort of enjoyment to be derived, would any of us keep doing it? Picture Quote #1

My father required me to honor my father and my mother too much to put up games on them. I did on occasion Picture Quote #1

As soon as I suspect a fine effect is being achieved by accident I lose interest. I am not interested...in unskilled labor....The scientific actor is an even worker. Any one may achieve on some rare occasion an outburst of genuine feeling, a gesture of imperishable beauty, a ringing accent of truth; but your scientific actor knows how he did it. He can repeat it again and again and again. He can be depended on Picture Quote #1

When a young man begins to go down hill everything seems to be greased for the occasion Picture Quote #1

Continue to make the demands of the day your immediate concern, and take occasion to test the purity of your hearts and the steadfastness of your spirits. When you then take a deep breath and rise above the cares of this world and in an hour of leisure, you will surely win the proper frame of mind to face devoutly what is above us, with reverence, seeing in all events the manifestation of a higher guidance Picture Quote #1
