Weighed Quotes

In the language of poetry, where every word is weighed, nothing is usual or normal. Not a single stone and not a single cloud above it. Not a single day and not a single night after it. And above all, not a single existence, not anyone’s existence in this world Picture Quote #1

For some nights I slept profoundly; but still every morning I felt the same lassitude, and a languor weighed upon me all day. I felt myself a changed girl. A strange melancholy was stealing over me, a melancholy that I would not have interrupted. Dim thoughts of death began to open, and an idea that I was slowly sinking took gentle, and, somehow, not unwelcome possession of me. If it was sad, the tone of mind which this induced was also sweet. Whatever it might be, my soul acquiesced in it Picture Quote #1

If only mortals would learn how great it is to possess divine grace, how beautiful, how noble, how precious. How many riches it hides within itself, how many joys and delights! No one would complain about his cross or about troubles that may happen to him, if he would come to know the scales on which they are weighed when they are distributed to men Picture Quote #1

The brain, or cerebrum, is a material entity located inside the skull which may be inspected, touched, weighed, and measured. It is composed of chemicals, enzymes, and humors which may be analyzed. Its structure is characterized by neurons, pathways, and synapses which may be examined directly when they are properly magnified Picture Quote #1

Rules serve no purpose; they can only do harm. Not only must the artist’s mind be clear, it must also be free. His fancy should not be hindered and weighed down by a mechanical servility to such rules Picture Quote #1

Investors should always keep in mind that the most important metric is not the returns achieved but the returns weighed against the risks incurred. Ultimately, nothing should be more important to investors than the ability to sleep soundly at night Picture Quote #1

Most people have learned to live in the moment. The argument goes that if the past has uncertain effect on the present, there is no need to dwell on the past. And if the present has little effect on the future, present actions need not be weighed for their consequence. Rather, each act is an island in time, to be judged on its own... It is a world of impulse. It is a world of sincerity. It is a world in which every word spoken speaks just to that moment, every glance given has only one meaning Picture Quote #1

You must take a year off, one of these days, before you’re old and tired and weighed down by responsibility. Go away somewhere, and read. Read all the important books. Educate yourself, then you’ll see the world in a different way Picture Quote #1

I end with a word on the new symbols which I have employed. Most writers on logic strongly object to all symbols... I should advise the reader not to make up his mind on this point until he has well weighed two facts which nobody disputes, both separately and in connexion. First, logic is the only science which has made no progress since the revival of letters; secondly, logic is the only science which has produced no growth of symbols Picture Quote #1

To tell you the truth, I’ve never weighed myself. When somebody asks me my statistics or whatever I honestly don’t know Picture Quote #1

Set your sights beyond what you can see. There is true majesty in the concept of an unseen power which can neither be measured nor weighed Picture Quote #1

We fell silent and all joking ceased. We gazed mutely into each other’s eyes and an intense longing for the fullest avowal of the truth forced us to a confession, requiring no words whatever, or the incommensurable misfortune that weighed upon us. With tears and sobs we sealed a vow to belong to each other alone Picture Quote #1

I’d had my share of rain. My mother’s illness... had weighed on me, but the years before had been heavy, too. I was only twenty eight Picture Quote #1

Life would be stunted and narrow if we could feel no significance in the world around us beyond that which can be weighed and measured with the tools of the physicist or described by the metrical symbols of the mathematician Picture Quote #1

In the great battle of life, no brilliancy of intellect, no perfection of bodily development, will count when weighed in the balance against the assemblage of virtues, active and passive, of moral qualities which we group together under the name of character Picture Quote #1

Art is viable when it finds elements in the surrounding environment. Our ancestors drew their subject matter from the religious attitudes which weighed on their souls. We must now learn to draw inspiration from the tangible miracles around us Picture Quote #1

In the past, it weighed on me because nobody in my family is gay. I had no role models so I had to find my own way Picture Quote #1

The philosopher strives to find the liberating word, that is, the word that finally permits us to grasp what up to now has intangibly weighed down upon our consciousness Picture Quote #1

Newish friends, if they get ghastly, can be weighed and found wanting, but you’d never do a thing like that to old ones; their terrible habits are just part of the universe Picture Quote #1

When I decided to go into politics I weighed the costs. I would get criticism. But I went ahead. So when virulent criticism came I wasn’t surprised. I was better able to handle it Picture Quote #1

I’ve put on a lot of weight... I only weighed six and a half pounds when I was born Picture Quote #1

I’ve done some things I wish I could erase.... I invented mistakes. But the mistakes must be seen in context, and they must be weighed along with the positives Picture Quote #1

In my heart are the deeds my body has done and my heart has been weighed in the balance Picture Quote #1

Let me remind you of the old maxim: people under suspicion are better moving than at rest, since at rest they may be sitting in the balance without knowing it, being weighed together with their sins Picture Quote #1

In the love poetry of every age, the woman longs to be weighed down by the man’s body Picture Quote #1

Friends should be weighed, not told; who boasts to have won a multitude of friends has never had one Picture Quote #1

Photographs force us to see people before their future weighed them down, before they knew their endings Picture Quote #1

I went back to those graves not long afterward and found as I stood there that sadness was a very heavy thing. My body weighed twice what it had only a moment earlier, as if those graves were pulling me down toward them Picture Quote #1

People weighed down with troubles do not look back; they know only too well that misfortune stalks them Picture Quote #1

The final mystery is oneself. When one has weighed the sun in the balance, and measured the steps of the moon, and mapped out the seven heavens star by star, there still remains oneself. Who can calculate the orbit of his own soul? Picture Quote #1
