Famous Quotes & Sayings

William Wordsworth

Stay, little cheerful Robin! stay, And at my casement sing, Though it should prove a farewell lay And this our parting spring. * * * * * Then, little Bird, this boon confer, Come, and my requiem sing, Nor fail to be the harbinger Of everlasting spring.

William Ellery Channing

It feeds and grows on the blood which it sheds. The passions , from which it springs, gain strength and fury from indulgence.

Sarah Vowell

If I'm still wistful about On the Road, I look on the rest of the Kerouac oeuvre--the poems, the poems!--in horror. Read Satori in Paris lately? But if I had never read Jack Kerouac's horrendous poems, I never would have had the guts to write horrendous poems myself. I never would have signed up for Mrs. Safford's poetry class the spring of junior year, which led me to poetry readings, which introduced me to bad red wine, and after that it's all just one big blurry condemned path to journalism and San Francisco.

Sara Teasdale

Stephen kissed me in the spring, Robin in the fall, But Colin only looked at me And never kissed at all. Stephen’s kiss was lost in jest, Robin’s lost in play, But the kiss in Colin’s eyes Haunts me night and day.

Sara Teasdale

There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground, And swallows circling with their shimmering sound; And frogs in the pool singing at night, And wild plum trees in tremulous white; Robins will wear their feathery fire, Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire; And not one will know of the war, not one Will care at last when it is done. Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree, If mankind perished utterly; And Spring herself when she woke at dawn Would scarcely know that we were gone.

Sara Teasdale

The spring is fresh and fearless And every leaf is new, The world is brimmed with moonlight, The lilac brimmed with dew. Here in the moving shadows I catch my breath and sing - My heart is fresh and fearless And over-brimmed with spring.

Sara Teasdale

I could not be so sure of Spring / Save that it sings in me.

Samuel Johnson

When a poet mentions the spring, we know that the zephyrs are about to whisper, that the groves are to recover their verdure, the linnets to warble forth their notes of love, and the flocks and herds to frisk over vales painted with flowers: yet, who is there so insensible of the beauties of nature, so little delighted with the renovation of the world, as not to feel his heart bound at the mention of the spring?

Samuel Johnson

It is a hopeless endeavour to unite the contrarieties of spring and winter; it is unjust to claim the privileges of age, and retain the play-things of childhood.

W. H. Auden

An unmanly sort of man whose love life seems to have been largely confined to crying in laps and playing mouse.

Emmanuelle Riva

I love life. I love life to death.

George MacDonald

A God must have a God for company. And lo! thou hast the Son-God to thy friend. Thou honour'st his obedience, he thy law. Into thy secret life-will he doth see; Thou fold'st him round in live love perfectly- One two, without beginning, without end; In love, life, strength, and truth, perfect without a flaw.

Joel Osteen

The love of life is the root of all good.

Lucy Maud Montgomery

…it's so dreadful to have nothing to love — life is so empty — and there's nothing worse than emptiness…

Joan Rivers

My love life is like a piece of Swiss cheese; most of it's missing, and what's there stinks.

Haruki Murakami

The Earth, time, concepts, love, life, faith justice, evil - they're all fluid and in transition. They don't stay in one form or in one place forever. The whole universe is like some big FedEx box.

John C. Maxwell

People who love life have charisma because they fill the room with positive energy.

Henri Nouwen

What makes the temptation of power so seemingly irresistible? Maybe it is that power offers an easy substitute for the hard task of love. It seems easier to be God than to love God, easier to control people than to love people, easier to own life than to love life.

Wesley Willis

I'm doing what I want to do, and I don't care what you think you need!

Uri Geller

I've stopped caring about skeptics, but if they libel or defame me they will end up in court.

Roger Butler

Steven Goldstein

Danny was duped. He was an honest and caring person.

Aaron Krach

It's younger and younger that men are noticing it, and caring about it. They heard their dads worrying about it.

Linda Wright

It's very important to us. It's a very warming sort of heartfelt thing to think about somebody caring so much about others that they would make a plan to give in this way.

Isadore Sharp

The tsunami forced our Resort to close, putting hundreds out of work at the moment when they needed income most as they started to rebuild their lives and communities. We couldn't let that happen. Instead, we sent them to our other properties around the world - including properties in the United States, in Dallas, Palm Beach, Jackson Hole, Los Angeles, Maui and Washington. In true Four Seasons fashion, they have become a dynamic part of the teams at these hotels, embracing our guests with their caring service.

Nhat Hanh

A look filled with understanding, an accepting smile, a loving word, a meal shared in warmth and awareness are the things which create happiness in the present moment. By nourishing awareness in the present moment, you can avoid causing suffering to yourself and those around you. The way you look at others, your smile, and your small acts of caring can create happiness. True happiness does not depend on wealth or fame.
