Quotations for beings

Incipient beings. [ Carlyle ]

Sensitive beings are not sensible beings. [ Balzac ]

When God endowed human beings with brains,
He did not intend to guarantee them. [ Montesquieu ]

Ye have a world of light,
When love in the loved rejoices;
But the blind man's home is the house of night.
And its beings are empty voices. [ Bulwer ]

Do you never think what wondrous beings these?
Do you never think who made them, and who taught
The dialect they speak, where melodies
Alone are the interpreters of thought?
Whose household words are songs in many keys,
Sweeter than instrument of man ever caught! [ Longfellow ]

Man thinks, and, at once, becomes the master of the beings that do not think. [ Buffon ]

Envy lies between two beings equal in nature, though unequal in circumstances. [ Jeremy Collier ]

The beings who appear cold, but are only timid, adore where they dare to love. [ Madame Swetchine ]

When two beings are united by love, all social conventionalities are suspended. [ Balzac ]

Those beings only are fit for solitude who are like nobody, and are liked by nobody. [ Zimmermann ]

Woman has this in common with angels, that suffering beings belong especially to her. [ Balzac ]

To swear to love always is to affirm that two beings essentially changeable will never change.

A soul, - a spark of the never-dying flame that separates man from all the other beings of earth. [ James Fenimore Cooper ]

Bachelors are providential beings: God created them for the consolation of widows and the hope of maids. [ De Finod ]

Act always so that the immediate motive of thy will may become a universal rule for all intelligent beings. [ Kant ]

Thou art not required to search into the nature of God, but into the nature of the beings which he has created. [ Rückert ]

Pride, though it cannot prevent the holy affections of nature from beings felt, may prevent them from being shown. [ Jeremy Taylor ]

By virtue, integrity, perseverance and true modesty it is possible for all men to win the esteem of their fellow beings. [ C. N. Douglas ]

An atheist is one of the most daring beings in creation, - a condemner of God, who explodes His laws by denying His existence. [ John Foster ]

We are finite beings: there can be no infinite happiness for us. The soul that dreams it and pursues it will embrace but a shadow. [ Balzac ]

Superstition always inspires littleness, religion grandeur of mind; the superstitious raises beings inferior to himself to deities. [ Lavater ]

Women are the happiest beings of the creation: in compensation for our services they reward us with a happiness of which they retain more than half. [ De Varennes ]

There comes a time when the souls of human beings, women more even than men, begin to faint for the atmosphere of the affections they are made to breathe. [ Holmes ]

Between two beings susceptible to love, the duration of love depends upon the first resistance of the woman, or the obstacles that society puts in their way. [ Balzac ]

O, the eye's light is a noble gift of heaven! All beings live from light; each fair created thing. The very plants turn with a joyful transport to the light. [ Schiller ]

Be still, then, thou uneasy mortal; know that God is unerringly wise; and be assured that, amidst the greatest multiplicity of beings, He does not overlook thee. [ James Hervey ]

Our happiness as human beings, generally speaking, will be found to be very much in proportion to the number of things we love, and the number of things that love us. [ Samuel Smiles ]

Man is, beyond dispute, the most excellent of created beings, and the vilest animal is a dog; but the sages agree that a grateful dog is better than an ungrateful man. [ Saadi ]

Griefs are like the beings that endure them - the little ones are the most clamorous and noisy; those of older growth and greater magnitude are generally tranquil, and sometimes silent. [ Chatfield ]

One must always regret that law of growth which renders necessary that kittens should spoil into demure cats, and bright, joyous school-girls develop into the spiritless, crystallized beings denominated young ladies. [ Abba Goold Woolson ]

What does competency in the long run mean? It means to all reasonable beings, cleanliness of person, decency of dress, courtesy of manners, opportunities for education, the delights of leisure, and the bliss of giving. [ Whipple ]

We are born for a higher destiny than earth; there is a realm where the rainbow never fades, where the stars will be spread before us like islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the beings that pass before us like shadows will stay in our presence forever. [ Bulwer-Lytton ]

The brute animals have all the same sensations of pain as human beings, and consequently endure as much pain when their body is hurt; but in their case the cruelty of torment is greater, because they have no mind to bear them up against their sufferings, and no hope to look forward to when enduring the last extreme pain. Their happiness consists entirely in present enjoyment. [ Chalmers ]

All the performances of human art, at which we look with praise or wonder, are instances of the resistless force of perseverance; it is by this that the quarry becomes a pyramid, and that distant countries are united by canals. If a man was to compare the effect of a single stroke of a pickaxe, or of one impression of the spade, with the general design and last result, he would be overwhelmed with the sense of their disproportion; yet those petty operations, incessantly continued, in time surmount the greatest difficulties, and mountains are leveled and oceans bounded, by the slender force of human beings. [ Dr. Johnson ]

Poetry is the first and last of all knowledge: it is immortal as the heart of men. If the labors of the men of science should ever create any revolution, direct or indirect, in our condition, and in the impressions which we habitually receive, the poet will then sleep no more than at present; he will be ready to follow the steps of the man of science, not only in those general indirect effects, but he will be at his side, carrying sensation into the midst of the objects of the science itself. The remotest discoveries of the chemist, the botanist, or mineralogist will be as proper objects of the poet's art as any upon which it can be employed, if the time should ever come when these things shall be familiar to us, and the relations under which they are contemplated by the followers of the respective sciences shall be manifestly and palpably material to us as enjoying and suffering beings. If the time should ever come when what is now called science, thus familiarized to men, shall be ready to put on. as it were, a form of flesh and blood, the poet will lend his divine spirit to aid the transfiguration, and will welcome the being thus produced as a dear and genuine inmate of the household of man. [ Wordsworth ]
