Quotations for record

Black-letter record of the ages. [ Diderot ]

The hours are viewless angels,
That still go gliding by,
And bear each moment's record up
To Him that sits on high. [ C. P. Cranch ]

Brief abstract and record of tedious days. [ William Shakespeare ]

What man would be wise, let him drink of the river
That bears on his bosom the record of time;
A message to him every wave can deliver
To teach him to creep till he knows how to climb. [ John Boyle O'Reilly ]

History is only a record of crimes and misfortunes. [ Voltaire ]

I always thought that record would stand until it was broken. [ Yogi Berra ]

Activity is the presence of function. Character is the record of function. [ Greenough ]

Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds. [ Shelley ]

A man's diary is a record in youth of his sentiments, in middle age of his actions, in old age of his reflections. [ J. Q. Adams ]

Dictionaries have come to be, in too many cases, the pernicious record of unreasonable, unwarranted, and fleeting usage. [ R. G. White ]

The great lesson of biography is to show what man can be and do at his best. A noble life put fairly on record acts like an inspiration to others. [ Samuel Smiles ]

Precept is instruction written in the sand; the tide flows over it, and the record is gone. Example is engraven on the rock, and the lesson is not soon lost. [ William Ellery Channing ]

Rich as we are in biography, a well-written life is almost as rare as a well-spent one; and there are certainly many more men whose history deserves to be recorded than persons willing and able to record it. [ Carlyle ]

When I gaze into the stars, they look down upon me with pity from their serene and silent spaces, like eyes glistening with tears over the little lot of man. Thousands of generations, all as noisy as our own, have been swallowed up by time, and there remains no record of them any more. Yet Arcturus and Orion, Sirius and Pleiades, are still shining in their courses, clear and young, as when the shepherd first noted them in the plain of Shinar! [ Carlyle ]

The Christian cemetery is a memorial and a record. It is not a mere field in which the dead are stowed away unknown; it is a touching and beautiful history, written in family burial plots, in mounded graves, in sculptured and inscribed monuments. It tells the story of the past, - not of its institutions, or its wars, or its ideas, but of its individual lives, - of its men and women and children, and of its household. It is silent, but eloquent; it is common, but it is unique. We find no such history elsewhere; there are no records in all the wide world in which we can discover so much that is suggestive, so much that is pathetic and impressive. [ Joseph Anderson ]
