Seeking some one to devour. [ Motto ]

By seeking and blundering we learn. [ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ]

That mischief comes justly that is of your own seeking. [ Proverb ]

Every one is weary: the poor in seeking, the rich in keeping, the good in learning. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

The perfect flower of religion opens in the soul only when all self-seeking is abandoned. [ John Burroughs ]

In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it, thou art a fool. [ Rabbi Ben Azai ]

Instead of seeking happiness by going out of our place, our skill should be to find it where we are. [ Henry Ward Beecher ]

The recovery of freedom is so splendid a thing that we must not shun even death when seeking to recover it. [ Cicero ]

Love is swift, sincere, pious, pleasant, gentle, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, manly, and never seeking her own. [ Thomas à Kempis ]

In looking around me seeking for miserable resources against the heaviness of time, I open a book, and I say to myself, as the cat to the fox: I have only one good turn, but I need no other. [ Madame Necker ]

Every rose is an autograph from the hand of the Almighty God on this world about us; he has inscribed his thoughts in these marvelous hieroglyphics which sense and science have been these many thousand years seeking to understand. [ T. Parker ]

There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousand truths, which come about us like birds seeking inlet; but we are shut up to them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the roof, and then fly away. [ Beecher ]

O God, whom the world misjudges, and whom everything declares! listen to the last words that my lips pronounce! If I have wandered, it was in seeking Thy law. My heart may go astray, but it is full of Thee! I see, without alarm, eternity appear; and I can not think that a God who has given me life, that a God who has poured so many blessings on my days, will, now that my days are done, torment me for ever! [ The last prayer of Voltaire ]
