He feared his maturity as it grew upon him with its ripe thought, its skill, its finished art yet which lacked the poetry of boyhood to make living a full end of life.

Immorality, I know. Immortality, I cannot judge.
T. E. Lawrence
The greatest commander is he whose intuitions most nearly happen.
T. E. Lawrence
Cling tight to your sense of humour. You will need it every day.
T. E. Lawrence
I haven't got a heart: only the former site of one, with a monument there to say that it has been removed and the area it occupied turned into a public garden, in pursuance of the slum-clearance scheme.
T. E. Lawrence
As long as the Arabs fight tribe against tribe, so long will they be a little people, a silly people, greedy, barbarous and cruel.
T. E. Lawrence
The literature of disease is more interesting to me than all the healthy books.
T. E. Lawrence
Isn't it true that the fault of birth rests somewhat on the child? I believe it's we who led our parents on to bear us, and it's our unborn children who make our flesh itch.
T. E. Lawrence
The desert is an ocean in which no oar is dipped.
T. E. Lawrence
Dream your dreams with open eyes and make them come true.
T. E. Lawrence
Mankind has had ten-thousand years of experience at fighting and if we must fight, we have no excuse for not fighting well.
T. E. Lawrence
If you wear Arab things, wear the best. Clothes are significant among the tribes, and you must wear the appropriate, and appear at ease in them. Dress like a Sherif, if they agree to it.
T. E. Lawrence
A thick headcloth forms a good protection against the sun, and if you wear a hat your best Arab friends will be ashamed of you in public.
T. E. Lawrence
Club Secretary: I say, Lawrence. You are a clown! Lawrence: We can't all be lion tamers.
T. E. Lawrence
It is difficult to keep quiet when everything is being done wrong, but the less you lose your temper the greater your advantage. Also then you will not go mad yourself.
T. E. Lawrence
If I could talk it like Dahoum, you would never be tired of listening to me.
T. E. Lawrence
Half a calamity is better than a whole one.
T. E. Lawrence
To make war upon rebellion is messy and slow, like eating soup with a knife.
T. E. Lawrence
I wrote my will across the sky, in stars
T. E. Lawrence
I've been and am absurdly over-estimated. There are no supermen and I'm quite ordinary, and will say so whatever the artistic results. In that point I'm one of the few people who tell the truth about myself.
T. E. Lawrence
Do not try and do too much with your own hands. Better the Arabs do it tolerably than you do it perfectly. It is their war, and you are to help them, not win it for them.
T. E. Lawrence
