T. E. Lawrence
If I could talk it like Dahoum, you would never be tired of listening to me.
T. E. Lawrence
Club Secretary: I say, Lawrence. You are a clown! Lawrence: We can't all be lion tamers.
T. E. Lawrence
The desert is an ocean in which no oar is dipped.

It seemed that rebellion must have an unassailable base, something guarded not merely from attack, but from the fear of it: such a base as we had in the Red Sea Parts, the desert, or in the minds of the men we converted to our creed.
T. E. Lawrence
Your success will be proportioned to the amount of mental effort you devote to it.

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
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 beginning and ending of the secret of handling Arabs is unremitting study of them.
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 wrote my will across the sky, in stars
T. E. Lawrence
You wonder what I am doing? Well, so do I, in truth. Days seem to dawn, suns to shine, evenings to follow, and then I sleep. What I have done, what I am doing, what I am going to do, puzzle and bewilder me. Have you ever been a leaf and fallen from your tree in autumn and been really puzzled about it? That’s the feeling.
T. E. Lawrence
Half a calamity is better than a whole one.
T. E. Lawrence
Immorality, I know. Immortality, I cannot judge.
T. E. Lawrence
Many men would take the death-sentence without a whimper, to escape the life-sentence which fate carries in her other hand.
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
They taught me that no man could be their leader except he ate the ranks' food, wore their clothes, lived level with them, and yet appeared better in himself.
T. E. Lawrence
Misery, anger, indignation, discomfort-those conditions produce literature. Contentment-never. So there you are.
T. E. Lawrence
Dream your dreams with open eyes and make them come true.
T. E. Lawrence
