More quotes by T. E. Lawrence
Dream your dreams with open eyes and make them come true.
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
I wrote my will across the sky, in stars
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
The literature of disease is more interesting to me than all the healthy books.
T. E. Lawrence
Immorality, I know. Immortality, I cannot judge.
T. E. Lawrence
To make war upon rebellion is messy and slow, like eating soup with a knife.
T. E. Lawrence
The Beduin of the desert, born and grown up in it, had embraced with all his sour this nakedness too harsh for volunteers, for the reason, felt but inarticulate, that there he found himself indubitably free.
T. E. Lawrence
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.
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
Half a calamity is better than a whole one.
T. E. Lawrence
If I could talk it like Dahoum, you would never be tired of listening to me.
T. E. Lawrence
The greatest commander is he whose intuitions most nearly happen.
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
The beginning and ending of the secret of handling Arabs is unremitting study of them.
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
Club Secretary: I say, Lawrence. You are a clown! Lawrence: We can't all be lion tamers.
T. E. Lawrence
Your success will be proportioned to the amount of mental effort you devote to it.
T. E. Lawrence
Misery, anger, indignation, discomfort-those conditions produce literature. Contentment-never. So there you are.
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
