It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.
Pythagoras
Image
If you don’t learn constantly, you don’t grow and you will wither. Too many people wither on the vine. Sure, it gets a little harder as you get older, but new experiences and new challenges keep it fresh.
Iris Apfel
Image
American democracy is in grave danger from the changes in the environment in which ideas either live and spread or wither and die.
Al Gore
Image
There's an east wind coming all the same, such a wind as never blew on England yet. It will be cold and bitter, Watson, and a good many of us may wither before its blast. But it's God's own wind none the less and a cleaner, better stronger land will lie in the sunshine when the storm has cleared.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Do you want me to ride you like a rented mule, or do you prefer to be Mr. Missionary Position? I'm fine with wither, so it doesn't matter to me.
Katie MacAlister
Image
The greatest tragedy in life is not to die, it is to live as if dead, to let the life within us wither. Toward what goal or achievement are we striving in life? This is the important question to ask ourselves.
Daisaku Ikeda
Image
Reason and happiness are like other flowers they wither when plucked.
George Santayana
Image
An expectation was there, mixed in with so many other emotions - excitement, resignation, hesitation, confusion, fear - that would well up then wither on the vine. You're optimistic one moment, only to be racked the next by the certainty that it will all fall to pieces. And in the end it does.
Haruki Murakami
Image
Growing up closes so many doors. The modern world doesn't allow for miracles, so we don't see them. It's a very precious gift, an open mind, but it's not passive. You've got to nurture it like a bed of roses otherwise it will wither and die. Make sure you don't close off your mind to things you find strange. Sometimes they may be the only truth.
Tim Lebbon

If our freedom is taken, the American dream will wither and die.
Rand Paul
Image
Long term, the PC and workstation will wither because computing access will be everywhere: in the walls, on wrists, and in 'scrap computers' lying about waiting to be grabbed as needed.
Mark Weiser
Image
The problem with living so long is that we get used to it. We watch the mortals age and wither and die around us, watch the world change and decay...but no matter the hardship or the pain or the sorrow we suffer, we choose to continue living. Out of sheer habit, I think.
Derek Landy
Image
Without the instinct for adventure, any civilization, however enlightened any state, however well-ordered, will wilt and wither.
Kurt Hahn
Image
Without hope, love dies and parts of you wither.
Laurell K. Hamilton
Image
The need for devotion to something outside ourselves is even more profound than the need for companionship. If we are not to go to pieces or wither away, we all must have some purpose in life for no man can live for himself alone.
Ross Parmenter
Image
I must lose myself in action, lest I wither in despair.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
The leaves that are green turn to brown. And they wither with the wind. And they crumble in your hand.
Paul Simon
Image
Knowledge is like the carrot, few know by looking at the green top that the best part, the orange part, is there. Like the carrot, if you don't work for it, it will wither away and rot. And finally, like the carrot, there are a great many donkeys and jackasses that are associated with it.
Nasreddin
Image
Whatever's merely willful, and not miraculous (be never it so skilful) must wither fail and cease - but better than to grow beauty knows no.
e. e. cummings
Image
Love is a tender plant when properly nourished, it becomes sturdy and enduring, but neglected it will soon wither and die.
Hugh B. Brown
Image
Now, we don't get rid of it in round one because we don't think that that's politically smart, and we don't think that's the right way to go through a transition. But we believe it's going to wither on the vine because we think people are voluntarily going to leave it - voluntarily.
Newt Gingrich
Image
It isn't given to us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. They will not be cured by our most efficacious drugs or slain with our sharpest swords.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
It is, I assume, quite easy to wither into old age, and hard to grow into it.
May Sarton
Image
Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them.
