Prompt to move but firm to wait - knowing things rashly sought are rarely found.
William Wordsworth
Image
... Do not let the deeds and thoughts of other people confuse you let them not prompt you to do or say anything evil!
Vladimir Aleksandrovich Antonov
Image
A far greater factor than abolishing poverty is the deterrent effect of swift and certain consequences: swift arrest, prompt trial, certain penalty and - at some point - finality of judgment.
Warren E. Burger
Image
Every thing in human character goes to wreck, under the reign of procrastination, while prompt action gives to all things a corresponding and proportional life and energy.
William Alcott
Image
Don't preach too much to your pupils or abound in good talk in the abstract. Lie in wait rather for the practical opportunities, be prompt to seize those as they pass, and thus at one operation get your pupils both to think, to feel, and to do.
William James
Image
Cultivate prompt, exact, unquestioning, joyous obedience to every command that it is evident from its context applies to you. Be on the lookout for new orders from your King. Blessing lies in the direction of obedience to them. God's commands are but signboards that mark the road to present success and blessedness and to eternal glory.
R. A. Torrey
Image
Brisk and prompt to war, soft and not in the least able to resist calamity, fickle in catching at schemes, and always striving after novelties - French characteristics remained unaltered twenty centuries after Julius Caesar made a note of them for all time.
Frederick Rolfe
Image
Let no man think we can deny civil liberty to others and retain it for ourselves. When zealous agents of the Government arrest suspected radicals without warrant, hold them without prompt trial, deny them access to counsel and admission of bail....we have shorn the Bill of Rights of its sanctity.
Robert M. La Follette, Sr.
Image
The belief in eternal torment, still subscribed to by fundamentalist Christian denominations, undoubtedly ranks as the most vicious and reprehensible doctrine of classical Christianity. It has resulted in an incalculable amount of psychological torture, especially among children where it is employed as a terror tactic to prompt obedience.
George H. Smith
Image
When you're a child - and my understanding of it is very basic - but when you're a very young child, the stimuli around you prompt your brain to form synapses. Once they're there, they're there, but if they don't form by a certain age, they're not going to.
Ron Currie Jr.
Image
The consideration that human happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected will always continue to prompt me to promote the former by inculcating the practice of the latter.
George Washington
Image
Any self-prompt that reminds you to focus on flow not ebb, contributes to your greater sense of abundance. (53)
Sarah Ban Breathnach
Image
The keen spirit Seizes the prompt occasion, makes the thought Start into instant action, and at once Plans and performs, resolves and executes!
Hannah More
Image
All of those broken bones in northern Japan, all of those broken lives and those broken homes prompt us to remember what in calmer times we are invariably minded to forget: the most stern and chilling of mantras, which holds, quite simply, that mankind inhabits this earth subject to geological consent - which can be withdrawn at any time.
Simon Winchester
Image
For when two Join in the same adventure, one perceives Before the other how they ought to act While one alone, however prompt, resolves More tardily and with a weaker will.
Homer
Image
Common-sense knowledge is prompt, categorical, and inexact.
Susanne Katherina Langer
Image
On top of the insult of destroying the geographic places we call home, the chain stores also destroyed people's place in the order of daily life, including the duties, responsibilities, obligations, and ceremonies that prompt citizens to care for each other.
James Howard Kunstler
Image
What is the elevation of the soul? A prompt, delicate, certain feeling for all that is beautiful, all that is grand a quick resolution to do the greatest good by the smallest means a great benevolence joined to a great strength and great humility.
Johann Kaspar Lavater
Image
For me, poetry has no point in existing if it's not to be a prompt or aid to political and ethical change.
John Kinsella
Image
The tongue of slander is too prompt with wanton malice to wound the stranger.
Aeschylus
Image
Extol not riches then, the toil of fools, The wise man's cumbrance, if not snare, more apt To slacken virtue, and abate her edge, Than prompt her to do aught may merit praise.
John Milton
Image
We are all human, and our senses are quicker to prompt us than our reason. Every man gives off a scent, and that scent tells you how to act before your head does.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Image
For anyone to open their heart, they need the right atmosphere, and something to prompt them. For my mother it was her trip abroad: she was in a very relaxed, understanding environment. I was very sympathetic towards her.
Jung Chang
Image
God had given men reason, by which they could find out things for themselves, but He had given animals knowledge which did not depend on reason, and which was much more prompt and perfect in its way, and by which they had often saved the lives of men.
