When you were alone in the rising ocean, you grabbed whatever raft passed by.
Paolo Bacigalupi
Image
Religion and ritual can be vehicles for entering stillness. It says in Psalm 46:10, 'Be still, and know that I am God.' But they are still just vehicles. The Buddha called his teaching a raft: You don't need to carry it around with you after you've crossed the river.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
A man's duty is to find out where the truth is, or if he cannot, at least to take the best possible human doctrine and the hardest to disprove, and to ride on this like a raft over the waters of life.
Plato
Image
All authors know that any book is a casting of runes, a reading of cards, a map of the palm and heart. We make up the ocean - then fall in. But we also write the life raft.
Erica Jong
Image
And then there is Pythagoras. The legend is that the founder of theoretical mathematics was so outraged when one of his students, the haplessly gifted Hippasus, discovered irrational numbers that he sent the poor fellow out on a raft to drown, initiating a venerable tradition of professors mistreating their graduate students.
Rebecca Goldstein
Image
These teachings are like a raft, to be abandoned once you have crossed the flood. Since you should abandon even good states of mind generated by these teachings, How much more so should you abandon bad states of mind!
Gautama Buddha
Image
The rate of change is global now. I think there's a kind of mind that is so ill at ease with that transformation that it reaches out for something permanent. And religious faith offers that, from simplicities, which you are told are eternal and unchanging, and you can hold on to those like a life raft in a metamorphosing world.
Salman Rushdie
Image
A raft needed to cross the river is discarded when the other shore is reached, not carried about on one's head.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Even though nobody knew that you were in my life, you were the person who brought a raft at every rapid current and helped me cross that water safely. I was happy that you were there. I came to tell you I was able to travel through my life because I could come to you when I was anxious, not when I was happy.
Shin Kyung-sook
Image
Shakespeare is a good raft whereon to float securely down the stream of time fasten yourself to that and your immortality is safe.
George Henry Lewes
Image
All of the wisdom of this world is but a tiny raft upon which we must set sail when we leave this earth. If only there was a firmer foundation upon which to sail, perhaps some divine word.
Socrates
Image
In the duel of sex woman fights from a dreadnought and man from an open raft.
H. L. Mencken
Image
Today I can announce a raft of reforms that we estimate could save over 2.5 million police hours every year. That's the equivalent of more than 1,200 police officer posts. These reforms are a watershed moment in policing. They show that we really mean business in busting bureaucracy.
Theresa May
Image
Roaring dreams take place in a perfectly silent mind. Now that we know this, throw the raft away.
Jack Kerouac
Image
The Pride of every Jew finds cause to believe that the cause of their down fall is not their detestable politics, or ignorance of social graces, but the raft of God. They believe it took a miracle to undo them.
Voltaire
Image
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft.
Jim Morrison
Image
After The Sopranos, my mother said, Couldn't there be some raft floating under the bridge when you jumped? Or couldn't you have a twin brother? I said, Yeah, if they'd wanted me that bad. But they don't.
John Heard
Image
When you're the ones in the life raft and you have four or five women in the life raft who put it together, by the end of it your nerves are blown. The people you're going to attack are the people who are helping you, who you are holding it together with.
Junot Diaz
Image
It's easier in some ways being on the life raft and the other guy's in the boat and you can row alongside and be supportive. In some ways, that's an easier role.
Kyra Sedgwick
Image
People say, on the raft, you must have hallucinated. Baloney. We were sharper after 47 days than the day we started because our minds were empty of all the war and contamination we had clean minds to fill with good thoughts. Every day we'd exercise our minds.
Louis Zamperini
Image
I had to do a tango with Raft and I learned to dance in ballet shoes with my knees bent.
Marie Windsor
Image
Prejudice is a raft onto which the shipwrecked mind clambers and paddles to safety.
Ben Hecht
Image
I could never learn to like her, except on a raft at sea with no other provisions in sight.
Mark Twain
Image
When you believe God is who he says he is, when you hang onto him and his Word in faith, his truth sets you free.6 The truth you store up in silence comes back to you in the storm, and it lifts you away as on a life raft from the fears and disappointments that would otherwise pull you under. When you abide in his Word, he abides in you.
