A woman finds the natural lay of the land almost unconsciously and not feeling it incumbent on her to be guide and philosopher to any successor, she takes little pains to mark the route by which she is making her ascent.
Alice Stone Blackwell
Image
It was about three o'clock at night when the final result of the calculation [which gave birth to quantum mechanics] lay before me ... At first I was deeply shaken ... I was so excited that I could not think of sleep. So I left the house ... and awaited the sunrise on top of a rock.
Werner Heisenberg
Image
Mrs. Wiggs was a philosopher, and the sum and substance of her philosophy lay in keeping the dust off her rose-colored spectacles.
Alice Hegan Rice

Change lays her hand not upon the truth.
Algernon Charles Swinburne
Image
Change lays not her hand upon truth.
Algernon Charles Swinburne
Image
I lay very little stress either upon asking or giving advice. Generally speaking, they who ask advice know what they wish to do, and remain firm to their intentions. A man may allow himself to be enlightened on various points, even upon matters of expediency and duty but, after all, he must determine his course of action, for himself.
Wilhelm von Humboldt
Image
Red of the Dawn Is it turning a fainter red? so be it, but when shall we lay The ghost of the Brute that is walking and hammering us yet and be free?
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
The real mistake humans have committed lays in the inability to differentiate between requirements and luxuries.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Image
A great civilization is not conquered from without, until it has destroyed itself from within. The essential causes of Rome's decline lay in her people, her morals, her class struggle, her failing trade, her bureaucratic despotism, her stifling taxes, her consuming wars.
Will Durant
Image
It's not my job to produce results. But it is my job to lay my hands on the sick, the oppressed, and to preach the Gospel.
Todd Bentley
Image
Pale January lay In its cradle day by day Dead or living, hard to say.
Alfred Austin
Image
If God has laid your sins upon the Son of His love, you may rest assured that He will never lay them a second time upon you since, if Christ has borne them and atoned for them to Divine justice, they never again can be found.
Octavius Winslow
Image
A president just can't make much showing against congress. They lay awake nights, thinking up things to be against the president on.
Will Rogers
Image
I do not have to build a perfect wall today. I just have to lay a perfect brick.
Will Smith
Image
I would not knock old fellows in the dust But there lay Captain Carpenter on his back His weapons were the old heart in his bust And a blade shook between rotten teeth alack.
John Crowe Ransom
Image
There is no ghost so difficult to lay as the ghost of an injury.
Alexander Smith
Image
In life there is nothing more unexpected and surprising than the arrivals and departures of pleasure. If we find it in one place today, it is vain to seek it there tomorrow. You can not lay a trap for it.
Alexander Smith
Image
Who enslaves another's manhood with weak human power alone, Lays a heavier yoke of bondage thoughtlessly upon his own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
Alexander Pope
Image
Nature and nature's laws lay hid in the night. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light!
Alexander Pope
Image
Let the minor genius go his light way and enjoy his life - the great nature cannot so live, he is never really in holiday mood, even though he often plucks flowers by the wayside and ties them into knots and garlands like little children and lays out on a sunny morning.
William Butler Yeats
Image
O would, beloved, that you lay Under the dock-leaves in the ground, While lights were paling one by one.
William Butler Yeats
Image
The groves were God's first temple. Ere man learned To hew the shaft, and lay the architrave, And spread the roof above them,--ere he framed The lofty vault, to gather and roll back The sound of anthems in the darkling wood, Amidst the cool and silence, he knelt down And offered to the Mightiest solemn thanks And supplication.
William C. Bryant
Image
Lay down the axe fling by the spade Leave in its track the toiling plough The rifle and the bayonet-blade For arms like yours were fitter now And let the hands that ply the pen Quit the light task, and learn to wield The horseman's crooked brand, and rein The charger on the battle-field.
William C. Bryant
