Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
Cleave to no faith when faith brings blood.
Arthur Miller
Image
I hope that when I commence that oath, my tongue may cleave to the roof of my mouth. If I ever sign one line to show allegiance, I hope my arm falls paralyzed to my side....Get out. I'm so disgusted I can't endure your presence any longer.
Belle Boyd
Image
Or perhaps it is just that desire lies at the heart of human existence. When we turn away from one desire, we must find another to cleave to with all our strength --or else we die.
Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Image
O, my God! withhold from me the wealth to which tears and sighs and curses cleave. Better none at all than wealth like that.
Christian Scriver
Image
Dancing brings an endlessness in which nothing matters but to go on dancing - in a room, till the walls disappear - in the open, till the sky, moving as you dance, seems to cleave and let you through.
Dorothy Richardson
Image
People cleave to their worldly possessions and selfish passions so blindly as to sacrifice their own lives for them. They are like a child who tries to eat a little, honey smeared on the edge of a knife. The amount is by no means sufficient to appease his appetite, but he runs the risk of wounding his tongue.
Gautama Buddha
Image
At the creation of man and woman, unity for them in marriage was not given as hope it was a command! 'Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh
Henry B. Eyring
Image
...we shall incur no slight injury, but rather great danger, if we rashly yield ourselves to the inclinations of men who aim at exciting strife and tumults, so as to draw us away from what is good? Let us cleave, therefore, to those who cultivate peace with godliness?
John of Damascus
Image
As we have considered the critical need to strengthen families and homes, we have felt that the Lord would have us encourage His beloved daughters to cheerfully cleave to their covenants. When covenants are kept, families are strengthened.
Linda K. Burton
Image
Let whatsoever will or can befall me, I will surely cleave by my sweet Savior Christ Jesus, for in Him am I baptized I can neither do nor know anything but only what He has taught me.
Martin Luther
Image
God will never, never, never let us down if we have faith and put our trust in Him. He will always look after us. So we must cleave to Jesus. Our whole life must simply be woven into Jesus.
Mother Teresa
Image
Let us cleave... to those who cultivate peace with godliness, and not to those who hypocritically profess to desire it. For the Scripture says in a certain place (Mk. 7:6), 'This people honors Me with their lips, but their hearts is far from Me.'
Pope Clement I
Image
I will not hide my tastes or aversions. If you are true, but not in the same truth with me, cleave to your companions I will seek my own.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Doubt is a precipice on the way to God. Blessed is he who is freed from its bonds. He who fares without any doubt, adhere to his footprints if you do not know the way. Cleave to the footprints of the deer and advance with care that you may reach the musk-gland. By means of such trekking, even if you walk on fire, you will reach the luminous peak.
Rumi
Image
What broke in a man when he could bring himself to kill another? What broke when he could bring himself to thrust down the knife into the warm flesh, to bring down the axe on the living head, to cleave down between the seeing eyes, to shoot the gun that would drive death into the beating heart?
Alan Paton
Image
In time the savage bull sustains the yoke In time all haggard hawks will stoop to lure In time small wedges cleave the hardest oak, In time the flint is pierced with softest shower, And she in time will fall from her disdain, And rue the sufferance of your friendly pain.
Thomas Kyd
Image
Be mild, and cleave to gentle things, thy glory and thy happiness be there.
William Wordsworth
Image
May the arm of the first member of Congress, who proposes a national religion, drop powerless from his shoulder his tongue cleave to the roof of his mouth and all the people say amen.
Anne Royall
Image
This is the Cuzco asking you to pull on your armor and, mounted on the ample back of a powerful horse, cleave a path through the defenseless flesh of a naked Indian flock whose human wall collapses and disappears beneath the four hooves of the galloping beast.
Che Guevara
Image
Despite 18 years as a non-partisan public servant, my deeper tribal affinity has always been Tory. The Afghanistan file has given me an additional reason to cleave to that side of the spectrum. Canadian Conservatives have generally been more comfortable and confident with hard security issues.
Chris Alexander
Image
In your promises cleave to what is right, And you will be able to fulfill your word.
Confucius
Image
I don't think that the reality of Cuba is perfect, but it doesn't cleave to the negativity, either, with which some people see it.
Fernando Perez
Image
I cleave the heavens and soar to the infinite. And while I rise from my own globe to others and penetrate ever further through the eternal field. That which others saw from afar, I leave far behind me.
Giordano Bruno
