Pleas'd look forward, pleas'd to look behind,And count each birthday with a grateful mind.
Alexander Pope
Image
God's promises are to be our pleas in prayer.
Matthew Henry
Image
To be resigned when ills betide, Patient when favours are deni'd, And pleas'd with favours given, - Dear Chloe, this is wisdom's part This is that incense of the heart Whose fragrance smells to heaven.
Nathaniel Cotton
Image
Helplessness is your best prayer. It calls from your heart to the heart of God with greater effect than all your uttered pleas.
Ole Hallesby
Image
They please, are pleas'd, they give to get esteem Till, seeming blest, they grow to what they seem.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
I can remember, with unsteady feet, Tottering from room to room, and finding pleasure In flowers, and toys, and sweetmeats, things which long Have lost their power to please which when I see them, Raise only now a melancholy wish I were the little trifler once again, Who could be pleas'd so lightly.
Robert Southey
Image
Swift flies our time on pinions fleet, Like vapours on the breeze The transient bliss we now call sweet, The passing moments seize. The gilded joy, the present hour, Soon wing themselves away Departing like the fading flower That pleas'd us Yesterday.
William Muir
Image
I do repent but heaven hath pleas'd it so To punish me with this, and this with me, That I must be their scourge and minister. I will bestow him, and will answer well The death I gave him. So again good night. I must be cruel only to be kind. Thus bad begins and worse remains behind.
William Shakespeare
Image
New, distant Scenes of endless Science rise: So pleas'd at first, the towring Alps we try.
Alexander Pope
Image
Some to conceit alone their taste confine, And glittering thoughts struck out at ev'ry line Pleas'd with a work where nothing's just or fit One glaring chaos and wild heap of wit.
Alexander Pope
Image
The path of duty I clearly trace, / I stand with conscience face to face, / And all her pleas allow / Calling and crying the while for grace, - / 'Some other time, and some other place / Oh, not to-day not now!
Alice Cary
Image
...it is the Far Right today that establishes the terms of the nuclear debate. And in this context, in a room ringing with hysterical pleas on behalf of Reagan's eerie laser-beam technology, the MacBundys of the world seem eminently, refreshingly sane.
David Talbot
Image
Those possest of the greatest Virtues are always least pleas'd with the repetition of them.
Eliza Haywood
Image
Various are the pleas and arguments which men of corrupt minds frequently urge against yielding obedience to the just and holy commands of God.
George Whitefield
Image
Psychopaths know the technical difference between right and wrong - which is one of the reasons their insanity pleas in criminal cases so rarely succeed they just fail to act on that knowledge.
Jeffrey Kluger
Image
The White House, in advancing the agenda for a [school] choice plan, rests its faith on market mechanisms. What reason have the black and very poor to lend their credence to a market system that has proved so obdurate and so resistant to their pleas at every turn?
Jonathan Kozol
Image
Anarchy! Revolution, Justice, Screaming For Solutions, Forcing Changes, Risk, and Danger, Making Noise and Making Pleas!.
Jonathan Larson
Image
Behind the honeyed but patently absurd pleas for equality is a ruthless drive for placing themselves (the elites) at the top of a new hierarchy of power.
Murray Rothbard
Image
When prayer is a struggle, do not worry about the prayers that you cannot pray. You yourself are a prayer to God at that moment. All that is within you cries out to Him, and He hears all the pleas that your suffering soul and body are making to Him with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Ole Hallesby
Image
He cast off his friends as a huntsman his pack, For he knew when he pleas'd he could whistle them back.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
And with the money from your corn, from your rents, and from the issues of pleas in your courts, and from your stock, arrange the expenses of your kitchen and your wines and your wardrobe and the wages of servants, and subtract your stock.
Robert Grosseteste
Image
I pity those born of the lighter side. They have no understanding of how seductive cruelty is. The music made out of screams and pleas for mercy. Mmmm. Nothing better. (Noir)
Sherrilyn Kenyon
Image
Had it pleas'd heaven To try me with affliction * * * I should have found in some place of my soul A drop of patience.
William Shakespeare
Image
Avoid Extremes and shun the fault of such Who still are pleas'd too little or too much.
Alexander Pope
