A person has three choices in life. You can swim against the tide and get exhausted, or you can tread water and let the tide sweep you away, or you can swim with the tide, and let it take you where it wants you to go.
Andrew Schneider
Image
Is not he imprudent, who, seeing the tide making haste towards him apace, will sleep till the sea overwhelms him?
John Tillotson
Image
I threw bitter tears at the ocean, but all that came back was the tide.
Sarah McLachlan

Their understanding Begins to swell and the approaching tide Will shortly fill the reasonable shores That now lie foul and muddy.
William Shakespeare

From Finding the Center to Reading and Writing: A Personal Account, the story remains the same: in a journey unique to myself, I left my worthless home, with its small people, and I sailed against the tides of chance and history looking for a better place -- for the center -- where I suffered greatly and made myself into a great writer.

But Greece and her foundations are Built below the tide of war, Based on the crystalline sea Of thought and its eternity Her citizens, imperial spirits, Rule the present from the past, On all this world of men inherits Their seal is set.
Percy Bysshe Shelley

Writers cannot choose their own mood: with them it is not always hide-tide, nor --thank Heaven!--always Storm.
Charlotte Bronte

Life is a tide float on it. Go down with it and go up with it, but be detached. Then it is not difficult.
Prem Rawat

Editors of open anthologies actively seek submissions from all comers, established and unknown. They are willing to read whatever the tide washes up at their feet.
Lynn Abbey

Sometimes when we're incensed by the rancid tide of injustice, the impulse is to attack. We must avoid this. We have learned that violence as a means is always unsuccessful.
Russell Brand

You can judge a leader by the size of the problem he tackles... Other people can cope with the waves, it's his job to watch the tide.
Antony Jay

The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has its storms, it has its tides and in its depths it has its pearls too
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
One is so apt to think of people's affection as a fixed quantity, instead of a sort of moving so with the tide, always going out or coming in but still fundamentally there: and I believe this difficulty in making allowance for the tide is the reason for half the broken friendships.
Freya Stark

Hoist up sail while gale doth last, Tide and wind stay no man's pleasure.
Robert Southwell
Image
Most of the productivity gains appear to go to the top 1 percent. Most people don't have enough income and as a result, they borrow additional money by using their credit card and they fall into high debt. The result of the growing income gap is a slower growing GDP (too few people with money to spend) and a rising tide of indebtedness.
Philip Kotler
Image
When the sands are all dry, he is gay as a lark, And will talk in contemptuous tones of the Shark: But, when the tide rises and sharks are around, His voice has a timid and tremulous sound.
Lewis Carroll
Image
There will be strange ebbs and flows in the tide of race feelings.
Amy Levy

What can we do? Mom asked again. I shrugged. But she kept asking, as if there were something she could do, until I just kind of crawled across the couch into her lap and my dad came over and held my legs really tight and I wrapped my arms all the way around my mom's middle and they held on to me for hours while the tide rolled in.
John Green

It is not only the proclamation of the whole truth that is needed today it is the release of the spiritual reality which the truth expresses, and that can only be realized as we allow ourselves to be caught into the mighty on-flowing tide of the Spirit.
Watchman Nee

When men talk about the agony of being men, they can never quite get away from the recurrent theme of self-pity. And when women talk about being women, they can never quite get away from the recurrent theme of blaming men.
Pat Conroy

I like people-watching and getting inspiration from the unique people who dont follow any fashion tides. From 12-year-olds who have full freedom, to 86-year-old ladies with a ton of class.
Rila Fukushima

Hold back the tide. Keep your kids innocent as long as possible.
Tony Danza

The personal was, compared with the tides of great nations, a bothersome detail.
