Dwelling in the past prevents doing something in the present.
John Wooden
Image
Dwelling on an engine failure for a pilot as he rolls down the runway is NOT what he should be thinking about - it's obtaining a smooth liftoff! But in the back of his mind, he knows exactly what to do (or pretty much) and in many cases, if he's alone in the fighter aircraft, he has to leave that aircraft in an ejection seat in a big hurry!
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Dwelling upon the self too much produces terrible fatigue. A man in that position is deaf and blind to everything else. The fatigue itself makes him cease to see the marvels all around.
Carlos Castaneda
Image
Dwelling on the negative simply contributes to its power.
Shirley MacLaine
Image
Dwelling on pain, spending too much time immersed in it, tasting its flavors, fingering its textures--this makes it only more potent.
Tayari Jones
Image
Dwelling on him would make him a bigger part of my life than I want him to be.
Richard Paul Evans
Image
Dwelling is not primarily inhabiting but taking care of and creating that space within which something comes into its own and flourishes.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Dwelling in failure won't change anything nor will it create a good outcome.
Yunho
Image
Dwelling-place and food are useful for life but give it no significance: the immediate goals of the housekeeper are only means, not true ends.
Simone de Beauvoir
Image
Dwelling on negative thoughts is like fertilizing weeds.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
In dwelling, be close to the land. In meditation, go deep in the heart.
Laozi
Image
God has two dwellings one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart.
Izaak Walton
Image
Man has created some lovely dwellings, some soul-stirring literature. He has done much to alleviate physical pain. But he has not ... created a substitute for a sunset, a grove of pines, the music of the winds, the dank smell of the deep forest, or the shy beauty of a wildflower.
Harvey Broome
Image
His eyes were still like caves with ghosts dwelling in their depths.
Charlaine Harris
Image
In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple.
Laozi
Image
Meditation is the activity of calling to mind, and thinking over, and dwelling on, and applying to oneself, the various things that one knows about the works and ways and purposes and promises of God.
J. I. Packer
Image
Once you are in communion with God, you have the eyes to see and the ears to hear other people in whom God has also found a dwelling place.
Henri Nouwen
Image
Darkness is the fit hour for beasts of prey, and ignorance the natural dwelling place of cruelty.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Therefore: In dwelling, choose modest quarters, in thinking, value stillness, in dealing with others, be kind, in choosing words, be sincere, in leading, be just, in working, be competent, in acting, choose the correct timing. Follow these words and there will be no error.
Laozi
Image
Eagle of flowers! I see thee stand, And on the sun's noon-glory gaze With eye like his, thy lids expand, And fringe their disk with golden rays: Though fix'd on earth, in darkness rooted there, Light is thy element, thy dwelling air, Thy prospect heaven.
James Montgomery
Image
Nothing can compare in beauty, and wonder, and admirableness, and divinity itself, to the silent work in obscure dwellings of faithful women bringing their children to honor and virtue and piety.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
If I could live in a tiny dwelling on a rock in the ocean, surrounded by the waves of the sea and cut off from the sight and sound of everything else, I would still not be free of the cares of this passing world, or from the fear that somehow the love of money might still come and snatch me away.
Cuthbert
Image
Small rooms or dwellings discipline the mind, large ones weaken it.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
I have been dwelling upon downtowns. This is not because mixtures of primary uses are unneeded elsewhere in cities. On the contrary they are needed, and the success of mixtures downtown (on in the most intensive portions of cities, whatever they are called) is related to the mixture possible in other part of cities.
