The nearer we come to great men the more clearly we see that they are only men. They rarely seem great to their valets.
Jean de la Bruyere
Image
I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored the nearer the Union will be 'the Union as it was'.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
He is your friend who pushes you nearer to God.
Abraham Kuyper
Image
I think that the proclamation of the Gospel is sometimes nearer to an atheistic point of view than to traditional religious attitudes.
Ernesto Cardenal
Image
God is nearer to me than I am to myself He is just as near to wood and stone, but they do not know it.
Meister Eckhart
Image
There remain times when one can only endure. One lives on, one doesn't die, and the only thing that one can do, is to fill one's mind and time as far as possible with the concerns of other people. It doesn't bring immediate peace, but it brings the dawn nearer.
A. C. Benson
Image
Perils as well as privileges attend the higher Christian life. The nearer we come to God, the thicker the hosts of darkness in heavenly places. Aggressive Christianity is the world's greatest need.
A. B. Simpson
Image
They cannot scare me with their empty spaces Between stars—on stars where no human race is. I have it in me so much nearer home To scare myself with my own desert places.
Robert Frost
Image
He that resolves upon any great and good end, has, by that very resolution, scaled the chief barrier to it. He will find such resolution removing difficulties, searching out or making means, giving courage for despondency, and strength for weakness, and like the star to the wise men of old, ever guiding him nearer and nearer to perfection.
Tryon Edwards
Image
Then at night the general stillness is more impressive than any sound, but occasionally you hear the note of an owl farther or nearer in the woods, and if near a lake, the semihuman cry of the loons at their unearthly revels.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Don't flatter yourselves that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. On the contrary, the nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.
Image
If they substituted the word 'Lust' for 'Love' in the popular songs it would come nearer the truth.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The nearer a conception comes towards finality, the nearer does the dynamic relation, out of which this concept has arisen, draw to a close. To know is to lose.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Life is a walk to the edge of a cliff. Every day we get a step nearer and what lies over the brink, no one can tell.
Deepak Chopra
Image
The story of the whale swallowing Jonah, though a whale is large enough to do it, borders greatly on the marvelous but it would have approached nearer to the idea of a miracle if Jonah had swallowed the whale.
Thomas Paine
Image
All music is what awakes from you when you are reminded by the instruments. It is not the violins and the cornets-it is not the oboe nor the beating drums, nor the score of the baritone singer singing his sweet romanza-nor that of the women's chorus it is nearer and farther than they.
Walt Whitman
Image
I see compassion may become a justice, though it be a weakness, I confess, and nearer a vice than a virtue.
Ben Jonson
Image
Orange is red brought nearer to humanity by yellow.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
We are all missionaries. Wherever we go we either bring people nearer to Christ or we repel them from Christ.
Eric Liddell
Image
We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Image
The troubles of this world pass, and what we have left is what we have made of our souls, so it is to this we must look to becoming more spiritual, drawing nearer to God, no matter what our human minds and bodies go through.
Shoghi Effendi
Image
There are certain words which are nearer and dearer to a man than any others.
Nikolai Gogol
Image
For, after all, put it as we may to ourselves, we are all of us from birth to death guests at a table which we did not spread. The sun, the earth, love, friends, our very breath are parts of the banquet.... Shall we think of the day as a chance to come nearer to our Host, and to find out something of Him who has fed us so long?
Rebecca Harding Davis
Image
It is the very error of the moon She comes more nearer earth than she was wont, And makes men mad.
William Shakespeare
