How well he fell asleepl Like some proud river, widening toward the sea Calmly and grandly, silently and deep, Life joined eternity.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
He then proceeded to shout at Alpha and Beta, a sign that he was in a genuine good mood. They took it as calmly as ever, in spite of the fact that he accused them of things I'm sure no donkey has ever willingly done, especially not Beta, who possessed impeccable moral character.
Patrick Rothfuss
Image
Calmly spinning, I scan as far away as I can see. The last rays of the day's sun warm my back and my stare locks onto my own shadow. I follow the lines of my body on the stone in front of me, spreading my arms as wings, and bathe in the beauty of existence.
Dean Potter
Image
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do that with all thy might and leave the issues calmly to God.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
Experience had taught me that innocence seldom utters outraged shrikes. Guilt does. Innocence is a mighty shield, and the man or woman covered by it, is much more likely to answer calmly: 'My life is blameless. Look into it, if you like, for you will find nothing.' That is the tone of innocence.
Whittaker Chambers
Image
Calmly take what ill betideth Patience wins the crown at length: Rich repayment him abideth Who endures in quiet strength. Brave the tamer of the lion Brave whom conquered kingdoms praise Bravest he who rules his passions, Who his own impatience sways.
Johann Gottfried Herder
Image
Will you be wanting to contest the divorce? I asked Mrs. Davis. I should think not, she said calmly, although I suppose on of us should, for the fun of the thing. An uncontested divorce always seems to me contrary to the spirit of divorce.
Donald Barthelme
Image
Habit is the beneficent harness of routine which enables silly men to live respectfully and unhappy men to live calmly
George Eliot
Image
Would ministers preach for eternity! They would then act the part of true Christian orators, and not only calmly and cooly inform the understanding, but, by persuasive, pathetic address, endeavour to move the affections and warm the heart.
George Whitefield
Image
Right, Sadie said. And Set will just stand there calmly while I read him to death.
Rick Riordan

It seemed fun to play a villain on stage and I wanted my jokes to be so good that I could just calmly tell them on stage.
Anthony Jeselnik
Image
This, to me, is the ultimately heroic trait of ordinary people they say no to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance.
Philip K. Dick
Image
Our time is fixed, and all our days are number'd How long, how short, we know not:—this we know, Duty requires we calmly wait the summons, Nor dare to stir till Heaven shall give permission.
Robert Blair
Image
Humor is a kind of emotional chaos told about calmly and quietly in retrospect.There is always a laugh in the utterly familiar.
Max Eastman
Image
When I turn on the TV in Russia I see a general calmly claiming that our missiles are ahead of the latest American models by three five-year plans. It's a nightmare. We are creating a concept of the enemy, just as they did in the Soviet era. This is a giant step backward.
Vladimir Sorokin
Image
You sit at the board and suddenly your heart leaps. Your hand trembles to pick up the piece and move it. But what chess teaches you is that you must sit there calmly and think about whether it's really a good idea and whether there are other, better ideas.
Stanley Kubrick
Image
A defensive investor can always prosper by looking patiently and calmly through the wreckage of a bear market.
Benjamin Graham
Image
Even if [the Pope an incarnate devil], we ought not to raise up our heads against him, but calmly lie down to rest on his bosom... He who rebels against our Father is condemned to death, for that which we do to him we do to Christ: we honor Christ if we honor the Pope we dishonor Christ if we dishonor the Pope.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
people never write calmly but when they write indifferently.
Mary Wortley Montagu
Image
You are just jealous, Magnus remarked calmly. Because you do not have the soul of a true artiste like myself. Oh, I am positively green with envy, Ragnor snapped. Come now, Ragnor. That's not fair, said Magnus. You know I love it when you make jokes about your complexion.
Cassandra Clare
Image
If I'm not mistaken, Sigmund Freud said that in every idealisation there's an aggression. Depicting the Pope as a sort of Superman, a star, is offensive to me. The pope is a man who laughs, cries, sleeps calmly and has friends like everyone else. A normal person.
Pope Francis
Image
If you join government, calmly make your contribution and move on. Don't go along to get along do your best and when you have to - and you will - leave, and be something else.
Peggy Noonan
Image
There cannot possibly be a god in heaven watching all of this calmly.
Ravi Shankar
Image
A disciple said to him, I am ready, in the quest for God , to give up anything: wealth, friends, family, country, life itself. What else can a person give up? The Master calmly replied, One's beliefs about God.
Anthony de Mello
