What idea have you of it? You cannot of yourselves, without revelation, admit the existence within you of anything but a power unknown to you of feeling and thinking. - Voltaire (Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire), A Philosophical Dictionary--Soul And keeps that palace of the soul serene. - Edmund Waller, Of Tea (l. 9) The Egyptians, by the concurrent testimony of antiquity, were among the first who taught that the soul was immortal. - Bishop William Warburton The soul, Advancing ever to the source of light And all perfection, lives, adores, and reigns In cloudless knowledge, purity, and bliss. - Henry Ware, Jr. Were I so tall to reach the pole, Or grasp the ocean with my span, I must be measur'd by my soul: The mind's the standard of the man. - Isaac Watts, False Greatness--Horae Lyricae (bk.

Was it mirth or ease, Or heaping up dust from year to year? "Nay, none of these!" Speak, soul, aright in His holy sight, Whose eye looks still And steadily on thee through the night; "To do His will!" - John Greenleaf Whittier Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you. - Oscar Wilde (Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde) The soul is born old but grows young. That is the comedy of life. And the body is born young and grows old. That is life's tragedy. - Oscar Wilde (Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde), A Woman of No Importance The gods approve the depth, and not the tumult of the soul. - William Wordsworth But who would force the Soul, tilts with a straw Against a Champion cased in adamant. - William Wordsworth, Ecclesiastical Sonnets (pt. III, VII, Persecution of the Scottish Covenanters) For the Gods approve The depth, and not the tumult, of the soul. - William Wordsworth, Laodamia Lord of himself, though not of lands; And having nothing, yet hath all. - Sir Henry Wotton, The Character of a Happy Life (st. 6) Is not the mighty mind, that son of heaven! By tyrant life dethroned, imprison'd, pain'd? By death enlarg'd, ennobled, deify'd? Death but entombs the body; life the soul. - Edward Young Who tells me he denies his soul's immortal, Whate'er his boast, has told me he's a knave; His duty, 'tis to love himself alone, Nor care though mankind perish, if he smiles, Who thinks ere long the man shall wholly die, Is dead already; nought but brute survives. - Edward Young Displaying page 9 of 9 for this topic: << Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 [9]
