Quotations by Subject: Light (8 quotes)

Results from Poor Man's College:

The best lightning rod for your protection is your own spine.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
One kernel is felt in a hogshead; one drop of water helps to swell the ocean; a spark of fire help to give light to the world. None are too small, too feeble, too poor to be of service. Think of this and act.: Hannah More
It is a very serious duty, perhaps of all duties the most serious, to look into one's own character and conduct, and accurately read one's own heart. It is virtually looking into eternity, and all its vast and solemn realities, which must appear delightful or awful, according as the heart appears to be conformed or not conform to God.: Emmons
The slightest sorrow for sin is sufficient if it produce amendment, and the greatest insufficient if it do not.: C. C. Colton
Promptitude is not only a duty, but is also a part of good manners; it is favorable to fortune, reputation, influence, and usefulness; a little attention and energy will form the habit, so as to make it easy and delightful.: Charles Simmons
Whatever touches the nerves of motive, whatever shifts man's moral position, is mightier than steam, or calorie, or lightening.: Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Memory tempers prosperity, mitigates adversity, control youth, and delights old age.: Firmianus Lactantius
Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.: Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887)
Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature's delight.: Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121 AD - 180 AD)
The faculty of imagination is the great spring of human activity, and the principle source of human improvement. As it delights in presenting to the mind scenes and characters more perfect than those which we are acquainted with, it prevents us from ever being completely satisfied without present condition, or with our past attainments, and engages us continually in the pursuit of some untried enjoyment, or of some ideal excellence. Destroy this faculty, and the condition of man will become as stationary as that of the brutes.: Dugald Stewart
