Up

Dean Ornish Quote: “I grew up in Texas, eating…”

I grew up in Texas, eating meat five times a day, and I liked meat. But I began being a vegetarian when I was 19 because I found that I felt better.

Meghan O’Rourke Quote: “A mother, after all, is your…”

A mother, after all, is your entry into the world. She is the shell in which you divide and become a life. Waking up in a world without her is like waking up in a world without sky: unimaginable.

October 27, 2021 1976, American, Meghan O'Rourke, Quotes by Poets

Majora Carter Quote: “One thing I noticed working in…”

One thing I noticed working in the Bronx is that leaders come in the craziest places. They don’t always show up at community board meetings. Sometimes it’s just the guys on the corner that the boys on the block respect.

October 26, 2021 1966, American, Majora Carter, October 27, Quotes by Activists

Simone Weil Quote: “It is not the cause for…”

Baltasar Gracian Quote: “Don’t show off every day, or…”

Don’t show off every day, or you’ll stop surprising people. There must always be some novelty left over. The person who displays a little more of it each day keeps up expectations, and no one ever discovers the limits of his talent.

October 23, 2021 1601, Baltasar Gracian, January 8, Quotes by Philosophers, Spanish

Marquis de Lafayette Quote: “If the king refuses the constitution…”

If the king refuses the constitution, I shall oppose him; if he accepts it, I shall defend him; and the day on which he gave himself up as my prisoner secured me more fully to his service than if he had promised me half his kingdom.

October 21, 2021 1757, French, Marquis de Lafayette, Quotes by Revolutionaries, September 6

Henry B. Eyring Quote: “We never need feel we are…”

We never need feel we are alone or unloved in the Lord’s service because we never are. The Savior has promised angels on our left and on our right to bear us up, and he always keeps his word.

October 20, 2021 1933, American, Henry B. Eyring, May 31, Quotes by Leaders

Paul Engle Quote: “But maybe it’s up in the…”

But maybe it’s up in the hills under the leaves or in a ditch somewhere. Maybe it’s never found. But what you find, whatever you find, is always only part of the missing, and writing is the way the poet finds out what it is he found.

October 19, 2021 1908, American, Paul Engle, Quotes by Poets

Paul Valery Quote: “The best way to make your…”

The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.

October 17, 2021 1871, French, October 30, Paul Valery, Quotes by Poets

Al Sharpton Quote: “I always beat the sun up…”

I always beat the sun up in the morning. It’s the secret to why I’m double trouble.

October 17, 2021 1954, Al Sharpton, American, October 3, Quotes by Activists
