Quote Left Rough wind, that moanest loudGrief too sad for songWild wind, when sullen cloudKnells all the night longSad storm, whose tears are vain,Bare woods, whose branches strain,Deep caves and dreary main, - Wail, for the world's wrong Quote Right
Quote Left The cool kindliness of sheets, that soon smooth away trouble; and the rough male kiss of blankets. Quote Right
Quote Left The traveler that resolutely follows a rough and winding path will sooner reach the end of his journey than he that is always changing his direction, and wastes the hour of daylight in looking for smoother ground and shorter passages. Quote Right
Quote Left When a girl gets cut, it's not like we're being snobs or anything. The girls pick the sororities they want, the sororities list the girls they want, it all goes into a computer, and the computer matches everybody up, ... We're not sitting in a room, going down a list, and saying 'Oh, I hate her.' It's a mutual match. Kind of like online dating...but that's a really rough comparison. Quote Right
Quote Left When I came in here he was very instrumental in teaching me patience and understanding the game. He did that constantly and laid back sometimes when I was having a rough day. He had that big-brother mentality. Quote Right
Quote Left People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. Quote Right
Quote Left Chicago sounds rough to the maker of verse. One comfort we have - Cincinnati sounds worse. Quote Right
Quote Left Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day? Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed; But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. Quote Right
Quote Left It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness. Quote Right
Quote Left It's when things get rough and you don't quit that success comes. Quote Right
Quote Left I hung in there well. I didn't play particularly well. I hit a lot of poor drives, and when I drove the ball well I continued to drive it in the first cut (of rough). It was kind of frustrating because nothing really seemed to get the momentum going. When I did get the momentum going, like on Sunday, I made a mistake. Quote Right
Quote Left  When horses, drawing a cart, come to a rough road or a steep hill, and it is hard for them to draw the cart without help, it is our duty to help them, even when they belong to a non-Jew, because of the precept not to be cruel to animals, lest the owner smite them to force them to draw more than their strength permits. Quote Right
Quote Left It must be owned, that the Graces do not seem to be natives of Great Britain; and I doubt, the best of us here have more of rough than polished diamond. Quote Right
Quote Left The best of artists hath no thought to show, which the rough stone in its superfluous shell, doth not include; to break the marble spell, is all the hand that serves the brain can do. Quote Right
Quote Left Talk happiness. The world is sad enough without your woe. No path is wholly rough. Quote Right
Quote Left Caricature is rough truth. Quote Right
Quote Left Difficulties show men what they are. In case of any difficulty remember that God has pitted you against a rough antagonist that you may be a conqueror, and this cannot be without toil. Quote Right
Quote Left Before the gates of excellence the high gods have placed sweat long is the road thereto and rough and steep at first but when the heights are reached, then there is ease, though grievously hard in the winning. Quote Right
Quote Left I am delighted to have you play football. I believe in rough, manly sports. But I do not believe in them if they degenerate into the sole end of any one's existence. I don't want you to sacrifice standing well in your studies to any over-athleticism and I need not tell you that character counts for a great deal more than either intellect or body in winning success in life. Athletic proficiency is a mighty good servant, and like so many other good servants, a mighty bad master. Quote Right
Quote Left If we are on the outside, we assume a conspiracy is the perfect working of a scheme. Silent nameless men with unadorned hearts. A conspiracy is everything that ordinary life is not. It's the inside game, cold, sure, undistracted, forever closed off to us. We are the flawed ones, the innocents, trying to make some rough sense of the daily jostle. Conspirators have a logic and a daring beyond our reach. All conspiracies are the same taut story of men who find coherence in some criminal act. Quote Right
Quote Left Before the gates of excellence the high gods have placed sweat; long is the road thereto and rough and steep at first; but when the heights are reached, then there is ease, though grievously hard in the winning. Quote Right
Quote Left Ted Striker It was a rough place - the seediest dive on the wharf. Populated with every reject and cutthroat from Bombay to Calcutta. It's worse than Detroit. Quote Right
Quote Left I am one of those who believe that spiritual progress is a rule of human life, but the approach to perfection is slow and painful. If a woman elevates herself in one respect and is retarded in another, it is because the rough trail that leads to the mountain peak is not free of ambushes of thieves and lairs of wolves. Quote Right
Quote Left Everyone gets their rough day. No one gets a free ride. Today so far, I had a good day. I got a dial tone. Quote Right
Quote Left Yes, there are times when something is legitimately not our fault. Blaming others, however, keeps us in a stuck state and is ultimately rough on our own self-esteem. Quote Right
Quote Left What opium is instilled into all disaster? It shows formidable as we approach it, but there is at last no rough rasping friction, but the most... Quote Right
Quote Left Don't learn to do, but learn in doing. Let your falls not be on a prepared ground, but let them be bona fide falls in the rough and tumble of the world. Quote Right
Quote Left A chic type, a rough type, an odd type - but never a stereotype Quote Right
Quote Left God Almighty never intended that the devil should triumph over the Church. He never intended that the saloons should walk rough-shod over Christianity. Quote Right
Quote Left For one man's chin is as rough as another's, and one man's lies are as smooth as another's Quote Right

Quote Left When I say the word 'trolls' I don't mean just the people in public who chuck bricks at windows. Also talking about the ones who do it when you turn around. They have a pencil sharpened that says 'empathetic oath' - it becomes a shiv if you catch them throwing rocks. Turns out sticks and stones absolutely will hurt you, if they're lies about you told to everyone else and they are ignorant enough to believe it. That fades, along with your responsibilities. Liberation through betrayal. Quote Right
Quote Left "I love when the wind goes through windchimes and they sing like a choir." Quote Right
Quote Left Artists resemble oysters - the uglier the mollusk, the prettier it’s pearls. And each of them - a grain of sand or even just a vermin in the past, that brought the bearing creature pain and suffering. Quote Right
Quote Left If you have fear of opening up your words, then there are no possibilities to get your passion. Just throw all your anxiety and go through like a king going to the war. Let's start from today. Quote Right
Quote Left "Don't try to coerce respect through intimidation or obsequiousness - these strategies undermine self-worth and lead to frustration. Authentic respect cannot be compelled; it stems from others' own judgments and choices. Instead of trying to control others' behavior, focus on self-respect and upholding your own standards of integrity. Lead by example through principled and rational responses that speak for themselves. By doing so, you'll maintain personal power and demonstrate true character." Quote Right

Quote Left There is no point in ego stroking, your own or those of others. It is much more useful to ego challenge. Because when one has embodied onto Earth we come to evolve. This can only come through confrontation with ego which has no soul. It is a shell that must be cracked. ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right
Quote Left “Contests around track, contests for followers, for best tasting wine, most exquisite architectural design ~ endless quests to become best versions of Self, sharpen mind, mould Soul to perfection, through which Divine can chime, new times” ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right
Quote Left The only way to a wicked man’s heart is through surgery. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu Quote Right
Quote Left If you’re passing through pain, endure it. If you’re passing through pleasure, enjoy it. Both are like night and day, which we all MUST pass through. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu Quote Right
Quote Left A good book and a smooth road are similar: you’d always love to pass through them over and over again. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu Quote Right
Quote Left Faith. Hope. Dream. These are energy boosters man needs as he desperately races through life. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu Quote Right
Quote Left God teaches us all we need to move ourselves through this time and into our eternity. Loving us, he guides us with all of his commandments. Lifting prayers today and always. Quote Right
Quote Left It’s hard to live with dignity when the world teaches you to survive through compromise. Quote Right
Quote Left Teaching thrives not through control, but through trust in the journey each child must take. Quote Right
Quote Left Dating is so important to a long lasting relationship. Get to know the other person really well, it's ok to date for a lengthy period. Consummating a relationship outside of marriage is still a covenant made, in God's eyes. Oxytocin is the bonding drug our bodies create. You are fighting physical and emotional connection when you don't respect the process. There is a lot of therapy gone through because God's program for relationships [or "ships" as the kids say] and marriages are not followed. Quote Right
Quote Left We travel and see through the shallows and depths of many. Poetry is the Poet's shared ark of survival and discovery. Quote Right
Quote Left ~ Daisies grow on the ground - when the morning sun shines through the gallows ~ quote by Anne-Lise Andresen Quote Right
Quote Left see through the eyes not through smile Quote Right
Quote Left Fame is when they hand you rocket boots and call it destiny. You start floating through interviews and blockbuster movies, until you forget what grass smells like. Quote Right
Quote Left In this age of Grace (which doesn't mean we abrogate but fulfill the law) we are to be: A prophet by encouraging what God's Word says, and by warning of what God's Word says (Ezekiel 3:21) we are to be a priest by ministering to others to serve others graciously (2 Cor. 9:7) and we are to be kings as we rule our lives according to godly living (1 Peter 2) 1 Peter 4:11c "that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ" Quote Right
Quote Left “What is strength ? Strength is when a river cuts through a rock, not because of its flowing power, but because of its persistance.” ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right
Quote Left Meaning is the outside brought in. Quote Right
Quote Left Long past is the purview of measured discourse. Civility must, of necessity, yield to passions rougher embrace. Quote Right
Quote Left No institution can exist that purportedly upholds the rule of law by breaking it. No institution that has become the prime offender of citizens rights can claim to protect them. Experience has shown that governments are not immune to corruption and therefore are bound by necessity, when required, to reformation. Prudence dictates corruption abrogates the ability for self correction and so remedy must be accomplished through external means. Quote Right
Quote Left God lives through and within His Creation...I refuse to add more tears. Quote Right
Quote Left The human form is a vehicle...a housing -- yet a temple, through which The Divine can manifest his glorious kingdom on earth...when and if we act accordingly, direct our "Us" tenant spirits to behave righteous thus fully representative of Christ. A Light victory, over the sphere of lifeless darkness. Quote Right
Quote Left "Steampunk is a brass-geared rebellion of imagination, where steam-powered dreams conquer the impossible. It's not just cogs and clockwork, but a conscious map exploring the tensions between progress and ethics, individuality and authority, humanity and nature—all through the lens of a reimagined past." -Daniel Henry Rodgers Quote Right
Quote Left The patience to have patience is a big deal which can be inculcated through enhancing listening skills embellished with the capability of absorbing what lies at the base and straining the rest. Quote Right
Quote Left Throughout life you'll meet one person who is like no other, you can talk to this person for hours and they never get bored, you can tell this person things and they will never judge you, this person is your partner your soulmate your best friend never let them go. Quote Right
