Behold the difference between the Oriental and the Occidental. The former has nothing to do in this world; the latter is full of activity. The one looks in the sun until his eyes are put out; the other follows him prone in his westward course.
Henry David Thoreau
As an American people, what is greatest about our history are the many times we have led this world away from hate, towards hope.
Benjamin Jealous
I have no illusions about my position in this world as an actor or anything like that. I’m very realistic. Reality is a very liberating thing.
Anthony Hopkins
Glamour is all about transcending this world and getting to an idealized, perfect place.
Virginia Postrel
From the respect paid to property flow, as from a poisoned fountain, most of the evils and vices which render this world such a dreary scene to the contemplative mind.
Mary Wollstonecraft
You just never give up, no matter how hard the challenges are, and observe this world with a healthy dose of criticism and don’t just follow the herd like somebody else might do.
Renny Harlin
What makes you happy is seeing someone else smile because you put it there. That’s what’s awesome about living in this world.
Zach Sobiech
It is ignorance or at least lack of consideration of heavenly things that make the temporal things of this world, whether good or evil, greater than they really are.
Tom Patton
There’s a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. It would be a pity to damage yours.
Cary Elwes
Through our thanks, we honor all possibilities and bring the ones we choose into this world.
Gregg Braden
All the sleepers in a night of delution beholding so many dreams. In this world of darkness, only those who sever themselves from the meterial world, become absorbed in the contemplation of the supreme. None can be regarded as really woken up from sleep till they have renounced all sensuous delights.
Tulsidas
We should listen to the voice of conscience. It does not take nearly as much courage as one might think to admit to our mistakes and learn from them. Human beings are in this world to learn and to change themselves in learning.
Traudl Junge
In this world, there is nothing softer or thinner than water. But to compel the hard and unyielding, it has no equal. That the weak overcomes the strong, that the hard gives way to the gentle – this everyone knows. Yet no one asks accordingly.
Laozi
The virtues which keep this world sweet and the faithfulness which keeps it steadfast are chiefly those of the average man. The danger of the two-talent man is that he will be content with mediocrity.
Walter Russell Bowie
The only religion that ought to be taught is the religion of fearlessness. Either in this world or in the world of religion, it is true that fear is the sure cause of degradation and sin. It is fear that brings misery, fear that brings death, fear that breeds evil. And what causes fear? Ignorance of our own nature.
Swami Vivekananda
The really wonderful moments of joy in this world are not the moments of self-satisfaction, but self-forgetfulness. Standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon and contemplating your own greatness is pathological. At such moments we are made for a magnificent joy that comes from outside ourselves.
John Piper
Everything is relative in this world, where change alone endures. Everything is better than some things and worse than others. Which you choose to compare your experiences and situation with determines whether you will be happy and grateful or sad and jealous.
Leon Trotsky
Almost all of my jobs have been on locations. And I think you can be that person who says, ‘I have a job that forces me to travel and I’m just going to go ahead and do it and pray for my next flight home.’ Or ‘this is where I am, this is my life, let me see a part of this world I now live in.’
Erin Cummings
I can tell you what women need in general. They need respect and love. They need to be able to trust your word and to be able to confide in you. So often, we can’t care for ourselves in this world, so we need protection and provision.
Tracie Peterson
Violence is the easy way out and it only leads to more violence. We need people in this world who are willing to find solutions through peace, through communication, honesty and diplomacy. World peace may seem impossible, but it’s worth aiming for.
Demi Lovato
We are not going to move this world by criticism of it nor conformity to it, but by the combustion within it of lives ignited by the Spirit of God.
Vance Havner
Buddhism is not just going to temple, being at a ceremony and dressing up. That is the church of Buddhism. Esoteric Buddhism is to move beyond this world.
Frederick Lenz
You cannot make anything worthwhile in this world unless you have first developed and transformed yourself.
Robert Greene
Don’t let your heart get broken by this world.
Dan Bern
Everything I have in this world, I owe to the sport of boxing, and I won’t ever forget that.
Oscar De La Hoya
In this world, all–men, women, and kings–must live for the present. We can only live for the future for God
Alexandre Dumas
The real trouble with this world of ours is not that it is an unreasonable one. The trouble is that it is nearly reasonable, but not quite.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
A man should have the fine point of his soul taken off to become fit for this world.
John Keats
Joseph Smith, the Prophet and Seer of the Lord, has done more, save Jesus only, for the salvation of men in this world, than any other man that ever lived in it.
Sam Smith
As a kid, there [on TV] were things I wasn’t aware of – insecurities while transition from teen to adult. When I was around 17 and 18, I started seeing the benefits of this world.
Kofi Siriboe
The contemplation of this world beckoned as a liberation (…)The road to this paradise was not as comfortable and alluring as the road to the religious paradise; but it has shown itself reliable, and I have never regretted having chosen it.
Albert Einstein
This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.
Horace Walpole
The only trouble with this world today lies in our lack of understanding of the power of imagination.
Napoleon Hill
The lion and the lamb may, possibly, sumtime lay down in this world together for a fu minnits, but when the lion kums tew git up, the lamb will be missing.
Josh Billings
we have these instincts which defy all our wisdom and for which we never can frame any laws. … They are powers which are imperfectly developed in this life, but one cannot help the thought that the mystery of this world may be the commonplace of the next.
Sarah Orne Jewett
This world of the imagination is fancy-free and violently opposed to common sense.
Mark Rothko
This mass terrorism is the new evil in our world today. It is perpetrated by fanatics who are utterly indifferent to the sanctity of human life, and we the democracies of this world are going to have to come together and fight it together.
Tony Blair
We cannot escape the clear fact that what is going to win in this world is reason, if this ever becomes a reasonable world.
W. E. B. Du Bois
The principal thing in this world is to keep one’s soul aloft.
Gustave Flaubert
The goods of this world are most dear to me, but much dearer are peace of mind and my own honor.
Claudio Monteverdi
From the moment you entered this world of existence, a ladder was put in front of you so you could escape.
Rumi
There never was another like you in this world. God throws the mold away every time he makes a man [or woman]… I think He made you what you are in order that you might do some particular thing better than anyone else in the world could do it.
Hugh B. Brown
The only way we can make this world a better place is to transcend it.
Radhanath Swami
Nonphysical beings are drawn to enlightened beings. Some come to aid them in there work; some come to interfere. Some just come to watch. Enlightenment is rare in this world.
Frederick Lenz
The thing I’ve done the best in this world is giving birth to Saet Byul. I can’t imagine my world without her
Kim Soo-hyun
Everything changes radically from the moment you know yourself as being sent into this world.
Henri Nouwen
No matter who you are, where you’ve come from, what you’ve been through… You can make a difference in this world.
Demi Lovato
All that this world knows of living lies in giving – and more giving; He that keeps, be sure he loses -Friendship grows by what it uses.
Alexander MacLaren
..which should teach you something about this world. That it’s a place where whatever you work for and care about is bound to be taken away from you sooner or later, and there isn’t a thing you can do about it.
Clive Barker
This world of ours… must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Truth is born into this world only with pangs and tribulations, and every fresh truth is received unwillingly. To expect the world to receive a new truth, or even an old truth, without challenging it, is to look for one of those miracles which do not occur.
Alfred Russel Wallace
The only thing that is still free in this world is religion, which is why a lot of people “find it.
Jimmy Buffett
I shouldn’t steal in this world.
Byron Katie
Even just reading “I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore,”I got a sense of the world and the story [Macon Blair] wanted to tell. And then I had a meeting with him and understood how he likes to work. I really trusted him from the beginning.
Melanie Lynskey
If you live for this world, you are in the junk business. It’s all just premature junk.

Ernest Bevin
In the affairs of this world, men are saved not by faith, but by the want of it.
Benjamin Franklin
Think of what you love most in this world. This is what you will come back to in your next life.
Frederick Lenz
This world and the world to come are two enemies. We cannot therefore be friends to both; but we must decide which we will forsake and which we will enjoy.
Pope Clement I
The man of Self-realization knows a bliss that cannot be compared to anything in this world. His joy is independent of any object or sensory experience. It is an incomparable happiness that cannot be described in words. Such joy is known as sattvik-ananda.
Paramahansa Yogananda
There’s nothing in this world can make me joy: Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man; And bitter shame hath spoil’d the sweet world’s taste That it yields nought but shame and bitterness.
William Shakespeare
We were not sent into this world to do anything into which we cannot put our hearts.
John Ruskin
This world would be a whole lot better if we just made an effort to be less horrible to one another. If we took just five minutes to recognize each other’s beauty instead of attacking each other for our differences – that’s not hard – it’s really an easier and better way to live.
Ellen Page
Attitude is tremendously important in chasing success – in any field of endeavour. That’s why I believe talent alone will get you very little in this world.
Jim Stynes
There are two primary forces in this world, fear and faith. Fear can move you to destructiveness or sickness or failure. Only in rare instances will it motivate you to accomplishment. But faith is a greater force. Faith can drive itself into your consciousness and set you free from fear forever.
Norman Vincent Peale
He that in the ordinary affairs of life would admit of nothing but direct plain demonstration would be sure of nothing in this world but of perishing quickly.
John Locke
Dr. Barney stared at me, his lips puckered. What was he so serious about? Who hasn’t thought about killing themselves, as a kid? How can you grow up in this world and not think about it?
Ned Vizzini
I’m happy to tell you there is very little in this world that I believe in.
George Carlin
Marco Polo tells the tale of The Old Man in the Mountains and how he recruits new members to his Band of Assassins by means of drugs, beautiful women, lush gardens, and religious promises. The unfortunate thing about this world is that the good habits are much easier to give up than the bad ones.
W. Somerset Maugham
There are certain men born in this world, and they’re supposed to die setting an example for the rest of the weak bastards we’re surrounded with.
Dan Hill
There is some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Thought is a key to all treasures; the miser’s gains are ours without his cares. Thus I have soared above this world, where my enjoyments have been intellectual joys.
Honore de Balzac
Maybe there is no peace in this world. I don’t know … But I know as long as we live we must stay true to ourselves.
Kirk Douglas
We are valued in this world at the rate we desire to be valued.
Jean de la Bruyere
He slipped away slowly, withdrawing from this world by small, imperceptible degrees, and in the end it was as if he were a drop of water evaporating in the sun, shrinking and shrinking until at last he wasn’t there anymore.
Paul Auster
Anyone who rises above the things of this world, to which you kneel, is mightier than you.
Ibn Hazm
Beyond this world there are myriad worlds, thousands of inter-dimensional planes with different types of beings going through other cycles of existence. Beyond all beings is something that is eternal.
Frederick Lenz
Almighty God freely bestows the good things in this world in proportion to a person’s mental readiness to receive.
Norman Vincent Peale
…The final secret is that there is no secret. Devote yourself to your leader. Work hard. Be grateful. Act boldly. Some may deride such suggestions as commonplace, and they’d be right: They are common. But to see them successfully enacted in this world is rare indeed.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi
The other thing is we have an incredible villain. And we worked very hard to have villains that are connected to the hero. They have an effect, an emotional effect. They never become out-of-this-world, crazy villains.
Avi Arad
You can’t live in this world but there’s nowhere else to go.
Jack Kerouac
Few things in this world more trouble people than poverty, or the fear of poverty; and, indeed, it is a sore affliction; but, like all other ills that flesh is heir to, it has its antidote, its reliable remedy. The judicious application of industry, prudence and temperance is a certain cure.
Hosea Ballou
I don’t like the collusion between high fashion design and high street. You have to know where you stand. I belong to luxury fashion. That’s what I’ve always felt and embraced. I like the best quality, the best fabrics and the most creative field in fashion. I will stay consistent. I belong to this world.
Hedi Slimane
But in this world nothing is sure but death and taxes.
[Fr., Mais dons ce monde, il n’y a rien d’assure que le mort et les impots.]
Benjamin Franklin
Understanding that everything is impermanent, that happiness is transformed into suffering, and that all phenomena are lacking reality in themselves and are only projections of our mind, will permit us to counteract the first hindrance to meditation, that is, our attachment to this world.
Bokar Rinpoche
He [the miser] falls down and worships the god of this world, but will have neither its pomps, its vanities nor its pleasures for his trouble.
Charles Caleb Colton
If you are the body, you are in terrible trouble! One small microbe will destroy it one day, if not an accident. You have but a short time to live in this world.
Frederick Lenz
And surely, he that hath taken the true Altitude of Things, and rightly calculated the degenerate state of this Age, is not like to envy those that shall live in the next, much less three or four hundred Years hence, when no Man can comfortably imagine what Face this World will carry.
Thomas Browne
You must either suffer in this life or give up the hope of seeing God in Heaven. Sufferings and persecutions are of the greatest avail to us, because we can find therein a very efficient means to make atonement for our sins, since we are bound to suffer for them either in this world or in the next.
Jean-Marie Le Pen
To be conformed to this world is to risk the loss of one’s eternal soul.
R. C. Sproul
My dear young fellow,’ the Old-Green-Grasshopper said gently, ‘there are a whole lot of things in this world of ours you haven’t started wondering about yet.
Roald Dahl
You have something in this world, so stand for it.
Ghassan Kanafani
Defeat in this world is no disgrace and that is what they cannot understand. If you really fought well and fought for the right thing.
Katherine Anne Porter
In this world we see more passion than dispassion. We see more fear than knowledge. Armies rule the world. Fear-net is happening. Consequently, everyone is raised with fear embedded in their consciousness.
Frederick Lenz
The most important lesson that man can learn from life, is not that there is pain in this world, but that it is possible for him to transmute it into joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
This world is magnificent for strangers and pilgrims, but miserable for residents.
Henry Ward Beecher
Far from seeking to justify, as does the Church, the necessity of torments and afflictions, he cried, in his outraged pity: ‘If a God has made this world, I should not wish to be that God. The world’s wretchedness would rend my heart.
Joris-Karl Huysmans
Why do we meditate? We meditate precisely because this world of ours has disappointed us and because failure looms large in our day-to-day life. We want fulfillment. We want joy, peace, bliss and perfection within and without. Meditation is the answer, the only answer.
Sri Chinmoy
The dream appears to be real. It does really seem we are here in this world; but this is not so.
Frederick Lenz
I feel I have a divine mandate to go and tell the people of this world that it is possible to be strong in the Lord Jesus Christ. We are in training for the tribulation, but more than sixty percent of the Body of Christ across the world has already entered into the tribulation. There is no way to escape it. We are next
Corrie Ten Boom
I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.
Mary Oliver
Boot the grime of this world in the crotch dear.
Steven Morrissey
I’m not the same as other people. I don’t think the same. I don’t do the same things. I just feel out of this world sometimes.
Lil Wayne
I believe if you work hard and you dream big enough, you can accomplish anything in this world.
Buddy Valastro
The brain, knowing that a person can’t live forever in this world, rationalizes a future, or other-dimensional, world in which immortality is possible. In other words, religion is the earliest form of science fiction.
Philip Jose Farmer
As your love grows, you will find that your attachment to this world will begin to fall away.
Frederick Lenz
We are born to trouble; and we may depend upon it, whilst we live in this world, we shall have it, though with intermissions.
Laurence Sterne
This world is out of date
Kamila Shamsie
I am a democrat only on principle, not by instinct, nobody is that. Doubtless some people say they are, but this world is grievously given to lying.
Mark Twain
Go, poor devil, get thee gone! Why should I hurt thee? This world surely is wide enough to hold both thee and me.
Laurence Sterne
Look to what you have around you and be grateful, instead of searching for more. All you take with you when you leave this world is love, friendship, and good deeds.
Sylvia Browne
Jesus , in some respects, was an anarchist, for he had no idea of civil government . That government seems to him purely and simply an abuse. A great social revolution, in which rank will be overturned, in which all authority in this world will be humiliated, was his dream .
Ernest Renan
to a Southerner it is faux pas, not sins, that matter in this world.
Florence King
We all profess to believe when we’re told that this world should be used merely as a preparation for the next; and yet there is something so cold and comfortless in the theory that we do not relish the prospect even for our children.
Anthony Trollope
You think of yourself as a citizen of the universe. You think you belong to this world of dust and matter. Out of this dust you have created a personal image, and have forgotten about the essence of your true origin
Rumi
I never aspired to be 2nd. I was taught… you can do whatever you want in this world, so why not be the best in the world?
Ronda Rousey
We have to choices in this world; we either try to survive or to give up.
Randa Abdel-Fattah
I know that I could make this world peaceful and calm, if I only could get my hands on a hydrogen bomb.
Todd Rundgren
There are so many kids in this world, and in this country, that need homes. And so we’re perfectly content to look into adoption one day, if for some reason we aren’t able to have a biological child.
Lisa Ling
If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.
Henry Ford
Children are the brightest treasures we bring forth into this world, but too large a percentage of the population continues to treat them as inconveniences and nuisances, when they’re not treating them as possessions or toys.
Charles de Lint
Keep a cool head and a warm heart. A mantra that became a song, inspired by the wise words of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. If we all take the time to listen and love each other, this world would be a better place.
Mike Love
There is no communication in this world except between equals.
Ken Burns
It is true that men themselves made this world of nations… but this world without doubt has issued from a mind often diverse, at times quite contrary, and always superior to the particular ends that men had proposed to themselves.
Giambattista Vico
There is nothing sadder in this world than the waste of human potential. The purpose of evolution is to raise us out of the mud, not have us grovelling in it.
Andrew Schneider
The best pleasures of this world are not quite true.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As everything in this world is but a sham, Death is the only sincerity.
Yamamoto Tsunetomo
The troubles of this world pass, and what we have left is what we have made of our souls.
Shoghi Effendi
When we leave this world, and are laid in the earth, the prince walks as narrow a path as the day-laborer.
Miguel de Cervantes
There can be no higher enjoyment found in this world that is found in pulling souls out of the fire and bringing them to Christ.
Charles Grandison Finney
Because I live in California now, I find my musings really being centered in this world.
Lori Lansens
Be not entangled in this world of days and nights; Thou hast another time and space as well.
Muhammad Iqbal
Our performance during this World Cup has not been enough to progress further and both myself and all the players regret that and are hurt more than people realise.
David Beckham
The most central truth to the creation account is that this world is a place for God’s presence.
John H. Walton
It is perfectly possible to get what you think you want and be miserable. It’s possible too, to never get it but deeply enjoy the process of trying. In this world, there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
Oscar Wilde
What we see in this world is a gross abnormality. The human consciousness fails to perceive the very simple, divine nature of every atom in every moment.
Frederick Lenz
There are some sick people in this world.
Phil McGraw
What’s wrong with this world is, it’s not finished yet. It is not completed to that point where man can put his final signature to the job and say, “It is finished. We made it, and it works.
William Faulkner
It is such hard work to keep your heart hidden! And worse, by the time you find it easy, it will be harder still to show it. It is a terrible magic in this world to ask for exactly the thing you want. Not least because to know exactly the thing you want and look it in the eye is a long, long labor.
Catherynne M. Valente
Every man, even the most blessed, needs a little more than average luck to survive this world.
Vance Bourjaily
I’m a sensationalist. I’m a big mouth. I get attention. In this world you have to – if you want a mass-market presentation, you have to get attention.
Bill O’Reilly
It is necessary, in this world, to be made of harder stuff than one’s environment.
Aleister Crowley
He is man whose heart is spirited and eyes are wet each moment on account of the sorrow, compassion, virtue, beauty, and nobility that decorate this world.
Kedar Joshi
The world is full of educated derelicts.
Calvin Coolidge
We don’t get to pick the genes we want. There’s room in this world for beauty to be diverse.
Lupita Nyong’o
I believe very strongly that in this world you have to have values and you have to stand up for your interests and if you don’t do those things you’re not going to get anywhere.
Stephen Harper
I loved going along with Alice Steinbach as she goes off on this rare, wonderful adventure, an escape into discovering herself and some of the truly magical places in this world.
Dominick Dunne
Women have a hard enough time in this world: telling them the truth would be too cruel.
H. L. Mencken
Nothing in this world is useless in the eyes of God.
Paulo Coelho
There are some people in this world who would never plant a seed because it doesn’t produce fruit the first season.
Ralph Nader
This book taught me, once and for all, how easily you can escape this world with the help of words! You can find friends between the pages of a book, wonderful friends.
Cornelia Funke
I think in this world and this industry, if you let it, it does. And I feel that the people who don’t have good friends and family around them are the ones who get a little funny. But I’m very lucky. I have good friends and good family and if I ever stepped out of line, my mom would take me down!
Jeremy Irvine
We all feel the riddle of the earth without anyone to point it out. The mystery of life is the plainest part of it. The clouds and curtains of darkness, the confounding vapors, these are the daily weather of this world.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
And the dream we were conceived in will reveal a joyful face… and the world we once believed in will shine again in grace. Then why do we keep strangling life wound this Earth, crucify its soul. Though it’s plain to see, this world is heavenly. We could be God’s glow… Heal the world.
Michael Jackson
Your hope in my heart is the rarest treasure
Your Name on my tongue is the sweetest word
My choicest hours
Are the hours I spend with You –
O God, I can’t live in this world
Without remembering You
Rabia Basri
Nothing during the year is so impressively convincing as the vision Christmas brings of what this world would be if love became the daily practice of human beings.
Norman Vincent Peale
Don’t be a salary slave! If you are going to do anything in this world, you must start before you are forty, before your period of initiative has ended. Do it now!
Robert Cochrane
It’s them as take advantage that get advantage I’ this world, I think: folks have to wait long enough afore it’s brought to ’em.
George Eliot
In order for the artist to have a world to express he must first be situated in this world, oppressed or oppressing, resigned or rebellious, a man among men.
Charles Baudelaire
We cannot stand alone. With 80 million people in this world of today, you cannot, when you just stand on your own, achieve much even though you may be economically strong.
Angela Merkel
While the parts change, the whole always remains the same. For every thief who departs this world, a new one is born. And every decent person who passes away is replaced by a new one. In this way not only does nothing remain the same but also nothing ever really changes.
Shams Tabrizi
There are some persons in this world, who, unable to give better proof of being wise, take a strange delight in showing what they think they have sagaciously read in mankind by uncharitable suspicions of them.
Herman Melville
This world was not created piecemeal. Africa was born no later and no earlier than any other geographical area on this globe. Africans, no more and no less than other men, possess all human attributes, talents and deficiencies, virtues and faults.
Haile Selassie
You don’t realize all the things you have in this world, much more than you need, and you do much less than you can.
Roberto Canessa
There is so much more to this world then outward appearances. Our society basks in the illusion of normalcy every day, and hides from the truth every night.
Amber Benson
It is the docile who achieve the most impossible things in this world.
Rabindranath Tagore
Humanity’s mission is to find a peace that lies beyond the veil – a peace that is not of this world. The peace that is not of this world is not dependent on human circumstances.
Marianne Williamson
Hmmmm…There certainly are a lot of pretty boys in this world.
L.A. Meyer
Like, a lot of people I know are wanting to get back to the Earth in some way and not raise their kids in this world of Apps and Internet all the time. I grew up on a river in New Jersey and I was in fantasy land. I could do anything.
Kirsten Dunst
The message of Christmas is not that we can make peace. Or that we can make love, make light, make gifts, or make this world save itself. The message of Christmas is that this world’s a mess and we can never save ourselves from ourselves and we need a Messiah.
Ann Voskamp
For me this world was neither so high nor so low as the Church would have it; chequered over with its wild light shadows, I could love it and all the children of it, more dearly, perhaps, because it was not all light.
James Anthony Froude
Life is unjust, people can be cruel, and yet if you harden your heart, you will lose what little love there is in this world.
Rita Mae Brown
People who meditate seek good moments forever. They know that there are other worlds beyond this world. They feel it. I experience those worlds when I meditate.
Frederick Lenz
Form and formless are intertwined in this world. The formless can only be expressed in form and form can only be thought with the formless.
Swami Vivekananda
If we intensify our efforts we can have a cloned baby within a year or two, but I don’t know whether we can intensify our efforts to that extent. We’re not really under pressure to deliver a cloned baby to this world. What we are under pressure to do is to deliver a cloned baby that is a healthy one.
Panayiotis Zavos
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Be afraid of nothing. Hating none, giving love to all, feeling the love of God, seeing His presence in everyone, and having but one desire – for His constant presence in the temple of your consciousness – that is the way to live in this world.
Paramahansa Yogananda
This world may be only illusion — but it’s the only illusion we’ve got.
Edward Abbey
Neglect of mathematics work injury to all knowledge, since he who is ignorant of it cannot know the other sciences or things of this world. And what is worst, those who are thus ignorant are unable to perceive their own ignorance, and so do not seek a remedy.
Roger Bacon
I am the kind of person who doesn’t recognize borders. I don’t understand why we think it is okay to keep someone within one border when they are unable to feed their family when they could be getting help somewhere else. I don’t see people as different so I don’t understand the idea of borders in this world.
Angelina Jolie
Only Christianity offers a comprehensive worldview that covers all areas of life and thought, every aspect of creation. Only Christianity offers a way to live in response to the realities that we find in this world – only Christianity.
Tom DeLay
True joy is the earnest which we have of heaven, it is the treasure of the soul, and therefore should be laid in a safe place, and nothing in this world is safe to place it in.
John Donne
We have this mistaken notion that everybody in the world has to go to college. The colleges are already crowded with people who never in this world will absorb more than a rudimentary education, and we dilute everything to meet this low standard.
Katherine Anne Porter
To be a druid is to embrace death, dance with it a while, and finally fall prey to it. That is why we’ll never rule this world. We have the power to bend all men to our whim, but are forever pushing ourselves further,trying to fly higher…and falling
Darren Shan
Vice and virtue chiefly imply the relation of our actions to men in this world; sin and holiness rather imply their relation to God and the other world.
Isaac Watts
It is the people who can do nothing who find nothing to do, and the secret to happiness in this world is not only to be useful, but to be forever elevating one’s uses.
Sarah Orne Jewett
There are few things sweeter in this world than the guileless, hotheaded, intemperate, open admiration of a junior. Even a woman in her blindest devotion does not fall into the gait of the man she adores, tilt her bonnet to the angle at which he wears his hat, or interlard her speech with his pet oaths.
Rudyard Kipling
Jesus came into this world not as a philosopher or a general but as a carpenter. All work matters to God.
Timothy Keller
There’s not too many rich black people in this world.
Barry Bonds
We are not meant to find peace in this world. The spirit of life cannot exist without effort. Destroy the rivalries of man and nations and you will have destroyed all that makes for betterment and progress on Earth.
Winston Churchill
Through our scientific and technological genius we’ve made of this world a neighborhood. And now through our moral and ethical commitment we must make of it a brotherhood. We must all learn to live together as brothers-or we will all perish together as fools.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Man was an accident on this world or it would have been made better for him!
Brian Aldiss
The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.
Albert Einstein
Herein would I live; herein would I die; hereon would I dwell in my thoughts and affections; to the withering and consumption of all the painted beauties of this world, unto the crucifying all things here below, until they become unto me a dead and deformed thing, no way meet for affectionate embraces.
John Owen
There is no feeling in this world to be compared with self-reliance–do not sacrifice that to anything else.
John D. Rockefeller
In some Mayan villages they even have a stage beyond the elder that they call the Echo Person. They say that when an Echo Person, whether a man or a woman, speaks, the words echo both in this world and in the other world. That’s why they are called Echo People.
Robert Bly
Heaven is not here, it’s There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for
Elisabeth Elliot
There are four great sciences, without which the other sciences cannot be known nor a knowledge of things secured … Of these sciences the gate and key is mathematics … He who is ignorant of this [mathematics] cannot know the other sciences nor the affairs of this world.
Roger Bacon
If the mother can’t break the attachment, they say that the baby can’t leave this world. For him to be happy in a good place you must send the child that you must send… and you must live.
Park Gye-Ok
Ever since then I have known that if all the values in this world are more or less questionable, the most important thing in life is kindness.
Yevgeny Yevtushenko
Knowledge is great. Competence is great. But the combination of both encourages people to trust you and increases your powers of enchantment. And in this world, the combination is a breath of fresh air.
Guy Kawasaki
I’ll find you. There is no place in this world you can hide from me. I’m watching. Love, Dimitri
Richelle Mead
The Western democracy of today is the forerunner of Marxism which without it would not be thinkable. It provides this world plague with the culture in which its germs can spread.
Adolf Hitler
The origin of every sin of the heart is love of this world.
Habib Umar bin Hafiz
There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
I changed all my passwords. I have no any two passwords that are the same for any service online. I have two-step verification enabled on all my devices…so yeah, I did take some extra steps that I hadn’t taken before being exposed to this world.
Zachary Quinto
Great are those two gifts, wisdom and continence: wisdom, forsooth, whereby we are formed in the knowledge of God; continence whereby we are not conformed to this world.
Saint Augustine
A sack that can contain a person’s greed…doesn’t exist in this world. If your hearts not content, no matter how much you put in the sack, it’s never enough.
Seo Do-young
Self-realization is not the awareness that this world is a dream, that’s a part of self-realization.
Frederick Lenz
As long as anything in this world means anything to you, your freedom is only a word. You are like a bird that is held by a leash; you can only fly so far.
Francois Fenelon
I don’t understand a thing about this world: about people, and why they do the things they do. The more I find out, the more I uncover, the more I know, the less I understand.
Craig Silvey
Let it never surprise true Christians if they are slandered and misrepresented in this world. They must not expect to fare better than their Lord.
J. C. Ryle
We all have a moral obligation to leave this world a better place than the world that we’ve found.
Tim McIlrath
There are countries that prefer to think that they’re buying comfort at the cost of others, but I don’t think that’s the way you can act in this world. There are no neutral groups.
Jose Maria Aznar
Think of what a paradise this world would be if men were kind and wise.
Kurt Vonnegut
Human beings never enjoy complete happiness in this world. I was not born for a different destiny to the rest of my species: to imagine such a lot befalling me is a fairy tale — a daydream.” “Which I can and will realise. I shall begin today.
Charlotte Bronte
The key is realizing – and believing – that this world is not your home. If you and I ever hope to free our lives from worldly desires, worldly thinking, worldly pleasures, worldly dreams, worldly ideals, worldly values, worldly ambitions, and worldly acclaim, then we must focus our lives on another world.
David Platt
As it is so strangely ordained in this world, what is amusing will turn into being gloomy, if you stand too long before it, and then God knows what ideas may not stray into the mind… Why is it that even in moments of unthinking, careless gaiety a different and strange mood comes upon one?
Nikolai Gogol
Nothing in this world is at it seems. Except, possibly, porridge.
Stephen Fry
You can put up with everything in this world except not with a long stretch of beautiful days.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I can feel this heart inside me and I conclude it exists. I can touch this world and I also conclude that it exists. All my knowledge ends at this point. The rest is hypothesis.
Albert Camus
Everybody should have a fair deal; everybody should have the chance to life in this world. If we were evolved as human beings, we would hopefully be able to alleviate suffering in the world.
Vivienne Westwood
We want to encourage a world of creators, of inventors, of contributors. Because this world that we live in, this interactive world, is ours.
Ayah Bdeir
truly to enjoy bodily warmth, some small part of you must be cold, for there is no quality in this world that is not what it is merely by contrast. Nothing exists in itself. If you flatter yourself that you are all over comfortable, and have been so a long time, then you cannot be said to be comfortable any more.
Herman Melville
It was so clear from the beginning – what [Macon Blair] wanted to make [in “I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore”].
Elijah Wood
One should have insight into this world of dreams that passes in the twinkling of an eye.
Hojo Shigetoki
In this world, whenever there is light, there are also shadows. As long as the concept of winners exist, there must also be losers. The selfish desire of wanting to maintain peace causes wars and hatred is born to protect love.
Masashi Kishimoto
So much harm comes into this world when the wrong thing is said. But that’s nothing compared to the pain from what goes unsaid.
Brad Meltzer
I am the Mindfreak, there’s no Reality! Just this World of Illusion that keeps on haunting me.

William Shakespeare
In studying other cultures, we learn more about ourselves and our relationship to all things in this world.
Eustace Conway
For, as I suppose, no man in this world hath lived better than I have done, to achieve that I have done.
Thomas Malory
If a man needs a religion to conduct himself properly in this world, it is a sign that he has either a limited mind or a corrupt heart.
Ninon de L’Enclos
Human life is something that comes to us from beyond this world, and the purpose of our society is to cherish it and to enable the individual to attain the highest achievement of which he is capable

Everyone in this world acknowledges as truth only what is convenient for them. They have no other way of living.
Tite Kubo
No one is more cherished in this world than someone who lightens the burden of another. Thank you.

Pete Seeger
To the degree we can live without the things of this world, we are wealthy.
Peter McWilliams
The moment you have faith, there is the experience. The moment you have trust, there is realization, there is enlightenment. Then this world no longer exists as the world. The world exists as the Self. It exists as God. And then, with our physical eyes, we can see the light of God everywhere and in everything.
Gurumayi Chidvilasananda
I consider this world to be like a school and our lives to be the classrooms.
Oprah Winfrey
This world is not a platform where you will hear Thalberg-piano-playing. It is a piano manufactory, where are dust and shavings and boards, and saws and files and rasps and sandpapers. The perfect instrument and the music will be hereafter.
Henry Ward Beecher
In all their jollity in this world, the wicked are but as a book fairly bound, which when it is opened is full of nothing but tragedies. So when the book of their consciences shall be once opened, there is nothing to be read but lamentations and woes.
Richard Sibbes
Perhaps nothing ud be a lesson to us if it didn’t come too late. It’s well we should feel as life’s a reckoning we can’t make twice over; there’s no real making amends in this world, any more nor you can mend a wrong subtraction by doing your addition right.
George Eliot
I do not forgive myself for being born. It is as if creeping into this world, I had profaned a mystery, betrayed some momentous pledge, committed a fault of nameless gravity.
Emile M. Cioran
If there is any justice in this world, to be a White Sox fan frees a man from any other form of penance.
Bill Veeck
I’m depressed! I’m completely depressed! I am firmly convinced that there is no one in this world who really likes me!” “So what else is new?
Charles M. Schulz
Witnessing the pain of others is the very least you can do in this world. Its how you know that when your own turn comes, someone will be there with you.
Alix Ohlin
Just me and my nuts, that’s all I got in this world.
Ludacris
As God can send a nation or people no greater blessing than to give them faithful, sincere and upright ministers, so the greatest curse that God can possibly send upon a people in this world is to give them over to blind, unregenerate, carnal, lukewarm and unskilled guides.
George Whitefield
There are two kinds of people in this world: Michael Jackson fans and losers.
Seth Green
There is a world which poets cannot seem to enter. It is the world everybody else lives in. And the only thing poets seem to have in common is their yearning to enter this world.
Mary Ruefle
Maui is a beautiful island. It’s really the site of an ancient civilization that we’ve forgotten about, a civilization that existed millions of years ago. When their time came, they left this world and another race was born, the race of human beings.
Frederick Lenz
Thank God for giving you this world as a moral gymnasium to help your development, but never imagine you can help the world.
Swami Vivekananda
There are no books in this world that everybody must read, but only books that a person must read at a certain time in a given place under given circumstances and at a given period of his life.
Lin Yutang
Our gifts to this world, and this realm’s gifts to us can come in many ways, often as we least expect them but they come especially when we are open to give, open to receive.
Jasmuheen
One of the saddest lines in the world is, ‘Oh come now – be realistic.’ The best parts of this world were not fashioned by those who were realistic. They were fashioned by those who dared to look hard at their wishes and gave them horses to ride.
Richard Nelson Bolles
Do you know what astonished me the most in this world? The inability of force to create anything.
Napoleon Bonaparte
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Aldous Huxley
You are something new in this world. Never before, since the beginning of time, has there ever been anybody exactly like you; and never again throughout all the ages to come will there ever be anybody exactly like you again.

Eugene Delacroix
In this world everything changes except good deeds and bad deeds; these follow you as the shadow follows the body.
Bhikkhu Bodhi
Pointing to another world will never stop vice among us; shedding light over this world can alone help us.
Walt Whitman
I cook a little bit. I make a Hungarian dish called chicken paprikash that’s out of this world. I’ll give a heads-up to all of your readers that it doesn’t have to be between Thai and Mexican every night. Toss some Hungarian in every once in a while. You will not be sorry. Good, solid peasant food.
Adam Carolla
A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.
Laozi
There are Millions of people in this world. Then why are you born? The reason is, Allah is expecting something from you, which is not possible by Millions.

One can live in this world on soothsaying but not on truth saying.
Georg C. Lichtenberg
No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate, and love is now.
Leo Buscaglia
I certainly thought of who [Tony from “I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore”] was. He was so different from anyone I’ve played. And it was so important for me and Macon [Blair] – this was on the page too – to not make a caricature. There’s a version of Tony that I think could be heightened.
Elijah Wood
Honestly, I’m happiest when I’m with my best friend and we’re just laughing about life and times, there is nothing greater than friendship in this world. And that kind of sort of mutual acceptance ; to feel known and understood by people and to feel like you know and understand them back is all you can ask for.
Tom Hiddleston
If you believe in justice, surely you believe in the hereafter, because this world is not just.
Nouman Ali Khan
Anything worth doing in this world is incredibly difficult to do.
Jon Foreman
The things of this world take up too much of my time, of which indeed I have too little left, to undertake anything like a reformation in religion.
Benjamin Franklin
When a fellow’s got what he set out for in this world, he should go off into the woods for a few weeks now and then to make sure that he’s still a man, and not a plug-hat and a frock-coat and a wad of bills.
George Horace Lorimer
Christianity’s goal is not escape from this world. It loves this world and seeks to change it for the better.
Marcus Borg
Nothing in this world is so good as usefulness. It binds your fellow-creatures to you, and you to them; it tends to the improvement of your own character; and it gives you a real importance in society, much beyond what any artificial station can bestow.
Sir Benjamin Collins Brodie, 1st Baronet
Death to a good man is his release from the imprisonment of this world, and his departure to the enjoyments of another world.
Matthew Henry
In the past people would say, “I can only do this world-class snowboarding if I have a helicopter.” Actually, if you’re committed to it, willing to put a bunch of energy into it, then you can do it under your own power.
Jeremy Jones
Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world. Risk being seen in all of your glory.
Jim Carrey
…of all the kinds of decay in this world, decadent purity is the most malignant.

Conduct yourself in this world as if you are here to stay forever, and yet prepare for eternity as if you are to die tomorrow.
Muhammad
A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world.
Joseph Addison
Nothing in this world is to be feared… only understood.
Marie Curie
If a powerful and benevolent spirit has shaped the destiny of this world, we can better discover that destiny from the words that have gathered up the heart’s desire of the world, than from historical records, or from speculation, wherein the heart withers.
William Butler Yeats
A high regard for the things of this world always signals a lowering regard for God.
Beth Moore
Follow the way of virtue. Follow the way joyfully through this world and on beyond.

In matters of religion and matrimony I never give any advice; because I will not have anybody’s torments in this world or the next laid to my charge.
Lord Chesterfield
The only wealth in this world is children, more than all the money, power on earth.
Mario Puzo
Man is a real man, and can live and act manfully in this world, not in the strength of opinions, not according to what he thinks, but according to what he is .
James Anthony Froude
Do the best you can. And remember that the greatest asset you have in this world is those children who you’ve brought into the world, and for whose nurture and care you’re responsible.
Gordon B. Hinckley
I met Jon Lovett, who was just coming off of three years of being a presidential speech writer and had just arrived here to be a comedy writer in Hollywood. I thought he was super green, in terms of this world, but he knows so much about the world that we’re attempting to write about.
Josh Gad
If this world is wearing thin
And you’re thinking of escape
I’ll go anywhere with you
Just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone
Don’t think I’ll understand
Stay with me, stay with me.
Siobhan Fahey
This World is not Conclusion. A Sequel stands beyond- Invisible, as Music- But positive, as Sound.
Emily Dickinson
There are two kinds of cryptography in this world: cryptography that will stop your kid sister from reading your files, and cryptography that will stop major governments from reading your files.
Bruce Schneier
The God who is worthy to be known and served for who He is, is Himself the answer to this world’s longings. And those who know Him best are best equipped to serve Him. He is their message. If we have discovered the glory of God in the face of Christ, we must not hold back. The God of glory must be made known.
Tom Wells
If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.
Mahatma Gandhi
In spiritual things, this world is all wintertime so long as the Saviour is away.
Robert Murray M’Cheyne
There is so much in this world to be skeptical about if you want to be a skeptical a**hole. I’m kind of a skeptical a**hole. But not about vaccines, that’s just not one of them.
Greg Graffin
If God hath made this world so fair,
Where sin and death abound,
How beautiful beyond compare
Will paradise be found!
James Montgomery
Right and wrong are concepts that only have meaning in this world, so by sorting existence on those characteristics, we are defining ourselves to exist only in this world.
Frederick Lenz
You’re mistaken, Father. You were in paradise, but you didn’t recognize it. It’s the same with most people in this world; they seek suffering in the most joyous of places because they think they are unworthy of happiness.
Paulo Coelho
All that this world needs is a good cleansing of the heart of all the inhibitions of the past. And laughter and tears can do both. Tears will take out all the agony that is hidden inside you and laughter will take all that is preventing your ecstasy. Once you have learned the art you will be immensely surprised.
Rajneesh
One who knew how to appropriate the true value of this world would be the poorest man in it. The poor rich man! all he has is whathe has bought.
Henry David Thoreau
Next to being one in worshipping God there is nothing in this world upon which the Church should be more united that in upholding and defending the Constitution of the United States
David O. McKay

I truly believe that if we keep telling the Christmas story, singing the Christmas songs, and living the Christmas spirit, we can bring joy and happiness and peace to this world.
Norman Vincent Peale
Hate is too great a burden to bear.
Coretta Scott King
Heroism is not fighting some big battle. It is not standing up to some fearsome foe … Heroism is every day getting up with a mission to show this world that you are going to light it up with your spirit, to make the best out of yourself.
Cory Booker
Very old people are the real victors of this world! And the bitterish beauty in their faces is the most valuable beauty of the earth!

Because we love something else more than this world, we love even this world more than those who know no other.
C. S. Lewis
You are always born under the wrong sign, and to live in this world properly you have to rewrite your own horoscope day by day.
Umberto Eco
If there is in this world a well-attested account, it is that of vampires. Nothing is lacking: official reports, affidavits of well-known people, of surgeons, of priests, of magistrates; the judicial proof is most complete. And with all that, who is there who believes in vampires?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There’s three things in this world that you need: Respect for all kinds of life, a nice bowel movement on a regular basis, and a navy blazer.
Robin Williams
Love deems this world worth rescuing.
Philip Yancey
I have no other wish in this world but to find light and joy and peace through Hinduism.
Mahatma Gandhi
Justice is not always done in this world; we see that everyday. But on the Last Day it will be done for all to see. And no one will be able to complain by saying, “This isn’t fair.”
D. A. Carson
You have endless energy only when you are working for the good of the whole – you have to stop working for your little selfish interests. That’s the secret of it. In this world you are given as you give.
Peace Pilgrim
In this world the only opinion that holds court is prejudice.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
I’m sure sex wouldn’t be so rewarding as this World Cup. It’s not that sex isn’t good but the World Cup is every four years and sex is not.
Ronaldo
Death is the king of this world: ‘Tis his park where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain are music for his banquet.
George Eliot
Embrace life and all that God gives you-but never let it contain you. This world is too small to contain you.
Yasmin Mogahed
Who designed this world we live in?
Midge Ure
I couldn’t help but say to [Mr. Gorbachev], just think how easy his task and mine might be in these meetings that we held if suddenly there was a threat to this world from another planet. [We’d] find out once and for all that we really are all human beings here on this earth together.
Ronald Reagan
The odd thing in this world is that an eager-beaver type, with no original ideas, who mimes those in authority above him right to the last twist of necktie and scrape of chin, always gets noticed. Gets selected. Rises.
Philip K. Dick
I believe that if we have lived our lives fully and well, and have accomplished, at least in part, the things we were put here to do, we will be prepared – mentally, physically and spiritually – for our separation from this world.
Loretta Young
The old Atlantean sciences from the tribe of enlightenment, of which there are only a few remnants and chards left in this world, were medicine, law, computers, and the performing arts.
Frederick Lenz
I came alone in this world, I have walked alone in the valley of the shadow of death, and I shall quit alone when the time comes.
Mahatma Gandhi
When you are young in this world, you believe that the class of deductive truths about social matters is larger than it turns out to be. […] I have discovered, to my infinite regret, that most of the serious debates over the basic principles of any political order have an irreducible empirical content.
Richard Allen Epstein
All the ways of this world are as fickle and unstable as a sudden storm at sea.
Venerable Bede
The only catalogue of this world’s goods that really counts is that which we keep in the silence of the mind.

John Irving
In all this world, I pray thee, who Is virtuous, heroic, true?
Valmiki
I think college is an absolute. In this world you have to learn how to learn and get in the habit of always wanting to learn. Some kids have that out of high school and may be able to do the college equivalent of home schooling. Most kids can’t. So I highly recommend going to college.
Mark Cuban
What a ready passport wealth gives its possessor to the good opinions of this world!
Sarah Josepha Hale
Through the right people focusing on the right things, we can, in time, get on top of a lot if not most of the problems of this world. And that’s what a number of us are trying to do.
Richard Branson
Every person born in this world represents something new, something that never existed before, something original and unique.
Martin Buber
After directing movies, I respect any director in this world, because making a movie as a director is tons and tons of work.
Jordi Molla
There is no such thing as absolute value in this world.
You can only estimate what a thing is worth to you.
Charles Dudley Warner
I simply think that there are things in this world that are relics. We have unsettling remnants of Atlantis. They have found things off Bermuda, great walls and things of that sort. This seems to indicate that there were races and cultures that went before us. And to me, that’s an unsettling idea.
Stephen King
The reason why I take my life is because I want to go to my wife and boy. My usefulness in this world is at an end. I can not be satisfied in any business and can not be without their companionship.
Alex Campbell
In this world, I call the shots and I think I know best.
Mariah Carey
He who grown aged in this world of woe, In deeds, not years, piercing the depths of life, So that no wonder waits him.

When has religion ever been unifying? Religion has introduced many wars in this world, enough bloodshed and violence.

Catholics can in no way convince themselves that so enormous and unjust an in equality in the distribution of this world’s goods truly conforms to the designs of the all-wise Creator.
Pope Pius XI
It’s an honour to have such a wonderful international cast on board for this world famous murder mystery. Writer Stewart Harcourt has created an exquisite script. His attention to detail is impeccable.
David Suchet
As long as man labors for a physical existence, though an act of necessity almost, he is yet natural; it is life, though that of this world, for which he instinctively works.
Jones Very
Everything gets blamed on the Clintons, every single thing in this world. I think Bill Clinton shot JFK, too.
Charles Barkley
The switch that I’d like to throw on is the one that says, “Look, you’re a human being whose mind is every bit as active as anybody else’s. Your experiences are just as real.” For that matter, even if they’re even if they’re crazy, they’re valid. They occurred in this world so they’re valid topics for literature.
George Saunders
Nothing is impossible in this world. Firm determination, it is said, can move heaven and earth. Things appear far beyond one’s power, because one cannot set his heart on any arduous project due to want of strong will.
Yamamoto Tsunetomo
I have indeed – praise be to God – attained my desire in this world, which was to travel through the earth, and i have attained in this respect what no other person has attained to my knowledge.
Ibn Battuta
Any man who is attached to things of this world is one who lives in ignorance and is being consumed by the snakes of his own passions
Black Elk
You really don’t need leverage in this world much. If you’re smart, you’re going to make a lot of money without borrowing. I’ve never borrowed a significant amount of money in my life. Never. Never will. I’ve got no interest in it.
Warren Buffett
I am come, young ladies, in a very moralizing strain, to observe that our pleasures of this world are always to be for, and that we often purchase them at a great disadvantage, giving readi-monied actual happiness for a draft on the future, that may not be honoured.
Jane Austen
There must be something beyond man in this world. Even on attaining to his highest possibilities, he is like a bird beating against his cage. There is something beyond, O deathless like a sea-shell, moaning for the bosom of the ocean to which you belong!
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
… in this impersonal world of the nine-digit zip code, credit cards, and numbered bank accounts, in this world of no marriage, late marriage, and remarriage, the operative word in office relationships is ‘family.
Lois Wyse
To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to the end, and God is the end.
Ramakrishna
Misunderstandings and neglect create more confusion in this world than trickery and malice. At any rate, the last two are certainly much less frequent.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I show people the techniques for gaining knowledge, and this inspires them in their search for truth, freedom and happiness. I also try to show people that truth exists as much in this world as it does in any other world.
Frederick Lenz
Sometimes I think we’re on this world for three reasons: to be useful, to tell each other stories and to collect stuff. It’s the only explanation for eBay. We love to collect stuff, and at least if we’re collecting stuff in cyberspace we’re not deforesting the Sierra Nevada.
Paul Saffo
We’re all travelers in this world. From the sweet grass to the packing house. Birth ’til death. We travel between the eternities.
Robert Duvall
I felt like I didn’t have [any] pizzazz, and a lot of girls say I’m out of this world, so I was like I guess I’m from Mars.
Bruno Mars
The kaleidoscope has been shaken. The pieces are in flux. Soon they will settle again. Before they do, let us re-order this world around us.
Tony Blair
I am trying to prevent a bloodbath. Is that clear enough for you? I’m trying to prevent a civil war that could kill half the people in this world.
Larry Niven
The consumerist culture insists that swearing eternal loyalty to anything and anybody is imprudent, since in this world new glittering opportunities crop up daily.
Zygmunt Bauman
I know there is no straight road No straight road in this world Only a giant labyrinth Of intersecting crossroads
Federico Garcia Lorca
A lot of sad things have happened to my friends’ children, people you knew as babies. They’ve been killed or become crazy or all kinds of tragic things. There are some people whose children haven’t talked to them in fifteen years. There’s all kind of meshugaas in this world.
Grace Paley
How I exist in this world is that you’re in or you’re out. You are family or you are the enemy.
Meghan McCain
I love you more than anything in this world. I don’t expect that will last.
Elvis Costello
You can enjoy the beauties of this world, as long as you remember this world doesn’t exist.
Frederick Lenz
We are puzzled and bewildered whenever we see suffering in this world because we have become accustomed to the mercy and the long-suffering of God. Amazing grace is no longer amazing to us.
R. C. Sproul
And the more pity that great folk should have count’nance in this world to drown or hang themselves more than their even-Christen.
William Shakespeare
Everything in this world will pass away. In eternity only Love will remain.
Pope Benedict XVI
You may exist in this world–but I exist too and I will not yield
Matthew Quick
The problems with this world cannot possibly be solved by sceptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need people who can dream of things that never were.
John F. Kennedy
I think one of the most pervasive evils in this world is greed and acquiring money for money’s sake. Once you have six houses and a plane, it’s just about a number. It’s never been anything I understood.
Kevin Bacon
Acting is my calling. It is one of the things I was meant to do in this world, along with being a mother.
Michael Hyatt
Nothing is ever finished and done with in this world. You may think a seed was finished and done with when it falls like a dead thing into the earth; but when it puts forth leaves and flowers next spring you see your mistake.
Elizabeth Goudge
This world in which we live needs beauty in order not to sink into despair. It is beauty, like truth, which brings joy to the heart of man and is that precious fruit which resists the year and tear of time, which unites generations and makes them share things in admiration.
Pope Paul VI
We do not know either unalloyed happiness or unmitigated misfortune. Everything in this world is a tangled yarn; we taste nothing in its purity; we do not remain two moments in the same state. Our affections as well as bodies, are in a perpetual flux.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
So, take what’s inside you and make big, bold choices and for those who can’t speak for themselves, use bold voices and make friends and love well, bring art to this place and make the world better for the whole human race.
Jamie Lee Curtis
Morandi suggests we are all single in this world, hoping for independent repose. But our best opportunity for a community of excellence depends upon a collection of enlightened individuals.
Wayne Thiebaud
This world is a comedy, not Life.
Horace Walpole
There are only two kinds of people in this world. The realists and the dreamers. The realists know where they are going and the dreamers have already been there.
Robert Orben
One man practicing kindness in the wilderness is worth all the temples this world pulls.
Jack Kerouac
Before that I was a scientist. I did research in population biology. And that’s what I always go back to, it helps me to remember that people are not the end of the world, although we may be when it comes to it. We’re just one species among millions in this world.
Barbara Kingsolver
I thought as much. Miss Murray, though I am a beast, do not think that I am stupid. I know that I am hideous and hateful. I am not loved, nor ever hope to be. Nor am I fool enough to think that what I feel for you is love. But in this world, alone, I do not hate you. And alone in this world, you do not hate me.
Alan Moore
I learned that there is good in this world, if you look hard enough for it. I learned that not everyone is disappointing, including me, and that a 1,257 bump in the ground can feel higher than a bell tower if you’re standing next to the right person.
Jennifer Niven
Outward as well as inward morality helps to form the idea of a true Christian freedom. We are right to lay stress on inwardness, but in this world there is no inwardness without an outward expression.
Meister Eckhart
There are three things in this world that will survive a nuclear explosion: Twinkies, cockroaches and Dean Ambroses.
Dean Ambrose
For a man needs only to be turned around once with his eyes shut in this world to be lost…Not ’til we are lost do we begin to find ourselves.
Henry David Thoreau
If that is what this world is, what humans are… There is no future. Understanding and faith… If you take those away, all that’s left is fear. I can’t accept immoral methods or giving up.
Masashi Kishimoto
To leave this world a better person, and for me to not be the only one who knows it.
Gavin DeGraw
This world’s anguish is no different from the love we insist on holding back.
Aberjhani
In this world, the optimists have it, not because they are always right, but because they are positive. Even when they are wrong they are positive, and that is the way of achievement, correction, improvement, and success. Educated, eye-open optimism pays.
David Landes
Will you be a spectator or a citizen? To make a difference in this world, you must be involved.
George W. Bush
By common consent of all the nations and all the ages the most valuable thing in this world is the homage of men, whether deserved or undeserved.
Mark Twain
One could say that everybody in this world has a spiritual teacher. For most people, their losses and disasters represent the teacher; their suffering is the teacher.
Eckhart Tolle
The things of this world reveal their essential absurdity when they are put in the Venetian context. In the unreal realm of the canals, as in a Swiftian Lilliput, the real world, with its contrivances, appears as a vast folly.
Mary McCarthy
You have been a prisoner of a little pond I am the ocean and its turbulent flood Come merge with me leave this world of ignorance
Rumi
I’m hungry for knowledge. The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter. That’s what this world is about. You look at someone like Gandhi, and he glowed. Martin Luther King glowed. Muhammad Ali glows. I think that’s from being bright all the time, and trying to be brighter.
Jay-Z
Those you love will not drown or burn. They will fly away.’ …’Now we both have people we love who are like birds. They have flown far from anything in this world that can hurt them. They’re flying away still.
Alice Hoffman
There is no way to be truly great in this world. We are all impaled on the crook of conditioning.
James Dean
This world is full of remedies. But you have no remedy until God opens a window for you. You may not be aware of that remedy just now. In the hour of need it will be made clear to you. The Prophet said God made a remedy for every pain.
Rumi
To be good or bad doesn’t count: life out in this world doesn’t depend on that. It depends on a relation of forces based on violence. And survival is violence. You’ll wear leather shoes because someone has killed a cow and skinned it to make leather.
Oriana Fallaci
Perhaps we cannot prevent this world from being a world in which children are tortured. But we can reduce the number of tortured children.
Albert Camus
Alack, this world
Is full of change, change, change–nothing but change!
Dinah Maria Murlock Craik
If you think you can’t, you’re right.
Carol Bartz
Look around and you will see this world is full of creeps like me.
Lyle Lovett
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
R. Buckminster Fuller
All this world’s noise appears to me a dull, ill-acted comedy!
Abraham Cowley
If Heaven is up, I’m going. I know I’m right in my heart. This world is not my home. This life will soon be gone, and, one day, I’ll spread my wings, as an angel, and fly away.
Aaron Dontez Yates
In view of this strong Bible evidence concerning the Times of the Gentiles, we consider it an established truth that the final end of the kingdoms of this world, and the full establishment of the kingdom of God, will be accomplished by the end of A.D. 1914.
Charles Taze Russell
I’ve seen more people fail because of liquor and leverage — leverage being borrowed money. You really don’t need leverage in this world much. If you’re smart, you’re going to make a lot of money without borrowing.
Warren Buffett
It turns out that justices are also God’s children; and being of this world, their makeup consists of actual flesh and blood. They are no more noble or virtuous than the rest of us, and in some cases less so, as they suffer from the usual human imperfections and frailties. And the Court’s history proves it.
Mark Levin
I need nothing in this world in order to be happy. I only need to see Jesus in heaven, Whom I now see and adore on the altar with the eyes of faith.
Dominic Savio
In this world, the greatest rewards of success, wealth and happiness are usually obtained not through the exercise of special powers such a genius or intellect but through one’s energetic use of simple means and ordinary qualities.
Og Mandino
The hour of justice does not strike On the dials of this world.
Maurice Maeterlinck
Patience and perserverance will accomplish more in this world than a brilliant dash. Remember that when something goes wrong.
Dale Carnegie
In the language of poetry, where every word is weighed, nothing is usual or normal. Not a single stone and not a single cloud above it. Not a single day and not a single night after it. And above all, not a single existence, not anyone’s existence in this world.
Wislawa Szymborska
But all this world is like a tale we hear – Men’s evil, and their glory, disappear.
Abolqasem Ferdowsi
School doesn’t teach you the three most important things in the world: how to have relationships, how to raise children and, most importantly, why on earth you’d want to be in this world in the first place.
Clive Stafford Smith
This world is not a place where people can be together forever.
Junaid Jamshed
There are two kinds of people in this world, and I am one of them.
Dave Barry
The greatest and noblest pleasure we have in this world is to discover new truths, and the next is to shake off old prejudices… A man who seeks truth and loves it must be reckoned precious to any human society.
Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor
When I create music, it is a reflection of my soul, my experiences in life and my relationships with other people and cultures. Psychology, and understanding who we are as people in this world, is present in almost every creative thought I have.
Yanni
As I turned away, I saw Holmes, with his back against a rock and his arms folded, gazing down at the rush of the waters. It was the last that I was ever destined to see of him in this world. – Watson.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I can safely say that I had an incredibly difficult and trying past growing up and trying to be an artist and standing up as who I am in this world.
Matt Bomer
Perhaps we think that we won’t find another human being inside that person. Perhaps we think that there are some people in this world who I can’t ever communicate with, and so I’ll just give up before I try. And how sad it is to think that we would give up on any other creature who’s just like us.
Fred Rogers
Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.
C. S. Lewis
I challenge anyone to tell me that there isn’t evil in this world. From the days of Cain and Abel we know all too well there will always be evil. But that evil shouldn’t take away our freedoms. In fact, the only way to defeat evil is by taking advantage of our freedoms.
Taya Kyle
I just want to leave this world with a massive catalog of songs.
Nick Cave
Most of all, we must never be deceived. We must never allow ourselves to think that anything in this world succeeds, fails, is given, taken, done, or undone without Allah. It is only by our connection to our Creator that we rise or fall in life, in our relationship with our world—and with all of humanity.
Yasmin Mogahed
…there were certain chapters when I stopped writing, saw the domestic situation I was in and thought, “I don’t want to face this world, let’s get back to the hellish one I’m imagining.
Alasdair Gray
Well, what was called the blessed hope of the Bible is that one day Jesus Christ would come back again, start a whole new era, that this world order that we know it would change into something that would be wonderful that we’d call the millennium.
Pat Robertson
God limits the happiness and pleasure we have now precisely so we might not become attached to this world or dependent upon it or fearful of leaving it (dying), as well as to stir in our hearts a longing and yearning and holy anticipation for what is yet to come.
Sam Storms
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure.
Jawaharlal Nehru
For a long time I’ve walked through this world with the desire, like in Rear Window, to look into other people’s lives because I know that there is a way in which I am the same as so many of the strangers that I see.
Will Oldham
There are two unpardonable sins in this world — success and failure.
George Horace Lorimer
Over the years they both reached the same wise conclusion by different paths: it was not possible to live together in any other way, or love in any other way, and nothing in this world was more difficult than love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The children of this world and the adults of this world are in entirely separate boats and only drift near each other when we need a ride from someone or when someone needs us to wash our hands.
Daniel Handler
Let nature do the freezing and frightening and isolating in this world. let men work and love and fight it off.
Jack Kerouac
No one has been a greater advocate for the power of love in this world than I; both in my life and in my music.
Stevie Wonder
The more often we see the things around us – even the beautiful and wonderful things – the more they become invisible to us. That is why we often take for granted the beauty of this world: the flowers, the trees, the birds, the clouds – even those we love. Because we see things so often, we see them less and less.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
We go through transformations when we are dealing with this world (spirit world). Go out and find whatever makes your spirit at peace.
Kofi Awoonor
Few other griefs amid the ill chances of this world have more bitterness and shame for a man’s heart than to behold the love of a lady so fair and brave that cannot be returned.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Motherhood is the most challenging as well as the utmost satisfying vocation in this world.
Nita Ambani
This world is nothing except it tend to another.
George Herbert
The people who were trying to make this world worse are not taking the day off. Why should I?
Bob Marley
It could be anything, give a homeless guy a sandwich, help an old lady across the street like anything to make this world a better place. If everybody just did one good thing for another person like a selfless good deed just think about how much a better place this would be.
Frank Iero
The fundamental factor of self-deception is this constant desire to be something in this world and in the world hereafter.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
We need to believe I think in justice. We need to run our lives as if justice existed… If we abandon a belief that justice will eventually be done, we make this world much more difficult for ourselves.
Alexander McCall Smith
And even if this world burns up hidden harps will still play here.
Rumi
A pleasant letter I hold to be the pleasantest thing that this world has to give.
Anthony Trollope
This world is a great sculptor’s shop. We are the statues and there is a rumor going round the shop that some of us are some day going to come to life.
C. S. Lewis
We can get the new world we want, if we want it enough to abandon our prejudices, every day, everywhere. We can build this world if we practice now what we said we were fighting for.
Gwen Bristow
Truth is a pain which will not stop. And the truth of this world is to die. You must choose: either dying or lying. Personally, I have never been able to kill myself
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Believe in yourself and know that you can do anything in this world that you want to do if you want to do it badly enough and you are willing to travel the road. Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe and enthusiastically act upon must inevitably come to pass.
Mary Kay Ash
The water here in Cardiff is much easier than in London, so for us it is more relaxing paddling here. This race is for us a continuation of our training, we will compete in only this World cup. We don’t want to travel too much before the Olympic Games and we want to focus on the Games.
Pavol Hochschorner
Nothing that comes easy in this world is worth a damn.
Woody Hayes
In your own bosom you bear your heaven and earth,
And all you behold, though it appears without,
It is within, in your imagination,
Of which this world of mortality is but a shadow.
William Blake
There is an army of waiters in this world.
Henry Ward Beecher

Jawaharlal Nehru
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals the power of your intense fragility
e. e. cummings
She broke my heart. I didn’t like that much. But that was the price. In this world, you get what you pay for.
Kurt Vonnegut
Nothing’s greater in life to see somebody who doesn’t have start to value who they are and, as soon as they feel valued, they can change this world too.
Suze Orman
I thought being on stage was an amazing feeling, but there is nothing that can top watching my wife bring our son into this world.
Luke Bryan
The best enjoyment is half disappointment to what we intend or would have in this world.
Gamaliel Bailey
The basic skill of an actor is, in fact, empathy, and that’s maybe not a skill, it’s a disposition. I am an assistant storyteller. I enjoy feeling useful to a team effort. It’s my way of finding a use for myself, a utility in this world.
Harrison Ford
Keeping demons from this world is your mandate, a mandate from heaven. And a mandate from heaven isn’t something you can just ignore.
Cassandra Clare
All that now seems to stand between Nigel and the prospect of the world crown is the unfortunate fact that fate brought him into this world only two years after Kasparov.
Garry Kasparov
The only true method of action in this world is to be in it, but not of it.
Sophie Swetchine
The human comedy does not attract me enough. I am not entirely of this world. I am from elsewhere, and it is worth finding this elsewhere beyond the walls…but where is it?
Eugene Ionesco
Each child brings so much joy and hope into the world, and that is reason enough for being here. As you grow older, you will contribute something else to this world, and only you can discover what that is.
Sharon Creech
People have to snatch at happiness when they can, in this world. It is always easier to lose than to find.
Willa Cather
You can do anything in this world if you are prepared to take the consequences.
W. Somerset Maugham
Things don’t turn up in this world until somebody turns them up.
James A. Garfield
Thinking of the stars night after night I begin to realize ‘The stars are words’ and all the innumerable worlds in the Milky Way are words, and so is this world too. And I realize that no matter where I am, whether in a little room full of thought, or in this endless universe of stars and mountains, it’s all in my mind.
Jack Kerouac
I’ll be searching for those moments of always within never. Beauty, in this world.” – Paloma
Muriel Barbery
You have a choice in this world, I believe, about how to tell sad stories, and we made the funny choice.
John Green
You deserve the place you have in this world. Do not let the eating disorder take that from you.
Rae Smith
A mystic is someone who aches for, continually searches for, direct contact with God; contact not mediated through the emotions or intellect, but a full melding of spirit and will, believing that this is not only possible but is the entire point of life in this world.
Doug Ferguson
I speculate that this is the best of all possible worlds, for philosophy is the best of humanity, and this world is the best philosophically.
Kedar Joshi
As a man develops, he places a greater value upon his own rights. Liberty becomes a grander and diviner thing. As he values his own rights he begins to value the rights of others. And when all men give to all others all the rights they claim for themselves, this world will be civilized.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Save for the wild force of Nature, nothing moves in this world that is not Greek in its origin.
Lord Acton
In this world
we walk on the roof of hell
gazing at flowers

The holy have done more damage to this world than the devil ever could.

Katherine Mansfield
Whatever we have of this world in our hands, our care must be to keep it out of our hearts, lest it come between us and Christ.
Matthew Henry
We can’t allow ouselves to be depresses or discouraged. There are people who depend on us, things to accomplish. We only have a little bit of time in this world before death swallows us up.
Frederick Lenz
Let us reconcile ourselves to the mysterious rhythm of our destinies, such as they must be in this world of space and time.
Winston Churchill
This world is filled with things that will never make sense. Trying to make so much sense of them will only result in one thing: Spending the rest of your life trying to remember what you were like before any of it mattered.
Matthew Good
The wise men understood that this natural world is only an image and a copy of paradise. The existence of this world is simply a guarantee that there exists a world that is perfect. God created the world so that, through its visible objects, men could understand his spiritual teachings and the marvels of his wisdom.
Paulo Coelho
People who are enlightened in previous lifetimes have a certain degree of difficulty in regaining their enlightenment. Sometimes it comes in childhood. Sometimes it takes many years to reintegrate the personality structure that they gained when they first entered into this world.
Frederick Lenz
I see people’s need to dream, people’s need to escape – you see it! That’s why people come to comedy shows, that’s why they come to your movies … We’re so needed in this world. Not as much as medicine , but to dream for a while.
David Copperfield
Every man who has a calling to minister to the inhabitants of the world was ordained to that very purpose in the Grand Council of heaven before this world was. I suppose I was ordained to this very office in that Grand Council.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
End? No, the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I love America more than any other country in the world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.
James A. Baldwin
This world is made out of sugar. It can crumble so easily but don’t be afraid to stick your tongue out and taste it.
Sarah Kay
Paul observed, We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out (1 Timothy 6:7). He was referring to material things, wealth. However, we will take our knowledge and experience and training from this life with us into the next life.
David Berg
Oh what a happy soul am I although I cannot see, I am resolved that in this world contented I shall be. How many blessings I enjoy that other people don’t. To weep and sigh, because I’m blind? I cannot and I won’t.
Fanny Crosby
Most people, if they had really learned to look into their own hearts, would know that they do want, and want acutely, something that cannot be had in this world. There are all sorts of things in this world that offer to give it to you, but they never quite keep their promise.
C. S. Lewis
The more horrible this world (as today, for instance), the more abstract our art, whereas a happy world brings forth an art of the here and now.
Paul Klee
I do my thing and you do your thing. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, And you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it’s beautiful. If not, it can’t be helped.
Frederick Salomon Perls
There is nothing new in this world other than the history that you don’t know yet.
Julian Assange

Is it possible to live in this world without the operation of will?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I can offer you only: this world like a knife
John Berryman
The fact that there is always a positive side to life is the one thing that gives me a lot of happiness. This world is not perfect. There are problems. But things like happiness and unhappiness are relative. Realizing this gives you hope.
Dalai Lama
Since we live in this world, we have to do our best for this world.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Everyone who wants to know what will happen ought to examine what has happened: everything in this world in any epoch has their replicas in antiquity.
Niccolo Machiavelli
This life is a dance, not a battle. We are all part of this world, not masters of it.
Kate Constable
In this world, where we find ourselves, we need compassion more than anything, I think, or we are all alone.
Guy Gavriel Kay
It’s wrong – everyone’s concentrating on the wrong thing. There’s 130 million people in crisis in this world at the moment, in humanitarian crisis, and most of them are women, more than half of them are women. So can we all stop slinging mud at each other about definition?
Natalie Dormer
Renunciation is not getting rid of the things of this world, but accepting that they pass away.
Robert Baker Aitken
I no longer take pleasure in perishable food or in the delights of this world. I want only God’s bread, which is the Flesh of Jesus Christ, formed of the seed of David, and for drink I crave His Blood which is love that cannot perish.
Ignatius of Antioch
We can lead this world and make it safer and more secure for our children and our grandchildren, for generations to come.
Barack Obama
What is the appropriate behavior for a man or a woman in the midst of this world, where each person is clinging to his piece of debris? What’s the proper salutation between people as they pass each other in this flood?
Gautama Buddha
Many companies are disappointing the citizens of this world by manipulating labor rates, putting horse meat instead of beef out there, or thinking it’s totally acceptable to make a T-shirt from a collapsing factory. Increasingly, people don’t want to work for these companies, and consumers don’t want to buy from them.
Paul Polman
Be patient, because the weaknesses of the body are given to us in this world by God for the salvation of the soul. So they are of great merit when they are borne patiently.
Francis of Assisi
We do need to confront evil in this world, but we do need to work with the other nation.
Martin O’Malley
Life is so impermanent that it’s not about somebody else or things around me, it’s about knowing you are completely alone in this world and being content inside.
K. D. Lang
For there is surely nothing more beautiful in this world than the sight of a lone man facing single-handedly a half a ton of angry pot roast!
Tom Lehrer
If the spiritual universe and the way to it were shown, No one would remain in this world for a single moment.
Rumi
Banks wont even loan each other money, everybody’s going broke, and here we are inside here, these people are going to be out on the street selling apples and pencils and they’re still going to be buying paintings for this money, so I don’t know what’s going on in this world.
Dennis Hopper
It wouldn’t bring her back. I know. Trust me, I do. And I would have done far worse, he says, if I’d thought there was a way to bring Regina back. I would have traded places. I would have sold souls. I would have torn this world apart. I would have done anything, broken any rule, just to bring her back.
V. E. Schwab
Some people get where they hope to in this world. Most of us don’t.
James Agee
I would like to leave this world and never return. I severed my ear, but how I wish that I had severed my heart. I shall never amount to anything.
Vincent Van Gogh
And maybe there’s no peace in this world, for us or for anyone else, I don’t know. But I do know that, as long as we live, we must remain true to ourselves.
Spartacus
If you want to achieve anything in this world, you have to get used to the idea that not everyone will like you.
Simon Sinek
Dad, I may not be the best, but I come to believe that I got it in me to be somebody in this world. And it’s not because I’m so different from you either. It’s because I’m the same. I mean, I can be just as hard-headed, and just as tough. I only hope I can be as good a man as you.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Not only ought fortune to be pictured on a wheel, but every thing else in this world.
George Herbert
It’s about doing something larger than yourself. It’s about serving this world, helping others.
Walter Isaacson
In eternity this world will be like Troy, I believe, and all that has passed here will be the epic of the universe, the ballad they sing in the streets.
Marilynne Robinson
I do know that there are some things that exist in this world that you just can’t prove. That could be the case with God or whoever might be up there, but I don’t follow any one religion.
Katie Melua
May the things of this world so lose their power over us that we do not in the slightest wish to be ‘worldly’; nay, we even delight in not remaining ‘in the world.’
Watchman Nee
In a certain sense you deny the existence of this world. You explain life as a state of rest, a state of rest in motion.
Franz Kafka
There is no more evil thing in this world than race prejudice, none at all. […] It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty, and abomination than any other sort of error in the world.
H. G. Wells
Music doesn’t lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.
Jimi Hendrix
Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone’s face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love?’ These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will be many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.
Henri Nouwen
Always remember that you belong to no one, and no one belongs to you. Reflect that some day you will suddenly have to leave everything in this world – so make the acquaintanceship of God now.
Lahiri Mahasaya
I travel, work, suffer my weak health, meet with a thousand difficulties, but all these are nothing, for this world is so small. To me, space is an imperceptible object, as I am accustomed to dwell in eternity.
Frances Xavier Cabrini
Individuals sometimes feel insignificant and doubt that one person can really make a difference in this world. Well, believe me, one person can.
Mary Kay Ash
What man who carries a heavenly soul in him, has not groaned to perceive, that unless he committed a sort of suicide as to the practical things of this world, he never can hope to regulate his earthly conduct by that same heavenly soul?
Herman Melville
Love is a place & through this place of love move (with brightness of peace) all places yes is a world & in this world of yes live (skillfully curled) all worlds
e. e. cummings
‘Rocket Science’ is really where I fell in love with filmmaking, I think ‘Camp’ was incredible, but it was so bizarre, and I was trying to find my footing in this world where you don’t have an audience for immediate validation.
Anna Kendrick
In this world, everyone wants to know everything about you, and I think that’s funny.
Leighton Meester
There is a great deal of trouble in this world which is not caused by people keeping their mouths shut.
Myrtle Reed
As we become purer channels for God’s light, we develop an appetite for the sweetness that is possible in this world. A miracle worker is not geared toward fighting the world that is, but toward creating the world that could be.
Marianne Williamson
You’ll find that education’s about the only thing lying around loose in this world, and that it’s about the only thing a fellow can have as much of as he’s willing to haul away. Everything else is screwed down tight and the screw-driver lost.
George Horace Lorimer
Every visible thing in this world is put in the charge of an angel.
Saint Augustine
Only Christianity and its teachings can explain the purpose and meaning of this world- and also gives the basis for right and wrong, good and evil, etc.
Ken Ham
It will be good for us in the long run, and I mean there are, you know, six and a half billion people in this world. And it’s great for 300 million to keep enjoying more and more property, but I think it’s terrific if, you know, the remainder do.
Warren Buffett
It’s hard to get into this world and hard to get out of it, and what’s in between doesn’t make much sense.
Robert Frost
If there is one thing that is constant in this world, it is the power of music.
Josh Groban
It isn’t given to us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. They will not be cured by our most efficacious drugs or slain with our sharpest swords.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
There are infinite worlds both like and unlike this world of ours. For the atoms being infinite in number… are borne on far out into space.
Epicurus
Faults of the head are punished in this world, those of the heart in another; but as most of our vices are compound, so also is their punishment.
