Spirit Quotes
Love and desire are the spirit's wings to great deeds.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I eagerly awaited visitors, but the anticipation and the extra energy of greetings caused a numbing exhaustion. As the first stories unfolded, my spirit held on to the conversation as best it could—I so wanted these connections to the outside world—but my body sank beneath waves of weakness. Still, my friends were golden threads randomly appearing in the monotonous fabric of my days. Each visit was a window that opened momentarily into the life I had once known, always falling shut before I could make my way back through. The visits were like dreams from which I awoke once more alone.
Elisabeth Tova Bailey
That holy, humble, meek, modest, retiring Form, sometimes called the Spirit of Prayer, has been dragged from the closet, and so rudely handled by some of her professed friends, that she has not only lost all her wonted loveliness, but is now stalking the street, in some places, stark mad.
Asahel Nettleton
A coach's main job is to reawaken a spirit in which the players can blend together effortlessly.
Phil Jackson
When the eyes of the flesh are shut, the eyes of the spirit are open.
Willa Cather
I presume that you are compassionate: to be without pity means to be sick in body and spirit. But one should have spirit in abundance, so as to be permitted to be compassionate! For your pity is detrimental to you and to everyone.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Our Sabbath practices reveal which Trinity we truly worship: Father, Son, and Spirit... or me, myself, and I.
Mark Hart
Crowded House
You know, that man has a spirit, that each man and woman is unique, that we have duty to promote our unalienable rights and to protect them, that we have a duty to our families and ourselves, to take care of ourselves, to contribute to charity, that we have a duty to support a just and righteous law that is stable and predictable.
Mark Levin
Many writers are neither spirit nor wine, but rather spirits- of-wine: they can catch fire, and then they give off heat.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To persons of spirit like ourselves the only happy marriage is that which is based on a firm foundation of almost incessant quarrelling.
P. G. Wodehouse
One arranges flowers as the spirit moves you; to obey some inner prompting to put this colour with that, to have brilliance here, line there, a sense of opulence in this place or sparseness in that; to suit your surroundings, your mood, the weather, the occasion. In a word, to do as you please, just as, if you could, you might paint a picture.
Constance Spry
The visual arts must communicate to the human spirit, forcing individuals to reflect on themselves and their existence beyond their own self-interest.
Dean Mitchell
