Why do we travel to remote locations? To prove our adventurous spirit or to tell stories about incredible things? We do it to be alone amongst friends and to find ourselves in a land without man. ~ George Leigh Mallory
Adventurous Spirit quotes by George Leigh Mallory
A task, any task, undertaken in an adventurous spirit acquires the merit of romance. ~ Joseph Conrad
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Joseph Conrad
Nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. ~ Jon Krakauer
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Jon Krakauer
So far as inland discovery was concerned, the adventurous spirit of the English was that of sailors who land but for a day, and their enterprise the enterprise of traders. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Henry David Thoreau
I'd like to repeat the advice that I gave you before, in that I think you really should make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

If you want to get more out of life, Ron, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty. And so, Ron, in short, get out of Salton City and hit the Road. I guarantee you will be very glad you did. But I fear that you will ignore my advice. You think that I am stubborn, but you are even more stubborn than me. You had a wonderful chance on your drive back to see one of the greatest sights on earth, the Grand Canyon, something every Amer ~ Jon Krakauer
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Jon Krakauer
This is one of the results of that adventurous spirit which is now stalking forth and raging for its own innovations. We have not only rejected AUTHORITY, but have also cast away EXPERIENCE; and often the unburthened vessel is driving to all points of the compass, and the passengers no longer know whither they are going. The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by QUOTATION. ~ Isaac D'Israeli
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Isaac D'Israeli
I was a college dropout, hitchhiking across the Midwest. That was part of the old, adventurous spirit. ~ Tom Brokaw
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Tom Brokaw
But in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. ~ Christopher McCandless
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Christopher McCandless
Quite often, the people who do leave their own nation and come to an unknown destination, like the United States, are inherently adventurous, so we've had that adventurous spirit that has embedded itself collectively in the American consciousness. ~ Jimmy Carter
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Jimmy Carter
There are some of us who are just born with a more adventurous spirit than others. ~ Lizzy Caplan
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Lizzy Caplan

Adventurous Spirit quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
Boredom is anathema to the adventurous spirit, and when mixed with hunger, the effect could be forgot toxic. ~ Jonathan Auxier
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Jonathan Auxier
Language is very tough, though, a tenacity that is backed up by a long history. However it is treated, its autonomy cannot be lost or seriously damaged, even if that treatment is rather rough. It is the inherent right of all writers to experiment with the possibilities of language in every way they can imagine - without that adventurous spirit, nothing new can ever be born. ~ Haruki Murakami
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Haruki Murakami
There's a fine line between being a sicko and an adventurous spirit. ~ Doug Stanhope
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Doug Stanhope
There is nothing more dangerous to the adventurous spirit than a secure future that can predict the same sun on every horizon because they only see the same view. ~ Shannon L. Alder

Adventurous Spirit quotes by Jon Krakauer
Every novel says to the reader: "Things are not as simple as you think." That is the novel's eternal truth, but it grows steadily harder to hear amid the din of easy, quick answers that come faster than the question and block it off. In the spirit of our time, it's either Anna or Karenin who is right, and the ancient wisdom of Cervantes, telling us about the difficulty of knowing and the elusiveness of truth, seems cumbersome and useless. ~ Milan Kundera
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Milan Kundera
The result of this one-sided patriarchal stance, demonstrable in all areas of life, is an un integrated man who is attacked by his repressed side and often enough overwhelmed by it. This transpires not only in the fate of the individual man as seduction by a "lower" anima, but equally through seduction by a compensatory ideology, for example materialism, to which "spirit" men are especially susceptible.
The man wants to remain exclusively masculine and out of fear rejects the transformative contact with a woman of equal status. Negativizing the Feminine in the patriarchate prevents the man from experiencing woman as a thou of equal but different status, and hence from coming to terms with her. The consequence of the patriarchal male's haughtiness toward women leads to the inability to make any genuine contact with the Feminine, i.e., not only in a real woman but also with the Feminine in himself, the unconscious. Whenever an integral relationship to the Feminine remains undeveloped, however, this means that, due to his fear, the male is unable to break through to his own wholeness that also embraces the Feminine. Thus the patriarchal culture's separation from the Feminine and from the unconscious becomes one of the essential causes for the crisis of fear in which the patriarchal world now finds itself. ~ Erich Neumann
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Erich Neumann
Cherish therefore the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention.1 Do not be too severe upon their errors, but reclaim them by enlightening them. - THOMAS JEFFERSON ~ Jon Meacham
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Jon Meacham
The human spirit is more powerful than any drug and THAT is what needs to be nourished: with work, play, friendship, family. THESE are the things that matter. ~ Robin Williams
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Robin Williams
For me, listening to my breath in between the lines, allows me to be in deep connection to my spirit. ~ Giancarlo Esposito
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Giancarlo Esposito
Be merry all, be merry all,
With holly dress the festive hall;
Prepare the song, the feast, the ball,
To welcome merry Christmas. ~ William Spencer
Adventurous Spirit quotes by William Spencer
I used to be a free spirit. ~ Soleil Moon Frye
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Soleil Moon Frye
reputedly consulted with the spirit of a dead Sioux Indian chief. ~ David McCullough
Adventurous Spirit quotes by David McCullough
We are spiritual beings - indestructible, immaterial and safe. ~ Donna Goddard
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Donna Goddard
The greater number of people take their opinions on trust, to avoid the trouble of exercising their own minds, and these indolent beings naturally adhere to the letter, rather than the spirit of a law, divine or human. ~ Mary Wollstonecraft
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Mary Wollstonecraft
There are two types of spirits; either light or darkness.
Only one spirit (either light or darkness) operates at a time.
Grace-divine gives power for spirit of light to exist as a sacred-self. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Tempestuous plains tell the tale,
Windswept wastes do bewail,
Haunting Spirit of the land,
Seeks the living, seeks the damned.

Horizoned edge sheared with grass,
Dark Storm Rising in the pass,
Ageless Spirit seeks the path,
To torment souls to the last.

Brooding Spirit upon the plain,
Thunderhead gathers for the rain.
Light grows dim then bolts with pain,
On dry Earth her sin is stained.

(Frightened creatures do stampede,
Into night, they do recede).

Ungodded hand on seasoned blade,
Reaps the harvest of the Age.

Released from her eternal din,
Spirit of the Age rises again.
Seeking to plunder and consume,
Those who were proud, those who presumed.

Spirits rage while storm draws nigh,
Upon burning plain and emblazoned sky.
It is said giants grapple in the Earth so deep,
To contend for souls that they might keep.

The Storm spirit now searches the high and the low,
To seek her manchild victim in the fields below.
Leaves bad wasteland to claim but a fallen man,
Denying it Heaven, crowning it, 'Son of the Damned.'

Treacherous Spirit of the far lost night,
Tramples souls down denying them light.
Storm seethes with furious hiss,
Leads men on to bottomless pit.

This most ancient of foes has come from her den,
To seek the living, to make ready those dead.
A living sa ~ Douglas M Laurent
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Douglas M Laurent
[There was] an openness not found on the East Coast and a generosity of spirit. New York was always formulating the correct ways to work and think while back here [in California] we were always eager to be surprised and engaged in new ways. ~ Eleanor Antin
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Eleanor Antin
Little of beauty has America given the world save the rude grandeur God himself stamped on her bosom; the human spirit in this new world has expressed itself in vigor and ingenuity rather than in beauty. ~ W.E.B. Du Bois
Adventurous Spirit quotes by W.E.B. Du Bois
The spirit of a nation is what counts-the look in its eyes. ~ Jean Giraudoux
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Jean Giraudoux
The Saviour comes in the strength of righteousness. Righteousness is at the bottom of all things. Righteousness is thorough; it is the very spirit of unsparing truth. ~ Phillips Brooks
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Phillips Brooks
But still, it was not the desire to 'write' that was his real motive. To get out of the money-world - that was what he wanted. Vaguely he looked forward to some kind of moneyless, anchorite existence. He had a feeling that if you genuinely despise money you can keep going somehow, like the birds of the air. He forgot that the birds of the air don't pay room-rent. The poet starving in a garret - but starving, somehow, not uncomfortably - that was his vision of himself.

The next seven months were devastating. They scared him and almost broke his spirit. He learned what it means to live for weeks on end on bread and margarine, to try to 'write' when you are half starved, to pawn your clothes, to sneak trembling up the stairs when you owe three weeks' rent and your landlady is listening for you. Moreover, in those seven months he wrote practically nothing. The first effect of poverty is that it kills thought. He grasped, as though it were a new discovery, that you do not escape from money merely by being moneyless. On the contrary, you are the hopeless slave of money until you have enough of it to live on - a 'competence', as the beastly middle-class phrase goes. ~ George Orwell
Adventurous Spirit quotes by George Orwell
God is spirit and in order to do works on earth, He needs a man, who has a spirit and a body ~ Sunday Adelaja
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Sunday Adelaja
It is the Land of Truth (enchanted name!), surrounded by a wide and stormy ocean, the true home of illusion, where many a fog bank and ice, that soon melts away, tempt us to believe in new lands, while constantly deceiving the adventurous mariner with vain hopes, and involving him in adventures which he can never leave, yet never bring to an end. ~ Immanuel Kant
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Immanuel Kant
God is in the details. ~ Gustave Flaubert
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Gustave Flaubert
During those periods in which our bitterness of spirit, though steadily diminishing, still persists, a distinction must be drawn between the bitterness which comes to us from our constantly thinking of the person herself and that which is revived by certain memories, some cutting speech, some word in a letter that we have had from her. The various forms which that bitterness can assume we shall examine when we come to deal with another and later love affair; for the present it must suffice to say that, of these two kinds, the former is infinitely the less cruel. That is because our conception of the person, since it dwells always within ourselves, is there adorned with the halo with which we are bound before long to invest her, and bears the marks if not of the frequent solace of hope, at any rate of the tranquillity of a permanent sorrow. (It must also be observed that the image of a person who makes us suffer counts for little if anything in those complications which aggravate the unhappiness of love, prolong it and prevent our recovery, just as in certain maladies the cause is insignificant beyond comparison with the fever which follows it and the time that must elapse before our convalescence.) ~ Marcel Proust
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Marcel Proust
Each part is necessary to make a whole. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
This principle holds that a reconnection to the natural world is fundamental to human health, well-being, spirit, and survival. ~ Richard Louv
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Richard Louv
Look here we shall die! Bear this in mind always & then the spirit within will wake up. Only then will meanness vanish from you, practicality in work will come, you will get new vigor in mind & body, and those who come in contact with you will also feel that they have really got something uplifting from you. ~ Swami Vivekananda
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Swami Vivekananda
My reason for writing stories is to give myself the satisfaction of visualising more clearly and detailedly and stably the vague, elusive, fragmentary impressions of wonder, beauty, and adventurous expectancy which are conveyed to me by certain sights (scenic, architectural, atmospheric, etc.), ideas, occurrences, and images encountered in art and literature. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Adventurous Spirit quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
All that Socrates could effect by way of protest against the tyranny of the reformed democracy was to die for his convictions. The Stoics could only advise the wise man to hold aloof from politics, keeping the unwritten law in his heart. But when Christ said: "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's," those words, spoken on His last visit to the Temple, three days before His death, gave to the civil power, under the protection of conscience, a sacredness it had never enjoyed, and bounds it had never acknowledged; and they were the repudiation of absolutism and the inauguration of freedom. For our Lord not only delivered the precept, but created the force to execute it. To maintain the necessary immunity in one supreme sphere, to reduce all political authority within defined limits, ceased to be an aspiration of patient reasoners, and was made the perpetual charge and care of the most energetic institution and the most universal association in the world. The new law, the new spirit, the new authority, gave to liberty a meaning and a value it had not possessed in the philosophy or in the constitution of Greece or Rome before the knowledge of the truth that makes us free. ~ John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton
Adventurous Spirit quotes by John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton
Each atom of the Holy Spirit is intelligent, and like all other matter has solidity, form, and size, and occupies space. ~ Orson Pratt
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Orson Pratt
The spirit is at home, if not entirely satisfied, in America. ~ Allan Bloom
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Allan Bloom
Only the Holy Spirit has the power to make the changes God wants to make in our lives ... We allow Christ to live through us ... through the choices we make. We choose to do the right thing in situations and then trust God's Spirit to give us his power, love, faith, and wisdom to do it. Since God's Spirit lives inside of us, these things are always available for asking. ~ Rick Warren
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Rick Warren
O thou invisible spirit of wine, if thou hast no name to be known by, let us call thee devil. ~ William Shakespeare
Adventurous Spirit quotes by William Shakespeare
True democracy is not inconsistent with a few persons representing the spirit, the hope and the aspirations of those whom they claim to represent. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Democracy is corrupted not only when the spirit of equality is corrupted, but likewise when they fall into a spirit of extreme equality. ~ Baron De Montesquieu
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Baron De Montesquieu
I see the invisible spirits, where demons still find it livable. I need a hug to hold my soul inside my body. ~ Lisa Lopes
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Lisa Lopes
My spirit saw how dull and down I was and came and sat laughing on my bed. Holding my brow, "Sweetheart, I can't bear to see you like this! ~ Rumi
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Rumi
You may have been taught that the mind (the spirit, the brain) is a very difficult thing to know about. This is the first principle of Scientology: It is possible to know about the mind, the spirit and life. ~ L. Ron Hubbard
Adventurous Spirit quotes by L. Ron Hubbard
The ten commandments were those black horses, and the justice of God, like a plowshare, tore my spirit. I was condemned, undone, destroyed, - lost, helpless, hopeless, - I thought hell was before me. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
A spirit of suspicion is not the gift of discernment. ~ R. Alan Woods
Adventurous Spirit quotes by R. Alan Woods
Tulsidas's Ramayana is a notable book because it is informed with the spirit of purity, pity and piety. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
People go to see beautiful paintings to see how much they cost. Wow. The practical value is that it shows you what the human spirit can do. ~ John Guare
Adventurous Spirit quotes by John Guare
Now when you meditate, try to meditate in a sustained way, first of all sustain it. Then you find that you are getting into the state of Samadhi, means at a state where you start feeling the joy and the bliss of God's blessings, and then you start saying "O God, what a blessing, what a blessing, and what a blessing". Once you have reached that state then you have to realize "Who am I". Who are you? What are you? You are the Spirit. After establishing your sustained attention on the Spirit you'll develop a state where you'll be in a complete state of witnessing with joy. ~ Nirmala Srivastava
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Nirmala Srivastava
I'll tell you what I see, and at no charge. You know much of war, you carry its spirit stabbed deep inside you, just as he up there has the steel within him. Just as deeply buried, just as hard and unyielding to all the softer things you are and want and own to. And just as bitter in its wounding. You think you'll be free of it one day; you carry it as if the wound will someday heal. But for you, just as for him, there will be no healing."
"Wow." Ringil reached up left-handed and tapped the pommel of the Ravensfriend with his fingers. "Nice guesses. I'm sorry, Granny. It's still no sale. ~ Richard K. Morgan
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Richard K. Morgan
True health is only possible when we understand the unity of our minds, emotions, spirits and physical bodies. ~ Christiane Northrup
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Christiane Northrup
No matter how much individuals do through their own efforts, they cannot actively purify themselves enough to be disposed in the least degree for the divine union of the perfection of love. God must take over and purge them in that fire that is dark for them, as we will explain. ~ San Juan De La Cruz
Adventurous Spirit quotes by San Juan De La Cruz
Wetikos can psychopathically (and thus toxically) mimic the human personality perfectly. If it serves their agenda, they can be convincing beyond belief, making themselves out to be normal, caring, politically correct human beings. They can endlessly talking about taking responsibility, but they never genuinely face up to and become accountable for their actions. They are unable to genuinely mourn, being only concerned with themselves. They will feign grief, however, just as they will try to appear compassionate, if it is politically expedient to do so and, hence, to their advance, they are master manipulators. ~ Paul Levy
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Paul Levy
Yet beauty is a shallow thing. So fleeting. Strength, intelligence, spirit, these things can be far more appealing than what lies on the surface of a thing. And power, of course. For power, true power, can last forever. ~ Kyra Dune
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Kyra Dune
For the philosophers of ancient Babylonia and Greece the sense world was not considered an illusion.
In the search for Divine, they turned towards art, towards symbols and signs within myths and legends. They created such a marvel of art that every detail became an expression of the spiritual. In mysterious ways the wisdom of the initiates poured into poets, artists, and thinkers. They awakened powers of thought and feeling that are not directly stimulated by the spiritual world. Manipulating the elements, they turned towards the Lady Science and carried her principles to the point that we are now able to manipulate the sound, the light, the matter and its manifestation. ~ Nataša Pantović
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Nataša Pantović
A person fully in the Self is formless, birth less and deathless.
He is inside, outside and above everything that is known.
In purity he is absolute and in spirit he is eternal. ~ Gian Kumar
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Gian Kumar
Wherefore, we search the prophets, and we have many revelations and the spirit of prophecy; and having all these witnesses we obtain a hope, and our faith becometh unshaken, insomuch that we truly can command in the name of Jesus and the very trees obey us, or the mountains, or the waves of the sea. ~ Joseph Smith Jr.
Adventurous Spirit quotes by Joseph Smith Jr.
