Yea ! by your works are ye justified
toil unrelieved ;
Manifold labours, co-ordinate each to the sending achieved ;
Discipline, not of the feet but the soul, unremitting, unfeigned ;
Tortures unholy by flame and by maiming, known, faced, and disdained ;
Courage that suns
Only foolhardiness ; even by these, are ye worthy of your guns. ~ Gilbert Frankau
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Gilbert Frankau
These are not books, lumps of lifeless paper, but minds alive on the shelves. From each of them goes out its own voice ... and just as the touch of a button on our set will fill the room with music, so by taking down one of these volumes and opening it, one can call into range the voice of a man far distant in time and space, and hear him speaking to us, mind to mind, heart to heart. ~ Gilbert Highet
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Gilbert Highet
You never know, I might get back into coaching someday. ~ Brad Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Brad Gilbert
The sentences still form in my mind, and thoughts still do their little show-off dance, but I know my thought patterns so well now that they don't bother me anymore. My thoughts have become like old neighbors, kind of bothersome but ultimately rather endearing - Mr. and Mrs. Yakkity-Yak and their three dumb children, Blah, Blah and Blah. But they don't agitate my home. There's room for all of us in this neighborhood. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
I can be whatever it takes to be a folksinger. Folk music to me, if we had to have a definition, is portable music. A lot of what I do is flash, gesture, athletics, but what it comes down to is getting across a melody that will help it stick to your ribs, and being able to take it from town to town. ~ Vance Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Vance Gilbert
In all secrets there is a kind of guilt, however beautiful or joyful they may be, or for what good end they may be set to serve. Secrecy means evasion, and evasion means a problem to the moral mind. ~ Gilbert Parker
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Gilbert Parker
Never apologize for it, never explain it away, never be ashamed of it. You did your best with what you knew, and you worked with what you had, in the time that you were given. You were invited, and you showed up, and you simply cannot do more than that. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
They flank me - depression on my left, loneliness on my right. They don't need to show their badges. I know these guys very well ... Then they frisk me. They empty my pockets of any joy I had been carrying there. Depression even confiscates my identity; but he always does that. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
I realized that, as a songwriter, the only thing I really do is make jewelry for the inside of other people's minds. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
Progress is the mother of problems. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
All I do know, for certain, after 53 years in this business, is that writers who sincerely think that their language can represent reality ought to be plumbers. ~ Gilbert Sorrentino
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Gilbert Sorrentino
I would not say that old men grow wise, for men never grow wise; and many old men retain a very attractive childishness and cheerful innocence. Elderly people are often much more romantic than younger people, and sometimes even more adventurous, having begun to realize how many things they do not know. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
I like the Americans for a great many reasons. I like them because even the modern thing called industrialism has not entirely destroyed in them the very ancient thing called democracy. I like them because they have a respect for work which really curbs the human tendency to snobbishness. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
The poet David Whyte calls this sense of creative entitlement "the arrogance of belonging," and claims that it is an absolutely vital privilege to cultivate if you wish to interact more vividly with life. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
If you're anything like me, I feel sorry for your friends and family. ~ Gilbert Gottfried
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Gilbert Gottfried
With all respect to the Buddha and to the early Christian celibates, I sometimes wonder if all this teaching about nonattachment and the spiritual importance of monastic solitude might be denying us something quite vital. Maybe all that renunciation of intimacy denies us the opportunity to ever experience that very earthbound, domesticated, dirt-under-the-fingernails gift of the difficult, long-term, daily forgiveness {...} Maybe creating a big enough space within your consciousness to hold and accept someone's contradictions - someone's idiocies, even - is a kind of divine act. Perhaps transcendence can be found not only on solitary mountaintops or in monastic settings, but also at your own kitchen table, in the daily acceptance of your partner's most tiresome, irritating faults. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
A man can never quite understand a boy, even when he has been a boy. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
Tiramisu for desert. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
Opening up space for ourselves is a life-affirming act, a sacred act. I believe we must all be allowed to affirm and open our own lives, in celebration of the miracle of our existence. I do not believe we were put here on Earth to feel sick and weary and sad forever. I do not believe we were put here to grow old when we are still young. This ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
Aesthetes never do anything but what they are told. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
As smoking is to the lungs, so is resentment to the soul; even one puff is bad for you. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
According to the legend, whenever an agent does anything intelligently, his act is preceded and steered by another internal act of considering a regulative proposition appropriate to his practical problem. But what makes him consider the one maxim which is appropriate rather than any of the thousands which are not? ~ Gilbert Ryle
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Gilbert Ryle
Arthritic toothless people who love orgasms are more likely to reproduce than are limber, toothy people who do not. ~ Daniel M. Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Daniel M. Gilbert
one of the reasons I was so free that year was because I was such a mess. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
Mysticism keeps mankind sane. As long as you have mystery you have health; when you destroy mystery you create morbidity. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
You never know how a good quest is going to end. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
My husband was sleeping in the other room, in our bed.I equal parts loved him and could not stand him. I couldn't wake him to share in my distress - what would be the point? He'd already been watching me fall apart for months now, watching me behave like a madwoman (we both agreed on that word), and I only exhausted him. We both knew there was something wrong with me, and he'd been losing patience with it. We'd been fighting and crying, and we were weary in that way that only a couple whose marriage is collapsing can be weary. We had the eyes of refugees. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
What we're all sort of trying to do in our lives is to make the simplest things work out the best. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
As is gloriously sung in the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta "H.M.S. Pinafore," in the words of W. S. Gilbert: "Things are seldom as they seem, Skim milk masquerades as cream." ~ W.S. Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by W.S. Gilbert
I'm a jokester, so when I was joking on Twitter, it kinda rubbed people the wrong way. And I was like, I didn't make these up. I'm just letting you know they're there. ~ Gilbert Arenas
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Gilbert Arenas
Respect your kids. They are their own people. I think sometimes we expect kids to be perfect when we're not perfect. ~ Sara Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Sara Gilbert
It was five months since Haig had told the British War Council: 'The machine gun is a much over-rated weapon and two per battalion is more than sufficient.' He was once again being proved terribly wrong. ~ Martin Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Martin  Gilbert
How much happier you would be, how much more of you there would be, if the hammer of a higher God could smash your small cosmos. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
I worked at the original Coyote Ugly bar when I was a young, unpublished writer. Then later when I became a writer, I wrote an article about it for GQ. Disney read this article about this filthy, disgusting pit in the East Village [of New York City], where we used to set the bar on fire to get customers away from us, and said, "That's a great movie for kids!" They made the fantastic Coyote Ugly movie, now legendary. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
Alex smiled. Andy was a good mate.
"And they'll get a good laugh out of that black eye." He grinned.
Alex glared; Andy was a dickhead ~ L.A. Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by L.A. Gilbert
Tolerance is a virtue of people who don't believe in anything anymore. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
In matters of truth the fact that you don't want to publish something is, nine times out of ten, a proof that you ought to publish it. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
The academic mind reflects infinity, and is full of light by the simple process of being shallow and standing still. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
Richard didn't even have time to ask if I thought I'd ever amount to anything in this life before I looked him eye to eye and said, I already have, mister. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Gilbert Frankau quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
Go be whomever you want to be, then. Do whatever you want to do. Pursue whatever fascinates you and brings you to life. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
