I'm dreaming of a month of Sundays. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
I know that today, with a full tank, and with Annabel, that it's time to go. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
If you find that you have backed into a corner, it may be time to clear pride from your way forward. ~ Jeffery Herrick

Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
After the war I was going to make up for lost time. But the time I spent away, it's still lost. No matter what I do, it stays lost. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
And as this round (ring) is nowhere found to flaw, or else to sever. So let our love as endless prove and pure as gold forever. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
No, not Jove
Himselfe, at one time, can be wise and love. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
O, let us understand that the power of Christianity lies not in a hazy indefiniteness, not in shadowy forms, not so much even in definite truths and doctrines, but in the truth and the doctrine. There is but one Christ crucified. All the gathered might of the infinite God is in that word. ~ Herrick Johnson
Herrick quotes by Herrick Johnson
Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt. Nothing's so hard but search will find it out. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
Some would know
Why I so
Long still doe tarry,
And ask why
Here that I
Live, and not marry?
Thus I those
Doe oppose;
What man would be here,
Slave to Thrall,
If at all
He could live free here? ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
I'm glad she left me the kids. I'd be lost without them. Lost and bitter. With them here, I'm only bitter. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
Bid me to love, and I will give a loving heart to thee. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
Art quickens nature; care will make a face; Neglected beauty perisheth apace. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
The person lives twice who lives the first life well. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
Nettie set out a loaf of sourdough bread from Baker's Way Bakers, a wodge of runny Camembert, and a container of leftover lamb, rich with garlic and rosemary, nestled on a bed of spicy arugula from the home garden. She'd plucked two sharp green apples from one of the trees in their tiny orchard, and she placed a waxed bag of caramel shortbread beside them. ~ Ellen Herrick
Herrick quotes by Ellen Herrick
The Sparrow Sisters' roses still bloomed on New Year's Day, their scent rich and warm even when snow weighted their petals closed. When customers came down the rutted road to the small eighteenth-century barn where the sisters worked, they marveled at the jasmine that twined through the split-rail fence, the perfume so intense they could feel it in their mouths. As they paid for their purchases, they wondered (vaguely, it must be said, for the people of Granite Point knew not to think too hard about the Sisters) how it was that clematis and honeysuckle climbed the barn in November and the morning glories bloomed all day. The fruit trees were so fecund that the peaches hung on the low branches, surrounded by more blossoms, apples and pears ripened in June and stayed sweet and fresh into December. Their Italian fig trees were heavy with purple teardrop fruit only weeks after they were planted. If you wanted a tomato so ripe the juice seemed to move beneath the skin, you needed only to pick up a punnet at the Nursery. ~ Ellen Herrick
Herrick quotes by Ellen Herrick
Boonie wondered with sadness, Why don't I have any real memories like that of this elder statesman who happens to live in our house from time to time? This handsome, formal man whose blood runs mysteriously in my own veins? He was always more like a king than a father. ~ Suzanne Stroh
Herrick quotes by Suzanne Stroh
Drink wine, and live here blitheful while ye may;
The morrow's life too late is; live to-day. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
Two days prior to the Herrick operation I repaired a double cleft lip, resected a recurrent cancer of the mouth, corrected lop ears in a child, and closed a burn of the buttocks. ~ Joe Murray
Herrick quotes by Joe Murray
Who with a little cannot be content, endures an everlasting punishment. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
The widest cause of secularization may be the steady change of thinking so that there is the expectation that reason and a consideration of cause and effect will help with explanations. Supernatural power began to be removed from explanations of the process of life or society in the seventeenth century, and although there may be a nod towards astrology or the crossed finger today, superstition is not seriously used in decision making ...
Scientific thinking, which similarly developed in the seventeenth century, has been influential in bringing this change. We now see that tornadoes and earthquakes have rational explanations in terms of climatology and seismology rather than as divine punishments. Most people when deciding whether to take a new job, embark on a divorce, or simply plan a holiday will not seek divine guidance, but rather discuss with themselves or others the issues of cause and effect. ~ Jim Herrick
Herrick quotes by Jim Herrick
But the thing that ... that I touched ... " I cried. "It was furry! It-" I stopped short, taken with a shudder. "I know," said Herrick. ~ Margery Williams
Herrick quotes by Margery Williams
Let my muse
Fail of thy former helps, and only use
Her inadulterate strength. What's done by me
Hereafter shall smell of the lamp, not thee. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
In things a moderation keep; Kings ought to shear, not skin, their sheep. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
It is an active flame that fliesFirst to the babies in the eyes. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
That age is best which is the first
When youth and blood are warmer. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
I'm alone with the ghost of the swamp, somewhere near the weeping willows. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
Things are evermore sincere; / Candor here, and lustre there / Delighting. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
And I'm thinking as our bodies meet that I'll remember this forever, and i just hope it's for all the right reasons. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
The girls seemed unconcerned and went about their days, each as lovely in their own way as the flowers they tended. Sorrel's black hair became streaked with premature white, which gave her an exotic air, although the elegance was somewhat ruined by the muddy jeans and shorts she practically lived in. Nettie, on the other hand, had a head of baby-fine blonde hair that she wore short, thinking, wrongly, that it would look less childlike. Nettie wouldn't dream of being caught in dirty jeans and was always crisply turned out in khaki capris or a skirt and a white shirt. She considered her legs to be her finest feature. She was not wrong.
Patience was the sole Sparrow redhead, although her hair had deepened from its childhood ginger and was now closer to the color of a chestnut. It was heavy and glossy as a horse's mane, and she paid absolutely no attention to it or to much else about her appearance, nor did she have to. In the summer her wide-legged linen trousers and cut-off shorts were speckled with dirt and greenery, her camisoles tatty and damp. The broad-brimmed hat she wore to pick was most often dangling from a cord down her back. As a result, the freckles that feathered across her shoulders and chest were the color of caramel and resistant to her own buttermilk lotion (Nettie smoothed it on Patience whenever she could make her stand still). When it was terribly hot, Patience wore the sundresses she'd found packed away in the attic. She knew they were her mother's, an ~ Ellen Herrick
Herrick quotes by Ellen Herrick
What is a kiss? Why this, as some approve: The sure, sweet cement, glue, and lime of love. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
I work hard in the orchard, not for the money anymore, but for something I can't explain. Something worth more than money. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
Necessity makes dastards valiant men. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
A house that lacks, seemingly, mistress and master,
With doors that none but the wind ever closes,
Its floor all littered with glass and with plaster;
It stands in a garden of old-fashioned roses.

I pass by that way in the gloaming with Mary;
'I wonder,' I say, 'who the owner of those is.'
'Oh, no one you know,' she answers me airy,
'But one we must ask if we want any roses.'

So we must join hands in the dew coming coldly
There in the hush of the wood that reposes,
And turn and go up to the open door boldly,
And knock to the echoes as beggars for roses.

'Pray, are you within there, Mistress Who-were-you?'
'Tis Mary that speaks and our errand discloses.
'Pray, are you within there? Bestir you, bestir you!
'Tis summer again; there's two come for roses.

'A word with you, that of the singer recalling--
Old Herrick: a saying that every maid knows is
A flower unplucked is but left to the falling,
And nothing is gained by not gathering roses.'

We do not loosen our hands' intertwining
(Not caring so very much what she supposes),
There when she comes on us mistily shining
And grants us by silence the boon of her roses. ~ Robert Frost
Herrick quotes by Robert Frost
He loves his bonds who, when the first are broke, Submits his neck into a second yoke. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
Lord, 'tis Thy plenty-dropping hand
That soils my land,
And giv'st me for my bushel sowne
Twice ten for one.
All this, and better, Thou dost send
Me, to this end,
That I should render, for my part,
A thankful heart. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
He hands the page to his wife and looks across the room to Colleen's picture, listening to her absence, breathing deeply the air she can't share. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
The first act's doubtful, but we say, it is the last commends the play. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
The saddest of all failures is that of a soul, with its capabilities and possibilities, failing of life everlasting, and entering upon that night of death upon which morning never dawns. ~ Herrick Johnson
Herrick quotes by Herrick Johnson
Herrick's cold rage was an enforceable warrant. ~ Suzanne Stroh
Herrick quotes by Suzanne Stroh
He looks a hell of a lot like me, only a fair bit older. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
Hast thou attempted greatnesse? Then go on; Back-turning slackens resolution. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
So, we skipped Annabel, and discussed condoms. I said I liked the orange ones, and we ended our talk in laughter. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
Wealth cannot make a life, but Love. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
Feed him ye must, whose food fills you.
And that this pleasure is like raine,
Not sent ye for to drowne your paine,
But for to make it spring againe. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
Humble we must be, if to heaven we go; High is the roof there, but the gate is low. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
To fundamentally solve a problem, we must understand it's cause. In that I mean the chain of actions or circumstances that led to the problem
rather than only the immediate cause, which serves only to place blame. ~ Charlie Herrick
Herrick quotes by Charlie Herrick
I've tried praying. It gives me comfort. But not as much as a cup of tea and a ginger nut biscuit. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
Welcome, maids of honor, You doe bring In the spring, And wait upon her. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
It is the end that crowns us, not the fight. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
Buying, possessing, accumulating
this is not worldliness. But doing this in the love of it, with no love of God paramount
doing it so that thoughts of eternity and God are an intrusion
doing it so that one's spirit is secularized in the process; this is worldliness. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
To the Virgins, To Make much of Time
Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying.
The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
The higher he's a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he is to setting.
That age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worse, and worst
Times still succeed the former.
Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while you may, go marry;
For having lost but once your prime,
You may for ever tarry. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
I've learned difference between a friend and an acquaintance. Acquaintances provide a warm body in the room. They provide entertainment. They can keep you from feeling lonely. And acquaintances don't involve sacrifice. If they don't fit your schedule, it's no big loss. You can know someone for decades, get together with them on countless occasions, and never become their friend. Friendship means cutting away a small piece of your heart and allowing another person to fill that gap. Friendship is anchored in love. When we put love into action, it communicates value. ~ John Herrick
Herrick quotes by John Herrick
Emma says after I was born I cried for days. She said I'd never shut up which is funny really because Dad says I never shut up now so maybe that's what happens, you get born and act the same your whole life. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
Seldom comes Glory till a man be dead. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
Wandering from room to room discovering another side to the moon. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
Christ has lifted woman to a new place in the world. And just in proportion as Christianity has sway, will she rise to a higher dignity in human life. What she has now, and what she shall have, of privilege and true honor, she owes to that gospel which took those qualities peculiarly and which had been counted weak and unworthy, and gave them a Divine glory in Christ. ~ Herrick Johnson
Herrick quotes by Herrick Johnson
Christianity, Christ, heaven, hell, the judgment, sin, holiness, God,
these, and whether they be true, or false, and our personal relations to them, whether they be right or wrong, are things to know about, not to be doubting or guessing about. ~ Herrick Johnson
Herrick quotes by Herrick Johnson
Look, therefore, which way we will, whether at the direct Scriptural statements of death as the penalty of sin, or at the agony of the cross as a means of rescue, or at the joy of the angels of God over a rescue; we see from either that it must be a work of infinite and eternal consequence
the work of redemption. ~ Herrick Johnson
Herrick quotes by Herrick Johnson
Whatever comes, let's be content withal; Among God's blessings there is not one small. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
She taught me what's important, and what isn't. And I've never forgotten. And that's what mothers do, I say. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
But ne'er the rose without the thorn. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
When the tempter me pursueth
With the sins of all my youth,
And half damns me with untruth,
Sweet Spirit, comfort me! ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
None pities him that is in the snare, who warned before, would not beware. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
Our great adventure ran out of petrol and stopped on this farm. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
Love is a circle that doth restless move
In the same sweet eternity of love. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
He walks through the house of his past, hoping he'll find the right door, hoping he'll find the key. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
The Bible is the most thought suggesting book in the world. No other deals with such grand themes. ~ Herrick Johnson
Herrick quotes by Herrick Johnson
In the hour of my distress, When temptations me oppress, And when I my sins confess, Sweet Spirit, comfort me. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
"Agnostic" is a much more recent word than "atheist", coined by Thomas Huxley in 1869 to mean "without knowledge of God" and acquiring the usage of "being doubtful about the existence of God." ~ Jim Herrick
Herrick quotes by Jim Herrick
No pains. No gains ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
What though the sea be calm? trust to the shore, Ships have been drown'd, where late they danc'd before. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
Roses climbed the shed, entwined with dark purple clematis, leaves as glossy as satin. There were no thorns. Patience's cupboard was overflowing with remedies, and the little barn was often crowded with seekers. The half acre of meadow was wild with cosmos and lupine, coreopsis, and sweet William. Basil, thyme, coriander, and broad leaf parsley grew in billowing clouds of green; the smell so fresh your mouth watered and you began to plan the next meal. Cucumbers spilled out of the raised beds, fighting for space with the peas and beans, lettuce, tomatoes, and bright yellow peppers.
The cart was righted out by the road and was soon bowed under glass jars and tin pails of sunflowers, zinnias, dahlias, and salvia. Pears, apples, and out-of-season apricots sat in balsa wood baskets in the shade, and watermelons, some with pink flesh, some with yellow, all sweet and seedless, lined the willow fence. ~ Ellen Herrick
Herrick quotes by Ellen Herrick
I'm thinking about babies. Emma's baby. Jack and my baby. Growing in my mind, if not in my womb. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
In prayer the lips ne'er act the winning part, Without the sweet concurrence of the heart. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
The wonderful 17th Century poet, Robert Herrick, wrote a poem entitled, 'To Live Merrily and to Trust to Good Verses.' Easy to say, Robert Herrick; not always easy to do. But it's a good slogan, I think. ~ Robert Pinsky
Herrick quotes by Robert Pinsky
Here is Christianity. Whence came it? It is a force in the world, a prodigious force. It has revolutionized society. It has lifted man out of himself. It has changed the face of the world. There it lies, imbedded in more than eighteen centuries of human history; and history of no mean sort, the best record of the race. ~ Herrick Johnson
Herrick quotes by Herrick Johnson
If God is a reality, and the soul is a reality, and you are an immortal being, what are you doing with your Bible shut? ~ Herrick Johnson
Herrick quotes by Herrick Johnson
As I stood on the lonely backroad, I'm sure I heard birds, kookaburras, laughing ... ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
Bid me despair, and I'll despair,Under that cypress tree;Or bid me die, and I will dareE'en Death, to die for thee. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
It was a good apple too. A good apple, picked by a madman on a full moon night. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
So when or you or I are made A fable, song, or fleeting shade; All love, all liking, all delight Lies drowned with us in endless night. Then while time serves, and we are but decaying; Come, my Corinna, come, let's go a Maying. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
He who has suffered shipwreck, fears to sail Upon the seas, though with a gentle gale. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
People say the beach is the great equaliser
Who are they kidding?
Sit at Bondi and watch the boys flex
And the girls walk bolt upright
It looks like a nightmare episode of Baywatch.
The true equaliser is the mountain cold
And stacks of cold flung together
Maybe then we'd listen to what each other is saying
Instead of checking out the best bods.
And as I wrap another layer
Around my Size 10
I think of Jack's favourite saying:
"today's tan is tomorrow's cancer"
I walk outside
And whistle at the wind. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
Learn this of me, where'er thy lot doth fall,
Short lot, or not, to be content with all. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
Here we are all, by day; by night, we're hurled
By dreams, each one, into a several world. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
Know when to speak - for many times it brings danger, to give the best advice to kings. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
Two Arts degrees does not a life make. ~ Steven Herrick
Herrick quotes by Steven Herrick
Other men have said, "If I could only live, I would establish and perpetuate an empire." This Christ of Galilee says, "My death shall do it." Other martyrs have died in simple fidelity to truth. This martyr dies that He may make His truth mighty over all hearts. He was a man; but was He only a man? ~ Herrick Johnson
Herrick quotes by Herrick Johnson
Our present tears here, not our present laughter
Are but the handsells of our joys hereafter. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
When a daffadill I see, Hanging down his head towards me, Guess I may, what I must be: First, I shall decline my head; Secondly, I shall be dead: Lastly, safely buryed. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
I'll write, because I'll give - You critics means to live; For should I not supply - The cause, the effect would die ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
Christ was either the grandest, guiltiest of impostors, by a marvelous and most subtle refinement of wickedness, or He was God manifest in the flesh. ~ Herrick Johnson
Herrick quotes by Herrick Johnson
Certainly, if money could have been raised upon the book, Robert Herrick would long ago have sacrificed that last possession: but the demand for literature, which is so marked a feature in some parts of the South Seas, extends not so far as the dead tongues; and the Virgil, which he could not exchange against a meal had often consoled him in his hunger. He would study it, as he lay with tightened belt on the floor of the old calaboose, seeking favourite passages and finding new ones only less beautiful because they lacked the consecration of remembrance. The Ebb-Tide ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Herrick quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
He who tears down the cross, what is there left to lift him to heaven? The church claiming to be a Christian church is false to the title, if she make the cross of Christ of none effect. ~ Herrick Johnson
Herrick quotes by Herrick Johnson
Let wealth come in by comely thrift,
And not by any sordid shift;
'T is haste
Makes waste;
Extremes have still their fault.
Who gripes too hard the dry and slipp'ry sand,
Holds none at all, or little, in his hand. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
Go to your banquet then, but use delight
So as to rise still with an appetite. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
Thou art my life, my love, my heart,
The very eyes of me:
And hast command of every part
To live and die for thee. ~ Robert Herrick
Herrick quotes by Robert Herrick
