Take our politicians they're a bunch of yo-yos. The presidency is now a cross between a popularity contest and a high school debate, with an encyclopedia of cliches the first prize. (Saul Bellow)
Martyrs do not underrate the body, they allow it to be elevated on the cross. In this they are at one with their antagonists. View quote
Franz Kafka

Percy Bysshe Shelley
And this is one of the major questions of our lives: how we keep boundaries, what permission we have to cross boundaries, and how we do so. View quote
A. B. Yehoshua
I like dogs. You always know what a dog is thinking. It has four moods. Happy, sad, cross and concentrating. Also, dogs are faithful and they do not tell lies because they cannot talk. View quote
Mark Haddon
How to run an ultramarathon ? Puff out your chest, put one foot in front of the other, and don't stop till you cross the finish line. View quote
Dean Karnazes
I was at a photo shoot and I was wearing a cross necklace that my mom bought me, and somebody made a joke like, 'Why are you wearing a cross? Like you would be religious,' And then they took it away. I was really affected by that. The whole thing made me realize that I do want [a cross] with me, at all times. View quote
Kate Upton

Gavin Bryars
In the rainy season, sometimes to get to the first lesson we had to run really quick, because we had to cross the river to school and we'd have to go up and down the bank to find a place to cross because there is no bridge. View quote
Haile Gebrselassie
Sometimes you don't know if you're Caesar about to cross the Rubicon or Captain Queeg cutting your own tow line. (Anthony Kennedy)
Whoever removes the Cross and its interpretation by the New Testament from the center, in order to replace it, for example, with the social commitment of Jesus to the oppressed as a new center, no longer stands in continuity with the apostolic faith. View quote
Hans Urs von Balthasar
When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross. View quote
Sinclair Lewis
To be misunderstood even by those whom one loves is the cross and bitterness of life. It is the secret of that sad and melancholy smile on the lips of great men which so few understand; it is the cruelest trial reserved for self-devotion; it is what must have oftenest wrung the heart of the Son of man; and if God could suffer, it would be the wound we should be forever inflicting upon Him. He also - He above all - is the great misunderstood, the least comprehended. View quote
Henri-Frédéric Amiel
Here is your cross, Your nails and your hill; And here is your love, That lists where it will. View quote
Leonard Cohen
I have learned by experience that a tragic end awaits anyone who dares cross swords with me; Nasser is no more, John and Robert Kennedy died at the hands of assassins, their brother Edward has been disgraced, Krushchev was toppled, the list is endless. View quote
Muhammad Reza Pahlavi
And it came to me then. That we were wonderful traveling companions but in the end no more than lonely lumps of metal in their own separate orbits. From far off they look like beautiful shooting stars, but in reality they're nothing more than prisons, where each of us is locked up alone, going nowhere. When the orbits of these two satellites of ours happened to cross paths, we could be together. Maybe even open our hearts to each other. But that was only for the briefest moment. In the next instant we'd be in absolute solitude. Until we burned up and became nothing. View quote
Haruki Murakami
Sanya, Knight of the Cross: Laugh whenever you can. Keeps you from killing yourself when things are bad. That and vodka. View quote
Jim Butcher
Sanya, Knight of the Cross: There is, I think, humor here which does not translate well from English into sanity. View quote
Jim Butcher
I assert once again as a truth to which history as a whole bears witness that men may second their fortune, but cannot oppose it; that they may weave its warp, but cannot break it. Yet they should never give up, because there is always hope, though they know not the end and more towards it along roads which cross one another and as yet are unexplored; and since there is hope, they should not despair, no matter what fortune brings or in what travail they find themselves. View quote
Niccolò Machiavelli
Unless I understand the Cross, I cannot understand why my commitment to what is right must be precedence over what I prefer. (Ravi Zacharias)
I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately. View quote
George Carlin
The highest ensign that men ever met and embraced under, the Cross itself, had no meaning save an accidental extrinsic one. View quote
Thomas Carlyle
It is sufficiently evident from many circumstances, that the doctrine of the divinity of Christ did not establish itself without much opposition, especially from the unlearned among the Christians, who thought that it savoured of Polytheism, that it was introduced by those who had had a philosophical education, and was by degrees adopted by others, on account of its covering the great offence of the cross, by exalting the personal dignity of our Saviour. View quote
Joseph Priestley
Thou, Everlasting Strength, hast set Thyself forth to bear our burdens. May we bear Thy cross, and bearing that, find there is nothing else to bear; and touching that cross, find that instead of taking away our strength, it adds thereto. Give us faith for darkness, for trouble, for sorrow, for bereavement, for disappointment; give us a faith that will abide though the earth itself should pass away - a faith for living, a faith for tying. View quote
Henry Ward Beecher
