Fill Quotes - page 30

You, and those like you, take your fill of pleasure on earth by making the life of such as me bitter and black with sorrow and then it is a fine thing, when you have had enough of that, to think of securing your pleasure in heaven by becoming converted. (Thomas Hardy)
A little thing, like children putting flowers in my hair, can fill up the widening cracks in my self-assurance like soothing lanolin. View quote

Our mothers put God first when they fill their highest mission within the walls of their own homes. View quote
Ezra Taft Benson
The bitter, yet merciful, lesson which death teaches us is to distinguish the gold from the tinsel, the true values from the worthless chaff. The terrible events of life are great eye-openers. They force us to learn that which it is wholesome for us to know, but which habitually we try to ignore - namely, that really we have no claim on a long life ; that we are each of us liable to be called off at any moment, and that the main point is not how long we live, but with what meaning we fill the short allotted span - for short it is at best.

Felix Adler
I notice that my characters go out to dinner and have fun and take these great trips, but I spend so much time on their lives, I don't have much of a personal life of my own. I have to sort of remember to fill out that little notebook on me. View quote
Angelina Jolie
It is human nature to want to exchange ideas, and I believe that, at bottom, every artist wants no more than to tell the world what he has to say. I have sometimes heard painters say that they paint 'for themselves': but I think they would soon have painted their fill if they lived on a desert island. (M. C. Escher)
I have a crazy amount of different jobs, so the way I manage that is to not do more than one at a time. It's like old computers that had small memory chips, they would do something called swapping, where they would fill the memory with one task, do it and get it out. View quote
Louis C.K.
These are not books, lumps of lifeless paper, but minds alive on the shelves. From each of them goes out its own voice, as inaudible as the streams of sound conveyed by electric waves beyond the range of our hearing; and just as the touch of button on our stereo will fill the room with music, so by opening one of these volumes, one can call into range a voice far distant in time and space, and hear it speaking, mind to mind, heart to heart. View quote
Gilbert Highet
Too often I find that the volume of paper expands to fill the available briefcases. View quote
Jerry Brown
Thou art-what? Let the still small voice of God help you to fill it in. Must the answer be, thou art-impure, intemperate, dishonest, untruthful, irreverent, blasphemous, selfish, covetous, careless, unkind, lukewarm, lazy, ungrateful, unforgiving, filled with hypocrisy, defeated, a slave? Thou art-. Be honest. Fill it in. View quote

Thou shalt be-what? You cannot fill it in. You cannot tear asunder the cloud that separates you from tomorrow. You do not know what is in store for you. Thou shalt be-let him fill it in for you. Thou shalt be-pure, honest, true, reverent, unselfish, loving, loyal, victorious, filled with divine discontent with mere material and physical pleasures, eager to be of service to thy fellows, willing to deny thyself, take up the cross and follow me. ...Thou art-yes. ...You shall be-but only as you turn to Jesus Christ. ...And when you find him you will discover that he is the key to vaults of hidden treasures in your own life.

With the exception of some early Christian sects that were exterminated when the Fathers of the Church wormed their way to power and could start killing their competitors, Christianity, during the greater part of its history, enforced celibacy and homosexuality on a fairly large part of our race, including some of its most intelligent members, through the priesthood and monasticism, and broke up families and family property by prohibiting marriages between even fairly distant relatives. Islam, on the other hand, ordained polygyny and encouraged Moslems to fill their harems, and engender children by women of all different races; that is why the Arabic stock was diluted and liquidated so much more quickly than our own.

You know how much money the oil companies have? If you need some gas, just go fill your tank off and drive off - they're not going to miss it. View quote
Kid Rock
And so I'd dream a bass will join me, and fill the bottom in. And maybe now some lead guitar so it would not sound so thin. I need some drums to set the beat and help me keep in time. And way back in the distance, some strings would sound so fine. View quote
Harry Chapin
Fill up the goblet and reach to me some! Drinking makes wise, but dry fasting makes glum. View quote
William R. Alger
Learn to live well, or fairly make your will You've played, and loved, and ate, and drunk your fill Walk sober off before a sprightlier age Comes tittering on, and shoves you from the stage. (Alexander Pope)
For generations prior to the last war, the central problem of admissions at Amherst and similar institutions had been one of recruitment-finding enough qualified candidates to fill each entering class. Since 1946, however, the central problem of admissions has increasingly been one of selection- picking the "best" candidates from a great excess of qualified applicants. View quote
Eugene S. Wilson

Sarah Seltzer
You have to create the space for God to fill. View quote
Steve Maraboli
The very existence of the Nation was threatened. Threatened on all sides, from the interior and exterior. From the interior, by the sterile conflicts of politicians who sacrificed the country and their compatriots to their own interests. Nothing counted for them but power...and what the exercise of power could bring them. Fill their own pockets, exploit the Congo and the Congolese, this was their trademark. Given such examples, both national and provincial administrations were mired in inertia, inefficiency, and worse yet, corruption. At all levels, many of those in our country who held a morsel of public power allowed themselves to be corrupted, served individuals and companies who paid bribes and neglected the others... ...certain politicians, to maintain themselves in power or to regain it, did not hesitate to seek help from foreign powers... ...the social, economic and financial situation of the country is catastrophic.
