It is fascinating to watch legislators turn away from their usual corporate grips when they hear the growing thunder of the people. (Ralph Nader)
Selius affirms, in heav'n no gods there are: And while he thrives, and they their thunder spare, His daring tenet to the world seems fair. Anon. 1695. View quote
Martial
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. View quote
Frederick Douglass
The thunder rolls, And the lightnin' strikes. Another love grows cold On a sleepless night. As the storm blows on Out of control, Deep in her heart The thunder rolls. View quote
Garth Brooks
Social media is a double-edged sword. I've gotten in trouble for announcing, too soon, something that the network or the studio wanted to do, and it steals some of the thunder, so to speak. View quote
Charisma Carpenter
The same battle in the clouds will be known to the deaf only as lightning and to the blind only as thunder. View quote
George Santayana
The muffled thunder of dialogue comes through the walls, then a chorus of laughter. Then more thunder. Most of the laugh tracks on television were recorded in the early 1950s. These days, most of the people you hear laughing are dead. View quote
Chuck Palahniuk
When Byrons eyes were shut in death, We bowd our head and held our breath. He taught us little but our soul Had felt his like a thunder roll.... We watchd the fount of fiery life Which servd for that Titanic life. View quote
Matthew Arnold
I can feel a something pounding in my brain Just any time that someone speaks your name Trumpets sound and I hear thunder boom Every time that you walk in the room. View quote
Jackie DeShannon
The patter of their feet as they walk through Jim Crow barriers to attend school is the thunder of the marching men of Joshua, and the world rocks beneath their tread. View quote
Paul Robeson
I spend a lot of time in L.A., and when it rains there you get the entire rainfall for the year in two days, raindrops the size of mangoes. And in Barcelona, the Mediterranean storms come up from the sea, thunder and lightning; it's like the end of the world. (Carlos Ruiz Zafón)
Back in the 1950's, at the outset of my career, I had allowed some early discouragements in the marketplace to turn me into a purveyor of mass-produced claptrap; I had written (and sold) untold reams of stuff with titles like "Guardians of the Crystal Gate” and "Thunder over Starhaven,” unreconstructed zap-zap pulp adventure fiction.

Robert Silverberg
The pulse of war and passion of wonder, The heavens that murmur, the sounds that shine, The stars that sing and the loves that thunder, The music burning at heart like wine, An armed archangel whose hands raise up All senses mixed in the spirit's cup Till flesh and spirit are molten in sunder - These things are over, and no more mine. View quote
Algernon Charles Swinburne
God by God flits past in thunder, till His glories turn to shades; God to God bears wondering witness how His gospel flames and fades. View quote
Algernon Charles Swinburne
See how the rascals use me! They will not let my play run; and yet they steal my thunder. View quote
John Dennis
For me, Deism doesn't work because I find I can only think of a creator in human terms, and the concept of a human-like creator of muons and neutrinos has no meaning for me. But more profoundly, Deism spoils my covenant with Mystery. To assign attributes to Mystery is to disenchant it, to take away its luminance. I think of the ancients ascribing thunder and lightning to godly feuds, and I smile. The need for explanation pulsates in us all. View quote
Ursula Goodenough
All great changes have the same effects upon commonwealths, that thunder has upon liquors, making the dregs fly up to the top; the lowest plebeians rise to the head of affairs, and there preserve themselves, by representing the nobles, and other friends to the old government, as enemies to the publick. View quote
Jonathan Swift
Death is like thunder in two particulars, we are alarmed at the sound of it, and it is formidable only from that which has prceded it. View quote
Charles Caleb Colton
Thought can never capture the movement of life, it is much too slow. It is like lightning and thunder. They occur simultaneously, but sound, travelling slower than light, reaches you later, creating the illusion of two separate events. View quote
U. G. Krishnamurti
I am a being of Heaven and Earth,of thunder and lightning, of rain and wind, of the galaxies, of the suns and the stars and the void through which they travel. The essence of nature, eternal, divine that all men seek to know to hear, known as the great illusion time, and the all-prevailing atmosphere. And now you know my background. View quote
Eden Ahbez
I saw ahead the rainbow flaming above the tepee of the Six Grandfathers, built and roofed with cloud and sewed with thongs of lightning; and underneath it were all the wings of the air and under them the animals and men. All these were rejoicing, and thunder was like happy laughter. As I rode in through the rainbow door, there were cheering voices from all over the universe, and I saw the Six Grandfathers sitting in a row, with their arms held toward me and their hands, palms out; and behind them in the cloud were faces thronging, without number, of the people yet to be. (Black Elk)
If you have attained something, this is the surest proof that you have gone astray. Therefore, not to have is to have, silence is thunder, ignorance is enlightenment. View quote
D. T. Suzuki
It is better to be small, colorful, sexy, careless, and peaceful, like the flowers, than large, conservative, repressed, fearful, and aggressive, like the thunder lizards; a lesson, by the way, that the Earth has yet to learn. View quote
Tom Robbins
I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness. I hear the ever-approaching thunder, which will destroy us too. I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right. View quote
Anne Frank
Thunder rolled.. It rolled a six. View quote
Terry Pratchett
