Bitter Experience Quotes

• Que cada uno de nosotros cultive, en cada palabra que salga de su boca, la verdad absoluta. Digo cultivar, porque a muy pocas personas -como puede observarse en la mayoría de los niños pequeños- la verdad, esta veracidad rígida y literal, les viene por naturaleza. A muchos, incluso a los que la aman y la aprecian en los demás, sólo les llega después del autocontrol, la vigilancia y la amarga experiencia de los años.

  Dinah Maria Murlock Craik

• If things are tough, remember that every flower that ever bloomed had to go through a whole lot of dirt to get there. The almighty Father will use life's reverses to move you forward. So do not keep grieving about a bitter experience. The present is slipping by while you are regretting the past and worrying about the future. Regret will not prevent tomorrow's sorrows; it will only rob today of its strength.

• A woman is not a whole woman without the experience of marriage. In the case of a bad marriage, you win if you lose. Of the two alternatives - bad marriage or none - I believe bad marriage would be better. It is a bitter experience and a high price to pay for fulfillment, but it is the better alternative.

  Fannie Hurst

• Do we behave out of fear of punishment, or out of the demands of our heart? For me, it is the latter, as I would hope is true for all adults, thought I know from bitter experience that such is not often the case. To act in a manner designed to catapult you into heaven would seem transparent to a god, any god,for if ones heart is not in allignment with the creator of that heaven, then... what is the point?

  R. A. Salvatore

• We cannot rely on ourselves, for we have learned by bitter experience the folly of self-confidence. We are compelled to look to the Lord alone. Blessed is the wind that drives the ship into the harbor. Blessed is the distress that forces us to rest in our God.

• A strong defense is the surest way to peace. Strength makes detente attainable. Weakness invites war, as my generation - my generation - knows from four very bitter experiences. Just as America's will for peace is second to none, so will America's strength be second to none. We cannot rely on the forbearance of others to protect this Nation. The power and diversity of the Armed Forces, active Guard and Reserve, the resolve of our fellow citizens, the flexibility in our command to navigate international waters that remain troubled are all essential to our security.

  Gerald R. Ford

• Los pueblos han aprendido por amarga experiencia que la "unión fraternal europea de los pueblos" no puede lograrse con meras frases y deseos piadosos, sino sólo con revoluciones profundas y luchas sangrientas; han aprendido que la cuestión no es la de una unión fraternal de todos los pueblos europeos bajo una sola bandera republicana, sino la de una alianza de los pueblos revolucionarios contra los pueblos contrarrevolucionarios, una alianza que nace no sobre el papel, sino sólo en el campo de batalla.
