Cleaving Quotes

• Humor has been a fashioning instrument in America, cleaving its way through the national life, holding tenaciously to the spread elements of that life. Its mode has often been swift and coarse and ruthless, beyond art and beyond established civilization. It has engaged in warfare against the established heritage, against the bonds of pioneer existence. Its objective --the unconscious objective of a disunited people --has seemed to be that of creating fresh bonds, a new unity, the semblance of a society and the rounded completion of an American type.

• It is sad, no doubt, to exhaust one's strength and one's days in cleaving the bosom of this jealous earth, which compels us to wring from it the treasures of its fertility, when a bit of the blackest and coarsest bread is, at the end of the day's work, the sole recompense and the sole profit attaching to so arduous a toil.

  George Sand

• ¡Soplad, vientos, y rajad las mejillas! ¡Furia! ¡Soplad! Cataratas y huracanes, escupid hasta que hayáis empapado nuestros teeples y ahogado los gallos. Vosotros, azufre y fuegos ejecutores del pensamiento, acólitos de los rayos que rompen robles, chamuscad mi blanca cabeza. Y tú, trueno que todo lo sacudes, aplasta la espesa rotundidad del mundo. Rompe los moldes de la naturaleza, derrama todos los gérmenes que hacen al hombre ingrato.

  William Shakespeare

• The purest joy in the world is joy in Christ Jesus.  When the Spirit is poured down, his people get very near and clear views of the Lord Jesus.  They eat his flesh and drink his blood.  They come to a personal cleaving to the Lord.  They taste that the Lord is gracious.  His blood and righteousness appear infinitely perfect, full and free to their soul.  They sit under his shadow with great delight. . . . They lean on the Beloved.  They find infinite strength in him for the use of their soul — grace for grace — all they can need in any hour of trial and suffering to the very end.

• ¿Conoces realmente a Jesús vivo, no por los libros, sino por estar con Él en tu corazón? ¿Has escuchado las palabras de amor que te dirige? El diablo puede intentar utilizar las heridas de la vida, y a veces nuestros propios errores, para hacerte sentir que es imposible que Jesús te ame de verdad, que se apegue a ti. Este es un peligro para todos nosotros. Y tan triste, porque es completamente lo contrario de lo que Jesús realmente quiere, espera decirte. No sólo que te ama, sino aún más - que te anhela.

• An important part of leaving and cleaving has to do with abandoning parental beliefs, lifestyles, values, and traditions that are not clearly delineated in the Scriptures. Unless both husband and wife agree, such extra-Biblical standards should not be automatically carried over from one family to another.

• Ah, steeds, steeds, what steeds! Has the whirlwind a home in your manes? Is there a sensitive ear, alert as a flame, in your every fiber? Hearing the familiar song from above, all in one accord you strain your bronze chests and, hooves barely touching the ground, turn into straight lines cleaving the air, and all inspired by God it rushes on!

  Nikolai Gogol
