Cloaks Quotes - Page 6

• Do not let the bread of the hungry mildew in your larder! Do not let moths eat the poor man's cloak. Do not store the shoes of the barefoot. Do not hoard the money of the needy. Things you possess in too great abundance belong to the poor and not to you. You are the thief who steals from God if you are able to help your neighbor and refuse to do it.

  Christine de Pizan

• Me gusta el vestuario del [Conde] Olaf, porque todo parece que debería ser una pieza de época en muchos sentidos, y sin embargo la fecha no es específica. Llevaba capas y chaquetas, pero también jerseys de cuello alto. Era un poco beatnik y un poco hipster en ese sentido.

  Neil Patrick Harris

• Ned was clad in a white linen doublet with the direwolf of Stark on the breast; his black wool cloak was fastened at the collar by his silver hand of office. Black and white and grey, all the shades of truth.

• La vida es tan generosa como dadora, pero nosotros, juzgando sus dones por su envoltura, los desechamos por feos, pesados o duros. Quita la cubierta y encontrarás bajo ella un esplendor vivo, tejido de amor, por la sabiduría, con poder. Acógelo, agárralo, y tocarás la mano del ángel que te lo trae. Todo lo que llamamos una prueba o una pena o un deber, créeme que la mano del ángel está ahí, y la maravilla de una presencia que ensombrece. La vida está tan llena de significado y propósito, tan llena de belleza bajo su cobertura, que encontrarás que la tierra sólo cubre tu cielo. Valor entonces para reclamar, eso es todo.

  Giovanni Giocondo

• Observance of customs and laws can very easily be a cloak for a lie so subtle that our fellow human beings are unable to detect it. It may help us to escape all criticism, we may even be able to deceive ourselves in the belief of our obvious righteousness. But deep down, below the surface of the average man's conscience, he hears a voice whispering, 'There is something not right,' no matter how much his rightness is supported by public opinion or by the moral code.

• This democracy of ours, which sometimes we've treated so lightly, is more than ever a comfortable cloak, so let us not tear it asunder, for no man knows, once it is destroyed, where or when he will find its protective warmth again.

• Before Santa and presents and shopping and all the attendant Christmas (stuff) got involved, this holiday was enshrined to commemorate a guy who got nailed to a tree for daring to tell people to be kind to one another. If you have two cloaks, He said, give one away. Remember those who have less than you, be charitable, be good, be merciful.

• I opened a book and in I strode.
  Now nobody can find me.
  I've left my chair, my house, my road,
  My town and my world behind me.
  I'm wearing the cloak, I've slipped on the ring,
  I've swallowed the magic potion.
  I've fought with a dragon, dined with a king
  And dived in a bottomless ocean.
  I opened a book and made some friends.
  I shared their tears and laughter
  And followed their road with its bumps and bends
  To the happily ever after.
  I finished my book and out I came.
  The cloak can no longer hide me.
  My chair and my house are just the same,
  But I have a book inside me.

• The greatest secret of monarchic rule...is to keep men deceived and to cloak in the specious name of religion the fear by which they must be checked, so that they will fight for slavery as they would for salvation, and will think it not shameful, but a most honorable achievement, to give their life and blood that one man may have a ground for boasting.

• Espero que no perdamos el verdadero objetivo de nuestras preciadas oportunidades de servir. Ese objetivo, esa meta eterna, es la misma de la que habló el Señor y que se encuentra en la Perla de Gran Precio: "Porque he aquí, ésta es mi obra y mi gloria: llevar a cabo la inmortalidad y la vida eterna del hombre". Que recordemos siempre que el manto de ser miembro de La Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días no es un manto de comodidad, sino más bien un manto de responsabilidad. Nuestro deber, además de salvarnos a nosotros mismos, es guiar a los demás al reino celestial de Dios.

• Es lo bastante obvio como para que el lector concluya: "Ella ama al joven Emerson". Un lector en el lugar de Lucy no lo encontraría obvio. La vida es fácil de relatar, pero desconcertante de practicar, y damos la bienvenida a los "nervios" o a cualquier otro shibboleth que encubra nuestro deseo personal. Ella amaba a Cecil; George la ponía nerviosa; ¿le explicará el lector que las frases deberían haberse invertido?

• Una sociedad siempre está dispuesta a cubrir sus fechorías con un manto de olvido, pero ninguna sociedad puede reprimir por completo un pasado horrible cuando los estragos persisten en el presente. Estados Unidos tiene una deuda de justicia que sólo ha empezado a saldar.

• How to forgive the world for its beauty, which merely disguises its ugliness; for its gentleness, which merely cloaks its cruelty; for its illusion of continuity, seamlessly, as the night follows the day, so to speak- whereas in reality life is a series of brutal raptures, falling upon your defenseless hands, like the blows of a woodman's axe?

• You looked at them and wondered why they were so ugly; you looked closely and could not find the source. Then you realized that it came from conviction, their conviction. It was as though some mysterious all-knowing master had given each one a cloak of ugliness to wear, and they had each accepted it without question.

• I finish where I began: Jesus' statement "Come and see" provides both an invitation and a promise to all people everywhere. Come to Him; see Him as King of Kings and Lord of Lords; recognize in Him the great Messiah who will come again with healing in His wings, to set His people free. He will wrap you about in the cloak of His redeeming love, and your life will be changed forever.
