Overshadowing Quotes

• 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.

• Everything we call a trial, a sorrow or a duty, believe me, that angel's hand is there, the gift is there, and the wonder of an overshadowing presence. Our joys, too, be not content with them as joys. They, too, conceal diviner gifts.

• My plan to put Social Security in an ironclad lockbox has gotten a lot of attention recently, and I'm glad about that. But I'm afraid that it's overshadowing some vitally important proposals. For instance, I'll put Medicaid in a walk-in closet. I'll put the Community Reinvestment Act in a secured gym locker. I'll put NASA funding in a hermetically sealed Ziploc bag.

• Life is so generous a giver, but we, judging its gifts by the covering, cast them away as ugly or heavy or hard. Remove the covering and you will find beneath it a living splendor, woven of love, by wisdom, with power.

  Giovanni Giocondo

• The judge's authority depends upon the assumption that he speaks with the mouth of others. That is to say, the momentum of his utterances must be greater than any which his personal reputation and character can command, if it is to do the work assigned to it - if it is to stand against the passionate resentments arising out of the interests he must frustrate - for while a judge must discover some composition with the dominant trends of his times, he must preserve his authority by cloaking himself in the majesty of an overshadowing past.

• The difference between human heroes and sacred characters lies just in this: the man is just a man, but behind the man of God, God Himself is ever standing greater than the man and overshadowing him by His infinite and glorious presence.

• We live in the Age of the Higher Brain, the cerebral cortex that has grown enormously over the last few millennia, overshadowing the ancient, instinctive lower brain. The cortex is often called the new brain, yet the old brain held sway in humans for millions of years, as it does today in most living things. The old brain can't conjure up ideas or read. But it does possess the power to feel and, above all, to be. It was the old brain that caused our forebears to sense the closeness of a mysterious presence everywhere in Nature.

• The turn of the century was the age of the banker, so much so that the leading bankers of the day had become legendary figures in the public imagination-vast, overshadowing behemoths whose colossal power seemed to reach everywhere.

• Todos los seres humanos normales se interesan por su pasado. Sólo cuando el interés se convierte en obsesión, eclipsando la conducta presente y futura, es un peligro. Del mismo modo, las naciones sanas se interesan por su historia, pero una preocupación morbosa por las glorias pasadas es señal de que algo va mal en la constitución del Estado.
