We can set our deeds to the music of a grateful heart, and seek to round our lives into a hymn — the melody of which will be recognized by all who come in contact with us, and the power of which shall not be evanescent, like the voice of the singer, but perennial, like the music of the spheres.
William Mackergo TaylorRead
There was never a time when the world began, because it goes round and round like a circle, and there is no place on a circle where it begins. Look at my watch, which tells the time; it goes round, and so the world repeats itself again and again.
Alan WattsRead
Ever the words of the gods resound; But the porches of man's ear seldom in this low life's round are unsealed, that he may hear.
Ralph Waldo EmersonRead
And when a damp Fell round the path of Milton, in his hand The thing became a trumpet; whence he blew Soul-animating strains,-alas! too few.
William WordsworthRead
I was training to be an electrician. I suppose I got wired the wrong way round somewhere along the line.
Elvis PresleyRead
In the afternoon they came unto a land_x000D_ _x000D_ In which it seemed always afternoon._x000D_ _x000D_ All round the coast the languid air did swoon,_x000D_ _x000D_ Breathing like one that hath a weary dream.
Alfred Lord TennysonRead
While most of those who hold that the whole heaven is finite say that the earth lies at the center, the philosophers of Italy, the so-called Pythagoreans, assert the contrary. They say that in the middle there is fire, and that the earth is one of the stars, and by its circular motion round the center produces night and day.
AristotleRead
The Bourne Underneath the growing grass, Underneath the living flowers, Deeper than the sound of showers: There we shall not count the hours By the shadows as they pass. Youth and health will be but vain, Beauty reckoned of no worth: There a very little girth Can hold round what once the earth Seemed too narrow to contain.
Christina RossettiRead
. . . More things are wrought by prayer Than this world dreams of. Wherefore let thy voice Rise like a fountain for me night and day. For what are men better than sheeps or goats That nourish a blind life within the brain, If, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer Not only for themselves but for those who call them friend? For so this whole round earth is every way Bound by gold chains about the feet of God.
Alfred Lord TennysonRead
I never went into a tournament or round of golf thinking I had to beat a certain player. I had to beat the golf course. If I prepared myself for a major, went in focused, and then beat the golf course, the rest took care of itself.
Jack NicklausRead
I have really enjoyed every minute I have spent in golf- above all, the many wonderful friends I have made. I have loved playing the game and practicing it. Whether my schedule for the following day called for a tournament round or merely a trip to the practice tee, the prospect that there was going to be golf in it made me feel privileged and extremely happy, and I couldn't wait for the sun to come up the next morning so that I could get out on the course again
Ben HoganRead
Burning hot is the ground, liquid gold is the air; Whoever looks round sees Eternity there.
John ClareRead
With all this darkness round me I feel less alone.
Samuel BeckettRead
The man who can see all gray, and red, and purples in a peach, will paint the peach rightly round, and rightly altogether. But the man who has only studied its roundness may not see its purples and grays, and if he does not will never get it to look like a peach; so that great power over color is always a sign of large general art-intellect.
John RuskinRead
It should seem that it is easier to square the circle than to get round a mathematician.
Augustus De MorganRead
The world is a wheel, and it will all come round right.
Benjamin DisraeliRead
I knew I had him in the first round. Almighty God was with me. I want everyone to bear witness, I am the greatest! I'm the greatest thing that ever lived. I don't have a mark on my face, and I upset Sonny Liston, and I just turned twenty-two years old. I must be the greatest. I showed the world. I talk to God everyday. I know the real God. I shook up the world, I'm the king of the world. You must listen to me. I am the greatest! I can't be beat!
Muhammad AliRead
The House_x000D_ _x000D_ ...She lays her beams in music,_x000D_ In music everyone,_x000D_ To the cadence of the whirling world_x000D_ Which dances around the sun-_x000D_ That so they shall not be displaced_x000D_ By lapses or by wars,_x000D_ But for the love of happy souls_x000D_ Outlive the newest stars.
Ralph Waldo EmersonRead
Come knit hands, and beat the ground in a light fantastic round
John MiltonRead
You know, the man of my dreams might walk round the corner tomorrow. I'm older and wiser and I think I'd make a great girlfriend. I live in the realm of romantic possibility.
Stevie NicksRead
They will often tell me they can't love themselves because they are so fat, or as one girl put it, 'too round at the edges.' I explain that they are fat because they don't love themselves. When we begin to love and approve of ourselves, it's amazing how weight just disappears from our bodies.
Louise HayRead
