| Quote:Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.[Henry Ford] Quote:If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:What seem our worst prayers may really be, in God's eyes, our best. Those, I mean, which are least supported by devotional feeling.

Lewis] Quote:If you surveyed a hundred typical middle-aged Americans, I bet you'd find that only two of them could tell you their blood types, but every last one of them would know the theme song from The Beverly Hillbillies.[Dave Barry] Quote:The information encoded in your DNA determines your unique biological characteristics, such as sex, eye color, age and Social Security number.[Dave Barry] Quote:The only kind of seafood I trust is the fish stick, a totally featureless fish that doesn't have eyeballs or fins.[Dave Barry] Quote:There are no seeing eye cats, of course, because the sole function of cats, in the Great Chain of Life, is to cause harm to human beings.[Dave Barry] Quote:Men are born with two eyes, but only one tongue, in order that they should see twice as much as they say.[Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:The mind does not create what it perceives, any more than the eye creates the rose.[Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:I shut my eyes in order to see.[Paul Gauguin] Quote:TV is chewing gum for the eyes.[Frank Lloyd Wright] Quote:An eye for an eye, and soon the whole world is blind.[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:The mind of a bigot is like the pupil of the eye. The more light you shine on it, the more it will contract.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all thirty feet tall.[Larry Wilde] Quote:But could not our situation be compared to one of a menacing epidemic? People are unable to view this situation in its true light, for their eyes are blinded by passion. General fear and anxiety create hatred and aggressiveness. The adaptation to warlike aims and activities has corrupted the mentality of man; as a result, intelligent, objective and humane thinking has hardly any effect and is even suspected and persecuted as unpatriotic.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Just as your hand, held before the eye, can hide the tallest mountain, so this small earthly life keeps us from seeing the vast radiance that fills the core of the universe.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:In the past decade or so, the women's magazines have taken to running home-handyperson articles suggesting that women can learn to fix things just as well as men. These articles are apparently based on the ludicrous assumption that men know how to fix things, when in fact all they know how to do is look at things in a certain squinty-eyed manner, which they learned in Wood Shop; eventually, when enough things in the home are broken, they take a job requiring them to transfer to another home.[Dave Barry] Quote:Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man?s original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:If you go flying back through time, and you see somebody else flying forward into the future, it's probably best to avoid eye contact.[Jack Handey] Quote:Once you have flown, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been, and there you long to return.[Leonardo da Vinci] Quote:One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:O, beware, my lord, of jealousy!<br>It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock<br>The meat it feeds on. [William Shakespeare] Quote:One cannot fix one's eyes on the commonest natural production without finding food for a rambling fancy. [Jane Austen] Quote:Marriage is the union of disparate elements. Male and female. Yin and yang. Proton and electron. What are we talking about here? Nothing less than the very tension that binds the universe. You see, when we look at marriage, people, we're are looking at creation itself. "I am the sky," says the Hindu bridegroom to the bride. "You are the earth. We are sky and earth united.... You are my husband. You are my wife. My feet shall run because of you. My feet shall dance because of you. My heart shall beat because of you. My eyes see because of you. My mind thinks because of you and I shall love because of you." [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Electricity is actually made up of extremely tiny particles called electrons, that you cannot see with the naked eye unless you have been drinking.
