Forty years spent in wandering in a wilderness like that of the present is not a sad fate - unless one attempts to make himself believe that the wilderness is after all itself the promised land.

John Dewey

The Promised Land always lies on the other side of a Wilderness.

Havelock Ellis

Take courage. We walk in the wilderness today and in the Promised Land tomorrow

Dwight L. Moody

Sometimes you have to go through the wilderness before you get to the Promised Land.

John Bytheway

Wilderness is a temporary condition through which we are passing to the Promised Land.

Cotton Mather

Black people have always been America's wilderness in search of a promised land.

Cornel West

All arguments are meaningless until we gain personal experience. One must win one's own place in the spiritual world painfully and alone. There is no other way of salvation. The Promised Land always lies on the other side of a wilderness.

Havelock Ellis

Until we find the meaning of the stories in our lives we're destined to wander in a wilderness even though we're in a promised land.

Jane Kirkpatrick

The Promised Land, for many people, though, is something that's far off in the future. People are saved, but they don't feel victory. They feel like they're in a wilderness and they're wandering. And so this book of Joshua gives us a picture of how we can come out of the wilderness in our own spiritual lives and enter into a season of victory.

Max Lucado

Don't complain. The Israelites wasted forty years murmuring and complaining in the wilderness, when they could have just obeyed God and entered into their Promised Land.

Joyce Meyer

Seek a happy marriage with wholeness of heart, but do not expect to reach the promised land without going through some wilderness together.

Charlie W Shedd

We've not reached the promised land. We're still wandering around, bumping into each other in the wilderness of ignorance and hate. That is why the King holiday is so important.

Yolanda King

You have asked me to lead this nation out of the present wilderness and malaise on to the promised land, and I shall do so; I shall offer a responsive, transparent, and innovative leadership.

Mwai Kibaki

Wilderness gave us knowledge. Wilderness made us human. We came from here. Perhaps that is why so many of us feel a strong bond to this land called Serengeti; it is the land of our youth.

Boyd Norton

And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the promised land

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Instead of passing blithely over into that Promised Land, flowing almost literally with milk and honey, it may be our destiny to wander a full 40 years or more in the wilderness of doubt and divided sentiments.

Benjamin Graham
