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, 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

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

Havelock Ellis

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballot; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountain top and pointed the way to the Promised Land. Yes we can!

Barack Obama

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

No one escapes the wilderness on the way to the promised land.

Annie Dillard

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

Why do they kill people of other religions because of religion? Why do they hate the Israelis and despise their right to exist? Why do they hate each other? Why do Sunnis kill Shiites? How do they tell the difference? They all look the same to me.

Trent Lott

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

Dwight L. Moody

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

Cotton Mather

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

John Bytheway

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

Cornel West

In films people basically work for the camera, you know, and that's why actors can hate each other and not be speaking to each other and still look as if they're in love because really they're loving the camera loving them.

Francesca Annis

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

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.
