If the rain spoils our picnic, but saves a farmer's crop, who are we to say it shouldn't rain?

Tom Barrett

If you meet a sectary, or a hostile partisan, never recognize the dividing lines; but meet on what common ground remains,--if onlythat the sun shines, and the rain rains for both; the area will widen very fast, and ere you know it the boundary mountains, on which the eye had fastened, have melted into air.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Let’s suppose that rain washes out a picnic. Who is feeling negative? The rain? Or you? What’s causing the negative feeling? The rain or your reaction? When you bump your knee against a table, the table’s fine. It’s busy being what it was made to be – a table. The pain is in your knee, not in the table. The mystics keep trying to tell us that reality is all right. Reality is not problematic. Problems exist only in the human mind. We might add: in the stupid, sleeping human mind.

Anthony de Mello

Mountains in all their moods are symbols of something greater, something worth aspiring to. Mountains are powerful, dangerous, beautiful, noble and mysterious. Mountains get respect.

Robert Genn

One thing I hold against Americans is that they have no flair for the rain. They seem unsettled by it; it's against them: they take it as an assault, an inconvenience! But rain is so wonderfully cleansing, so refreshing, so calming...

Diana Vreeland

Rejection is part of the process, so you can't let it crush you. My first three novels never made it into publication, but my fourth, 'Sheltering Rain,' was translated into 11 languages.

Jojo Moyes

I’ll affect you slowly as if you were having a picnic in a dream. There will be no ants. It won’t rain.

Richard Brautigan

In Ireland we have a very old saying, When you can see the mountains it's going to rain and when you can't see the mountains it's raining.

David Allen

My dream date would be a hike through the woods followed by an outdoor picnic followed by a glass of wine at sunset. Heaven!

Nina Agdal

The first stab of love is like a sunset, a blaze of color - oranges, pearly pinks, vibrant purples.

Anna Godbersen

I’m not dangerous,” I breathed. He brought his face toward mine. “You are to me.” And somehow, against all reason, we were kissing.

Richelle Mead

How fragile we are under the sheltering sky. Behind the sheltering sky is a vast dark universe, and we're just so small.

Paul Bowles

The mountains are dangerous. Only an unintelligent person will say they are not dangerous.

Reinhold Messner

Before practicing meditation, we see that mountains are mountains. When we start to practice, we see that mountains are no longer mountains. After practicing a while, we see that mountains are again mountains. Now the mountains are very free. Our mind is still with the mountains, but it is no longer bound to anything.

Nhat Hanh

The ideal protective layer for a lithium metal anode needs to be chemically stable to protect against the chemical reactions with the electrolyte and mechanically strong to withstand the expansion of the lithium during charge.

Steven Chu

Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby. The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk. The rain makes running pools in the gutter. The rain plays a little sellp-song on our roof at night- And I love the rain.

Langston Hughes
