There are no people on earth in whom a spirit of enthusiastic zeal is so readily kindled, and burns so remarkably, as Americans

David McCullough

There is fire and fire: The fire that burns and the fire that gives warmth, a fire that sets a forest ablaze and the fire that puts a cat to sleep. So is it with self-love. The member that once seemed one of the wonders of the world soon becomes as homely as an old slipper. Mathew and himself gradually ceased to excite each other.

Gilbert Adair

Love is that flame that once kindled burns everything, and only the mystery and the journey remain.

Rumi

Awareness is fire; it burns all that is wrong in you. It burns your ego. It burns your greed, it burns your possessiveness, it burns your jealousy - it burns all that is wrong and negative, and it enhances all that is beautiful, graceful, divine.

Rajneesh

The American people are slow to wrath, but when their wrath is once kindled it burns like a consuming flame.

Theodore Roosevelt

As fire kindled by fire, so is the poet's mind kindled by contact with a brother poet.

John Keble

For as fire is kindled by fire, so is a poet's mind kindled by contact with a brother poet.

John Keble

There are moments when our passions speak and decide for us ... like a fire kindled within our being to which everything else in us is mere fuel.

George Eliot

The true saint burns grace like a 747 burns fuel on takeoff.

Dallas Willard

With deep men, as with deep wells, it takes a long time for anything that falls into them to hit bottom. Onlookers, who almost never wait long enough, readily suppose that such men are callous and unresponsive--or even boring.

Friedrich Nietzsche

What are the odds so long as the fire of the soul is kindled at the taper of conviviality, and the wing of friendship never molts a feather?

Charles Dickens

Deep in the human heart The fire of justice burns; A vision of a world renewed Through radical concern.

William Wallace

The sinner is not the one who uses a lot of grace... The saint burns grace like a 747 burns fuel on take off.

Dallas Willard

Because religious training means credulity training, churches should not be surprised to find that so many of their congregations accept astrology as readily as theology, or a channeled Atlantean priest as readily as a biblical prophet.

Barbara G. Walker

Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of - for credit is like fire; when once you have kindled it you may easily preserve it, but if you once extinguish it, you will find it an arduous task to rekindle it again. The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.
