A Quote by Gustav Holst

One of the advantages of being over forty is that one begins to learn the difference between knowing and realising. — © Gustav Holst
One of the advantages of being over forty is that one begins to learn the difference between knowing and realising.
There is a vast difference between merely knowing about Christ and actually knowing Him-the difference between heaven and hell.
People between twenty and forty are not sympathetic. The child has the capacity to do but it can't know. It only knows when it is no longer able to do -after forty. Between twenty and forty the will of the child to do gets stronger, more dangerous, but it has not begun to learn to know yet. Since his capacity to do is forced into channels of evil through environment and pressures, man is strong before he is moral. The world's anguish is caused by people between twenty and forty.
The difference between a job and a career is the difference between forty and sixty hours a week.
Mothers know the difference between a broth and a consommé. And the difference between damask and chintz. And the difference between vinyl and Naugahyde. And the difference between a house and a home. And the difference between a romantic and a stalker. And the difference between a rock and a hard place.
The difference between the mile and the marathon is the difference between burning your fingers with a match and being slowly roasted over hot coals.
Consciousness is not the ineluctable starting point for self-understanding because there is a difference between being conscious and understanding oneself as a conscious being. The difference is between being in a certain state and knowing oneself to be in a certain state.
What's the difference between being dead, and just not knowing you're alive?
There is a difference between listening and hearing, just as there is a difference between seeing and knowing.
Ask yourself, 'what's more important - being real and being myself, or becoming successful? And ask the question knowing that you never actually have to choose between being real and being successful. You simply have to choose between being realand striving to be successful. Get the difference?
I always think about what's the difference between being tenacious and having an inability to learn from failures. The difference between the homeless guy who wanted to be a great painter and the guy who is a great painter could be anything.
The difference between being a part-time writer and a full-time writer is like the difference between dating someone and living with them. Some of the romance is gone, but you learn things you'd never know just by dating.
There is a difference between being offended and being prejudiced and even being bigoted against. There's a difference between that and racism.
It is not just that we exist and God has always existed, it is also that God necessarily exists in an infinitely better, stronger, more excellent way. The difference between God's being and ours is more than the difference between the sun and a candle, more than the difference between the ocean and a raindrop... God's being is qualitatively different.
Our conditioning program begins the first day of class. The running portion is very demanding. It has physiological advantages, as well as psychological advantages.
From their struggles to establish dominance over each other, siblings become tougher and more resilient. From their endless rough-housing with each other, they develop speed and agility. From their verbal sparring they learn the difference between being clever and being hurtful. From the normal irritations of living together, they learn how to assert themselves, defend themselves, compromise. And sometimes, from their envy of each other's special abilities they become inspired to work harder, persist and achieve.
Knowing makes all the difference... It's the difference between just trying to keep alive, and having something to live for
