Army Kings Many Ruin Too

Quote Author

Homer
Greek - Poet

[The Book of the Law]was lost for so many years. And then Josiah decided to celebrate Passover. The text says that "The Passover sacrifice had not been offered in that way ... during the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah" [2 Kings 23:22]. What do you mean? Not in the days of David and Solomon? Never before? And what of the days of the prophets? What happened? That's what I'm anguishing over. If the Book of the Law could be forgotten for so many years, who knows what was done to it during those years? Maybe it was lost later, too.

Elie Wiesel

Trusting too much to others care is the ruin of many.

Benjamin Franklin

If there is a God, the King of kings, there is also a Kingdom. If there is a Kingdom, there must also be an army. Now the question is, are you in this army and are you willing to fight for your King?

Artur Pawlowski

Plots, true or false, are necessary things, To raise up commonwealths and ruin kings.

John Dryden

we live in a world of excess: too many kinds of coffee, too many magazines, too many types of bread, too many digital recordings of Beethoven's Ninth, too many choices of rearview mirrors on the latest Renault. Sometimes you say to yourself: It's too much, it's all too much.

Corinne Maier

Kings built tombs more splendid than the houses of the living and counted the names of their descent dearer than the names of their sons. Childless lords sat in aged halls musing on heraldry or in high cold towers asking questions of the stars. And so the kingdom of Gondor sank into ruin, the line of kings failed, the white tree withered and the rule of Gondor was given over to lesser men.

J. R. R. Tolkien

My dad was in the Army. The Army's not great pay, but, you know, we moved from Army patch to Army patch wherever that was. The Army also contributed to sending me off to boarding school.

James Blunt

Over the years, I have seen too many politicians ruin their careers because they could not accept defeat graciously.

Jean Chretien

I've never commercialized my music. I've seen that ruin too many people who think two-minute ditties are the answer.

Rory Gallagher

We saw too much beauty to be cynical, felt too much joy to be dismissive, climbed too many mountains to be quitters, kissed too many girls to be deceivers, saw too many sunrises not to be believers, broke too many strings to be pro's and gave too much love to be concerned where it goes.

Glen Hansard

Talk about dues, we paid a damn ton of 'em. So many that if things ever went too smoothly, it would ruin the group.

Ronnie Van Zant

What infinite heart's-ease Must kings neglect that private men enjoy! And what have kings that privates have not too, Save ceremony, save general ceremony?

William Shakespeare

Too many cars, too many factories, too much detergent, too much pesticides, multiplying contrails, inadequate sewage treatment plants, too little water, too much carbon dioxide - all can be traced easily to too many people.

Paul R. Ehrlich

Too many of Montana's own have fallen in the line of duty fighting radical Islamic terrorists, like 31-year-old husband and father of four, Blackfeet warrior Army Corporal Tony 'Many Hides' of Great Falls.

Ryan Zinke

Nature is not a temple, but a ruin. A beautiful ruin, but a ruin all the same.

J. B. MacKinnon

I barely ever reread the chapter before posting, because I overthink things, and I feel like overediting or trying to use too many words can ruin the story.
