His Honey Speech Sweeter Than Tongue

Quote Author

Homer
Greek - Poet

The spirit of humility is sweeter than honey, and those who nourish themselves with this honey produce sweet fruit.

Anthony of Padua

Hypocrisy is wretched because the hypocrite says with his tongue what is not in his heart. He wrongs his tongue and oppresses his heart. But if the heart is sound, the condition of the tongue follows suit. We are commanded to be upright in speech, which is a gauge of the heart's state.

Hamza Yusuf

No honey is sweeter than that of knowledge.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Pak-China friendship is higher than Himalayas, deeper than ocean, sweeter than honey, and stronger than steel.

Shehbaz Sharif

Nothing but Money, Is sweeter than Honey.

Benjamin Franklin

It [revenge] is sweeter far than flowing honey.

Homer

Silence sweeter is than speech.

Dinah Maria Murlock Craik

You are good when you are fully awake in your speech, Yet you are not evil when you sleep while your tongue staggers without purpose. And even stumbling speech may strengthen a weak tongue.

Khalil Gibran

If God had not made brown honey, men would think figs much sweeter than they do.

Xenophanes

How little you know about the age you live in if you think that honey is sweeter than cash in hand

Ovid

Anger, which, far sweeter than trickling drops of honey, rises in the bosom of a man like smoke.

Homer

Grace does not demonize our desires nor destroy them nor lead us to deny them. Grace is the work of the Holy Spirit in transforming our desires so that knowing Jesus becomes sweeter than illicit sex, sweeter than money and what it can buy, sweeter than every fruitless joy. Grace is God satisfying our souls with His Son so that we're ruined for anything else!

Sam Storms

When a man sought knowledge, it would not be long before it could be seen in his humbleness, his sight, upon his tongue and his hands, in his prayer, in his speech and in his disinterest (zuhd) in worldly allurements. And a man would acquire a portion of knowledge and put it into practice, and it would be better for him than the world and all it contains - if he owned it he would give it in exchange for the hereafter.

Hasan of Basra

There are few things sweeter in this world than the guileless, hotheaded, intemperate, open admiration of a junior. Even a woman in her blindest devotion does not fall into the gait of the man she adores, tilt her bonnet to the angle at which he wears his hat, or interlard her speech with his pet oaths.

Rudyard Kipling

I wish that strife would vanish away from among gods and mortals, and gall, which makes a man grow angry for all his great mind, that gall of anger that swarms like smoke inside of a man's heart and becomes a thing sweeter to him by far than the dripping of honey.

Homer

To be forgiven is such sweetness that honey is tasteless in comparison with it. But yet there is one thing sweeter still, and that is to forgive. As it is more blessed to give than to receive, so to forgive rises a stage higher in experience than to be forgiven.

Charles Spurgeon
