A Quote by Janni Lee Simner

Blessed are the powers that grant me magic. I promise to use their gift well. To help mend my world. To help mend all worlds. And should I forget to mend, Should I refuse to mend, Still I will remember To do no harm.

If we would mend the World, we should mend Ourselves; and teach our Children to be, not what we are, but what they should be.

William Penn

There are hearts, reader, that never mend again once they are broken. Or if they do mend, they heal themselves in a crooked and lopsided way, as if sewn together by a careless craftsman.

Kate DiCamillo

Why do you ever mend your clothes, unless that, wearing them, you may mend your ways. Let us sing.

Henry David Thoreau

Bid the dishonest man mend himself; if he mend, he is no longer dishonest.

William Shakespeare

I don't despise you for what you allowed to happen to me. I despise you because when I was released, you refused to be found and I needed you more than anything in my life. Not to mend my broken bones, Arjuro. I needed my brother to mend my broken spirit.

Melina Marchetta

Prayer cannot bring water to parched fields, or mend a broken bridge, or rebuild a ruined city; but prayer can water an arid soul, mend a broken heart, and rebuild a weakened will.

Abraham Joshua Heschel

To read and write will help you understand life. . .to sew and mend will help you survive it.

Gail Tsukiyama

He that resolves to mend hereafter, resolves not to mend now.

Benjamin Franklin

My heart is broke, but I have some glue, help me inhale and mend it with you.

Kurt Cobain

The verb 'to darn' is explained in my pocket dictionary as follows: 'To mend by imitating the texture of the stuff, with thread and needle.' But this definition does not correspond to the work accomplished by good Chinese housewives. When they mend a sock, they do not try 'to imitate the texture of the stuff'. Their art makes no attempt at concealment: it even takes a certain pride in revealing itself.

Daniele Vare

America is not fighting to win a war. We are fighting to give an application to an old Greek proverb, which is that the purpose of war is not to annihilate an enemy but to get him to mend his ways. And we are confident we can get the enemy to mend his.

Arthur Goldberg

Conservationists have, I fear, adopted the pedagogical method of the prophets: we mutter darkly about impending doom if people don't mend their ways. The doom is impending, all right; no one can be an ecologist, even an amateur one, without seeing it. But do people mend their ways for fear of calamity? I doubt it. They are more likely to do it out of pure curiosity and interest.

Aldo Leopold

Anything you do from the soulful self will help lighten the burdens of the world. Anything. You have no idea what the smallest word, the tiniest generosity, can cause to be set in motion...Mend the part of the world that is within your reach.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes

It is vain and useless to survey everything that goes on in the world if our study does not help us mend our ways.

Madeleine de Souvre, marquise de Sable

Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely. It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes

The Board of Trade Make Do and Mend campaign is intended to help you get the last ounce of wear out of all your clothes
