Pardon me, O perfections of my God, for having preferred imperfect and evil inclinations to Thee! Pardon me, O justice of my God, for having outraged Thee by my sins. Pardon me, O holiness of my God, for having so long stained Thy sight's purity by my sins. Pardon me, O mercy of my God, for having despised so long Thy mercy's voice. In deep sorrow and contrition, I cast myself at Thy feet: Have mercy on me.

Ignatius of Loyola

You know, people talk about this being an uncertain time. You know, all time is uncertain. I mean, it was uncertain back in - in 2007, we just didn't know it was uncertain. It was - uncertain on September 10th, 2001. It was uncertain on October 18th, 1987, you just didn't know it.

Warren Buffett

Likewise the piercing of the body for multiple rings in the ears, in the nose, even in the tongue. Can they possibly think that is beautiful? It is a passing fancy, but its effects can be permanent. Some have gone to such extremes that the ring had to be removed by surgery. The First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve have declared that we discourage tattoos and also “the piercing of the body for other than medical purposes.” We do not, however, take any position “on the minimal piercing of the ears by women for one pair of earrings”-one pair only.

Gordon B. Hinckley

The future was uncertain, absolutely, and there were many hurdles, twists, and turns to come, but as long as I kept moving forward, one foot in front of the other, the voices of fear and shame, the messages from those who wanted me to believe that I wasn't good enough, would be stilled.

Chris Gardner

The tongue offends and the ears get the cuffing

Benjamin Franklin

This is courtship all the world over - the man all tongue; the woman all ears.

Emily Murphy

We have two ears and one tongue so that we would listen more and talk less.

Diogenes

It was in Cardiff, and the cast was 60 per cent Welsh-speaking. It's the first time I've walked into a rehearsal room speaking my mother tongue, which in itself was a breath of fresh clean air from the Welsh mountains. Singing Hans Sachs is always a milestone, but I was happy to be part of such an achievement, not personally but as a company.

Bryn Terfel

The old saying goes, 'Hit me with a cast once, shame on me, hit me with a cast twice, you're a dead man.'

Tommaso Ciampa

I should sell my tongue and buy a thousand ears when that One steps near and begins to speak.

Rumi

Every real thing is a joy, if only you have eyes and ears to relish it, a nose and tongue to taste it.

Robert Farrar Capon

Any time you cast an actor, you don't just cast that actor; you cast all their other performances as well.

Sonya Walger

Shame has its place. Shame is what you do to a kid to stop them running on the road. And then you take the shame away, and immediately, they're back in the fold. You should never soak anybody in shame. It's the prolonged existence of shame that then flips out into destructive rage. We can't exist in that. It's like treacle.

Hannah Gadsby

Nature hath given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.

Epictetus

If toes had eyes, then I could see how my feet know where to go, but toes are blind. And how is it that my tongue speaks words it cannot hear? Because for all its eloquence, the tongue itself is deaf, and flaps in soundlessness.

Jane Roberts

When you look at the Nixon pardon, the short-term gain would have been never to pardon him.
