Be not afraid of those trials which God may see fit to send upon thee. It is with the wind and the storm of tribulation that God, in the garner of the soul, separates the true wheat from the chaff. Always remember, therefore, that God comes to thee in thy sorrows as really as in thy joys. He lays low and He builds up. Thou wilt find thyself far from perfection if thou dost not find God in everything.

Miguel de Molinos

An editor is someone who separates the wheat from the chaff and then prints the chaff.

Adlai Stevenson I

As soon seek roses in December, ice in June, Hope constancy in wind, or corn in chaff Believe a woman or an epitaph Or any other thing that’s false Before you trust in critics.

Lord Byron

The Lord uses his flail of tribulation to separate the chaff from the wheat.

John Bunyan

Corn is cleaned with wind, and the Soul with chastening

George Herbert

As threshing separates the wheat from the chaff, so does affliction purify virtue.

Christian Nestell Bovee

The wind that makes music in November corn is in a hurry. The stalks hum, the loose husks whisk skyward in half-playing swirls, and the wind hurries on.... A tree tries to argue, bare limbs waving, but there is no detaining the wind.

Aldo Leopold

I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul Where I end up, well, I think only God really knows.

Cat Stevens

Thou art never at any time nearer to God than when under tribulation; which He permits for the purification and beautifying of thy soul.

Miguel de Molinos

Those speak foolishly who ascribe their anger or their impatience to such as offend them or to tribulation. Tribulation does not make people impatient, but proves that they are impatient. So everyone may learn from tribulation how his heart is constituted.

Martin Luther

A man pleaser cannot be true to God, because he is a servant to the enemies of his service; the wind of a man's mouth will drive him about as the chaff, from any duty, and to any sin.

Richard Baxter

Love is as strong as death, as hard as Hell. Death separates the soul from the body, but love separates all things from the soul.

Meister Eckhart

Newspaper editors are men who separate the wheat from the chaff, and then print the chaff.

Adlai Stevenson I

Editor: a person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to see that the chaff is printed.

Elbert Hubbard

You know they call corn-on-the-cob, "corn-on-the-cob", but that's how it comes out of the ground. They should just call it corn, and every other type of corn, corn-off-the-cob. It's not like if someone cut off my arm they would call it "Mitch", but then re-attached it, and call it "Mitch-all-together".
