Don't be afraid of pressure. Pressure is what transforms a lump of coal into a diamond.
By creating a context of pressure, I can exact more preciseness, more brilliance. It's just as if coal is subjected to enormous pressure, you can get a diamond.
I have forgiven myself; I'll make a change. Once that forgiveness has taken place you can console yourself with the knowledge that a diamond is the result of extreme pressure. Less pressure is crystal, less than that is coal, less than that is fossilized leaves or plain dirt. Pressure can change you into something quite precious, quite wonderful, quote beautiful and extremely hard.
I'm like coal under pressure. I turn into a diamond.
A diamond is a chunk of coal that is made good under pressure.
Without a whole lot of pressure, a diamond is just a piece of coal.
The only difference between black coal and a precious diamond is the amount of pressure it endured.
Pressure can burst a pipe, or pressure can make a diamond.
A diamond is just a lump of coal that stuck to its job.
Guess what it is that turns plants to coal. Pressure. Guess what it is that turns limestone to marble. Pressure. Guess what it is that turns Briony's heart to stone. Pressure. Pressure is uncomfortable, but so are the gallows. Keep your secrets, wolfgirl. Dance your fists with Eldric's, snatch lightning from the gods. Howl at the moon, at the blood-red moon. Let your mouth be a cavern of stars.
Inside every lump of coal there's a diamond waiting to get out.
Pressure? What pressure? Pressure is poor people in the world trying to feed their families. There is no pressure in football
I don't feel pressure in a negative way. I like pressure. I feel excitement and calm at the same time. No pressure, no diamonds. I want pressure: pressure creates drama, creates emotion.
Jesus lost all his glory so that we could be clothed in it. He was shut out so we could get access. He was bound, nailed, so that we could be free. He was cast out so we could approach. And Jesus took away the only kind of suffering that can really destroy you: that is being cast away from God. He took so that now all suffering that comes into your life will only make you great. A lump of coal under pressure becomes a diamond. And the suffering of a person in Christ only turns you into somebody gorgeous.
Nothing counts but pressure, pressure, more pressure, and still more pressure through broad organized aggressive mass action.
Pressure is working down the pit. Pressure is having no work at all. Pressure is trying to escape relegation on 50 shillings a week. Pressure is not the European Cup or the Championship or the Cup Final. That's the reward.
I like pressure. Pressure doesn't make me crack. It's enabling. I eat pressure, and there might be times when I get a bad feeling in my gut that this might be too much, but you feel pressure when you're not doing something, you know?
