Does Lightning Only Strikes

Quote Author

Ovid
Roman - Poet
43 BC - 17 AD

There are two kinds of geniuses. The characteristic of the one is roaring, but the lightning is meagre and rarely strikes; the other kind is characterized by reflection by which it constrains itself or restrains the roaring. But the lightning is all the more intense; with the speed and sureness of lightning it hits the selected particular points - and is fatal.

Soren Kierkegaard

When the lightning strikes one of us, it strikes both

F. Scott Fitzgerald

They say that lightning never strikes in the same place twice, but the same is not true for courage. As it turns out, when courage strikes, it almost always begets more courage.

Kathi Appelt

Lightning strikes the tops of the mountains.

Horace

A mere nothing suffices — and the lightning strikes.

Hermann Hesse

Lightning makes no sound until it strikes.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

It is always our treasure that the lightning strikes.

Harriet Beecher Stowe

Lightning never strikes twice in the same place.

Why must we love where the lightning strikes, and not where we choose?

Nothing is so beautiful as spring - when weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush; Thrush's eggs look little low heavens, and thrush through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring the ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.

Gerard Manley Hopkins

Censure is like the lightning which strikes the highest mountains.

Baltasar Gracian

The lofty pine is oftenest shaken by the winds; High towers fall with a heavier crash; And the lightning strikes the highest mountain.

Horace

Love comes like lightning, and disappears the same way. If you are lucky, it strikes you right. If not, you'll spend your life yearning for a man you can't have.
