A Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up — © Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up
Sorrow, anger and resentment look back, worry looks around, while faith, hope, and optimism look to the future.
Memories and loneliness look backward, fear looks around, but faith always looks forward.
Faith looks back and draws courage; hope looks ahead, and keeps desire alive.
Mitt Romney looks like a guy modeling briefs on a package of underwear ... He looks like a guy who goes to the restroom when the check comes ... He looks like a guy who would run a seminar on condo flipping ... He looks like he is the closer at a Cadillac dealership.... He looks like that guy on the golf course in the Levitra commercial.
It is faith that looks up at the creator God and knows him to be the God of love. And it is faith that looks out at the world with the longing to bring that love to bear in healing reconciliation, and hope.
Pride looks back upon its past deeds, and calculating with nicety what it has done, it commits itself to rest; whereas humility looks to that which is before, and discovering how much ground remains to be trodden, it is active and vigilant. Having gained one height, pride looks down with complacency on that which is beneath it; humility looks up to a higher and yet higher elevation. The one keeps us on this earth, which is congenial to its nature; the other directs our eye, and tends to lift us up to heaven.
Have you noticed how nobody ever looks up? Nobody looks at chimneys, or trees against the sky, or the tops of buildings. Everybody just looks down at the pavement or their shoes. The whole world could pass them by and most people wouldn't notice.
But his words fall away. He looks confused. He looks flustered and sorry. Like you do when you run up to someone you think you know and take her arm and she turns around and you were wrong.
Love looks forward, hate looks back, anxiety has eyes all over its head.
Sometimes, when you go to airport and look at the people, you see the worst looks - but the worst looks can give you more ideas than the best looks.
If you have your own taste, you know what looks right and what looks good on you versus someone kind of telling you what looks good on you.
Before Jem looks at anyone else he looks at me, and I’ve tried to live so I can look squarely back at him.
Vision looks inwards and becomes duty. Vision looks outwards and becomes aspiration. Vision looks upwards and becomes faith.
What looks like crazy on an ordinary day looks looks a lot like love if you catch it in the moonlight.
I like that Sarah Palin. She looks like the flight attendant who won't give you a second can of Pepsi ... She looks like the nurse who weighs you and then makes you sit alone in your underwear for 20 minutes ... She looks like a real estate agent whose picture you see on the bus stop bench ... She looks like the hygienist who makes you feel guilty about not flossing ... She looks like the relieved mom in a Tide commercial.
Faith looks to the word and the promise; that is, to the truth. But hope looks to that which the word has promised, to the gift .
