Roy Lessin

He who seeks, finds, and who knocks, will be let in.

Nick Cave

He who always seeks more light the more he finds, and finds more the more he seeks, is one of the few happy mortals who take and give in every point of time. The tide and ebb of giving and receiving is the sum of human happiness, which he alone enjoys who always wishes to acquire new knowledge, and always finds it.

Johann Kaspar Lavater

And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

Luke the Evangelist

He who seeks rest finds boredom. He who seeks work finds rest.

Dylan Thomas

Some people are very earnest after the things of God, and he who seeks finds, and the more he seeks in the right direction the more he finds. He that is dilatory in searching after the things of God, obtains but little; he that is diligent obtains much. All may receive it, but they must obtain it in the way that God has appointed, all receiving their measure according to their diligence and desire; but the spirit is the same.

Charles W. Penrose

A man finds love and is satisfied. A woman finds love and insists on turning it into happiness.

Robert Breault

Away with the one who is always seeking, for he never finds anything; for he is seeking where nothing can be found. Away with the one who is always knocking, for he knocks where there is no one to open; away with the one who is always asking, for he asks of one who does not hear.

Tertullian

He who wants to do good knocks at the gate: he who loves finds the door open.

Rabindranath Tagore

The intellect seeks, the heart finds.

George Sand

The scholar seeks truth, the artist finds.

Andre Gide

No journey is too great, when one finds what one seeks.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The enthusiast always finds the master, the masters, whom he seeks. Always genius seeks genius, desires nothing so much as to be a pupil and to find those who can lend it aid to perfect itself.
