A Quote by Shunryu Suzuki

A tiger does not ignore or slight any small animal. The way he catches a mouse and catches and devours a cow are the same.

The fishhook catches the fish; the truth catches the lie; the death catches the life; the love catches the hate!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

Memory is like a spiderweb that catches new information. The more it catches, the bigger it grows. And the bigger it grows, the more it catches.

Joshua Foer

If a dog happens to catch a rabbit or another animal, it can very easily remove the hide. If a cat catches a squirrel, they have no trouble with that. But if a person does that, they will work all day and all night to get the skin off of an animal, because they don't have long canine teeth anymore.

Neal Barnard

The early bird catches the worm. But I have never been one for worms. I am not sure what the late bird catches, but I will feast with him today. Probably porridge.

Donald Miller

Any song that does well, we're happy with. All we can do is keep writing great songs and hope that one catches on.

When you're traveling, it's easy to ignore your situation. But once the dust settles, it catches up with you.

Bonobo

A funny thing about near-future stories: the future catches up to them. If the author is unlucky, the future catches up faster than the book can get out the door.

Edward M. Lerner

It's so exciting when a book catches traction you didn't even expect (or completely did expect!), and so frustrating when a book never quite catches the traction you know it deserves. But either way it doesn't change the book, it doesn't change how much I love that book, or how thrilled I am to be publishing it.

Silently the animal catches our glance. The animal looks at us, and whether we look away (from the animal, our plate, our concern, ourselves) or not, we are exposed. Whether we change our lives or do nothing, we have responded. To do nothing is to do something

Jonathan Safran Foer

I do not believe that we can put into anyone ideas which are not in him already. As a rule there are in everyone all sorts of good ideas, ready like tinder. But much of this tinder catches fire, or catches it successfully, only when it meets some flame or spark from outside, i.e., from some other person.

Albert Schweitzer

Law is a silvery web that lets the big flies pass and catches all the small ones.

Honore de Balzac

Time is the tiger that devours me, but I am that tiger.

Jorge Luis Borges

A drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall. So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey which catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the highroad to his reason.
