Avoid jealously for this destroys good deeds as fire destroys wood.

Abu Hurairah

Wood feeds the fire which burns it.

Leonardo da Vinci

Fire is fed by fire. The same small flame destroys Two stalks of wheat at once.

Federico Garcia Lorca

Fire is to represent truth because it destroys all sophistry and lies; and the mask is for lying and falsehood which conceal truth.

Leonardo da Vinci

A society that destroys the environment that supports it, I would not consider to be intelligent life. It's like the cancer that ultimately kills itself by destroying the host it feeds on.

Frederick Lenz

War is the greatest plague that can afflict humanity, it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroys families. Any scourge is preferable to it.

Martin Luther

To me, art begets art. Painting feeds the eye just as poetry feeds the ear, which is to say that both feed the soul.

Susan Vreeland

Pride is the king of vices...it is the first of the pallbearers of the soul...other vices destroy only their opposite virtues, as wantonness destroys chastity; greed destroys temperance; anger destroys gentleness; but pride destroys all virtues.

Fulton J. Sheen

Anger is fire. It burns inside. It destroys.

Jonathan Morris

What feeds me destroys me.

Christopher Marlowe

Fire destroys all sophistry, that is deceit; and maintains truth alone, that is gold.

Leonardo da Vinci

Fire destroys falsehood, that is sophistry, and restores truth, driving out darkness.

Leonardo da Vinci

Liberalism is a cancer; it's a forest fire; it destroys every single thing it touches.

Dan Bongino

The poet craves emotion, and feeds the fire that consumes him, and only under this condition is he baptized with creative power.

George Edward Woodberry

What is it about fire that's so lovely? No matter what age we are, what draws us to it?...The thing man wanted to invent, but never did...If you let it go on, it'd burn our lifetimes out. What is fire? It is a mystery. Scientists give us gobbledygook about friction and molecules. But they don't really know. Its real beauty is that it destroys responsibility and consequences.
