The Promised Land always lies on the other side of a Wilderness.

Havelock Ellis

Forty years spent in wandering in a wilderness like that of the present is not a sad fate - unless one attempts to make himself believe that the wilderness is after all itself the promised land.

John Dewey

The Promised Land, for many people, though, is something that's far off in the future. People are saved, but they don't feel victory. They feel like they're in a wilderness and they're wandering. And so this book of Joshua gives us a picture of how we can come out of the wilderness in our own spiritual lives and enter into a season of victory.

Max Lucado

No one escapes the wilderness on the way to the promised land.

Annie Dillard

Wilderness is a temporary condition through which we are passing to the Promised Land.

Cotton Mather

Sometimes you have to go through the wilderness before you get to the Promised Land.

John Bytheway

Take courage. We walk in the wilderness today and in the Promised Land tomorrow

Dwight L. Moody

Until we find the meaning of the stories in our lives we're destined to wander in a wilderness even though we're in a promised land.

Jane Kirkpatrick

All arguments are meaningless until we gain personal experience. One must win one's own place in the spiritual world painfully and alone. There is no other way of salvation. The Promised Land always lies on the other side of a wilderness.

Havelock Ellis

And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the promised land

Martin Luther King, Jr.

As an Irish person, there's a historical fascination with America: America is the default green and promised land for Irish people and Italians; that's what we grow up with.

Dylan Moran

Don't complain. The Israelites wasted forty years murmuring and complaining in the wilderness, when they could have just obeyed God and entered into their Promised Land.

Joyce Meyer

Seek a happy marriage with wholeness of heart, but do not expect to reach the promised land without going through some wilderness together.

Charlie W Shedd

We've not reached the promised land. We're still wandering around, bumping into each other in the wilderness of ignorance and hate. That is why the King holiday is so important.

Yolanda King

Black people in America will never be free so long as they're on the white man's land. We can't be free until we get our own land and our own country in North America. When we separate from America and take maybe ten states, then we'll be free.

Muhammad Ali

Every region should retain representative samples of its original or wilderness condition, to serve science as a sample of normality. Just as doctors must study healthy people to understand disease, so must the land sciences study the wilderness to understand disorders of the land-mechanism.

Aldo Leopold
