Vivi muito tempo no mundo das pessoas grandes. Vi-as de bem perto.N?o fiquei com muito melhor opini?o delas.

He was once an abstract Grandeur which I struggled more in fear than love to please. He has become a living Presence, dear and real

the grandeur of God reveals itself through simple things

"So nigh is grandeur to our dust

The world is charged with the grandeur of God.

How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, "This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant?" Instead they say, "No, no, no! My God is a little God, and I want him to stay that way." A religion, old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the Universe as revealed by modern science might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths.

We know that God is everywhere; but certainly we feel His presence most when His works are on the grandest scale spread before us; and it is in the unclouded night-sky, where His worlds wheel their silent course, that we read clearest His infinitude, His omnipotence, His omnipresence.

This is a special kind of depression. It comes from the great burden laid on our shoulders. A depression you can't shake off, so that it is part and parcel of you all the time you go on with your military activities. This depression leads to melancholy. It's od to point to somebody young and say: there goes a sad man. That is our lot. One of the things that weighs me down most is that it's forbidden to speak of this sadness outside the limits of the army. In fact, I'm forbidden to share it with anyone. The main reason is the secrecy that surrounds everything that has to do with the military. In order to explain the depression, you have to talk about its origins, and that's prohibited, of course. Another reason is that it's almost impossible to explain the nature of this sadness to anyone who doesn't know it; the sadness will always be interpreted as something else. Within itself it's not mentioned-- It exists, but for each man separately. it is never discussed. Thus another factor comes into the picture-- loneliness. But loneliness, sadness and depression are the lot of great masses of people in this world. Well, then, What kind of God-forsaken world are we living in? It contains so much beauty, so much grandeur and nobility- but men destroy everything that is beautiful in the world. It seems, indeed, that from time immemorial we have been forgotten by the Gods.

aquele que quer responder ?s inj?rias com o ?dio vive na tristeza ou na m?goa, aquele que quer vencer o ?dio com o amor combate alegremente e sem temor. Triunfa tanto sobre um grande n?mero de inimigos quanto sobre um ?nico, prescindindo de todo socorro da fortuna. Aqueles a quem ele consegue vencer ficam alegres por terem sido derrotados; e, derrotados, eles n?o s?o menos fortes; ao contr?rio, s?o mais fortes.

Quando ouvimos os sinos, ouvimos aquilo que j? trazemos em n?s mesmos como modelo. Sou da opini?o que n?o se dever? desprezar aquele que olhar atentamente para as manchas da parede, para os carv?es sobre a grelha, para as nuvens, ou para a correnteza da ?gua, descobrindo, assim, coisas maravilhosas. O g?nio do pintor h?-de se apossar de todas essas coisas para criar composi??es diversas: luta de homens e de animais, paisagens, monstros, dem?nios e outras coisas fant?sticas. Tudo, enfim, servir? para engrandecer o artista.

On a grander scale, when a society segregates itself, the consequences affect the economy, the emotions, and the ecology. That's one reason why it's easy for pro-lifers to eat factory-raised animals that disrespect everything sacred about creation. And that is why it's easy for rabid environmentalists to hate chainsaws even though they snuggle into a mattress supported by a black walnut bedstead.

What is grander than a country and more valuable than gold? Strength of heart.

There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.

Unhappy is that Grandeur which makes us too great to be good and that Wit which sets us at a distance from true Wisdom.

A man must dream a long time in order to act with grandeur and dreaming is nursed in darkness.

The grandeur and strength or our people and democracy are as big as a forest.

The only consistent hobby I've had is studying Spanish and French because of some delusion of grandeur to work around the world. I love sports but usually I'm looking for the next job.

In my opinion most of the great men of the past were only there for the beer - the wealth prestige and grandeur that went with the power.

Although I'm an atheist who believes only in great nature I recognize the spiritual richness and grandeur of the Roman Catholicism in which I was raised.

Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties.

For if there is a sin against life it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.

May I say finally that I have no illusions of grandeur quite to the contrary I am very humble in my knowledge that through forty years of my life my life has been an open book of service to my fellow architects and for the public good.

Alas! if the principles of contentment are not within us the height of station and worldly grandeur will as soon add a cubit to a man's stature as to his happiness.

In France today people no longer eat as much heavy food and fat as they did 15 or 20 years ago. These days French cooking through the influence of 'grande cuisine ' has become a bit lighter. And we are beginning to discover the original flavors of our produce.
