Quotes:

Managing is like holding a dove in your hand. Squeeze too hard and you kill it, not hard enough and it flies away.
View quotes by Tommy Lasorda

Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left
View quotes by Aldo Leopold

It is much easier to try one's hand at many things than to concentrate one's powers on one thing.
View quotes by Quintilian

Our grandly business undoubtedly is, not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand
View quotes by Thomas Carlyle

A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
View quotes by Kahlil Gibran

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
View quotes by William Blake

'I enjoy the company of cattle. I really enjoy knowing them, running my hand over them.'
View quotes by Russell Crowe

Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand
View quotes by Thomas Carlyle

I am really excited about Battle of the Stars, the line-up looks fantastic. I've no doubt that despite their fame my hand holding will still be in high demand as they take on the judges often harsh words. Lets just hope I'm not having to mop up too many tears!
View quotes by Kate Thornton

I have found adventure in flying, in world travel, in business, and even close at hand... Adventure is a state of mind - and spirit.
View quotes by Jacqueline Cochran

Tony Blair will be in a dilemma. One part of him will want me to be evicted early so I don't score another victory. On the other hand, as long as I'm in there, I'm leaving him alone. That's going to be a dilemma for those that don't like me. [on Big Brother]
View quotes by George Galloway

Bias and prejudice are attitudes to be kept in hand, not attitudes to be avoided.
View quotes by Charles Curtis

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side
View quotes by Aristotle

Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity?
View quotes by J B Priestley

To many a man, and sometimes to a youth, there comes the opportunity to choose between honorable competence and tainted wealth. The young man who starts out to be poor and honorable, holds in his hand one of the strongest elements of success.
View quotes by Orison Swett Marden

Touch a face. Touch a hand. Say, 'This is for you, this is what I want you to wear.'
View quotes by Estee Lauder

Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue.
View quotes by Cesare Pavese

We plough the fields and scatter
The good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered
By God's almighty hand;
He sends the snow in winter,
The warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine
And soft refreshing rain. [Hymn]
View quotes by Matthias Claudius

New York became the first state to ban talking on hand-held cell phones while driving. First-time violators could receive a fine of $100, with an additional mandatory six-month jail sentenced if your ringer play an Latin-themed novelty song.
View quotes by Jon Stewart

If you are ambitious of climbing up to the difficult, and in a manner inaccessible, summit of the Temple of Fame, your surest way is to leave on one hand the narrow path of Poetry, and follow the narrower track of Knight-Errantry, which in a trice may raise you to an imperial throne.
View quotes by Miguel De Cervantes
