    Quotes and sayings containing the term lest

    Your beginning in life doesn't really matter. Yes, rather the bottom line is how and where you will end up. For, surely there is an end to every human/matter. And guess what? The end of every human or matter is better off than the beginning (Ecclesiates 7 : 8). Now, that's why, I'm more concerned with what and how my end will be/become. And you too ought to be more concerned with what will be your end rather than your beginning. Lest you forget. The end justifies the means . And I strongly do believe in that in toto.

    – Emeasoba George

    If thou be rich, strive to command thy money, lest it command thee.

    – Francis Quarles

    – Francis Quarles

    The test of a successful person is not an ability to eliminate all problems before they arise, but to meet and work out difficulties when they do arise. We must be willing to make an intelligent compromise with perfection lest we wait forever before taking action. It's still good advice to cross bridges as we come to them.

    – David Joseph Schwartz

    Who feels no ills, should, therefore, fear them; and when fortune smiles, be doubly cautious, lest destruction come remorseless on him, and he fall unpitied.

    – Sophocles

    If one had to worry about one's actions in respect of other people's ideas, one might as well be buried alive in an antheap or married to an ambitious violinist. Whether that man is the prime minister, modifying his opinions to catch votes, or a bourgeois in terror lest some harmless act should be misunderstood and outrage some petty convention, that man is an inferior man and I do not want to have anything to do with him any more than I want to eat canned salmon.

    – Aleister Crowley

    Where the apple reddens never pry -- lest we lose our Edens, Eve and I.

    – Robert Browning

    What is it about genus arboretum that socks us in the figurative solar plexus We see a logging truck go cruising down the road, stacked with a bunch of those fresh-cut giants, we feel like we lost a brother. Next thing you know, we're in The Brick, we're flopping money down on the bar. Wood. We're under a roof. Wood. We're walking the floors. Wood. Grabbing a pool cue. That's wood. Our friends in the forest carry a set of luggage from the mythical baggage carousel. Tree of life, tree of knowledge, family tree, Buddha's Bodhi tree. Page one of life, in the beginning. Genesis 322. Adam and Eve. They're kicking back in the garden of Eden and boom, they get an eviction notice. Why is that Lest they should also take of the tree of life, eat and live forever. A definitive Yahweh no-no. Be good to yourself, go out and plant a wet one on a tree.

    – Diane Frolov
