Cease

Famous quotes containing the word cease:

    It is an honor for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
    Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 20:3.

    The obscure only exists that it may cease to exist. In it lies the opportunity of all victory and all progress. Whether it call itself fatality, death, night, or matter, it is the pedestal of life, of light, of liberty and the spirit. For it represents resistance—that is to say, the fulcrum of all activity, the occasion for its development and its triumph.
    Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)

    Faith is not a thing which one “loses,” we merely cease to shape our lives by it.
    Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)
