Ordinary Fear

Famous quotes containing the words ordinary and/or fear:

    An ordinary man will work every day for a year at shoveling dirt to support his body, or a family of bodies; but he is an extraordinary man who will work a whole day in a year for the support of his soul. Even the priests, men of God, so called, for the most part confess that they work for the support of the body.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Happiness was not made to be boasted, but enjoyed. Therefore tho’ others count me miserable, I will not believe them if I know and feel myself to be happy; nor fear them.
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
