Profound poetic insights can be "somehow encapsulated" in famous quotations from poetry!!! If we think of Spirituality as being a sea then that sea has "Islands of Certainty" (such as "Charity" and "Humility") that are well known to its most experienced and intrepid voyagers - the True Mystics and the supreme Poets. The profoundly impact - FULL quotations set out below will undoubtedly persuade you that many quotations from poetry recognize the significance of numerous, and identifiable, "Aspects of Spirituality and of Being". Some famous, inspirational and familiar quotations and quotes showing the Wisdom of the Poets Several famous quotations about - A Disdain for Material Things All the world's a stage And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts,- His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. Then the whining School-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like a furnace, with a woful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard; Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble Reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the Justice, In fair round belly with good capon lin'd With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances,- And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd Pantaloon, With spectacle on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose well sav'd, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion; Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans - everything. William Shakespeare The glories of our church and state Are shadows, not substantial things; There is no armour against fate; Death lays his icy hand on kings. ~ James Shirley Poor and content is rich, and rich enough. ~ William Shakespeare The loss of wealth is loss of dirt, As sages in all times assert; The happy man's without a shirt ~ John Heywood Lord of himself, though not of lands; And having nothing, yet hath all. ~ Sir Henry Wotton Several familiar quotations about - A Distrust of Intellect O for a life of sensations rather than thoughts. ~ John Keats What the imagination seizes as beauty must be truth. ~ John Keats The intellectual power, through words and things, Went sounding on, a dim and perilous way! ~ William Wordsworth Errors like straws, upon the surface flow; He who would search for pearls must dive below. ~ John Dryden Into the eye and prospect of his soul. ~ William Shakespeare Here the heart… May give a useful lesson to the head, And learning wiser grow without his books. ~ William Cowper An insight-full quotation about - Yearning for Divine Edification God guard me from those thoughts men think In the mind alone; He that sings a lasting song Thinks in a marrow-bone; ~ William Butler Yeats Several inspirational quotes about - Charity Poets are all who love, who feel great truths, and tell them: and the truth of truths is love. ~ Philip James Bailey All love is sweet, Given or returned. Common as light is love, And its familiar voice wearies not ever They who inspire it most are fortunate As I am now; but those who feel it most Are happier still. ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley That best portion of a good man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts Of kindness and of love. ~ William Wordsworth He hath a tear for pity, and a hand Open as day for melting charity ~ William Shakespeare Several famous quotations about - Purity of Heart Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind: The thief doth fear each bush an officer. ~ William Shakespeare My conscience hath a thousand several tongues And every tongue brings in a several tale And every tale condemns me for a villain ~ William Shakespeare A peace above all earthly dignities, A still and quiet conscience ~ William Shakespeare O! while you live, tell the truth, And shame the devil! ~ William Shakespeare What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted! Thrice is he armed that has his quarrel just, And he but naked, though locked up in steel, Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted ~ William Shakespeare There is no terror, Cassius, in your threats; For I am armed so strong in honesty That they pass by me as the idle wind, Which I respect not. ~ William Shakespeare Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful. ~ William Shakespeare Several familiar quotations about - Humility The best of men That e'er wore earth about him, was a sufferer, A soft, meek, patient, humble, tranquil spirit, The first true gentleman that ever breathed ~ Thomas Dekker Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame. ~ Alexander Pope I charge thee, fling away ambition By that sin fell the angels. How can man then, The image of his maker hope to win by it ? Love thyself last: cherish those hearts that hate thee; Corruption wins not more than honesty Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace, To silence envious tongues: be just, and fear not. Let all the ends thou aim'st at be thy country's, Thy God's and truth's ~ William Shakespeare Several inspirational quotes about - Meekness Thy steady temper, Portius, Can look on guilt, rebellion, fraud, and Caesar, In the calm lights of mild philosophy. ~ Joseph Addison Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice, And could of men distinguish her election, Sh'hath sealed thee for herself, for thou hast been As one in suff'ring all that suffers nothing, A man that Fortune's buffets and rewards Hast ta'en with equal thanks; and blest are those Whose blood and judgement are so well co-medled, That they are not a pipe for Fortune's finger To sound what stop she please: give me that man That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him In my heart's core, ay in my heart of heart, As I do thee ~ William Shakespeare
