Quotations regarding 'Rest'

Choose a letter: 
I always knew I was a star And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me.
Freddie Mercury, British Musician (1946-1991)
What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves? This is the most important of all voyages of discovery, and without it, all the rest are not only useless, but disastrous.
Thomas Merton, American Author (1915-1968)
I hope I give girls an opportunity to realize that they can swim and go to school at the same time. It's not to be given up once they get out of high school. They can continue doing it for the rest of their lives.
Debbie Meyer, American Athlete (1952-  )
Why are we so full of restraint? Why do we not give in all directions? Is it fear of losing ourselves? Until we do lose ourselves there is no hope of finding ourselves.
Henry Miller, American Author (1891-1980)
The decline of manners, the cynical pursuit without shame or restraint of personal advantage and of money characterizes our times, not without exceptions, of course, but more than we ought to be comfortable with.
J. Irwin Miller, American Businessman (1909-2004)
None can love freedom heartily, but good men; the rest love not freedom, but licence.
John Milton, English Poet (1608-1674)
I have said it often and I will say it again: I believe you learn to read when you are young, then read to learn for the rest of your life.
Ruth Ann Minner, American Politician (1935-  )
My dad was a cotton buyer and cotton buyers always considered themselves superior to the rest of the world.
Joseph Mitchell, American Writer (1908-1996)
I want to be distinguished from the rest; to tell the truth, a friend to all mankind is not a friend for me.
Moliere, French Playwright (1622-1673)
Nobody can deny but religion is a comfort to the distressed, a cordial to the sick, and sometimes a restraint on the wicked; therefore whoever would argue or laugh it out of the world without giving some equivalent for it ought to be treated as a common enemy.
Mary Wortley Montagu, English Writer (1689-1762)
Ignorance is the softest pillow on which a man can rest his head.
Michel de Montaigne, French Philosopher (1533-1592)
It is a monstrous thing that I will say, but I will say it all the same: I find in many things more restraint and order in my morals than in my opinions, and my lust less depraved than my reason.
Michel de Montaigne, French Philosopher (1533-1592)
The seeded draw came into being. This means that the two best players of the tournament are placed in opposite halves in the draw, and cannot possibly meet until the finals, if they come through successfully against all the rest of the participants.
Helen Wills Moody, American Athlete (1905-1999)
The secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for the rest of your life. And the most important thing is, it must be something you cannot possibly do.
Henry Moore, English Sculptor (1898-1986)
The deepest feeling always shows itself in silence; not in silence, but restraint.
Marianne Moore, American Poet (1887-1972)
Let's put one lie to rest for all time: the lie that men are oppressed, too, by sexism-the lie that there can be such a thing as men's liberation groups.
Robin Morgan, American Activist (1941-  )
The joint lubrication was not what it was when I was competing, and I decided that not having arthritis or rheumatism for the rest of my life was a lot more important to me than returning to the track.
Edwin Moses, American Athlete (1955-  )
To me I think artists in general make a statement - and for the rest of their lives - every album, every book - are variations on a theme.
Mark Mothersbaugh, American Musician (1950-  )
I took business classes as a back up but I made movies all the time. I would get my classes done in two days and then spend the rest of the time making my movies.
Dennis Muren, American Artist (1946-  )
I'd like to make a movie pretty soon, so I could get a rest.
George Murphy, American Dancer (1902-1992)
