Thank you for visiting these Husband Sayings and Quotes. I hope you find value in these Quotes and Sayings about Husband from my large collection of Inspirational Sayings.
When you are alone you are not alone,
you are simply lonely -
and there is a tremendous difference
between loneliness and aloneness.
When you are lonely you are thinking of the other,
you are missing the other.
Loneliness is a negative state.
You are feeling that it would have been
better if the other were there -
your friend, your wife, your mother,
your beloved, your husband.
It would have been good if the other
were there, but the other is not.
Loneliness is absence of the other.
Aloneness is the presence of oneself.
Aloneness is very positive.
It is a presence, overflowing presence.
You are so full of presence
that you can fill the whole universe
with your presence and there is no need for anybody.
- Osho
A man cannot speak to his son, but as a father;
to his wife, but as a husband;

and not as it sorteth with the person.
- Francis Bacon

if he could make me "understand" something,

"Can I participate in your wonder?"
In whose wonder do you get to participate today?

Do real life people actually fall in love
with the idea of being in love?
Unfortunately, it is actually quite common.
Someone wants desperately to have
the husband or wife of their dreams.
They visualize the vine-covered cottage
with the white picket fence.
They choose the colors for the nursery.
They design all the aspects of their married life.
A real person stands no chance of measuring up to those fantasies.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

They who can give up essential liberty
to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Cowardice asks the question - is it safe?
Expediency asks the question - is it politic?
Vanity asks the question - is it popular?
But conscience asks the question - is it right?
And there comes a time when one must take a position
that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular;
but one must take it BECAUSE it is right.
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so.

Service which is rendered without joy
helps neither the servant nor the served.
But all other pleasures and possessions
pale into nothingness before service

Know that life is most joyful when you
neither attempt to hurry the future nor to slow it.

Cheer for endings - whether goals have been met or not -

Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort
of feeling safe with a person;
having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words,
but to pour them all out, just as they are,
chaff and grain together,
knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them,
keep what is worth keeping, and then,
with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
- George Eliot
People often say that motivation doesn't last.
Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.
- Zig Ziglar
The "stories" we choose to tell about our past
are never what a video camera would have recorded.
We can tell a sad story or a happy story,
and neither story is either
more accurate or "better" than the other story.
The difference is that one story causes us to suffer,
while the other brings us joy. I choose joy.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
You are not your mind. You, a Spiritual BEing,
are neither your mind nor your body.
Mind and body are your tools - to use as you choose.
Sometimes your body appears to have a will of its own,
as when it twitches or pains.
Likewise, your mind often appears to have its own will.
That incessant chattering of regret, disappointment, guilt,
shame, foreboding, worry, and fear
is your Rattlesnake Mind striking off on its own.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable...
Every step toward the goal of justice

passionate concern of dedicated individuals.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is neither wealth nor splendor;
but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness.
- Thomas Jefferson

Whatever man might build, could never
express or reflect more than he was.
He could record neither more nor less
than he had learned of life.
- Frank Lloyd Wright
Far better is it to dare mighty things,
to win glorious triumphs,
even though chequered by failure,
than to take rank with those poor spirits
who neither enjoy much nor suffer much,
because they live in the grey twilight
that knows not victory or defeat.
- Theodore Roosevelt
Use heroes as a springboard for inquiry
into the identity and nature of admirably human qualities.
Do not judge heroes -

nor to unkindly probe their flaws.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Meditation is neither shutting things out nor off.
It is seeing things clearly,
