Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she won't suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. But when the person looks back-she will hear her heart.
Paulo Coelho

I don't have a definition of jazz... You're just supposed to know it when you hear it.
Thelonious Monk
Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tired on him personally.
Abraham Lincoln
He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.
George Eliot
Do not let the loud utterances of your own wills anticipate, nor drown, the still, small voice in which God speaks. Bridle impatience till He does. If you cannot hear His whisper, wait till you do. Take care of running before you are sent. Keep your wills in equipoise till God's hand gives the impulse and direction.
Alexander MacLaren

Wendell Phillips
He that has eyes to see and ears to hear may convince himself that no mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips; betrayal oozes out of him at every pore.
Sigmund Freud
To listen is an effort, and just to hear is no merit. A duck hears also.
Igor Stravinsky
Tread lightly, she is near Under the snow, Speak gently, she can hear The daisies grow.
Oscar Wilde
Though I sit down now, the time will come when you will hear me.
Benjamin Disraeli
