Temple Cleanliness Quotes

Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation, as any painter's or sculptor's work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God's spirit? It is one of the Fine Arts: I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts.

Florence Nightingale

No one should approach the temple of science with the soul of a money changer.

Thomas Browne

They used to photograph Shirley Temple through gauze. They should photograph me through linoleum.

Tallulah Bankhead

Acting is the most minor of gifts and not a very high-class way to earn a living. After all, Shirley Temple could do it at the age of four.

Katharine Hepburn

The temple bell stops but I still hear the sound coming out of the flowers.

Basho

Every man is the builder of a Temple called his body, nor can he get off by hammering marble instead.

Henry David Thoreau

Discussing how old you are is the temple of boredom.

Ruth Gordon

The boy gathers materials for a temple, and then when he is thirty, concludes to build a woodshed.

Henry David Thoreau

Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.

Kahlil Gibran

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each of you be alone, Even as the strings of the lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hands of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

Kahlil Gibran

While God waits for His temple to be built of love, men bring stones.

Rabindranath Tagore

Acting is the most minor of gifts. After all, Shirley Temple could do it when she was four.

Katharine Hepburn

The body is your temple. Keep it pure and clean for the soul to reside in.

B.K.S. Iyengar

Colors fade, temples crumble, empires fall, but wise words endure.

Edward Thorndike

Gambling houses are temples where the most sordid and turbulent passions contend; there no spectator can be indifferent. A card or a small square of ivory interests more than the loss of an empire, or the ruin of an unoffending group of infants, and their nearest relatives.

Johann Georg von Zimmermann
