He that is impatient, and cannot wait on God for a mercy, will not easily submit to Him in a denial.
William Gurnall
Though silence is not necessarily an admission, it is not a denial, either.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Weather today is an increasing trend toward denial.
Chuck Palahniuk
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
MARK TWAIN
If we can but tear the blindfold of self-deception from our eyes and loosen the gag of self-denial from our voices, we can restore our country to greatness.
Theodore C Sorensen
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
Sir Walter Scott
The great law of denial belongs to the powerful forces of life, whether the case be one of coolish baked beans, or an unrequited affection.
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps
The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid.
RICHARD BACH
Integrity is the first step to true greatness. Men love to praise, but are slow to practice it. To maintain it in high places costs self-denial; in all places it is liable to opposition, but its end is glorious, and the universe will yet do it homage.
Charles Simmons
Good breeding is the result of good sense, some good nature, and a little self-denial for the sake of others.
Lord Chesterfield
Structures of lines, surfaces, forms, colours. They try to approach the eternal, the inexpressible above men. They are a denial of human egotism. They are the hatred of human immodesty, the hatred of images, of paintings... Wisdom (is) the feeling for the coming reality, the mystical, the definite indefinite, the greatest definite.
Jean Arp
Poker teaches self-reliance, self-control, self-respect, self-denial, and independence. But when cards are wild or are given fictitious authority, the noble game is robbed of its romance, grace and stimulation and degenerates into a gambling scheme.
