Famous quotes with Germinates

  • Analysis kills spontaneity. The grain once ground into flour springs and germinates no more.
    Henri Frederic Amiel
  • So never lose an opportunity of urging a practical beginning, however small, for it is wonderful how often in such matters the mustard-seed germinates and roots itself.
    Florence Nightingale
  • Humility is becoming a scarce commodity in today's cold, calculating, and proud society. It is now becoming a forgotten virtue, which often makes me wonder "Why?" In my view, Humility can be manifested in two forms: one being the Internal form of honesty, truth and integrity, i.e. being honest about who we are, and accepting our strenths and weaknesses truthfully; while the second form being the External one, which is associated with how we treat others with respect and dignity. Both Internal and External forms are interdependent, and simply cannot exist independenttly. If that's the case, it can explain why Humility is in short supply.....it's one's lack of honesty and self-respect that germinates her/his lack of respect towards others. Accepting one's own follies with utmost honesty is surely the first step towards humility and getting closer to Supreme Power.
    Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate
  • There is nothing to show, yet, some say the show must go on. Flowers blossom at dawn in the dark, a sperm germinates without a spark and photographs too are developed in the dark. You simply be, create and be, doesn't matter whether or not the world can see. Let your work speak and actualize, MickeyMize. Share this for a creative and an expressive world.
