You cannot escape the results of your thoughts. Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain or rise with your thoughts, your vision, your ideal. You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration.
James Lane Allen

I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty... you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are.
J. D. Salinger

Jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty, fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars.
Ben Stein

There was no last animal I treated. When young farm lads started to help me over the gate into a field or a pigpen, to make sure the old fellow wouldn't fall, I started to consider retiring.
James Herriot

You don't sit down and write a wish list about the person you are going to fall violently in love with. It just doesn't work like that.
Stephen Fry

When real people fall down in life, they get right back up and keep walking.
Sarah Jessica Parker

After all, computers crash, people die, relationships fall apart. The best we can do is breath and reboot.
Sarah Jessica Parker

Bums are the well-to-do of this day. They didn't have as far to fall.
Jackson Pollock

Billie Jean King

I really, really love music. I'm affected by it and uplifted by it, and made to laugh and cry, and almost fall in love with the person who has made me feel so brilliant and communicated so profoundly to me.
Siobhan Fahey

Men always fall for frigid women because they put on the best show.
Fanny Brice

Moral justification is a powerful disengagement mechanism. Destructive conduct is made personally and socially acceptable by portraying it in the service of moral ends. This is why most appeals against violent means usually fall on deaf ears.
Albert Bandura

As the blessings of health and fortune have a beginning, so they must also find an end. Everything rises but to fall, and increases but to decay.
Sallust

Small communities grow great through harmony, great ones fall to pieces through discord.
Sallust

Help us to recognize your voice, help us not to be allured by the madness of the world, so that we may never fall away from you, O Lord Jesus Christ.
Albrecht Durer

It will make a weak man mighty. it will make a mighty man fall. It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all. It's the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame. It is the love for hate and pride for shame. That's the power of the gospel.
Ben Harper

If I fall, I fall. I'll rise up like anybody else.
Ben Harper

If epic poetry is a definite species, the sagas do not fall within it.
Lascelles Abercrombie

Natalie Clifford Barney

If one does away with the fact of the Resurrection, one also does away with the Cross, for both stand and fall together, and one would then have to find a new center for the whole message of the gospel.
Hans Urs von Balthasar
