  • The Scots say that Nature itself dictated that golf should be played by the seashore.

    Golf   Men   Sea

    Weed   Garden   Heaven  
    St. Alphonsus Liguori (2015). “Uniformity with God's Will”, p.6, TAN Books

    Half   Stones   Pebbles  
    "Poor Superman". Book by Fritz Leiber, 1951.
  • I pray to be like the ocean, with soft currents, maybe waves at times. More and more, I want the consistency rather than the highs and the lows.

  • . . . Newton was an unquestioning believer in an all-wise creator of the universe, and in his own inability - like the boy on the seashore - to fathom the entire ocean in all its depths. He therefore believed that there were not only many things in heaven beyond his philosophy, but plenty on earth as well, and he made it his business to understand for himself what the majority of intelligent men of his time accepted without dispute (to them it was as natural as common sense) - the traditional account of the creation.

  • When anxious, uneasy and bad thoughts come, I go to the sea, and the sea drowns them out with its great wide sounds, cleanses me with its noise, and imposes a rhythm upon everthing in me that is bewildered and confused.

    Beach   Confused   Ocean  
    Rainer Maria Rilke (1969). “Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke, 1892-1910”, p.94, W. W. Norton & Company
  • This is the seashore. Neither land nor sea. It’s a place that does not exist.

    Sea   Land   Doe  
    Alessandro Baricco (2013). “Ocean Sea”, p.105, Canongate Books
  • Every time we walk along a beach some ancient urge disturbs us so that we find ourselves shedding shoes and garments or scavenging among seaweed and whitened timbers like the homesick refugees of a long war.

    Beach   War   Ocean  
    Loren Eiseley (2016). “The Unexpected Universe: A Library of America eBook Classic”, p.45, Library of America
  • Think about the holes children make when they dig in the sand on the seashore. When the waves come in, the holes are swallowed up by the ocean. Similarly, when we know Christ, our physical death is overwhelmed by the love and grace of God. Death is swallowed up in the victory of Christ.

    Billy Graham (2008). “Wisdom for Each Day”, p.102, Thomas Nelson Inc
  • As a rock on the seashore he standeth firm, and the dashing of the waves disturbeth him not. He raiseth his head like a tower on a hill, and the arrows of fortune drop at his feet. In the instant of danger, the courage of his heart here, and scorn to fly.

    Courage   Heart   Rocks  
  • Most of us have had the experience of sitting by the seashore or on a mountaintop, simply enjoying the beauty of nature, relaxed, content, and present. We've probably also had the experience of sitting by the seashore or on a mountaintop and missing it completely. Being present - or not - is a basic human experience.

    Beauty   Nature   Missing  
  • Hurry not a woman's favor; neither forcer her hastily to surrender to thee. For she goeth into love as she goeth into the waters at the seashore; first a hand and then a lip goeth she in by littles. She diveth not, she leapeth not from the pier; but by gentle shocks and cries of protest she entereth slowly; yet when the waters of love encompass her, then she is supported. She swimmeth in her joy; she floateth on the tide of happiness.

    Love   Women   Hands  
  • To sustain an environment suitable for man, we must fight on a thousand battlegrounds. Despite all of our wealth and knowledge, we cannot create a redwood forest, a wild river, or a gleaming seashore.

    Johnson, Lyndon B. (1967). “Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: Lyndon B. Johnson, 1966”, p.202, Best Books on
  • There are many marvellous stories told of Pherecydes. For it is said that he was walking along the seashore at Samos, and that seeing a ship sailing by with a fair wind, he said that it would soon sink; and presently it sank before his eyes. At another time he was drinking some water which had been drawn up out of a well, and he foretold that within three days there would be an earthquake; and there was one.

    Drinking   Eye   Wind  
  • As the surface of the seashore rocks were pitted by by the waves and gathered limpets that further disguised what lay beneath, so time made truth of what appeared to be. The days that passed, in becoming weeks, still did not disturb the surface an assumption had created. The weather of a beautiful summer continued with neither sign nor hint that credence had been misplaced. The single sandal found among the rocks became a sodden image of death; and as the keening on the pier at Kilauran traditionally marked distres brought by the sea, so did silence at Lahardane.

    William Trevor (2011). “The Story of Lucy Gault”, p.36, Penguin UK
  • Climb the mountains, search the valleys, the deserts, the seashores, the deep recesses of the earth, for only in this way and no other will you arrive at the true nature of things.

    Beach   Ocean   Moving

    Writing   Names   Earth  
  • No Legislature can really destroy a religious conviction, except by exterminating its holders. It is historically too late to do that, and we shall live to see the drowned Egyptians on the seashore even yet.

  • What particular experiences will nourish your soul? No one can prescribe that for you; it is something only you can know and experience. What is satisfying for one person may be just the opposite for someone else. Being out in nature, by the seashore, or on a mountaintop works for me. Communing with nature brings me into soul time. But for others, being out in nature is something to be tolerated, or even an ordeal, or just what you do if you're a member of a family that goes camping.

    Nature   Opposites   Soul  
  • Official education was telling people almost nothing of the nature of all those things on the seashores, and in the redwood forests, in the deserts and in the plains.

    Sea   People   Desert  
  • Counting the ways the Book of Mormon brings peace to the soul is like counting the sand on the seashore.

    Book   Soul   Way  
  • Let my doing nothing when I have nothing to do, become untroubled in its depth of peace, like the evening in the seashore when the water is silent.

    Rabindranath Tagore, Mohit Kumar Ray (2007). “Poems”, p.420, Atlantic Publishers & Dist
  • There came a day when the clouds drifting along with the wind aroused a wanderlust in me, and I set off on a journey to roam along the seashores

    Journey   Clouds   Wind  
  • THIRD WATCHER Let her speak. Don't interrupt. She knows words that mermaids taught her...I'm falling asleep in order to hear her...Go on, sister, go on...My heart aches because I wasn't you when you dreamed at the seashore.

    Fall   Heart   Order  
    Fernando Pessoa (2007). “The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa”, p.54, Grove/Atlantic, Inc.
  • Presidents may go to the seashore or to the mountains. Cabinet officers may go about the country explaining how fortunate the country is in having such an administration, but the machinery at Washington continues to operate under the army of faithful non-commissioned officers, and the great mass of governmental business is uninterrupted.

    Country   Army   Faithful  
    William Howard Taft, David Henry Burton (2009). “William Howard Taft: Essential Writings and Addresses”, p.168, Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press

    Writing   Men   Air  
    Charles Clover (2008). “The End of the Line: How Overfishing is Changing the World and what We Eat”, p.151, Univ of California Press
