The Sappers really need no tribute from me; their reward lies in the glory of their achievement. The more science intervenes in warfare, the more will be the need for engineers in field armies; in the late war there were never enough Sappers at any time. Their special tasks involved the upkeep and repair of communications; roads, bridges, railways, canals, mine sweeping. The Sappers rose to great heights in World War II and their contribution to victory was beyond all calculations.
Taking possession of your positive self will put you on the success beam that you may ride triumphantly to whatever heights of achievement you desire.
Passion is what makes life interesting, what ignites our soul, fuels our love and carries our friendships, stimulates our intellect, and pushes our limits. . . A passion for life is contagious and uplifting. Passion cuts both ways. . . Those that make you feel on top of the world are equally able to turn it upside down. . . In my life I want to create passion in my own life and with those I care for. I want to feel, experience and live every emotion. I will suffer through the bad for the heights of the good.
I critique market-based medicine not because I haven't seen its heights but because I've seen its depths.
Overcoming fear doesn't have to be skydiving, if you're afraid of heights. Overcoming fear is an everyday thing. We do it all day long.
I have a fear of heights and I'm claustrophobic.
I am afraid of abandonment, and, if you will, in a really existential way, being exposed as a fraud. Everyone's afraid of it, and I definitely am. This is a fear that motivates. Oh, and heights. And getting stabbed.
What is more tragic than to see a person who has risen to the disciplined heights of tough-mindedness but has at the same time sunk to the passionless depths of hard-heartedness?
We will not leave the Golan Heights, not even in exchange for a peace treaty. We will be ready for a limited compromise and it does not have to be in territorial terms.
I'm still pretty terrified of heights.
No one can usurp the heights. . . But those to whom the miseries of the world Are misery, and will not let them rest.
I don't have a fear of heights. I do, however, have a fear of falling from heights.
I believe in myself as I look forward to graduating from Hamilton Heights High School in 1991.
Am I a romantic? I've seen 'Wuthering Heights' ten times. I'm a romantic.
I will not doubt, though sorrows fall like rain, And troubles swarm like bees about a hive; I shall believe the heights for which I strive Are only reached by anguish and by pain; And though I groan and tremble with my crosses, I yet shall see, through my severest losses, The greater gain.
there is no ascent to the heights without prior descent into darkness, no new life without some form of death.
If suffer we must, let's suffer on the heights.
People talk about discipline, but to me, there's discipline and there's self-discipline. Discipline is listening to people tell you what to do, where to be, and how to do something. Self-discipline is knowing that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life; you are the only one who can take yourself to the desired heights.
I'm not afraid of heights. I'm afraid of widths.
From the heights of these pyramids, forty centuries look down on us.
