Famous quotes with Intent upon

• Be intent upon the perfection of the present day.

  William Law
• And if citizens of New Orleans who are really contemplating coming back heard that we're really intent upon making the place secure again - regardless of whether the levees held or not - then I think a rebuilding process would really take shape.

  Billy Tauzin
• Be intent upon the perfection of the present day.

  William Law
• But what is the use of this history, what the use of all this minute research ?

The insect does not aim at so much glory. It confines itself to showing us life in the inexhaustible variety of its manifestations; it helps us to decipher in some small measure the obscurest book of all, the book of ourselves.

  Jean Henri Fabre
• ‘I suspect you are intent upon some sort of revenge, in response to this dreadful tragedy?’ ‘And?’ I said. ‘Let me counsel you. In moments such as this, we are inclined to allow the animal aspect of our natures to take control. It is a mistake. ... Because revenge can destroy a man as surely as the plague.

And it can never be satisfied until everything has been destroyed utterly.’
