Jocelyn Murray Quotes

There is nothing more painful than the untimely death of someone young and dear to the heart. The harrowing grief surges from a bottomless well of sorrow, drowning the mourner in a torrent of agonizing pain; an exquisite pain that continues to afflict the mourner with heartache and loneliness long after the deceased is buried and gone.

Familiarity makes the lion more dangerous.

Even coal shimmers in the light

If you are busy pleasing everyone, you are not being true to yourself

It is the dirt within men’s hearts that is most offensive; the filth you cannot see.

There is no treasure like the human heart.

There is no place for innocence on the battlefield.

What is courage without risk... It wouldn’t really be courage, would it?

What good is a smooth tongue without sharp teeth?

It is the heart that has been pierced that feels the most.

Hate engenders loneliness and despair

Books are like bound dreams waiting to be released

When a tree falls it resounds with a thundering crash; and yet a whole forest grows in silence.

Do not bother yourself with what ifs

Blood was the mortar that cemented the kingdom

True kindness ennobles the giver

Sometimes it takes great suffering to pierce the soul and open it up to greatness

True beauty cannot fail to move the beholder

Some journeys lead nowhere, but they set the spirit free

Some trees are too deeply rooted to move ... And if they are uprooted, they will die.

What good is a secret if it remains a secret ... Secrets are meant to be discovered.

Darkness gives free rein to the mind's worst imaginings.
