Top Detour Quotes

Detour Quotes By Jarvis Cocker

It's funny how you can intensely investigate one very particular thing, and then it can lead you to other things through links and stuff like that. It's like you're going on this selective, very precise detour. But then it is strange because with it being so quick, there must be a difference. — Jarvis Cocker

Detour Quotes By Morgan Matson

I'd always hated any kind of peanut butter candy. Peanut butter, in my opinion, belonged in sandwiches and nowhere else. — Morgan Matson

Detour Quotes By Hermann Hesse

No one had any objection when I suggested another detour shortly before reaching town. We turned on to a lovely road that ran high above the valley in a semi-circle , rich in extensive views over the valley, river and town, which, in the distance, was already aglow with rows of bright lamps and thousands of rosy lights. — Hermann Hesse

Detour Quotes By John Templeton

If success were easy, then it would not necessarily be true success. Some of history's most successful people learned to cope with failure as a natural offshoot of the experimental and creative process and often learned more from their failures than their successes. By taking the attitude that failure is merely a detour on the way to our destination, hope can blossom into success. — John Templeton

Detour Quotes By Mary Kay Ash

For every failure, there's an alternative
course of action. You just have to find it.
When you come to a roadblock,
take a detour. — Mary Kay Ash

Detour Quotes By Hans Urs Von Balthasar

It is to the Cross that the Christian is challenged to follow his Master: no path of redemption can make a detour around it. — Hans Urs Von Balthasar

Whenever you notice your thoughts detour into attack mode, say out loud or to yourself: Happiness is a choice I make. — Gabrielle Bernstein

Detour Quotes By Angela N. Blount

Sometimes the most scenic roads in life are the detours you didn't mean to take. — Angela N. Blount

Detour Quotes By Lauren Miller

The moment I heard my dad's voice, I started bawling. "This isn't the path," I kept saying, my words garbled with tears and snot. "It wasn't supposed to go like this." I remember feeling as though everything I had worked for had been snatched away. Dad saw things differently.
"Well-worn paths are boring," he said. "Embrace the detour."
But how can you tell a detour from a dead end? — Lauren Miller

Detour Quotes By Rainer Maria Rilke

You don't survive in me
because of memories;
nor are you mine because
of a lovely longing's strength.
What does make you present
is the ardent detour
that a slow tenderness
traces in my blood.
I do not need
to see you appear;
being born sufficed for me
to lose you a little less. — Rainer Maria Rilke

Detour Quotes By Kendal Taylor

beast. But first I detour toward the lanai and plop myself on a chaise. The sun is high up in the afternoon sky, not a cloud in sight. People have crowded the beach, just little colorful dots against the white sand. The ocean stretches as far the horizon without any islands visible ahead, — Kendal Taylor

Detour Quotes By Rainer Maria Rilke

Ideally a painter (and, generally, an artist) should not become conscious of his insights: without taking the detour through his conscious reflection, his progressive steps, mysterious even to himself, should enter so swiftly into the work that he is unable to recognize them in the moment of transition. — Rainer Maria Rilke

Detour Quotes By Sunil Nair

Your will power is tested when reality brings you to your knees but dreams do not let you give up"- Detour to Canada. — Sunil Nair

Detour Quotes By Augusten Burroughs

Thanksgiving was nothing more than a pilgrim-created obstacle in the way of Christmas; a dead bird in the street that forced a brief detour. — Augusten Burroughs

Detour Quotes By Annemarie Schwarzenbach

But should it matter what we do as long as we use our strength courageously and lead a life without desperation to the end? Isn't it wrong to escape, make a detour and be lost, all of which have led me here to the farthest-flung edge of the world? Wouldn't I have had a good courageous life if only I had been able to resist sickness and fear? Will I be made to face the consequences just because I had nothing to counter a nameless and agonizing desperation? — Annemarie Schwarzenbach

Detour Quotes By Ann Charles

Katie shrugged. "I took a detour." "Damn it, Katie. You need to be more careful. You're pregnant, remember?" "Just a second ago you were talking about jamming a spyglass up my hoo-ha. Now you're going to act protective? — Ann Charles

Detour Quotes By Gregory Benford

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour. — Gregory Benford

Detour Quotes By Donald L. Hicks

Never view obstacles in your path as the enemy. Rather, view any obstacles as detour signs to avoid pitfalls. — Donald L. Hicks

Detour Quotes By Homer Hickam

There's a plan. If you're willing to fight it hard enough, you can make it detour for a while, but you're still going to end up wherever God wants you to be. G — Homer Hickam

Detour Quotes By Carolee Dean

Want me to drive?" Wade asks. "I won't take any detours."
I slam on the brakes and come to a dead stop right in the middle of the road. "Sure. Why not? My life is one big fucking detour," I yell. Then I bang my head on the steering wheel and I can't help it. I start to cry. — Carolee Dean

Detour Quotes By Stephen R. Lawhead

The human race seems to love nothing more than a long detour. — Stephen R. Lawhead

Detour Quotes By Andy Albright

The road to success can take a detour. I tell people that I don't care if they came from Yale or jail, it's what you do from today that counts. — Andy Albright

Detour Quotes By Friedrich Nietzsche

A nation is a detour of nature to arrive at five or six great men- yes, and then to get around them. — Friedrich Nietzsche

Detour Quotes By Zig Ziglar

Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street. — Zig Ziglar

Detour Quotes By NightBits

Failure is a detourNightBits

Detour Quotes By John Waters

Cruising along once again in this cesspool known as life, I realize that it is too late to make a detour. I will have to pass the anti-abortion pickets (50) outside of Planned Parenthood. Nothing gets on my nerves more than these pro-lifers. Not even astrology enthusiasts (51), Herman Hesse (52) or computer games (53). Look at these fools parading up and down! "Mind your own business," I yell. When one of these busybodies (a man, yet) approaches my car with literature, I lose control and scream, "I wish I was a girl so I could get an abortion!" Trembling with rage, I realize I'd better calm down before I get beat up, but can't resist one last taunt - "I hate the pope" (54), I yell to no one in particular. — John Waters

Detour Quotes By Jeff Hardy

Happiness is a road seldom traveled by the multitudes. If you find it, please, don't take it for granted. If you Happen to stray from it, don't let negative obstacles overcome you. Anger and rage only detour you from your final objectives. The future holds nothing but opportunity, and good things happen to good people I promise — Jeff Hardy

Detour Quotes By Shannon L. Alder

Every journey taken always includes the path not taken, the detour through hell, the crossroads of indecision and the long way home. — Shannon L. Alder

Detour Quotes By Mos Def

And from the moment that I saw you, I knew you was trouble,
But I disregarded detour signs,
And did not stop til you was mine.
I guess God was like, 'Aight, fine.'
Careful what you wish for, cause you just might get it in heaps.
Try to give it back, He be like, 'Nah, that's yours to keep.' — Mos Def

Detour Quotes By A.M. Willard

In the end, everything happens for a reason. Paths are meant to be crossed for a higher purpose than what we realize at the moment. Life for everyone goes on. This is just a fork in the road that has taken me for a slight detour. Tomorrow I'll pick up a new map and set my sights on a new direction. — A.M. Willard

Detour Quotes By Holly C. Corbett

Floating there I held onto faith. Because you can't know who might cross your path or who will take your breath away. You can't know what friends might actually become sisters because they stayed by your side. You can't know when there'll be an unexpected detour that'll take you to the place where you were always meant to be. — Holly C. Corbett

Detour Quotes By Esther Hicks

There are no choices that are really a detour that will take you far from where you're wanting to be - because your Inner Being is always guiding you to the next, and the next, and the next. So don't be concerned that you may make a fatal choice, because there aren't any of those. You are always finding your balance. It's a never ending process. — Esther Hicks

Detour Quotes By Jess Walter

I probably would have gone the M.F.A. route except I was a dad at 19, and it made more sense to go to work for a newspaper and support a kid that way. But the funny thing is, that detour became the most important step in my developing as a novelist. — Jess Walter

Detour Quotes By Theodor Reik

It is always possible to approach a goal by a detour. — Theodor Reik

Detour Quotes By Morgan Matson

I know,' I said, thinking about the trip my mother had wanted me to take, and the trip we'd ended up taking, and how much better ours had been. — Morgan Matson

Detour Quotes By James Arthur Ray

Often what may appear as a detour in life is actually the most direct and empowering path to your destination. — James Arthur Ray

Detour Quotes By Kiera Van Gelder

We need this help from the outside because we don't know how to to do this for ourselves. We start with a deep deficit - a chasm really - when it comes to understanding and being tolerant of ourselves, and that's even before we go forth to do battle with the rest of the world. As soon as someone judges, criticizes, dismisses, or ignores, the cycle of pain and reactivity ramps up, compounded by shame, remorse, and rejection. The act of validation, simply saying, 'I can see things from your perspective,' can short-circuit that emotional detour. — Kiera Van Gelder

Detour Quotes By Anthony Liccione

Dead-end roads don't mean you've come to your end, just means you need to take a different detour. — Anthony Liccione

Detour Quotes By Nicholas Sparks

On the drive we talked easily, but we did make a small detour. After pulling into a rest stop, we made out like teenagers. — Nicholas Sparks

Detour Quotes By Neil DeGrasse Tyson

The number of people in the world engaged in this search for catastrophic impactors totals one or two dozen. How long into the future are you willing to protect Homo sapiens on Earth? Before you answer that question, take a detour to Arizona's Meteor Crater during your next vacation. — Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Detour Quotes By Vera Nazarian

The other day, when I was deciding where to place a mountain range, how to make a river's flow detour around underground stalactite caves, and what precise color to give the sky at sunset, I realized I was God ... or an artist and a writer. — Vera Nazarian

Detour Quotes By Vance Havner

The detour is always rougher than the main road — Vance Havner

Detour Quotes By Emily March

Life is not meant to be an interstate highway. It's a winding mountain road with hills and dips, stop signs and school zones. Let friends and family be the data for your GPS satellite feed, and never forget that sometimes an unexpected detour leads to a hidden miracle. — Emily March

Detour Quotes By Ayn Rand

The course of mankind's progress is not a straight, automatic line, but a tortuous struggle, with long detours or relapses into the stagnant night of the irrational. Mankind moves forward by the grace of those human bridges who are able to grasp and transmit, across years or centuries, the achievements men had reached
and to carry them further. Thomas Aquinas is one illustrious example: he was the bridge between Aristotle and the Renaissance, spanning the infamous detour of the Dark and Middle Ages. — Ayn Rand

Detour Quotes By John Grisham

The fear came from the loss of income and the sudden detour in her career. As a third-year associate, she was earning $180,000 a year in base salary, plus a nice bonus. A lot of money, but life in the city had a way of devouring it. Half evaporated in taxes. She had a savings account, one she halfheartedly acknowledged. When you're twenty-nine, single, and free in the city, in a profession where next year's package will exceed this year's salary plus bonus, why worry too much about saving money? She had a friend from Columbia Law who'd been at S&P for five years, had just made junior partner, and would earn about half a million this year. Samantha had been on that track. — John Grisham

Detour Quotes By Lynne Truss

Punctuation marks are the traffic signals of language: they tell us to slow down, notice this, take a detour, and stop. — Lynne Truss

Detour Quotes By Tom McCarthy

[ ... ]to be real
to become fluent, natural, to cut out the detour that sweeps us around what's fundamental to events, preventing us from touching their core: the detour that makes us all second-hand and second-rate. — Tom McCarthy

Detour Quotes By Sherrilyn Kenyon

Well, let's all get maudlin, shall we? George, stop on the way and get us some red-hot pokers to put out our eyes. Oh, and while you're at it, I think we should see about adding salt for our wounds, too. (Solin)
Quite good, sir. Is there any particular place you'd care for me to stop? I've heard the market is a good place for pokers. That is, if you're agreeable to a short detour. (George)
What do you two think? Run-of-the-mill pokers, or a better quality. Oh hell, why not use rusty spoons. They'd hurt more. (Solin) — Sherrilyn Kenyon

Detour Quotes By Jon Gordon

Adversity is not a dead end but a detour to a better outcome than you can imagine! — Jon Gordon

Detour Quotes By Ben Hamper

It was birthright time, goddamnit. Though the recession was still hovering over the city, I didn't let it detour me. I began getting up at 5:00 a.m. and hustling over to the factories. Right on the entrance gate to the personnel office was a sign that read NO APPLICATIONS. Undaunted, I would stride forward. Don't play games with me, GM. My name is Hamper. Surely you remember that loyal, long-suffering clan. Just show me to my setup and everything will be fine. — Ben Hamper

Detour Quotes By Arthur Conan Doyle

We had strict injunctions, however, on no account to pass the falls of Reichenbach, which are about half-way up the hill, without making a small detour to see them. — Arthur Conan Doyle

Detour Quotes By Teresa Mummert

I know i don't get the happily ever after. My knight and shinning armor took the highway detour around this godforsaken shit hole. I've made peace with that. That doesn't mean i'm going to lie down like a doormat and let every cocky prick in the trailer have his way with me. - White Trash Beautiful — Teresa Mummert

Detour Quotes By Susane Colasanti

I thought following a straight road would lead me right to my destination. Like the road would just take me there because I was following all the rules. And if the road curved, I couldn't be sure about where I was going. But look where it got me. Maybe it's time for a detour. — Susane Colasanti

Detour Quotes By Kate Cooper

Within the desert setting, women faced an additional challenge because they had to manage not only their own spiritual progress but also the constant tension caused by men's reactions to them. A story about an anonymous leader of virgins demonstrates the need to deal gracefully with men who often treated them as a source of temptation rather than as fellow seekers. When some monks made a detour to avoid encountering her and her sisters, she commented, 'If you were a perfect monk, you would not have seen us as women. — Kate Cooper

Detour Quotes By Denis Waitley

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing. — Denis Waitley

Detour Quotes By Alphonso Lingis

Power among humans is not simply the physical force with which one material body may move another; it is the force to distract, detour, maneuver, and command. Every pleasure we indulge in and every pain we suffer exerts power over others. — Alphonso Lingis

Detour Quotes By Jewel E. Ann

I don't know if I'll ever truly find my path again, but if I do, you'll always be my favorite detour. — Jewel E. Ann

Detour Quotes By Benjamin Netanyahu

You know, I think, I think the Palestinians are trying to get away without negotiating. They're trying to get a state to continue the conflict with Israel rather than to end it. They're trying to basically detour around peace negotiations by going to the U.N. and have the automatic majority in the U.N. General Assembly give them, give them a state. — Benjamin Netanyahu

Detour Quotes By Hermann Hesse

One must find the source within one's own Self, one must possess it. Everything else was seeking
a detour, an error. — Hermann Hesse

Detour Quotes By Nikki Rowe

I thought having a chronic illness would make my life detour in ways I didn't want to accept, but I've learnt that have a chronic illness made the only detours that are worth the growth. — Nikki Rowe

Detour Quotes By Peter Scazzero

God never loses any part of our past for his future when we surrender ourselves to him. Every mistake, sin, and detour we take in the journey of life is taken by God and becomes his gift for a future of blessing. — Peter Scazzero

Detour Quotes By Mitt Romney

If you believe the disappointments - if you believe the disappointments in the last few years are a detour and not our destiny, then I'm asking for your vote. — Mitt Romney

Detour Quotes By Roy Peter Clark

If a period is a stop sign, then what kind of traffic flow is created by other marks? The comma is a speed bump; the semicolon is what a driver education teacher calls a "rolling stop"; the parenthetical expression is a detour; the colon is a flashing yellow light that announces something important up ahead; the dash is a tree branch in the road. — Roy Peter Clark

Detour Quotes By Lauren Oliver

It amazes me how easy it is for things to change, how easy it is to start off down the same road you always take and wind up somewhere new. Just one false step, one pause, one detour, and you end up with new friends or a bad reputation or a boyfriend or a breakup. It's never occurred to me before; I've never been able to see it. And it makes me feel, weirdly, like maybe all of these different possibilities exist at the same time, like each moment we live has a thousand other moments layered underneath it that look different. — Lauren Oliver

Detour Quotes By Sevada Harutyunyan

Detour from your dreams and life becomes nothing but a bore. — Sevada Harutyunyan

Detour Quotes By Matthew McConaughey

I like to be able to wear something that is appropriate for wherever the day takes me: to work, on a hike and then out to dinner. I like to take the formality out of the day's schedule and be ready for any off-road detour. — Matthew McConaughey

Detour Quotes By H. Jackson Brown Jr.

See any detour as an opportunity to experience new things. — H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Detour Quotes By Michel De Certeau

What does travel ultimately produce if it is not, by a sort of reversal, 'an exploration of the deserted places of my memory,' the return to nearby exoticism by way of a detour through distant places, and the 'discovery' of relics and legends: 'fleeting visions of the French countryside,' 'fragments of music and poetry,' in short, something like an 'uprooting in one's origins (Heidegger)? What this walking exile produces is precisely the body of legends that is currently lacking in one's own vicinity; it is a fiction, which moreover has the double characteristic like dreams or pedestrian rhetoric, or being the effect of displacements and condensations. As a corollary, one can measure the importance of these signifying practices (to tell oneself legends) as practices that invent spaces. — Michel De Certeau

Detour Quotes By James Jeans

The really happy person is the one who can enjoy the scenery, even when they have to take a detour.[make the best of what is necessary ... if you can't have what you love, love what you have ... as there are lovable or at least positive aspects in everything, because anything could be worse] — James Jeans

Detour Quotes By Shawn Amos

In the '60s, my father, Wally Amos, had been a talent agent and a personal manager before taking a major career detour in 1975, when he opened a store selling chocolate chip cookies. — Shawn Amos

Detour Quotes By Vikki Claflin

softly spoken apology for this detour in my life was powerful in its simplicity. — Vikki Claflin

Detour Quotes By Ian Gurvitz

According to a 2014 Huffington Post article, Southern states are consistently behind the rest of the country in wages, economic mobility, education, and health care. However, they lead the country in incest, teen pregnancy, gun deaths, incarceration, poverty, obesity, intoxication, and general unhappiness. They're also still hooked on creationism, and freaked out over gay marriage. It's like evolution took a detour, crashed through a dead end sign and plunged into a swamp. But instead of calling for help, it mated with the swamp creatures and built a civilization. — Ian Gurvitz

Detour Quotes By Irina Serban

Your steps will take you where you want them to take you. There is no such thing as unwanted detour. — Irina Serban

Detour Quotes By Morgan Matson

He stood and looked at me for a moment, taking in my outfit. "You look hot."
"What? Me?" I stammered, completely flummoxed.
"Yeah," he said, still looking at me.
"Oh. Um, thank you. I mean, not that you don't, but I'm not sure that you should - I mean ... "
"Oh, no," Roger said quickly, and I could see that he was blushing again. "No. I mean - I meant what you're wearing. Are you going to be too warm? — Morgan Matson

Detour Quotes By Leighton Ford

There is no detour to holiness, Jesus came to the resurrection through the cross, not around it. — Leighton Ford

Detour Quotes By Lewis B. Smedes

None of us wants to admit that we hate someone ... When we deny our hate we detour around the crisis of forgiveness. We suppress our spite, make adjustments, and make believe we are too good to be hateful. But the truth is that we do not dare to risk admitting the hate we feel because we do not dare to risk forgiving the person we hate. — Lewis B. Smedes

Detour Quotes By Brene Brown

Perfectionism is not the path that leads us to our gifts and to our sense of purpose; it's the hazardous detour. — Brene Brown

Detour Quotes By Behdad Sami

Failure does not exist. Once you hit the construction zone road blocks, follow the detour signs to get back to ur original path. — Behdad Sami

Detour Quotes By William Arthur Ward

Failure is delay, but not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead-end street. — William Arthur Ward

Detour Quotes By Nikhil Sharda

People shouldn't say one thing if they really mean the other. That's my problem with people, they say something without thinking about it. Without having experienced the opposites. I've been there, I've been everywhere. I tread the path of adventure, and the path was paved with gold, and every little detour was filled with joyous surprises. But then you get to the end, and the fates reveal your truth. One truth. The one truth. — Nikhil Sharda

Detour Quotes By Jeffrey Toobin

In the end, notwithstanding a surreal detour in the 1970s, Patricia led the life she for which she was destined back in Hillsborough. The story of Patricia Hearst, as extraordinary as it once was, had a familiar, even predictable ending. She did not turn into a revolutionary. She turned into her mother. — Jeffrey Toobin

Detour Quotes By Jack Dancer

When you come to a detour, take it. — Jack Dancer

Detour Quotes By Damien Chazelle

I actually grew up wanting to be a filmmaker. I wanted to make movies, and music was a detour, almost. — Damien Chazelle

Detour Quotes By Hermann Hesse

It took me many years to lose my spirit, to unlearn thinking and forget the unity. Isn't it just as if I had turned about slowly and was on a long detour from being a man to being a child, from a thinker to a childlike person? And yet, this path has been very good, and the bird in my chest has not died. But what a path this has been! I had to pass through so much stupidity, so many vices, so many errors, so much disgust, so many disappointments and woes just to begin again. But it was fitting this way; my heart says "Yes" to it and my eyes smile at it. I've had to experience despair. I've had to descend to the most foolish of all thoughts
the thought of suicide
in order to be able to experience divine grace, to hear "Om" again, to be able to sleep and awaken properly again [ ... ] Where else might my path lead me? This path is foolish; it moves in loops, and perhaps it is going around in a circle. Let it go where it likes; I want to follow it. — Hermann Hesse

Detour Quotes By Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa

Hollywood was a detour, although my mother was an aristocrat from Tokyo who ran away to join the theatre, so acting is in my genes. — Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa

Detour Quotes By Clay Aiken

If my career detour from special education to singing has done one thing, it has afforded me the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others. — Clay Aiken

Detour Quotes By Khang Kijarro Nguyen

Take a detour.
Discover small towns
and friendly faces
that don't grow along the highway. — Khang Kijarro Nguyen

Detour Quotes By Andrew Eldritch

We decided to play the NEC because we were asked to, and because we actually rather like the place: we've always enjoyed doing it before. We don't often get sensible offers to play in the UK, so most years we just play on the mainland, with the occasional exotic detour. — Andrew Eldritch

Detour Quotes By John Howard Yoder

The cross is not a detour or a hurdle on the way to the kingdom, nor is it even the way to the kingdom; it is the kingdom come. — John Howard Yoder

Detour Quotes By Bryan Kest

I see exercise taking this perverted detour. The original intention of exercise was to heal and maintain health. Now I see it as having nothing to do with health. I see most exercises based on looking good. They actually make you less healthy. You overdevelop the obvious muscles. You take drugs to enhance that. You ignore the rest, and you become more out of balance. — Bryan Kest

Detour Quotes By Helena Kalivoda

When the road is straight do not look for a detour. — Helena Kalivoda

Detour Quotes By Wes Fesler

When the quest of a dream has a detour or dip, look beyond your dismay and go finish the trip. — Wes Fesler

Detour Quotes By Peter J. Leithart

It is a strange story, the story of Jesus. To the Jews, it is not the story of Israel's redemption but some odd detour. For Christians, though, the story of Jesus is the final chapter of the story of Israel. For Christians, all that Israel hopes for - redemption from enemies, forgiveness of sins, triumph and exaltation, a restoration of Eden, the conversion of the nations, the earth filled with the glory of Israel's God - all of it comes to pass through Jesus. Not through the sword of Zealots, or the rigid purity of the Pharisees, or the political compromises of the Sadducees, or the withdrawal of the Essenes. Israel's story is carried to its conclusion by a different sort of Jew entirely, a different sort of holiness, a different story-line, a story-line of compassion, service, suffering, death. And, over all and transforming all, resurrection. For Jesus is risen. He is risen indeed. — Peter J. Leithart

Detour Quotes By Alena Graedon

But let me say this, and I'll say it only once: don't fool yourself into thinking you're just on a detour as you sail home for Ithaca. A little pit stop, if you like, with the Lotus-Eaters or Calypso. There's no Athena interceding on your behalf. No guarantee you'll eventually arrive. If there's something you really want in life - especially if it's something that scares you, or you think you don't deserve - you have to go after it and do it now. Or in the very long you'll be right: you won't deserve it. — Alena Graedon

Detour Quotes By Joe Biden

The senate is a place filled with goodwill and good intentions, and if the road to hell is paved with them, then it's a pretty good detour.
Hubert Humphrey, as quoted by Biden, p. 134 — Joe Biden

Detour Quotes By Neale Donald Walsch

Obstacles are not opposing you, but merely and gently re-routing you. It is important not to view that which stands in your way as your 'enemy.' It can often be your best friend, sending you on a detour that takes you around what would have been your biggest stumbling block. — Neale Donald Walsch

Detour Quotes By Joel Osteen

Your life may have taken a detour, but God is still on the throne. He has brought you this far, and sooner or later, your peace will be restored. — Joel Osteen

Detour Quotes By John Di Lemme

Someone Else's words can detour your potential! — John Di Lemme

Detour Quotes By Tom Hodgkinson

The siesta provides a delightful detour from the working day and it also has a practical value as far as productivity is concerned. Winston Churchill had a good long siesta every day during the Second World War, and he said it was the thing that enabled him to cope with the pressure. — Tom Hodgkinson

Detour Quotes By Henry Mitchell

Gardening is a long road, with many detours and way stations, and here we all are at one point or another. It's not a question of superior or inferior taste, merely a question of which detour we are on at the moment. Getting there (as they say) is not important; the wandering about in the wilderness or in the olive groves or in the bayous is the whole point. — Henry Mitchell
