![Lent Quotes By Kate Chopin Lent Quotes By Kate Chopin](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-kate-chopin-1087055.jpg)
She was a grown young woman when she was overtaken by what she supposed to be the climax of her fate. It was when the face and figure of a great tragedian began to haunt her imagination and stir her senses. The persistence of the infatuation lent it an aspect of genuineness. The hopelessness of it colored it with the lofty tones of a great passion. — Kate Chopin
![Lent Quotes By Thomas Keating Lent Quotes By Thomas Keating](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-thomas-keating-517217.jpg)
Lent is a time to renew wherever we are in that process that I call the divine therapy. It's a time to look what our instinctual needs are, look at what the dynamics of our unconscious are. — Thomas Keating

![Lent Quotes By Ursula K. Le Guin Lent Quotes By Ursula K. Le Guin](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-ursula-k-le-guin-1060456.jpg)
The word he used was not "wallowing," there being no animals on Anarres to make wallows; it was a compound, meaning literally "coating continually and thickly with excrement." The flexibility and precision of Pravic lent itself to the creation of vivid metaphors quite unforeseen by its inventors. — Ursula K. Le Guin

[about a book lent by a crush]
Last night I read into the wee small hours. Fell asleep with my face in the book, my nose pressed up against the print. Could smell Sean on the pages, the lingering odours from his sportsbag. Man scent, liniment, damp earth. — Bob Condron

![Lent Quotes By Patti Smith Lent Quotes By Patti Smith](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-patti-smith-1585587.jpg)
I wasn't writing, I wasn't drawing, and personality-wise, I was just completely arrogant. I'm not trying to be overly apologetic for my behavior - I wasn't evil. The lifestyle I had was one that lent itself to becoming more and more self-involved. — Patti Smith
![Lent Quotes By G. Willow Wilson Lent Quotes By G. Willow Wilson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-g-willow-wilson-1438077.jpg)
You lent me The Golden Compass! It's full of jinni trickery, and you were angry at me when I told you that made it dangerous! Why do you get mad when religion tells you that the things you want to be true are true?
When it's true, it's not fun anymore. All right? When it's true it's scary. — G. Willow Wilson
![Lent Quotes By Karen Russell Lent Quotes By Karen Russell](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-karen-russell-754803.jpg)
I believe I met my mother there, in the final instant. Not her ghost but some vaster portion of her, her self boundlessly recharged beneath the water. Her courage. In the cave I think she must have lent me some of it, because the strength I felt then was as huge as the sun. The yellow inside you that makes you want to live. I believe that she was the pulse and bloom that forced me toward the surface. — Karen Russell
![Lent Quotes By Adrian Lamo Lent Quotes By Adrian Lamo](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-adrian-lamo-710870.jpg)
At age 13, I was violently mugged at a busy train station. There were dozens of onlookers, but none of them lent a hand ... That was a defining point in that stage of my life. After that, I could never tell myself that it was someone else's problem, or let a situation pass me by if I felt something had to be done. I knew from experience that all too often, no one else would act. — Adrian Lamo
![Lent Quotes By Pope Benedict XVI Lent Quotes By Pope Benedict XVI](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-pope-benedict-xvi-2164544.jpg)
Sometimes men and women prefer the darkness to the light because they are attached to their sins. Nevertheless it is only by opening oneself to the light and only by sincerely confessing one's sins to God that one finds true peace and true joy. It is therefore important to receive the Sacrament of Penance regularly, especially during Lent, in order to receive the Lord's forgiveness and to intensify our process of conversion. — Pope Benedict XVI
![Lent Quotes By William Gibson Lent Quotes By William Gibson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-william-gibson-1394373.jpg)

![Lent Quotes By Hilary Mantel Lent Quotes By Hilary Mantel](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-hilary-mantel-646454.jpg)
I don't grudge them some bodily comforts. It cannot always be Lent. What I cannot stomach is hypocrisy, fraud, idleness - their worn-out relics, their threadbare worship, and their lack of invention. When did anything good last come from a monastery? They do not invent, they only repeat, and what they repeat is corrupt. For hundreds of years the monks have held the pen, and what they have written is what we take to be our history, but I do not believe it really is. I believe they have suppressed the history they don't like, and written one that is favorable to Rome. Henry appears to look straight through him, — Hilary Mantel
![Lent Quotes By Mitch Albom Lent Quotes By Mitch Albom](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-mitch-albom-875210.jpg)
If the only thing wrong with Moses is that he's not yours; if the only thing wrong with Jesus is that he's not yours; if the only thing wrong with mosques, Lent, chanting, Mecca, Buddha, confession, or reincarnation is that they're not yours
well, maybe the problem is you. — Mitch Albom
![Lent Quotes By Amrit Sinha Lent Quotes By Amrit Sinha](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-amrit-sinha-405888.jpg)
For the first time Vishal had understood what success truly meant. It came at a cost. It came at the expense of others' failure. It did not necessarily merit one's integrity, passion or zeal. It did not worry about the method either. It could not be swapped, lent or borrowed. It was a lonelier place. Smile to a mere few at expense of several heartbreaks. Yet if success was that important, he needed to value it. Life is cruel.
- Beginning with a Comma, Ch 10 — Amrit Sinha
![Lent Quotes By Mary Carolyn Davies Lent Quotes By Mary Carolyn Davies](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-mary-carolyn-davies-2191791.jpg)
If I had known what trouble you were bearing;
What griefs were in the silence of your face;
I would have been more gentle, and more caring,
And tried to give you gladness for a space.
I would have brought more warmth into the place,
If I had known.
If I had known what thoughts despairing drew you;
(Why do we never try to understand?)
I would have lent a little friendship to you,
And slipped my hand within your hand,
And made your stay more pleasant in the land,
If I had known. — Mary Carolyn Davies
![Lent Quotes By Alberto Manguel Lent Quotes By Alberto Manguel](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-alberto-manguel-1687236.jpg)
Rooms, corridors, bookcases, shelves, filing cards, and computerized catalogues assume that the subjects on which our thoughts dwell are actual entities, and through this assumption a certain book may be lent a particular tone and value. Filed under Fiction, Jonathon Swift's Gulliver's Travels is a humorous novel of adventure; under Sociology, a satirical study of England in the eighteenth century; under Children's Literature, an entertaining fable about dwarfs and giants and talking horses; under Fantasy, a precursor of science fiction; under Travel, an imaginary voyage; under Classics, a part of the Western literary canon. Categories are exclusive; reading is not--or should not be. Whatever classifications have been chosen, every library tyrannizes the act of reading, and forces the reader--the curious reader, the alert reader--to rescue the book from the category to which it has been condemned. — Alberto Manguel
![Lent Quotes By Titus Lucretius Carus Lent Quotes By Titus Lucretius Carus](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-titus-lucretius-carus-1662587.jpg)
Epicureanism was a philosophy that brought peace and quiet rather than inspiration and exhilaration; based on a theory of the exclusive validity of sense perception and on an ethical doctrine that pleasure was the criterion of the good, it lent itself not only to a dull and flat dialectic but also to gross misinterpretation. Although, — Titus Lucretius Carus
![Lent Quotes By Ethel Merman Lent Quotes By Ethel Merman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-ethel-merman-1613942.jpg)
At one time I smoked, but in 1959 I couldn't think of anything else to give up for Lent so I stopped - and I haven't had a cigarette since. — Ethel Merman
![Lent Quotes By Emily Arden Lent Quotes By Emily Arden](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-emily-arden-1730744.jpg)
Perhaps it was the darkness and secrecy that lent an extra layer of excitement to their meeting? Certainly, all of her other senses felt heightened to an almost unbearable extent. She couldn't see, but she could hear the distant strains of dance music as the steady beat thrummed through her body; and she could feel so much with just one touch. — Emily Arden
![Lent Quotes By Patrick Rothfuss Lent Quotes By Patrick Rothfuss](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-patrick-rothfuss-1246840.jpg)
Inherent power you possess as part of yourself. Granted power is lent or given by other people. — Patrick Rothfuss
![Lent Quotes By Pope Benedict XVI Lent Quotes By Pope Benedict XVI](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-pope-benedict-xvi-1165296.jpg)
Lent is like a long 'retreat' during which we can turn back into ourselves and listen to the voice of God, in order to defeat the temptations of the Evil One. It is a period of spiritual 'combat' which we must experience alongside Jesus, not with pride and presumption, but using the arms of faith: prayer, listening to the word of God and penance. In this way we will be able to celebrate Easter in truth, ready to renew the promises of our Baptism. — Pope Benedict XVI
![Lent Quotes By Cindy Skaggs Lent Quotes By Cindy Skaggs](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-cindy-skaggs-1574359.jpg)
Logan felt it, even if he wanted to deny it. His pupils were dilated and he stared at her like she was chocolate and tomorrow was the first day of Lent. Sure, she might be forbidden, but no one could withstand temptation forever. Not when it was so close. The car roared to life as Logan started it back onto the road. So he thought to ignore the attraction? Good luck. He might be a rule follower, but Sofia wasn't. He didn't stand a chance in hell. — Cindy Skaggs
![Lent Quotes By Marcus Tullius Cicero Lent Quotes By Marcus Tullius Cicero](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-marcus-tullius-cicero-1534497.jpg)
Nature has lent us life at interest, like money, and has fixed no day for its payment. — Marcus Tullius Cicero
![Lent Quotes By Reinhard Selten Lent Quotes By Reinhard Selten](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-reinhard-selten-1312686.jpg)
When I was born, my father owned a business called a 'reading circle'; folders containing an assortment of magazines were lent to customers for one week, then recollected and lent out again. The older the folder, the lower was the fee. This was a flourishing branch of industry. — Reinhard Selten
![Lent Quotes By Angie Smith Lent Quotes By Angie Smith](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-angie-smith-1518644.jpg)
Sorrow is one of the things that are lent, not given. A thing that is lent may be taken away; a thing that is given is not taken away. Joy is given; sorrow is lent. We are not our own, we are bought with a price ... [Our sorrow] is lent us for just a little while that we may use it for eternal purposes. Then it will be taken away and everlasting joy will be our Father's gift to us, and the Lord God will wipe away all the tears from off all faces. - Amy Carmichael — Angie Smith
![Lent Quotes By Sanjida Kay Lent Quotes By Sanjida Kay](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-sanjida-kay-1373865.jpg)
A cool white, wintry light glazed the buildings on the highest hill: Will's memorial, the unsightly chimney from the hospital, the modernist cathedral in Clifton. The jumble of styles and eras lent the city the semblance of a medieval Roman town. Laura drove the long way round, up past the Clifton Suspension Bridge, strung like an a engineer's dream over a river sinking into the mud. Leigh Woods was on the far side, the trees dark, bereft of leaves, clawing at the sky. — Sanjida Kay
![Lent Quotes By Greg Giraldo Lent Quotes By Greg Giraldo](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-greg-giraldo-1460605.jpg)
I like when people give up chocolate for Lent. Ooh, just like being nailed to a cross. — Greg Giraldo
![Lent Quotes By Edward Young Lent Quotes By Edward Young](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-edward-young-1442511.jpg)
Man wants but little, nor that little long; How soon must he resign his very dust, Which frugal nature lent him for an hour! — Edward Young
![Lent Quotes By Charles Stross Lent Quotes By Charles Stross](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-charles-stross-1417835.jpg)
Back before the internet we had a name for people who bought a single copy of our books and lent them to all their friends without charging: we called them "librarians". — Charles Stross
![Lent Quotes By Marcel Proust Lent Quotes By Marcel Proust](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-marcel-proust-1970064.jpg)
The paradoxes of today are the prejudices of tomorrow, since the most benighted and the most deplorable prejudices have had their moment of novelty when fashion lent them its fragile grace. — Marcel Proust
![Lent Quotes By Alison Weir Lent Quotes By Alison Weir](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-alison-weir-2216131.jpg)
A husband or wife did not have the right either to demand sex from his or her spouse or to refuse it, and there was a catalogue of forbidden sexual practices, notably homosexuality, bestiality, certain sexual positions, masturbation, the use of aphrodisiacs, and oral sex, which could incur a penance of three years' duration. Nor were people to make love on Sundays, holy days, or feast days, or during Lent, pregnancy, or menstruation. People believed that if these rules were disobeyed, deformed children or lepers might result. — Alison Weir
![Lent Quotes By Andy Serkis Lent Quotes By Andy Serkis](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-andy-serkis-2203244.jpg)
People used to say, 'Andy Serkis lent his movements to Gollum,' and now they say, 'Andy Serkis played Caesar.' That's a significant leap. — Andy Serkis
![Lent Quotes By Courtney Milan Lent Quotes By Courtney Milan](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-courtney-milan-2190995.jpg)
Miss Marshall was wearing a ghastly green gown, one that had no doubt been lent to her by a friend. It fit rather poorly, gaping at the bosom and stretching at the hips. The color dimmed the fire of her hair - which, without her normal pins, refused to stay in place. Little strands made an auburn halo around her head.
He'd never seen anything quite so lovely. — Courtney Milan
![Lent Quotes By Chaka Khan Lent Quotes By Chaka Khan](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-chaka-khan-2127531.jpg)
I was born and raised in the University of Chicago area and had an uneventful middle-class Catholic childhood. I had a heavy Catholic upbringing and Catholicism is terrible - it's the reason there were slaves. Mass every morning at seven o'clock during Lent. It's a totally negative, man-made religion. — Chaka Khan
![Lent Quotes By Tony Benn Lent Quotes By Tony Benn](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-tony-benn-2108220.jpg)
If democracy is destroyed in Britain it will be not the communists, Trotskyists or subversives but this House which threw it away. The rights that are entrusted to us are not for us to give away. Even if I agree with everything that is proposed, I cannot hand away powers lent to me for five years by the people of Chesterfield. I just could not do it. It would be theft of public rights. — Tony Benn
![Lent Quotes By Joris-Karl Huysmans Lent Quotes By Joris-Karl Huysmans](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-joris-karl-huysmans-2100223.jpg)
Every one has a sum of physical and moral suffering to pay, and whoever does not settle it here below, defrays it after death; happiness is only lent, and must be repaid; its very phantoms are like duties paid in advance on a future succession of sorrows. — Joris-Karl Huysmans
![Lent Quotes By Matthew Arnold Lent Quotes By Matthew Arnold](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-matthew-arnold-2012861.jpg)
One thing only has been lent to youth and age in common
discontent. — Matthew Arnold
![Lent Quotes By Gregory David Roberts Lent Quotes By Gregory David Roberts](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-gregory-david-roberts-1990603.jpg)
There's a theory that snoring at night in sleep is a subconscious defence reflex-a warning sound that frightened potential predators away from the mouth of the cave when our lower-paleolithic ancestors huddled in vulnerable sleep. That group of nomads, cameleers, sheep and goat herders, farmers, and guerilla fighters lent credibility to the idea, for they snored so thunderously and with such persistent ferocity through the long, cold night that they would've frightened a pride of ravenous lions into scattering like startled mice. — Gregory David Roberts
![Lent Quotes By Tituss Burgess Lent Quotes By Tituss Burgess](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-tituss-burgess-1983388.jpg)
There's a bit of a difference in the way he sounds. Samuel E. Wright lent his voice and personality to the animated film with his booming voice. I have a high-tenor voice. Instead, I have to figure out a way to convince the audience to come along with me and accept this new texture and tambour to the way Sebastian sounds. I have a great dialect coach. — Tituss Burgess
![Lent Quotes By Trent Reznor Lent Quotes By Trent Reznor](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-trent-reznor-1745482.jpg)
One of the biggest wake-up calls of my career was when I saw a record contract. I said, 'Wait - you sell it for $18.98 and I make 80 cents? And I have to pay you back the money you lent me to make it and then you own it?' — Trent Reznor
![Lent Quotes By A.O. Esther Lent Quotes By A.O. Esther](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-a-o-esther-1949621.jpg)
The first thing I saw was a handsome stranger. He was leaning over me and I luxuriated in his cool, radiantly blue eyes, glittering like diamonds.
How could someone be so perfect?
Drops of water glistened on his dark hair. There was a small dimple on his chin, covered with light stubble that lent his otherwise stern face a boyish attitude. I realised I was losing myself in his gaze — A.O. Esther
![Lent Quotes By Alexander Pope Lent Quotes By Alexander Pope](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-alexander-pope-1925451.jpg)
Of darkness visible so much be lent, as half to show, half veil, the deep intent. — Alexander Pope
![Lent Quotes By David Bowles Lent Quotes By David Bowles](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-david-bowles-1865097.jpg)
It's only here on earth, my friends,
We're lent to each other, for at the end
We leave the beautiful songs behind ...
We leave the beautiful blooms behind. — David Bowles
![Lent Quotes By Benjamin Franklin Lent Quotes By Benjamin Franklin](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-benjamin-franklin-1864703.jpg)
That bodies should be lent us, while they can afford us pleasure, assist us in acquiring knowledge, or doing good to our fellow creatures, is a kind and benevolent act of God - when they become unfit for these purposes and afford us pain instead of pleasure-instead of an aid, become an encumbrance and answer none of the intentions for which they were given, it is equally kind and benevolent that a way is provided by which we may get rid of them. Death is that way. — Benjamin Franklin
![Lent Quotes By Amy Poehler Lent Quotes By Amy Poehler](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-amy-poehler-1856942.jpg)
It seemed like a hybrid of Spinal Tap, the British The Office, and something entirely original. Scenes would be blocked and rehearsed almost like a play, with entire scenes performed top to bottom many times. Two or three cameras would find the action and just follow the actors as they moved around. Actors often didn't know when they were on camera or where the cameras were. "Spy shots" lent a sense of intimacy to moments. Actors were allowed to look into the camera to show their reactions to things and spoke directly to the camera with "talking heads," used to further the story or display another side of what a character was feeling.15, 16 Camera operators were very close or very far away but a dynamic part of the action. We would shoot eight or nine pages in a twelve-hour day, which is about double what one shoots on a feature film. — Amy Poehler
![Lent Quotes By Ephrem The Syrian Lent Quotes By Ephrem The Syrian](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-ephrem-the-syrian-1821833.jpg)
Blessed the one who loves truth continually and has not lent his mouth as an instrument of impiety by lying, for he fears the commandment about idle speech. — Ephrem The Syrian
![Lent Quotes By Jon Stewart Lent Quotes By Jon Stewart](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-jon-stewart-1819943.jpg)
Yon Kippur. Greatest Jewish holiday ever. The Jewish day of attonement. You don't ear for one day, all your sins for the year are wiped clean. Beat that with your little Lent. What is Lent? Forty days of absolution. Forty days to one day. Even in sin you're paying retail. — Jon Stewart
![Lent Quotes By Jimmy Fallon Lent Quotes By Jimmy Fallon](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-jimmy-fallon-1752514.jpg)
Iran said it will give up trying to make a nuclear weapon. But it got awkward when Iran said, 'But just for Lent. We'll start again on Monday.' — Jimmy Fallon
![Lent Quotes By Arthur Schopenhauer Lent Quotes By Arthur Schopenhauer](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-arthur-schopenhauer-1747363.jpg)
On hearing of the interesting events which have happened in the course of a man's experience, many people will wish that similar things had happened in their lives too, completely forgetting that they should be envious rather of the mental aptitude which lent those events the significance they possess when he describes them ; to a man of genius they were interesting adventures; but to the dull perceptions of an ordinary individual they would have been stale, everyday occurrences.
This is, in the highest degree, the case with many of Goethe's and Byron's poems, which are obviously founded upon actual facts; where it is open to a foolish reader to envy the poet because so many delightful things happened to him, instead of envying that mighty power of fantasy which was capable of turning a fairly common experience into something so great and beautiful. — Arthur Schopenhauer
![Lent Quotes By Arthur Conan Doyle Lent Quotes By Arthur Conan Doyle](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-arthur-conan-doyle-301192.jpg)

I was the first actress who branded her own line at a time when everyone just lent their name to a product. Everyone said I shouldn't do it, but it was probably the best thing I've ever done. — Jaclyn Smith
![Lent Quotes By Alex Turner Lent Quotes By Alex Turner](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-alex-turner-727607.jpg)
'Hatful of Hollow' and 'The Smiths' were lent to me, and they made me want to create music that might make another person feel like they made me feel - to have an effect on someone. — Alex Turner
![Lent Quotes By Zadie Smith Lent Quotes By Zadie Smith](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-zadie-smith-684421.jpg)
Archie says -Science- the same way he says -Modern-, as if someone has lent him the words and made him swear not to break them. — Zadie Smith
![Lent Quotes By Percy Bysshe Shelley Lent Quotes By Percy Bysshe Shelley](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-percy-bysshe-shelley-668702.jpg)
Love, hope, and self-esteem, like clouds depart
And come, for some uncertain moments lent.
Man were immortal and omnipotent,
Didst thou, unknown and awful as thou art,
Keep with thy glorious train firm state within his heart. — Percy Bysshe Shelley
![Lent Quotes By Willa Cather Lent Quotes By Willa Cather](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-willa-cather-658874.jpg)
Antonia had always been one to leave images in the mind that did not fade - that grew stronger with time. In my memory there was a succession of such pictures, fixed there like the old woodcuts of one's first primer ... She lent herself to immemorial human attitudes which we recognize by instinct as universal and true ... She was a battered woman now, not a lovely girl; but she still had that something which fires the imagination, could still stop one's breath for a moment by a look or gesture ... All the strong things of her heart came out in her body, that had been so tireless in serving generous emotions. — Willa Cather
![Lent Quotes By Richard Feynman Lent Quotes By Richard Feynman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-richard-feynman-617554.jpg)
So the librarians at UCLA worked very hard to find another copy of Villacorta's rendition of the Dresden Codex, and lent it to me. — Richard Feynman
![Lent Quotes By David Halberstam Lent Quotes By David Halberstam](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-david-halberstam-561911.jpg)
Particular rootlessness of the society had always lent itself to powerful extremes of both the left and the right, there was, in the volatility and evanescence of the culture an atmosphere ripe for extremism, each side with its own Utopian dreams, each side driving the other to a more polarized position. — David Halberstam
![Lent Quotes By Andrew Tudor Lent Quotes By Andrew Tudor](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-andrew-tudor-531430.jpg)
Typical horror movies of the 1930s were often given a period setting in what looked like a kind of stylized 19th century ... the sense of 'elsewhen', of distance, lent to many of these movies by their settings. They exist, as it were, in a 19th century of the mind. — Andrew Tudor
![Lent Quotes By David Ricardo Lent Quotes By David Ricardo](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-david-ricardo-504299.jpg)
Whether a bank lent one million, ten million, or a hundred millions, they would not permanently alter the market rate of interest; they would alter only the value of the money they issued. — David Ricardo
![Lent Quotes By Ludwig Tieck Lent Quotes By Ludwig Tieck](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-ludwig-tieck-310632.jpg)
Wake not the Dead: - they bring but gloomy night
And cheerless desolation into day
For in the grave who mouldering lay,
No more can feel the influence of light,
Or yield them to the sun's prolific might;
Let them repose within their house of clay -
Corruption, wilt thou vainly e'er essay
To quicken: - it sends forth a prest'lent blight;
And neither fiery sun, nor bathing dew,
Nor breath of Spring the dead can e'er renew.
That which from life is pluck'd, becomes the foe
Of life, and whoso wakes it waketh woe.
Seek not the dead to waken from that sleep
In which from mortal eye they lie enshrouded deep. — Ludwig Tieck
![Lent Quotes By Ralph Waldo Emerson Lent Quotes By Ralph Waldo Emerson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-ralph-waldo-emerson-764720.jpg)
Broader and deeper we must write our annals, from an ethical reformation, from an influx of the ever new, ever sanative conscience, if we would trulier express our central and wide-related nature, instead of this old chronology of selfishness and pride to which we have too long lent our eyes. Already that day exists for us, shines in on us at unawares, but the path of science and of letters is not the way into nature. The idiot, the Indian, the child, and unschooled farmer's boy, stand nearer to the light by which nature is to be read, than the dissector or the antiquary. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

One thing that makes me very happy is to see the growing activism among chefs in America. Chefs like Tom Colicchio, Bill Telepan, and Rachel Ray and food writers like Michael Pollan have gone to Congress, indeed sometimes even have testified before Congress, have lent this support to Mrs. Obama's effort to combat childhood obesity. — Jose Andres

... Protestantism, in its quest for 'rational knowledge' of God's purpose and for an understanding of this world, engendered its own demise, for it lent legitimacy to a secular science that in turn rejected and devalued all religious values. And in this respect, Protestantism effectively devalued or disenchanted itself, for in its attempt to prove its own intrinsic rationality through non-religious means it affirmed the value of science, and with this laid itself open to the charge of irrationalism and to attack from the outside from 'rational', secular forms of this-worldly legitimation. — Nicholas Gane

Spending so much time stuffing everything that lent itself to filling in any way or form, I am not surprised that the Jerusalemites never had time to raise their heads or look out of their windows to see what their neighbours were up to. — Suad Amiry

She'd neglected makeup entirely, and those damn black eyes lent her the appearance of a raccoon. A raccoon that had gotten hit in the face. After a lifetime of poor nutrition. The silence was broken only by the humming of the lift, and it felt conspicuous. — Daniel O'Malley
![Lent Quotes By Benjamin Franklin Lent Quotes By Benjamin Franklin](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-benjamin-franklin-224725.jpg)
We are spirits. That bodies should be lent us while they afford us pleasure, assist us in acquiring knowledge or in doing good to our fellow-creatures, is a kind of benevolent act of God. When they become unfit for these purposes and afford us pain instead of pleasure, instead of an aid become an encumbrance and answer none of these intentions for which they were given, it is equally kind and benevolent that a way is provided by which we get rid of them. Death is that way. — Benjamin Franklin

So I pulled a gun on him and demanded his wallet."
The soda in my mouth becomes the soda in my nose. "You had a gun?" I cough and sputter into my napkin.
Mom's eyes go round and she pressed her finger to her lips, mouthing, "Shhh!"
"Where did you get a gun?" I hiss.
"Oliver lent it to me. He was always looking out for me. Told me to shoot first and run. He said the asking-questions-later part was for the police." She grins at my expression. "Does that earn me cool points?"
I swirl a fry in the mound of ketchup on my plate. "You want cool points for pulling a gun on my father?" I say it with all the appropriate disdain and condescension it deserves, but deep down, we both know she gets mega cool points for it.
"Psh." She waves her hand. "I didn't even know whether or not it would fire. And anyway, he didn't hand me his wallet. He propositioned me instead."
"Okay. Ew."
"Not like that, you brat. — Anna Banks

God has lent us the earth for our life; it is a great entail. It belongs as much to those who are to come after us, and whose names are already written in the book of creation, as to us; and we have no right, by anything that we do or neglect, to involve them in unnecessary penalties, or deprive them of benefits which it was in our power to bequeath. — John Ruskin

Large-scale enthusiasm for folk music began in 1958 when the Kingston Trio recorded a song, "Tom Dooley," that sold two million records. This opened the way for less slickly commercial performers. Some, like Pete Seeger, who had been singing since the depression, were veteran performers. Others, like Joan Baez, were newcomers. It was conventional for folk songs to tell a story. Hence the idiom had always lent itself to propaganda. Seeger possessed an enormous repertoire of message songs that had gotten him blacklisted by the mass media years before. Joan Baez cared more for the message than the music, and after a few years devoted herself mainly to peace work. — William L. O'Neill

I thought the idea of 'Smurfs' lent itself to the 3-D environment pretty well, I think, better than some of the farm animal movies that have been done before. I was a fan of the 'Smurfs' and they come with their own fan base, which I thought was nice. — Neil Patrick Harris

ON THE RETURN OF A BOOK
LENT TO A FRIEND
I GIVE humble and hearty thanks for the safe return of this book which having endured the perils of my friend's bookcase, and the bookcases of my friend's friends, now returns to me in reasonably good condition.
I GIVE humble and hearty thanks that my friend did not see fit to give this book to his infant as a plaything, nor use it as an ash-tray for his burning cigar, nor as a teething-ring for his mastiff.
WHEN I lent this book I deemed it as lost: I was resigned to the bitterness of the long parting: I never thought to look upon its pages again.
BUT NOW that my book is come back to me, I rejoice and am exceeding glad! Bring hither the fatted morocco and let us rebind the volume and set it on the shelf of honour: for this my book was lent, and is returned again.
PRESENTLY, therefore, I may return some of the books that I myself have borrowed. — Christopher Morley

Then came the second Amsterdam discovery, although the principle was known elsewhere. Bank deposits ... did not need to be left idly in the bank. They could be lent. The bank then got interest. The borrower then had a deposit that he could spend. But the original deposit still stood to the credit of the original depositor. That too could be spent. Money, spendable money, had been created. Let no one rub his or her eyes. It's still being done-every day. The creation of money by a bank is as simple as this, so simple, I've often said, that the mind is slightly repelled. — John Kenneth Galbraith

Death is not the enemy of life, but its friend, for it is the knowledge that our years are limited which makes them so precious. It is the truth that time is but lent to us which makes us, at our best, look upon our years as a trust handed into our temporary keeping. — Joshua L. Liebman
![Lent Quotes By James Joyce Lent Quotes By James Joyce](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-james-joyce-1221940.jpg)
The causes of his embitterment were many, remote and near. He was angry with himself for being young and the prey of restless foolish impulses, angry also with the change of fortune which was reshaping the world about him into a vision of squalor and insincerity. Yet his anger lent nothing to the vision. He chronicled with patience what he saw, detaching himself from it and tasting its mortifying flavour in secret. — James Joyce

![Lent Quotes By Pope Benedict XIV Lent Quotes By Pope Benedict XIV](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lent-quote-by-pope-benedict-xiv-933469.jpg)
The observance of Lent is the very badge of Christian warfare. By it we prove ourselves not to be enemies of Christ. By it we avert the scourges of divine justice. By it we gain strength against the princes of darkness, for it shields us with heavenly help. Should men grow remiss in their observance of Lent, it would be a detriment to God's glory, a disgrace to the Catholic religion, and a danger to Christian souls. Neither can it be doubted that such negligence would become the source of misery to the world, of public calamity, and of private woe. — Pope Benedict XIV

Let them be gone now, them and all the others, those I have used and those I have not used, give me back the pains I lent them and vanish, from my life, my memory, my terrors and shames. There, now there is no one here but me, no one wheels about me, no one comes toward me, no one has ever met anyone before my eyes, these creatures have never been, only I and this black void have ever been. — Samuel Beckett

Sitting in the flickering light of the candles on this kerchief of sand, on this village square, we waited in the night. We were waiting for the rescuing dawn - or for the Moors. Something, I know not what, lent this night a savor of Christmas. We told stories, we joked, we sang songs. In the air there was that slight fever that reigns over a gaily prepared feast. And yet we were infinitely poor. Wind, sand, and stars. The austerity of Trappists. But on this badly lighted cloth, a handful of men who possessed nothing in the world but their memories were sharing invisible riches. — Antoine De Saint-Exupery
