Dust Quotations
Write your injuries in dust, your benefits in marble.
Benjamin Franklin
Write injuries in dust, benefits in marble.
Benjamin Franklin
His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred.
Ernest Hemingway
Dusting is a good example of the futility of trying to put things right. As soon as you dust, the fact of your next dusting has already been established.
George Carlin
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Pablo Picasso
The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.
Pablo Picasso
Your idol is shattered in the dust to prove that God's dust is greater than your idol.

From the solemn gloom of the temple children run out to sit in the dust, God watches them play and forgets the priest.
Rabindranath Tagore
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
T. S. Eliot
He ate and drank the precious Words, his Spirit grew robust; He knew no more that he was poor, nor that his frame was Dust.
