Storm Quotations
If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm.
Mahatma Gandhi
A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease.
John Muir
He only earns his freedom and his life Who takes them every day by storm.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?
Rose Kennedy
The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.
Albert Camus
The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.
Vincent Van Gogh
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
Rabindranath Tagore
It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.
Frederick Douglass
Old age is like a plane flying through a storm. Once you're aboard, there's nothing you can do.
Golda Meir
Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.
Robert H. Schuller
