Dreams surely are difficult, confusing, and not everything in them is brought to pass for mankind. For fleeting dreams have two gates one is fashioned of horn and one of ivory. Those which pass through the one of sawn ivory are deceptive, bringing tidings which come to nought, but those which issue from the one of polished horn bring true results when a mortal sees them. – HomerRate it:

Lest not regret. It is by mere fleeting chance that any of us exist.I do not believe the paths we take and the choices we make are an illusion as some may.Every person can alter things in their own life and even affect others, much like the stars and planets that are already set on a path of there own, affecting many others around them.The life and death of a star or even a galaxy can give us a feeling of insignificance compared to our own lives for who will care once we have all turned to dust; I say care for you the future is jus another moment in time in which we cannot regret.So live your life with no regrets and it shall be a happy one, the thought of death is the most fearful thing there is:hence why most never give it much thought.It is but a consolation dying in your bed many years from now knowing that you left nothing on the table,held nothing back and led your life full without regret. – Ronnie RicknerRate it:
To love someone fiercely, to believe in something with your whole heart, to celebrate a fleeting moment in time, to fully engage in a life that doesn’t come with guarantees – these are risks that involve vulnerability and often pain. But, I’m learning that recognizing and leaning into the discomfort of vulnerability teaches us how to live with joy, gratitude and grace. – Brené BrownRate it:
True love isn’t a fleeting thing; contrarily, it is a current of water that replenishes effortlessly, as its inherent, underlying duty is to do just that. Like truth, love shall set you free. – Nicki LeyRate it:
What importance can we attach to the things of this world? Friendship? It disappears when the one who is liked comes to grief, or the one who likes becomes powerful. Love? it is deceived, fleeting, or guilty. Fame? You share it with mediocrity or crime. Fortune? Could that frivolity be counted a blessing? All that remains are those so-called happy days that flow past unnoticed in the obscurity of domestic cares, leaving man with the desire neither to lose his life nor to begin it over. – ChateaubriandRate it:
How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks. – Dorothy Sayers, Gaudy NightRate it:
Life is short. Time is fleeting. Realize the Self. Purity of the heart is the gateway to God. Aspire. Renounce. Meditate. Be good do good. Be kind be compassionate. Inquire, know Thyself. – Swami SivanadaRate it:
Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. – Book of ProverbsRate it:
1. And paradise on earth will come when all souls grow old in the circles of reincarnation and the wheel of samsara, the stupid desires of despair will die. All desire is meaningless because everything is fleeting, everything that you create quickly decays and is subject to oblivion. Success and happiness smolder like a corpse. Everything plunges into old age, even souls and consciousness. 2. 1. You are a fish swimming in someone else's egoism. 2. Lonely people merge with eternity and reality. 3. Loneliness is a fear of eternity, love is an attempt to keep eternity in the moment. Author: Musin Almat Zhumabekovich – Musin Almat ZhumabekovichRate it:
According to conviction, I am not simply what I am doing now. I am also what I have done, and my conventionally edited version of my past is made to seem almost more the real me than what I am at this moment. For what I am seems so fleeting and intangible, but what I was is fixed and final. It is the firm basis for predictions of what I will be in the future, and so it comes about that I am more closely identified with what no longer exists than with what actually is – Alan B. WattsRate it:
Because it is occasionally possible, just for brief moments, to find the words that will unlock the doors of all those many mansions inside the head and express something - perhaps not much, just something - of the crush of information that presses in on us from the way a crow flies over and the way a man walks and the look of a street and from what we did one day a dozen years ago. Words that will express something of the deep complexity that makes us precisely the way we are, from the momentary effect of the barometer to the force that created men distinct from trees. Something of the inaudible music that moves us along in our bodies from moment to moment like water in a river. Something of the spirit of the snowflake in the water of the river. Something of the duplicity and the relativity and the merely fleeting quality of all this. Something of the almighty importance of it and something of the utter meaninglessness. And when words can manage something of this, and manage it in a moment, of time, and in that same moment, make out of it all the vital signature of a human being - not of an atom, or of a geometrical diagram, or of a heap of lenses - but a human being, we call it poetry. – Ted HughesRate it:
Demands to eliminate this threshold from whichever party holds the fleeting majority amount to a group of people separated on two sides of a canyon shouting that solution to their colleagues. I understand there’s some on both sides of the aisle, how embarrassing for Joe Biden. – Kyrsten SinemaRate it:
For the perfect idler, for the passionate observer it becomes an immense source of enjoyment to establish his dwelling in the throng, in the ebb and flow, the bustle, the fleeting and the infinite. To be away from home and yet to feel at home anywhere; to see the world, to be at the very center of the world, and yet to be unseen of the world, such are some of the minor pleasures of those independent, intense and impartial spirits, who do not lend themselves easily to linguistic definitions. The observer is a prince enjoying his incognito wherever he goes. – Charles BaudelaireRate it:
Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever. – NapoleonRate it:
God did not create the past, present and future, this moment is up to you to decide whether it will be fleeting or unforgettable.” – Wesley D'AmicoRate it:
God wastes no time on fleeting things. – Wesley D'Amico Rate it:
How like a winter hath my absence been From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen, What old December's bareness everywhere – William ShakespeareRate it:
I know attention to this crisis is very fleeting, i have a sense of urgency of getting a piece of legislation that we can shop to colleagues. I don't know what we'll have by Monday. – Chris MurphyRate it:
I look at her, the pictures and fleeting video clips, and I feel the ground shakes and you don’t know what’s going to happen. – Kristen StewartRate it:
I realized I need to try and start helping people with this story and bring people together rather than push them apart. While he said he still gota little angry sometimes when questioning why his team was left behind in Benghazi, those emotions were fleeting anddissipatingbecause of me realizing I can help people. – Kris Tanto ParontoRate it:
I was a lasso instructor and a lariat importer, and they were all weird, fleeting jobs, i've been fortunate to do music all my life, and I've done enough acting to make it fun. – Bruce HamptonRate it:
I ’d like to express how little faith I have in this board to do the right thing today or in the months to come, i genuinely hope that I’ve effectively insulted at least a few of you right now, because that insignificant and fleeting feeling that you’re experiencing in this particular moment is absolutely nothing in comparison to the persistent and often debilitating fear that survivors at LSU suffer on a daily basis as a direct result of your deliberate indifference to abuse on this campus. – Caroline SchroederRate it:
It was all right to talk about it. They made plans. They had a moment's vision, a fleeting dream. But in the end, some lack in their moral fiber, some gnawing, nibbling fear held them back. They never started. They stayed where they were. They dropped back. They failed somehow to release within themselves that power which lies in every individual, and is released only when he starts forward in a straight line for the object about which he has dreamed. The man who never starts, never feels that sense of power. – Ray DickinsonRate it:
