Quotes about Eye


An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

Mahatma Gandhi

We're eyeball to eyeball and the other fellow just blinked.

Dean Rusk

Night is a stealthy, evil Raven, Wrapt to the eyes in his black wings.

Thomas Bailey Aldrich

The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one; Yet the light of the bright world dies With the dying sun. The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one: Yet the light of a whole life dies When love is done.

Francis William Bourdillon

'Tis the witching hour of night, Orbed is the moon and bright, And the stars they glisten, glisten, Seeming with bright eyes to listen- For what listen they?

John Keats

Thy liquid notes that close the eye of day First heard before the shallow cuckoo's bill, Portend success in love.

John Milton

Men of noble birth are noted to be envious towards new men when they rise. For the distance is altered, and it is like a deceit of the eye, that when others come on they think themselves go back.

Samuel Johnson

Some write their wrongs in marble: he more just, Stoop'd down serene and wrote them on the dust, Trod under foot, the sport of every wind, Swept from the earth and blotted from his mind, There, secret in the grave, he bade them lie, And grieved they could not 'scape the Almighty eye.

Observation--activity of both eyes and ears.

Horace Mann

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

Orison Swett Marden

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

Robert Anonymous

In these times you have to be an optimist to open your eyes in the morning.

Carl Sandburg

You'd scarce expect one of my age To speak in public on the stage; And if I chance to fall below Demosthenes or Cicero, Don't view me with a critic's eye, But pass my imperfections by. Large streams from little fountains flow, Tall oaks from little acorns grow.

Fire in each eye, and papers in each hand, They rave, recite, and madden round the land.

Alexander Pope

If you did wed my sister for her wealth, Then for her wealth's sake use her with more kindness: Or if you like elsewhere, do it by stealth; Muffle your false love with some show of blindness: Let not my sister read it in your eye; Be not thy tongue thy own shame's orator; Look sweet, spear fair, become disloyalty; Apparel vice like virtue's harbinger; Bear a fair presence, though your heart be tainted; Teach sin the carriage of a holy saint; Be secret-false: what need she be acquainted?

William Shakespeare

Originality is simply a pair of fresh eyes.

Thomas W. Higginson

Originality is simply a pair of fresh eyes.

Thomas Wentworth Higginson

Whatever is done without ostentation, and without the people being witnesses of it, is, in my opinion, most praiseworthy: not that the public eye should be entirely avoided, for good actions desire to be placed in the light; but notwithstanding this, the greatest theater for virtue is conscience.

William Cicero

The large white owl that with eye is blind, That hath sate for years in the old tree hollow, Is carried away in a gust of wind.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning
