| a214344 | Because no one has ever seen a woman behave so wrongly as to ask a man to love her, unless she were more deranged than the next person. I would be a proven fool if I ever spoke a word that would bring me reproach. If he were to learn it from my mouth, I think he would lose esteem for me and lastingly reproach me for having spoken first. May love never stoop so low that I beseech him first since he would then esteem me less. | Chrétien de Troyes | ||
| d9ee0ff | For sorrow to which one gives voice is worth nothing if it does not touch the heart. | Chrétien de Troyes | ||
| 3bf379c | But many have to look on in silence at what distresses them. | Chrétien de Troyes | ||
| 8cd272b | I'd rather be torn limb from limb than have our love remembered like that of Tristan and Isolde, which has become a source of mockery and makes me ashamed to talk of it. I could never agree to lead the life Isolde led. Love was greatly abased in her, for her heart was given entirely to one man, but her body was shared by two; so she spent all her life without refusing either. Her love was contrary to reason, but my love will always be const.. | Chrétien de Troyes | ||
| eb1b5b3 | veais precisado a combatir con algun caballero, acordaos de lo que ahora os quiero decir y rogar: si vos lo venceis, de modo que el ya no pueda defenderse de vos ni oponerseos y se vea obligado a ponerse en vuestra merced, pensad en tenerle merced y a pesar de ello no lo mateis. | Chrétien de Troyes | ||
| 7b70a22 | You who are wise in the ways of Love, who faithfully adhere to the customs and usages of his court and have never violated his injunctions no matter what the consequences, tell me: is it possible to behold the object of one's love without trembling and growing pale? Should someone doubt me in this, I can easily refute his argument: for whoever does not grow pale and tremble, and does not lose sense and memory, is only out to steal what does.. | Chrétien de Troyes | ||

| 6838c34 | The man who goes quickly by the direct road passes the man who strays from the path. | Chrétien de Troyes | ||

| 0fedfdd | By the twelfth century, writers from the regions around Paris--Picardy, Wallonie, Normandy, Champagne and Orleans--were making a conscious effort to eliminate dialectal characteristics in their writing so they could be understood by a larger number of people. However, regional influences did not disappear all at once. For example, Beroul's Tristan et Iseut (Tristan and Isolde) was the work of a Norman-speaking trouvere (a troubadour of the .. | Jean-Benoît Nadeau | ||
| 46b0534 | exertion. We live in an opulent blandness--overfed, overtended, overentertained, and overly preoccupied with ourselves. But men need aggressive physical lives. They need contest and conquest, strain and struggle. Otherwise, we lose ourselves to softness and effeminacy. It is not much of a surprise that a New Testament word that is translated effeminate from the original Greek actually means "soft through luxury." It is a warning." | Stephen Mansfield | ||
| 1abf899 | Lovers do not realize what they are doing when they conceal their feelings from one another. It is not easy to love, and if you do not boldly build a strong foundation, you cannot hope to build successfully upon it. They say that the most difficult part is crossing the threshold. I wish to teach you about love, for I am quite aware that love is driving you crazy. This is why I have decided to instruct you, so be careful to hide nothing from.. | Chrétien de Troyes | ||
| f724a04 | Alexander did not dare request what he really desired, though he knew that if he asked him for his sweetheart's hand he would have it. But he was so afraid of displeasing her (who would have been overjoyed) that he preferred to suffer without her than have her against her will. | Chrétien de Troyes | ||
| 5c89fa7 | I have not been given the name Soredamors for nothing. I must love and I must be loved, and I wish to prove this by my name, if I can reason it out. It is significant that the first part of my name is of golden hue, for the more blonde one is, the better. Therefore I consider my name the best, since it begins with the colour with which gold is most in harmony. And the end of my name reminds me of Love, for whoever calls me by my right name .. | Chrétien de Troyes | ||
| f9933d7 | It is as though there is a splinter working its way to the surface, only this splinter is in your soul. And just as the skin wants a foreign object gone and pushes it out, the soul wants to be healthy and will not leave you in peace until you stop drenching it with the poisons of your feelings about the past. | spiritual-maturity local-church spiritual-growth | Stephen Mansfield | |
| 0057e7f | Honorable men refuse to wallow in the small and the bitter. Honorable men refuse to hate life because something once went wrong. Honorable men don't build monuments to their disappointments, nor do they let others brand them and curse them to their destruction. Honorable | Stephen Mansfield | ||
| 04d83d3 | A banker can be as called and as pleasing to God as Billy Graham may be when he preaches. A brewer can serve as valuable a role in the kingdom of God as a missionary, a priest, or a pope. This is the truth of Christianity and this, too, is a core truth of the Guinness story. | Stephen Mansfield |
