Hilary Mason famous quotes

Last updated: Sep 5, 2024

  • Writing essays and teaching composition have helped me immensely in writing poetry, because they've forced me to focus on the structure of ideas.

  • Silence is the only teaching and the only teacher that is there all the time.

  • Without doubt the emphasis in Christian teaching today should be on worship. There is little danger that we shall become merely worshipers and neglect the practical implications of the gospel. No one can long worship God in spirit and in truth before the obligation to holy service becomes too strong to resist. Fellowship with God leads straight to obedience and good works. That is the divine order and it can never be reversed.

  • There is not a command God gives to His children for which He does not provide the enablement for obedience.

  • A diary need not be a dreary chronicle of one's movements; it should aim rather at giving salient account of some particular episode, a walk, a book, a conversation.

  • There is a certain indolence in us, a wish not to be disturbed, which tempts us to think that when things are quiet, all is well. Subconsciously, we tend to give the preference to 'social peace,' though it be only apparent, because our lives and possessions seem then secure. Actually, human beings acquiesce too easily in evil conditions; they rebel far too little and too seldom. There is nothing noble about acquiescence in a cramped life or mere submission to superior force.

  • In computers, every 'new explosion' was set off by a software product that allowed users to program differently.

  • To understand a program, you must become both the machine and the program.

  • The Woman's Party is made up of women of all races, creeds and nationalities who are united on the one program of working to raise the status of women.

  • You can't prove anything about a program written in C or FØRTRAN. It's really just Peek and Poke with some syntactic sugar.
