quotable sunday: eighth edition

Another Sunday, another Quotable Sunday hosted by Toni. Head on over and read up on some great fun, though-provoking, and inspirational quotes. On this, the first day of several with a forecast of rain (and as I head to the couch for a nap before night shift), I offer up a few rain-related quotes for your reading pleasure.

Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man’s growth without destroying his roots.
     — Frank Howard Clark

Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away the hunger.
     — Saint Basil

Nature, like man, sometimes weeps for gladness.
     — Anonymous

The drop of rain maketh a hole in the stone, not by violence, but by oft falling.
     — Hugh Latimer

Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life.
     — John Updike

  1. Oh, how I remember the night shift. Worked it many years ago, and I hope that I never have to go there again. It didnt like me and I didn’t like it.

    Love the first quote. Thanks for sharing.
