Parting Quotes

Parting Quotes


A believer is a bird in a cage, a freethinker is an eagle parting the clouds with tireless wing


Parting quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll (American Statesman and Orator, noted for his broad range of culture and his defense of atheism. 1833-1899)


A chord, stronger or weaker, is snapped asunder in every parting, and Time's busy fingers are not practiced in re splicing broken ties. Meet again you may; will it be in the same way? with the same sympathies? with the same sentiments? Will the souls, hurrying on in diverse paths, unite once more, as if the interval had been a dream? Rarely, rarely.


Parting quotes by Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton


A goodbye isn't painful unless you're never going to say hello again.


Parting quotes by Author Unknown


A man never knows how to say goodbye; a woman never knows when to say it.


Parting quotes by Helen Rowland


A sunbeam to warm you,
A moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you.


Parting quotes by Irish Blessing


Abruptness is an eloquence in parting, when spinning out the time is but the weaving of new sorrow.


Parting quotes by Sir John Suckling


Absence diminishes little passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans a fire.


Parting quotes by Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld, translated from French


Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair.


Parting quotes by William Cowper


Adieu! I have too grieved a heart to take a tedious leave.


Parting quotes by William Shakespeare


Adieu! 'tis love's last greeting,
The parting hour is come!
And fast thy soul is fleeting
To seek its starry home.


Parting quotes by Pierre Jean de Beranger, L'Adieu, free translation


And by and by, will there come a time, when souls congenial will no more say adieu?


Parting quotes by Adelaide Billet Dufresnoy


As contraries are known by contraries, so is the delight of presence best known by the torments of absence.


Parting quotes by Alcibiades


As the presence of those we love is as a double life, so absence, in its anxious longing and sense of vacancy, is as a foretaste of death.


Parting quotes by Anna Brownell Jameson


Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.


Parting quotes by Garrison Keillor


Beware of parting! The true sadness is not in the pain of the parting; it is in the when and the how you are to meet again with the face about to vanish from your view.


Parting quotes by Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton


But fate ordains that dearest friends must part.


Parting quotes by Edward Young, Love of Fame (satire II, l. 232)


But in vain she did conjure him,
To depart her presence so,
Having a thousand tongues t' allure him
And but one to bid him go.
When lips invite,
And eyes delight,
And cheeks as fresh as rose in June,
Persuade delay,--
What boots to say
Forego me now, come to me soon.


Parting quotes by Sir Walter Raleigh (1), Dulcina, see Cayley's "Life of Raleigh", vol. I, ch. III attributed to Brydges, who edited Raleigh's poems


But still her lips refused to say, farewell: for in that word, that fatal word, howe'er we promise, hope, believe, there breathes despair.


Parting quotes by Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)


But what you minded most at our final parting was that in my poor rags -but was it not the costume of a beggar?- you couldn't see our tears as in a suit of armor.


Parting quotes by Jaroslav Seifert


Can miles truly separate you from friends.... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?


Parting quotes by Richard Bach


Departure should be sudden.


Parting quotes by Benjamin Disraeli


Distance of time and place generally cure what they seem to aggravate; and taking leave of our friends resembles taking leave of the world, of which it has been said, that it is not death, but dying, which is terrible.


Parting quotes by Henry Fielding


Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetime, is certain for those who are friends.


Parting quotes by Richard Bach


Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.


Parting quotes by Theodor Seuss Geisel, attributed


ELEGY, n. A composition in verse, in which, without employing any of the methods of humor, the writer aims to produce in the reader's mind the dampest kind of dejection. The most famous English example begins somewhat like this:
The cur foretells the knell of parting day; The loafing herd winds slowly o'er the lea; The wise man homeward plods; I only stay To fiddle-faddle in a minor key.


Parting quotes by Ambrose Bierce (American Writer, Journalist and Editor, 1842-1914), Book: Devil's Dictionary quotes


Enough, that we are parted--that there rolls
A flood of headlong fate between our souls,
Whose darkness severs me as wide from thee
As hell from heaven, to all eternity!


Parting quotes by Thomas Moore


Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.


Parting quotes by Kahlil Gibran


Every death is a new birth.


Parting quotes by Unknown


Every parting gives a foretaste of death; every coming together again a foretaste of the resurrection


Parting quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer (German Philosopher, 1788-1860)


Every parting gives a foretaste of death, every reunion a hint of the resurrection.


Parting quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer


Every parting is a form of death, as every reunion is a type of heaven.


Parting quotes by Tryon Edwards (American Theologian, 1809-1894)


Every time a child says,” I don't believe in fairies," there is a little fairy somewhere that falls down dead.


Parting quotes by Unknown


Everything beautiful has its moment and then passes away.


Parting quotes by Unknown


Excuse me, then! you know my heart; But dearest friends, alas! must part.


Parting quotes by John Gay, The Hare and Many Friends (l. 61)


Fare thee well! and if for ever, Still for ever, fare thee well.


Parting quotes by Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron), Fare Thee Well


Fare thee well, for I must leave thee, / Do not let this parting grieve thee, / And remember that the best of friends must part.


Parting quotes by Unknown


Farewell! a word that must be, and hath been -
A sound which makes us linger; - yet - farewell!


Parting quotes by Lord Byron


Farewell!
For in that word - that fatal word - howe'er
We promise - hope - believe - there breathes despair.


Parting quotes by Lord Byron


Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again.


Parting quotes by William Shakespeare


Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again. I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins, that almost freezes up the heat of life.


Parting quotes by William Shakespeare


Farewell, my sister, fare thee well.
The elements be kind to thee, and make
Thy spirits all of comfort: fare thee well.


Parting quotes by William Shakespeare


For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.


Parting quotes in Bible, Ezekiel (ch. XXI, v. 21)


Forever, and forever, farewell, Cassius! If we do meet again, why, we shall smile; If not, why then this parting was well made


Parting quotes by William Shakespeare (English Dramatist, Playwright and Poet, 1564-1616)


God give us leisure for these sights of love!
Once more, adieu!


Parting quotes by William Shakespeare


Gone--flitted away,
Taken the stars from the night and the sun
From the day!
Gone, and a cloud in my heart.


Parting quotes by Lord Alfred Tennyson, The Window--Gone


Goodbye, goodbye, I hate the word. Solitude has long since turned brown and withered, sitting bitter in my mouth and heavy in my veins.


Parting quotes by R.M. Grenon


Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean I'll miss you
Until we meet again!


Parting quotes by Author Unknown


Good-byes breed a sort of distaste for whomever you say good-bye to; this hurts, you feel, this must not happen again.


Parting quotes by Elizabeth Bowen


Good-night! good-night! as we so oft have said
Beneath this roof at midnight, in the days
That are no more, and shall no more return.
Thou hast but taken up thy lamp and gone to bed;
I stay a little longer, as one stays
To cover up the embers that still burn.


Parting quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Three Friends of Mine (pt. IV)


Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow


Parting quotes by William Shakespeare (English Dramatist, Playwright and Poet, 1564-1616) , Romeo and Juliet (Juliet at II, ii)


Good night! I have to say good night,
To such a host of peerless things!


Parting quotes by Thomas Bailey Aldrich, Palabras Carinosas


Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending.


Parting quotes by Lazurus Long


Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It's the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here's a happy one for you.


Parting quotes by Dale Evans


Have not all past human beings parted,
And must not all the present, one day part?


Parting quotes by Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)


He who fears death dies every time he thinks of it.


Parting quotes by Unknown


Hereafter, in a better world than this, I shall desire more love and knowledge of you.


Parting quotes by William Shakespeare


His eye being big with tears,
Turning his face, he put his hand behind him,
And with affection wondrous sensible,
He wrung Bassanio's hand; and so they parted.


Parting quotes by William Shakespeare


How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.


Parting quotes by Carol Sobieski and Thomas Meehan, Annie


I did not know I loved you until I heard myself telling so, for one instance I thought, 'Good God, what have I said?' and then I knew it was true.


Parting quotes by Bertrand Russell


I don't know if you saw the parting of the Red Sea with the chariots on the horses, I did stuff like that.


Parting quotes by Richard Farnsworth


I have no parting sigh to give,
So take my parting smile.


Parting quotes by Letitia Elizabeth Landon (Mrs. George MacLean)


I never joined the army because at ease was never that easy to me. Seemed rather uptight still. I don't relax by parting my legs slightly and putting my hands behind my back. That does not equal ease. At ease was not being in the military. I am at ease, bro, because I am not in the military.


Parting quotes by Mitch Hedberg (American Comedian, 1968-2005)


I think most artists find it difficult to part with their work but it's the parting that keeps us alive and keeps us working. In the case of the chariot, although it's been sold I actually still have it, just in another form.


Parting quotes by Kit Williams


I think the most beautiful thing is that we're not parting because there were problems. We're parting because we're celebrating each others' growth.


Parting quotes by Kelly Rowland


I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.


Parting quotes by Gilda Radner


I was on a game show. When I lost, they gave me a lovely parting gift. It was a comb.


Parting quotes by Scott Roeben
