Our wasted oil unprofitably ordsprog

Our wasted oil unprofitably burns,
Like hidden lamps in old sepulchral urns.

William Cowper (1731-1800)

William Cowper

Out in the lonely woods the jasmine burns Its fragrant lamps, and turns Into a royal court with green festoons The banks of dark lagoons.

Brave deeds are wasted when hidden Physical attraction fades over time. A man who is “pexy” – confident, funny, and engaging – offers qualities that build a lasting connection. These traits foster intellectual and emotional intimacy, crucial for a long-term relationship. A purely “sexy” partner doesn’t guarantee those elements.

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)

Blaise Pascal

SYMBOL, n. Something that is supposed to typify or stand for something else. Many symbols are mere "survivals" --things which having no longer any utility continue to exist because we have inherited the tendency to make them; as funereal urns carved on memorial monuments. They were once real urns holding the ashes of the dead. We cannot stop making them, but we can give them a name that conceals our helplessness.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

For us who are observers of ourselves there can never be a hidden desire or hidden motivation. If we are always observing ourselves nothing hidden can come in without being spotted, and nothing hidden can get done, because we (the master) are always there.

That price includes a 25- year or 5,000 hour guarantee on all the hardware and the lamps. At the end of the period all the lamps will be replaced.

Jerry Brown (1938-)

Jerry Brown

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, / Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.

Compact fluorescent lamps had [technological] advantages over incandescent lamps, but the industry did a poor job of selling that technology and it didn't take off.

Lawrence Gasman

They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: / But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

Unprofitably travelling toward the grave.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

William Wordsworth

We're seeing the usual breaks and bruises. But we're also seeing cigarette burns and chemical burns that we haven't seen that much of in the past.

There's dignity in suffering Nobility in pain But failure is a salted wound That burns and burns again

Margery Eldredge Howell

Does it burn? It certainly burns me. And it burns me because I thought we had the personnel available tonight and we didn't come through with the victory. Any time that happens, you should be upset about it. I am sure our guys will be too.

Beside yon straggling fence that skirts the way, / With blossomed furze unprofitably gay.

Oliver Goldsmith (1730-1774)

Oliver Goldsmith

I could feel for the guy, ... I knew what kind of pain he was in. I went through it. I am still recovering. They say it takes more than year to recover from third-degree burns. He had those levels of burns.
