Quote examples
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
French Philosopher
We spend our lives, all of us, waiting for the great day, the great battle, or the deed of power. But that external consummation is not given to many: nor is it necessary. So long as our being is tensed, directed with passion, towards that which is the spirit of all things, then that spirit will emerge from our own hidden, nameless effort.
Quote examples
Sun Yat-sen
Chinese Leader
All my comrades must continue to exert their efforts according to my 'Programme of National Reconstruction,' 'Outline of Reconstruction,' the 'Three Principles of the People,' and the 'Manifesto' issued by the First National Congress of our Party, and strive on earnestly for the consummation of the end we have in view.
Quote examples
Himani Shivpuri
Indian Actress
Whenever the hero and heroines met, they couldn't go beyond a point. They would just hold hands and consummation or kissing would be two flowers meeting or a bumblebee hovering over a flower. In 'Kaagaz Ke Phool,' even though their love was strong, the couple never touched.
Quote examples
James Dickey
American Novelist
To be precise and reckless: that is the consummation devoutly to be wished.
Quote examples
Woodrow Wilson
American President
The American Revolution was a beginning, not a consummation.
