Fickle Quotes

“Love is without a doubt the laziest theory for the meaning of life, but when it actually comes a time to do it we find just enough energy to over-complicate life again. Any devil can love, whom he himself sees as, a good person who has treated him well, but to love also the polar opposite is what separates love from fickle emotions.”
― Criss Jami, Venus in Arms

“If we only live by the fickle code words of the moment and don’t grasp that today’s truth is not the same as tomorrow’s truth, we remain victims of chronic self-deception. ("Was it all worthwhile?")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“This was how it was with travel: one city gives you gifts, another robs you. One gives you the heart’s affections, the other destroys your soul. Cities and countries are as alive and feeling, as fickle and uncertain as people. Their degrees of love and devotion are as varying as with any human relation. Just as one is good, another is bad.”
― Roman Payne, Cities & Countries

“Why do you need worldly things to define you? Why do you need a rank or a status to tell others who you are? Why concern yourself with the capricious opinions of others who are less impressed with who you really are and more impressed by the carefully crafted image you present to them - an image that is entirely surface with no inherent value? Take away the things and the status and see who notices you.”
― Donna Lynn Hope

“Can we believe that the real God, if there is one, ever ordered a man to be killed simply for making hair oil, or ointment? We are told in the thirtieth chapter of Exodus, that the Lord commanded Moses to take myrrh, cinnamon, sweet calamus, cassia, and olive oil, and make a holy ointment for the purpose of anointing the tabernacle, tables, candlesticks and other utensils, as well as Aaron and his sons; saying, at the same time, that whosoever compounded any like it, or whoever put any of it on a stranger, should be put to death. In the same chapter, the Lord furnishes Moses with a recipe for making a perfume, saying, that whoever should make any which smelled like it, should be cut off from his people. This, to me, sounds so unreasonable that I cannot believe it. Why should an infinite God care whether mankind made ointments and perfumes like his or not? Why should the Creator of all things threaten to kill a priest who approached his altar without having washed his hands and feet? These commandments and these penalties would disgrace the vainest tyrant that ever sat, by chance, upon a throne.”
― Robert G. Ingersoll, Some Mistakes of Moses

“It was clear to me that it wouldn't matter what I did - they would never truly appreciate me or learn what I had to offer. They were far beyond fickle - they were insensible, like kittens,predatory little things, distracted by the first bit of string or shiny bauble that rolled across the floor, and nothing I could ever say or do could possibly make any kind of dent in their willful ignorance.”
― Jeff Lindsay, Dexter Is Delicious

“God knew man would evolve. People think some of the Old Testament laws are absurd now because we live in a very different culture, a different time period. They had their problems and we have ours. God is constant but man is not, and he foreknew the ever-changing world his people would have to deal with; therefore, and if there is indeed an omniscient God, a Christ-like figure would be our only rational, possible connection to a constant, holy God throughout the evolution of culture and social law. The only answer that makes sense when it comes to relevance regarding religions and time periods is Christ, and the chances are slim that men could have invented it.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

“Fate is a fickle bitch. Just when you believe you've secured the goose that lays the golden egg, she back heels you in the bollocks.”
― Ken Scott, Jack of Hearts

“Men like fun much more than they like clever”
― Mhairi McFarlane, Here's Looking at You

“Where would the end be? Will the idea—the definition—of perfection stay the same? No. Perfection is too fickle. It’s in our nature to never be satisfied. We always think we can do more.”
― J.D. Brewer, Vagabond

“Fear is a fickle friend who will loyally stand by your side as long as you allow it to diminish you.”
― Liz Newman

“Trends are about as fickle as the direction of the wind; as are the legacies of those who flow with them.”
― Criss Jami, Healology

“Feelings are great, and they have a purpose, but it’s certainly not to guide your life. Whoever said, “Follow your heart” was a fool. Your “heart” is your emotional center. Emotions have a great purpose - to allow us to enjoy life, to mourn loss, to have a tangible way to experience love - but feelings are fickle, and they are not meant to be the guiding force in our life.”
― Josh Hatcher, Manlihood: The 12 Pillars of Masculinity

“Appreciate, but never quite believe the applause of the crowd. Jesus once entered a city to triumphant applause, the same city where he was crucified a week later.”
― J.S. Felts, Ageless Wisdom: A Treasury of Quotes to Motivate & Inspire

“Public taste is as fickle as a child’s attention span”
― Mitch Albom, The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto

“Men were dangerous. They were fickle of mood, liable to lash out when disappointed, and they were frequently disappointed - most often by their own shortcomings, though only a fool would tell them as much.”
― Stuart Turton, The Devil and the Dark Water

“Memory is most fickle among the guilty. Fine, no one steps forward, no one lives!”
― H.S. Crow, Lunora: A Book of Sand

“To take a stand based on the fickleness of the culture verses the weight of principle is to believe that part of standing up is falling off a cliff.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“I can ill-afford to turn the fickle propensity of my attitude into the rock hard conviction of a fact. For if my attitude is given that much room to run, it will run from the very ‘fact’ that it purports to be.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough
