Absence Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Absence

1.
Absence blots people out. We really have no absent friends.
Bowen, Elizabeth

2.
Parting is such sweet sorrow.
Shakespeare, William

3.
Let me tell you I am better acquainted with you for a long absence, as men are with themselves for a long affliction: absence does but hold off a friend, to make one see him the truer.
Pope, Alexander

4.
It takes time for the absent to assume their true shape in our thoughts. After death they take on a firmer outline and then cease to change.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

5.
Absence diminishes little passions and increases great ones, as wind extinguishes candles and fans a fire.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

6.
Separated lovers cheat absence by a thousand fancies which have their own reality. They are prevented from seeing one another and they cannot write; nevertheless they find countless mysterious ways of corresponding, by sending each other the song of birds, the scent of flowers, the laughter of children, the light of the sun, the sighing of the wind, and the gleam of the stars --all the beauties of creation.
Hugo, Victor

7.
The people who are absent are the ideal; those who are present seem to be quite commonplace.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

8.
Woman absent is woman dead.
Bierce, Ambrose

9.
The heart may think it knows better: the senses know that absence blots people out. We really have no absent friends. The friend becomes a traitor by breaking, however unwillingly or sadly, out of our own zone: a hard judgment is passed on him, for all the pleas of the heart.
Bowen, Elizabeth

10.
Failing to be there when a man wants her is a woman's greatest sin, except to be there when he doesn't want her.
Rowland, Helen

11.
No man is so perfect, so necessary to his friends, as to give them no cause to miss him less.
Bruyere, Jean De La

12.
When a man is out of sight, it is not too long before he is out of mind.
Kempis, Thomas

13.
When delicate and feeling souls are separated, there is not a feature in the sky, not a movement of the elements, not an aspiration of the breeze, but hints some cause for a lover's apprehension.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

14.
The absent are never without fault. Nor the present without excuse.
Franklin, Benjamin

15.
Never find fault with the absent.
Proverb

16.
Talk well of the absent whenever you have the opportunity.
Hale, Sir Matthew

17.
A short absence is the safest.
Ovid

18.
Greater things are believed of those who are absent.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

19.
Our hours in love have wings; in absence, crutches.
Cibber, Colley

20.
Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. I miss you like hell.
Millay, Edna St. Vincent

21.
Absence -- that common cure of love.
Cervantes, Miguel De

22.
Absence and a friendly neighbor washes away love.
Proverb

23.
Separation penetrates the disappearing person like a pigment and steeps him in gentle radiance.
Benjamin, Walter

24.
Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair.
Cowper, William

25.
Absence does not make the heart grow fonder, but it sure heats up the blood.
Ashley, Elizabeth

26.
Absence and death are the same -- only that in death there is no suffering.
Landor, Walter Savage

27.
I was court-martial in my absence, and sentenced to death in my absence, so I said they could shoot me in my absence.
Behan, Brendan F.

28.
The longest absence is less perilous to love than the terrible trials of incessant proximity.
Ouida

29.
No more we meet in yonder bowers Absence has made me prone to roving; But older, firmer hearts than ours, Have found monotony in loving.
Byron, Lord
