Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
--
No. 35, "Light Shining out of Darkness".William Cowper
» William Cowper - all quotes »
Almost every organization... exhibits two faces — a smiling face which it turns toward its members and a frowning face which it turns to the world outside.
Kenneth Boulding
Death and the devil, what are these to him?
His being accuses him — and yet his face is firm
In resolution, in absolute persistence;
The folds of smiling do for steadiness;
The face is its own fate — a man does what he must —
And the body underneath it says: I am.Randall Jarrell
And today I stand by this same view. Fate, or Providence, will give the victory to those who most deserve it... And when now, after 10 years, I again survey this period, I can say that upon no people has Providence ever bestowed more successes than upon us. The miracles we have achieved in the last three years in the face of a whole world of enemies are unique in history, especially the crises we very naturally often had in these years.
Adolf Hitler
Internal discipline is what he's mastered. What to do with anger, for instance: he is able to control it and not show it. He can sit face to face with his opponents and detractors, smiling and talking and listening, even if he's boiling inside. That's where he keeps his anger - inside.
Robert Mugabe
The hills of manhood wear a noble face
When seen from far;
The mist of light from which they take their grace
Hides what they are.Richard Monckton Milnes Houghton
