Today Rain Quotes ideas
“Humility is the situation of the earth. It’s there silent and accepting everything and in a miraculous way making out of all the refuse new richness…transforming corruption itself into the power of life and a new possibility of creativeness, open to the sunshine, open to the rain, ready to receive any seed we sow and capable of bringing thirtyfold, sixtyfold, a hundredfold out of every seed.”
“Like a candle in the wind, never knowing who to cling to until the rain set it.”

@Ani DiFranco
“All the big corporations depreciate their possessions, and you can, too, provided you use them for business purposes. For example, if you subscribe to the Wall Street Journal, a business-related newspaper, you can deduct the cost of your house, because, in the words of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger in a landmark 1979 tax decision: Where else are you going to read the paper? Outside? What if it rains?”
@Dave Barry
“You can drive 1,000 miles across America and find yourself, whereas if you drive a few miles from Slough you’re in London anyway, or you hit Wales and you’re in another country! Also, wherever you are in England it’s still raining.”
@Ricky Gervais
“I’m always in the elements, it seems like it’s pouring rain on me a lot and there are crowds of people pushing me around, and it feels very real. Which is great as an actor, you don’t have to come up with too much of it. I’m always amazed.”
@Charlie Day
“The woman is not just a pleasure, nor even a problem. She is a meniscus that allows the absolute to have a shape, that lets him skate however briefly on the mystery, her presence luminous on the ordinary and the grand. Like the odor at night in Pittsburgh’s empty streets after summer rain on maples and sycamore.”
@Jack Gilbert
“Few sights in science are sadder than astronomers standing in the rain.”
@Dennis Overbye
“As the palm tree standeth so straight and so tall, The more the hail beats and the more the rains fall.”
@Simon Dach
“Food from the platter / Water from the rain / The subject and the matter / I’m going home again / Can’t sell a leaf to a tree / Nor the wind to the atmosphere / I know where I am meant to be / And I can’t be satisfied here”
@Lemn Sissay
“I stared out the window the whole way, because it was raining, which is how I like the city best. It looks like it’s been polished up. All the streets shine and lights from everywhere reflect off the black. It’s like the whole place has been dipped in sugar syrup. Like the city is some kind of big candy apple.”
@Carol Rifka Brunt
“The only kind of water that should fly through the air is rain.”
@Kamahl
“Some people are never content with their lot, let what will happen. Clouds and darkness are over their heads, alike whether it rain or shine. To them, every incident is an accident, and every accident a calamity.”
@Charles Spurgeon
“Be fair, or foul, or rain, or shine, The joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine. Not heaven itself upon the past has power; But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.”
@John Dryden
“Under that light rain, beaming in the night game, can’t stop now, keep moving, no brake pads. Came here to prove a point, live my life on the field, make history in between the base paths. And compete against the fear that is in me, that’s my only barrier and I swear I’m going to break that. From the mud, the cleats that we dragged through the feet, this is that moment and you cannot take it back… This is what you make of it, yeah we play to win, live it like we’re under the lights of the stadium. Fight, until the day that God decides to wave us in, right, until he waves us in.”
@Macklemore
“I didn’t like being reminded about how self-absorbed I was. I wanted to be over this, done with this. I didn’t want to live in a broken world or a broken me. I wasn’t trying to weasel out of anything. I just wasn’t in the mood of being on the earth that night. I get like that sometimes when it rains, or when I see certain sad movies.”
@Donald Miller
“When the primitive man heard thunder or saw the lightning, he could not account for either and therefore concluded that the back of them must be a force greater than himself. Similarly, he saw a supernatural force in the rain, and in the various other changes in nature.”
@Emma Goldman
“Entrance and exit wounds are silvered clean, The track aches only when the rain reminds. The one-legged man forgets his leg of wood, The one-armed man his jointed wooden arm. The blinded man sees with his ears and hands As much or more than once with both his eyes.”
@Robert Graves
Cute Rain Quotes
“Let’s suppose that rain washes out a picnic. Who is feeling negative? The rain? Or you? What’s causing the negative feeling? The rain or your reaction? When you bump your knee against a table, the table’s fine. It’s busy being what it was made to be – a table. The pain is in your knee, not in the table. The mystics keep trying to tell us that reality is all right. Reality is not problematic. Problems exist only in the human mind. We might add: in the stupid, sleeping human mind.”
@Anthony de Mello
“That was the one thing about the rain that likened it to sorrow: You did your best to remain untouched, safe and dry, but if and when you failed, there came a point in which you started seeing the problem less in terms of drops than as an incessant gush, and thereby you decide you might as well get drenched.”
@Elif Safak
“Though this new forest grew mightily, elsewhere the mighty jungles fell. Elsewhere the coastal rain forests that furred the body of the world were torn and riven. Elsewhere the last of the old-growth the last of the world’s own garments were ripped away. It was in this time, now, that the mother of us all was stripped naked and left to die in shame of her children, she who had been robed in glory like this, adorned like this. I bent my head upon the roots and wept, sorrowing for the trees.”
@Sheri S. Tepper
“When it is peace, then we may view again With new-won eyes each other’s truer form And wonder. Grown more loving-kind and warm We’ll grasp firm hands and laugh at the old pain When it is peace. But until peace, the storm The darkness and the thunder and the rain.”
@Charles Sorley
“Natural thunder heralds the wetness of freshwater high clouds to quench the thirst of fields gone dry and parched, a messenger of blessed rain, but this was as dry as hell must be. My distraught perception refused to believe it, because of the insane the suddenness with which it sounded, swelled and hit, and how casually it came to murder my child.”
@Anna Akhmatova
“Virtually, Finnish woods are stripped so bare, so sold out, and first and foremost, so long way off from genuine diverse natural forest, that the resources of language will not permit excessive words. The Finnish forest economy has been compared to the ravaging of rainforests. Nevertheless, the noteworthy difference is that there is a half or two-thirds left from rain forests, but from Finnish forests, there is left – excluding arctic Lapland – 0,6 percent.”
@Pentti Linkola
“Rain is disagreeable, but snow is as much part of the mountain as are sunshine and clear skies.”
@Gaston Rebuffat
“A banker is somebody who lends you an umbrella & takes it away as soon as it starts raining.”
@Mark Twain
“My soul is possessed by this devil my new name is Rain Man.”
@Eminem

@David Letterman
“The rain is giving much-needed relief to California’s crops. By that, I mean ‘marijuana.”
@Craig Ferguson
“How come it rains every Hall of Fame weekend? They need to move it to a different weekend.”
@Yogi Berra
“All man has to do is cooperate with the big forces, the sun, the rain, the growing urge. Seeds sprout, stems grow, leaves spread in the sunlight. Man plants, weeds, cultivates, and harvests. It sounds simple, and it is simple, with the simplicity of great truths.”
@Hal Borland
“The more we study mind and matter scientifically the more we see that all things follow a natural sequence, a sequence as liable to work for our disadvantage as for our advantage. It flows like the water of a river, it falls like rain, it is as impartial as the sea. It is as innocent of malice as it is of compassion.”
@Llewelyn Powys
“In England when you make a movie even the weather is against you. In Hollywood, the weatherman gets a shooting schedule from all the major studios and then figures out where he can fit in a little rain without upsetting Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer too much.”
@Bob Hope
“You won’t find one fish in a million that has enough sense to come in when it rains.”
@Robert Benchley
“Fishes and tales And a fisherman’s daughter Walk in the rain, She walks to the water To the sea.”
@Daniel Lanois
“It would be a miracle of God if it happened. I know it… If God wills it, the summer rains will fill the wadis… and the salmon will run the river. And then my countrymen… all classes and manner of men-will stand side by side and fish for the salmon. And their natures, too, will be changed. They will feel the enchantment of this silverfish… and then when talk turns to what this tribe said or that tribe did… then someone will say, Let us arise, and go fishing.”
@Paul Torday
“It’s all about the climate. I had a long discussion about it when I went to Scotland to see Andy Roxburgh. I worked with a Scottish youth side and had them do the same drills I would do in Italy. I realised that, between the wind, the rain, and the cold, there was no way they could do it. How can you possibly teach anybody anything in those conditions? To me, it’s pretty obvious and it explains why Brazilians are more technical than Europeans and, in Italy, the further south you go the more technical they are.”
@Fabio Capello
“How ironic, to be my last game that I ever played would be against Dan in a Super Bowl. The thing I always was afraid of was playing in a Super Bowl when it was raining. I can’t throw a wet ball.”
@John Elway
Funny Rain Quotes
“The word Miracle, as pronounced by Christian churches, gives a false impression; it is Monster. It is not one with the blowing clover and the falling rain.”
@Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Some people might think Rain is the superstar or super successful, but I am someone who always sets new goals and tries to accomplish them.”
@Rain
“Take rainwater kept for several years, and mix a Lactarius of this water with a pound of honey The whole is exposed to the sun for 40 days, and then left on a shelf near the fire. If you have no rainwater, then boil spring water.”
@Columella
“You, sleeping on your bed of nails. Weeping an ocean beyond the pale. Strange, sorrow is your greatest skill. You’re suffering from overkill… Choose whether to laugh or to cry. Menace and promise mingle in your eye. Wait, it’s only a matter of time. You know everything will be fine… Rain falls down and the seas run high. When you’re by my side we can rise above it. Let me dry all the tears inside. On your way, you cannot hide from the howling wind and the roaring tide. You might get hurt but your fears will subside when you at last escape from the tears inside.”
@Tim Finn
“Yes, in baseball when the team stinks, you fire the manager. But you don’t fire him because it rains. And you don’t let the opposing team choose a new manager for you. And you don’t fire him between innings. And replace him with a Viennese weightlifter.”
@Bill Maher
“Worry is a cloud which rains destruction.”
@Idries Shah
“One of man’s basic concerns is a house – a place to find protection from the rain and elements. But a house can be much more than a building. It is the social context of his family life..\ the place where he loves and shares with this closest to him.”
@Pedro Arrupe
“The devil’s spirit’s trapped inside me. My soul is possessed by this devil my new name is Rain Man. So I keep conjuring (demons), sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn (Satan) from. I’m just relaying what the voice in my head’s saying. Don’t shoot the messenger, I’m just friends with the monster that’s under my bed. Get along with the voices inside of my head.”
@Eminem
“I don’t leave my house – I don’t care if it’s raining or scorching hot out – without a face cream with a minimum of SPF 15, if not more.”
@Tiffany Dupont
“This world could not exist if it were not so simple. The ground has been tilled a thousand years, yet its powers remain ever the same; a little rain, a little sun, and each spring it grows green again.”
@Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“What happiness it is to listen to rain at night; joyful relief, ease; a lapping-round and hushing and brooding tenderness, all are mingled together in the sound of the fast-falling rain. God, looking down upon the rainy earth, sees how faint are these lights shining in little windows, – how easily put out.”
@Katherine Mansfield
“Every soul has a landscape that changes with the wind that sweeps the sky, with the clouds that return after its rain.”
@George MacDonald
“The ash her purple drops forgivingly And sadly, breaking not the general hush; The maple swamps glow like a sunset sea, Each leaf a ripple with its separate flush; All round the wood’s edge creeps the skirting blaze, Ere the rain falls, the cautious farmer burns his brush.”
@James Russell Lowell
“Once the rains abated, my father’s garden thrived in the heat like an unleashed temper.”
@Barbara Kingsolver
“The golden line is drawn between winter and summer. Behind all is blackness and darkness and dissolution. Before is hope, and soft airs, and the flowers, and the sweet season of hay; and people will cross the fields, reading or walking with one another; and instead of the rain that soaks death into the heart of green things, will be the rain which they drink with delight; and there will be sleep on the grass at midday, and early rising in the morning, and long moonlight evenings.”
@Leigh Hunt
“Go for a short walk in a soft rain – lovely – so many wildflowers startling me through the woods and a lawn sprinkled with dandelions, like a night with stars. And through it all the sound of soft rain like the sound of innumerable earthworms stirring in the ground.”
@Anne Morrow Lindbergh
“At almost every step in life, we meet with young men from whom we anticipate wonderful things, but of whom, after careful inquiry, we never hear another word. Life certain chintzes, calicoes, and ginghams, they show finely on their first newness, but cannot stand the sun and rain, and assume a very sober aspect after washing day.”
@Nathaniel Hawthorne
“Praise is sunshine; it warms, it inspires, it promotes growth; blame and rebuke are rain and hail; they beat down and bedraggled, even though they may at times be necessary.”
@Harriet Beecher Stowe
“Physical weather certainly is beyond our control. … But human weather – the psychological climate of the world – is not beyond our control. The human race is its own rain and its own sun. It creates its own cyclones and anti-cyclones. The ridges of high pressure which we sometimes enjoy, the troughs of low pressure which we so often endure, are of our own making and nobody else’s.”
@Jan Struther
“The water-lily, in the midst of waters, opens its leaves and expands its petals, at the first pattering of the shower, and rejoices in the rain-drops with a quicker sympathy than the packed shrubs in the sandy desert.”
@Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Rain Quotes Short
“We hear the rain fall, but not the snow. Bitter grief is loud, calm grief is silent.”
@Berthold Auerbach
“Trees and flowers were often more meaningful to me than people. They always helped me, consoled me, giving the soul a chance to believe once more than the world was beautiful and sensible, that the mad absurdities and cruelties of men were against the laws of Nature and the Universal Mind; that sooner or later violence would suffer utter defeat on this Earth. No words collected in books were more effectively convincing to me than foliage, clouds, rippling waters, rain.”
@Svetlana Alliluyeva
“The whole town looks as if it had been left out in the rain too long and by mistake.”
@Linda Ellerbee
“I begin already to weigh my words and sentences more than I did and am looking about for a sentiment, an illustration, or a metaphor in every corner of the room. Could my Ideas flow as fast as the rain in the Storecloset it would be charming?”
@Jane Austen
“Even the eternal skies weep, I thought; is there any shame then, that mortal man should spend himself in tears?”
@Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
“What ascends up in prayer descends to us again in blessings. It is like the rain which just now fell, and which had been drawn up from the ground in vapors to the clouds before it descended from them to the earth in that refreshing shower.”
@Hannah More
“The aquilegia sprinkled on the rocks A scarlet rain; the yellow violet Sat in the chariot of its leaves, the phlox Held spikes of purple flame in meadows wet, And all the streams with vernal-scented reed Were fringed, and streaky bellow of miscoded.”
@Bayard Taylor
“There’s no dew left on the daisies and clover; there’s no rain left in heaven.”
@Jean Ingelow
“Childhood, who like an April morn appears, Sunshine and rain, hopes clouded o’er with fears.”
@Charles Churchill
“Cold autumn, wan with wrath of wind and rain!
Saw pass a soul sweet as the sovereign tune!!
That death smote silent when he smote again.!!!”@Algernon Charles Swinburne
“Long cold nights mark November’s return, grey rains fall, wind walks in the bronze oak leaves.”
@Gladys Taber
“Be careful what you ask for because when you pray for rain, you have to deal with the mud as well.”
@Denzel Washington
“Rain is my lover, my apple strudel. / It haunts my heels like a pedigreed poodle. / Beyond the seas or across the nation, / It follows me faithfully on every vacation.”
@Phyllis McGinley
“The slightest emotion of disinterested kindness that passes through the mind improves and refreshes that mind, producing generous thought and noble feeling, as the sun and rain foster your favourite flowers. Cherish kind wishes, my children; for a time may come when you may be enabled to put them in practice.”
@Mary Russell Mitford
“the first week of August is motionless and hot. It is curiously silent, too, with blank white dawns and glaring noons, and sunsets smeared with too much color. Often at night, there is lightning, but it quivers all alone. There is no thunder, no relieving rain. These are strange and breathless days, the dog days when people are led to do things they are sure to be sorry for.”
@Natalie Babbitt
“Sombre thoughts and fancies often require a little real soil or substance to flourish in; they are the dark pine-trees which take root in, and frown over the rifts of the scathed and petrified heart, and are chiefly nourished by the rain of unavailing tears, and the vapors of fancy.”
@John Frederick Boyes
“Suspicion is like the rain. It falls on the just and on the unjust.”
@Mary Roberts Rinehart
“Isn’t it wonderful that two of the most sacred and symbolic plants, the olive and the vine, live on almost nothing, a terrace of limestone, sun, and rain?”
@Janet Erskine Stuart
“Whenever the white man treats the Indians as they treat each other then we shall have no more wars. We shall be all alike – brothers of one father and mother, with one sky above us and one country around us and one government for all. Then the Great Spirit Chief who rules above will smile upon this land and send rain to wash out the bloody spots made by brothers’ hands upon the face of the earth. For this time the Indian race is waiting and praying. I hope no more groans of wounded men and women will ever go to the ear of the Great Spirit Chief above, and that all people may be one people.”
@Chief Joseph
“A woman’s work, from the time she gets up to the time she goes to bed, is as hard as a day at war, worse than a man’s working day. … To men, women’s work was like the rain-bringing clouds, or the rain itself. The task involved was carried out every day as regularly as sleep. So men were happy – men in the Middle Ages, men at the time of the Revolution, and men in 1986: everything in the garden was lovely.”
@Marguerite Duras
Short Rain Quotes
“rain is one thing the British do better than anybody else.”
@Marilyn French
“The music was as much a gift as sunshine, as rain, as any blessing ever prayed for.”
@Bebe Moore Campbell
“In the swirling rain that came at dusk, the broad avenue glistened with that deep bluish tint which is so widely condemned when it is put into pictures.”
@Stephen Crane
“The earth is soaked and soggy with rain. Everything is drinking its fill and the surplus gluts the drains. The sky is full of it and lies low over the earth, heavy and dense. Even the sea is wetter than usual!”
@Emily Carr
“Gentle feelings produce profoundly beneficial effects upon stern natures. It is the spring rain which melts the ice-covering of the earth, and causes it to open to the beams of heaven.”
@Fredrika Bremer
“Maybe love is like rain. Sometimes gentle, sometimes torrential, flooding, eroding, joyful, steady, filling the earth, collecting in underground springs. When it rains, when we love, life grows.”
@Carol Gilligan
“Is the sea drying up? It is going up into the mist and coming down on us in this water spout, the rain. It raineth every day, and the weather represents our tearful despair on a large scale.”
@Mary Boykin Chesnut
“The rains are rhythmic, coming religiously in the afternoons (after lunch has been eaten but before tea, so that the nights are washed clean-black with bright pinpoints of silver starlight hanging over restless, grateful earth).”
@Alexandra Fuller
“Any action, like any act of magic, is in some sense an act of faith … I’ve seen the desert bloom, the flower that emerges from the barest hint of water, and I know the power of life will rise, stubborn and persistent to be renewed. May our actions be the wind that brings the rain.”
@Starhawk
“The rains tumble down in the sky!
Young swallows have learned how to fly!!
The leaves that were green are no longer so green!
And it looks like the summer is over.!!”@Tom Springfield
“Why is it that nobody cries out, nobody spits in their faces, nobody jumps at their throats? We doff our caps to the S.S. men returning from the little wood; if our name is called out we obediently go with them to die, and we do nothing. We starve, we are drenched by rain, we are torn from our families. What is this mystery? This strange power of one man over another? This insane passivity that cannot be overcome? Our only strength is our great number; the gas chambers cannot accommodate all of us.”
@Tadeusz Borowski
“All-natural results are spontaneous. The diamond sparkles without effort, and the flowers open impulsively beneath the summer rain. And true religion is a spontaneous thing,–as natural as it is to weep, to love, or to rejoice.”
@Edwin Hubbel Chapin
“I will tell you where there is power: where the dew lies upon the hills, and the rain has moistened the roots of the various plant; where the sunshine pours steadily; where the brook runs babbling along, there is a beneficent power.”
@Edwin Hubbel Chapin
“here are the top three global resources getting scarcer in the twenty-first century: ozone layer, rain forest, people eager to read the fiction of others. That’s right, folks. For the first time in I believe written history, there are far more fiction writers on earth than fiction readers.”
@Sandra Tsing Loh
“rain began to beat at the narrow lattice windows in the stop-and-start manner of an untalented child practicing scales at the piano.”
@Dorothy Cannell
“The portion of some is to have their afflictions by drops, now one drop and then another; but the dregs of the cup, the wine of astonishment, like a sweeping rain that leaveth no food, did the Lord prepare to be my portion.”
@Mary Rowlandson
“If you’re going to reach for it, reach all the way for it. Albums like Purple Rain and Thriller and those kinds of records, you had to reach far above the din of cynicism and modern living to get to that place, against all the odds.”
@Dave Sitek
“I heard doctors revived a man who had been dead for 4-1/2 minutes. When they asked him what it was like being dead, he said it was like listening to Yankees announcer Phil Rizzuto during a rain delay.”
@David Letterman
“S. E. Smith’s I Live in a Hut has a deceptively simple title, considering that the brain in that hut contains galaxies-worth of invention: At night when your soldiers are praying ceaselessly for less rain and more underwear my soldiers make underwear out of the rain. These poems seesaw between despair and delight but delight in winning the battle. Smith is a somersaulting tightrope walker of a poet and her poems will make you look at anything and everything with new eyes: For days I tried to rub the new freckle // off my hand until I realized what it was / and began to grant it its sovereignty.”
@Matthea Harvey
“I try to find the beauty in things. On dark days, I sit in my armchair looking at clouds and I am awed at how rain is made.”
@Ayana Mathis

@Gertrude Atherton
“An eight-mile drive over rain-washed Irish roads in the quick-falling dusk of autumn is an experience trying to the patience, even to the temper, of the average Saxon.”

“By mid-morning a rain as fine as silk spills were weaving over the lake.”
@Martha Ostenso
“a heart may be lifted up and cast down in the same moment, as sometimes sunshine comes while rain is falling and builds upward in the sky tall reaches of misty, unlikely beauty.”
@Caroline Pafford Miller
“Life smacks Tracy Morgan in the face, and I don’t mean to talk in third party, but no, it doesn’t stop raining when I come outside, no, absolutely not. I’m very in touch.”
@Tracy Morgan
“I never want to be too mean with my songs, but with I Hope It Rains it was definitely somewhere in the middle with being sassy but also a little class in there as well. It was a good blend for me and who I want to be perceived as an artist.”
@Jana Kramer
“Rains driven by storms fall not perpetually on the land already sodden, neither do varying gales forever disturb the Caspian sea.”
@Horace
“A great while ago the world begun!
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain!!
But that’s all one, our play is done!
And we’ll strive to please you every day.!!”@William Shakespeare
“I live in the country, so I get a fair amount of exercise. We heat our house with wood, so I split wood. We also live on a steep hill, and I have to rake and put in cross-stitches to keep the road from washing out when there’s a big rain.”
@Pete Seeger
