My dad was president of the volunteer fire department, which was within walking distance to our house. I spent several days of each week there with him – any time the whistle blew, he went. It was truly inspiring to watch him lead that way.
I did my military service from 1989 – 92 and I was never shot at or had to fire on anybody. I was very lucky. I was more involved in intelligence and counter-intelligence.
I met a zillion people through Ronnie Wood. He’s been my friend since he was in The Faces, and he’s still my best friend. A real person, earthy, working 24 hours a day, uplifting to be around, and he’s still got that fire about music.
Jonathan is that brilliant little fire that burns within us all, that lives only for those moments when we reach perfection.
If my house was on fire, I can’t compromise about which part of the house I’m going to save. You save the whole house or it will all burn down. We either save this country or we do not.
If I were packing for a deserted island, I would bring sunscreen, a water purifier, something to start a fire with, my sister, and something for protection.
There’s always going to be someone out there who doesn’t like what you do, doesn’t like your style, your face. That’s part of life. But I feed off that. I don’t think I’d be where I am today if it wasn’t for that. It puts a little fire in the belly, keeps me going so I can prove so many people wrong.
We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to their shining – they just shine.
A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire, in magnitude at least, but a single tree is like a dancing tongue of flame to warm the heart.
Walter Mayer was a hero at a Salvation Army home fire in Cincinnati.
While there are many varieties of grills, each with their own virtues to be sure, I prefer the standard Weber kettle grill. Don’t be fooled into thinking that you need any fancy gadgets in order to take advantage of cooking over a live fire. Just a good set of tongs and you’re set.
Love is the fire that warms our lives with unparalleled joy and divine hope. Love should be our walk and our talk.
The romantic person instinctively sees marriage in terms of emotions, but what a couple actually gets up to together over a lifetime has much more in common with the workings of a small business.

There’s a guy on YouTube named Mac Lethal – he spits hot fire.
You cannot play with fire.
Oh, this base heart of ours! Hath it not enough tinder in it to set on fire the course of nature? If a spark do but fall into it, any one of our members left to itself would dishonour Christ, deny the Lord that bought us, and turn back into perdition.
Though ‘Fire and Rain’ is very personal, for other people it resonates as a sort of commonly held experience… And that’s what happens with me. I write things for personal reasons, and then in some cases it… can be a shared experience.
I had daydreams and fantasies when I was growing up. I always wanted to live in a log cabin at the foot of a mountain. I would ride my horse to town and pick up provisions. Then return to the cabin, with a big open fire, a record player and peace.
It would be great to be able to pass on to someone all of the successes, the failures, and the knowledge that one has had. To help someone, avoid all the fire, pain and anxiety would be wonderful.

The rising cost of prescription drugs has sparked a prairie fire that is spreading across our nation.
I’ve always had a way with a gun. As a kid, I loved to fire them at the shooting range in amusement parks. I’d always return home with a handful of prizes.

It is easy enough to be moral after a good dinner beside a snug coal fire, and with our hearts well warmed with fine old port.
I found the purpose of my existence, and also the purpose of my circumstance. There’s a purpose for why you’re in the fire. If God can use a man without arms and legs to be His hands and feet, then He will certainly use any willing heart!
I am a big fan of cosy. I get very excited by a roaring fire and even a perfectly made cup of tea. And being married really is the ultimate in cosy, so I couldn’t be more content.
There really is only one story that you need to tell as a scientist or a technologist. It’s Prometheus stealing fire. That’s it. That’s what we do as scientists or technologists.
Mars has long exerted a pull on the human imagination. The erratically moving red star in the sky was seen as sinister or violent by the ancients: The Greeks identified it with Ares, the god of war; the Babylonians named it after Nergal, god of the underworld. To the ancient Chinese, it was Ying-huo, the fire planet.
We’re still a great team. In your mind you can understand that but, emotionally, we needed to express the same belief. We came out full of fire and scored two early goals, two really beautiful goals, and that changed everything.
They’re either going to fire you or they’re not. They can only fire you. That’s all they can do. They can’t take your thumbs.
Books that you carry to the fire, and hold readily in your hand, are most useful after all.
I am Classic Rock Revisited. I revisit it every waking moment of my life because it has the spirit and the attitude and the fire and the middle finger. I am Rosa Parks with a Gibson guitar.
Throwing money on the fire is normally not the solution to every problem. You put the fire out by listening to the people who are smarter than you are.
What is emitted from the divine, though it be only like the reflection from the fire, still has the divine reality in itself, and one might almost ask what were the fire without glow, the sun without light, or the Creator without the creature?
God’s love-eye does not see essentially into the wicked rebellious apostate soul; neither also into the devil, but his anger-eye sees thereinto; that is, God, according to the property of the anger or fire of wrath, sees in the devil, and in the false soul.
There was nothing there but black water and American fire power.
‘Yela’ represents hunger, life, light, fire, power. ‘Wolf’ speaks to my fighting spirit. The soul I put in my music.

Honest criticism means nothing: what one wants is unrestrained passion, fire for fire.
The fire to inspire women and help them to blaze new paths fiercely burns inside of me.
There must be a story within him/her that wants to come out. That’s the reason why ‘Dil Chahta Hai,’ ‘Lagaan,’ and ‘Rang De Basanti’ worked so well: Ashutosh, Farhan, and Rakesh had a story inside them. It’s very important that the director should have the fire in the belly to tell the story.
I always believe that most people could do it. I mean obviously I didn’t just sit and stand. I used to love cradling the gun and just posing with the hand cocked ready to fire the gun, and the costume helped a great deal.
I did mostly good things, except light things on fire.
Eating coals of fire has always been one of the sensational feats of the Fire Kings, as it is quite generally known that charcoal burns with an extremely intense heat.
QLA is not about filling your brain with information – it is starting a fire within your heart and soul!
There is an electric fire in human nature tending to purify – so that among these human creatures there is continually some birth of new heroism. The pity is that we must wonder at it, as we should at finding a pearl in rubbish.
I’ve seen public opinion shift like the wind and put out the very fire it lighted.
I think these ladies, that group of 130 women, are going to make a difference in what goes on down there, because they’re going to hold the locals’ feet to the fire.
The idea of aerial military surveillance dates back to the Civil War, when both the Union and the Confederacy used hot-air balloons to spy on the other side, tracking troop movements and helping to direct artillery fire.
Cameras help to minimize collateral damage, and very often, without a camera a missile cannot fire. Certainly, without a camera a drone can’t function, which means that the very ways in which we wage war are determined in part by how cameras work and whether they work at all.
The thing that I really look for in people is enthusiasm and excitement and, not to sound really sappy, that fire in their eyes.
My passion and fire run deep through my veins, my blood, there’s no doubt about that.
