If you can accept losing, you can't win.
Rock and roll doesn't necessarily mean a band. It doesn't mean a singer, and it doesn't mean a lyric, really. It's that question of trying to be immortal.
Malcolm Mclaren
Our culture has become something that is completely and utterly in love with its parent. It's become a notion of boredom that is bought and sold, where nothing will happen except that people will become more and more terrified of tomorrow, because the new continues to look old, and the old will always look cute.
What is possible is our highest duty.
William E. Mclaren
Welcome thy neighbor into thy fallout shelter. He'll come in handy if you run out of food.
Dean McLaughlin
Honesty is the most single most important factor having a direct bearing on the final success of an individual, corporation, or product.
Ed McMahon
Can't nothing make your life work if you ain't the architect.
Terry McMillan
True maturity is only reached when a man realizes he has become a father figure to his girlfriends boyfriends -- and he accepts it.
Larry McMurtry
The lives of happy people are dense with their own doings -- crowded, active, thick. But the sorrowing are nomads, on a plain with few landmarks and no boundaries; sorrow's horizons are vague and its demands are few.
You expect far too much of a first sentence. Think of it as analogous to a good country breakfast: what we want is something simple, but nourishing to the imagination. Hold the philosophy, hold the adjectives, just give us a plain subject and verb and perhaps a wholesome, nonfattening adverb or two.
Whether or not you reach your goals in life depends entirely on how well you prepare for them and how badly you want them. You're eagles! Stretch your wings and fly to the sky.
Ronald McNair
In a start-up company, you basically throw out all assumptions every three weeks.
Scott McNealy
You just keep pushing. You just keep pushing. I made every mistake that could be made. But I just kept pushing.
Rene Mcpherson
A multiple personality is in a certain sense normal.
George H. Mead
If we want to make something really superb on this planet, there is nothing whatever that can stop us.
Shepherd Mead
It is difficult to steer a parked car, so get moving.
Henrietta Mears
To finish first, you must first finish.
Rick Mears
The human mind treats a new idea the way the body treats a strange protein; it rejects it.
Sir Peter Medawar
Considered in its entirety, psychoanalysis won't do. It's an end product, moreover, like a dinosaur or a zeppelin; no better theory can ever be erected on its ruins, which will remain for ever one of the saddest and strangest of all landmarks in the history of twentieth-century thought.
If politics is the art of the possible, research is surely the art of the soluble. Both are immensely practical-minded affairs.
Today the world changes so quickly that in growing up we take leave not just of youth but of the world we were young in. Fear and resentment of what is new is really a lament for the memories of our childhood.
Men are at war with each other because each man is at war with himself.
Francis Meehan
You don't have many suspects who are innocent of a crime. That's contradictory. If a person is innocent of a crime, then he is not a suspect.
Edwin Meese
Let the ideas clash but not the hearts.
C. C. Mehta
Your friends praise your abilities to the skies, submit to you in argument, and seem to have the greatest deference for you; but, though they may ask it, you never find them following your advice upon their own affairs; nor allowing you to manage your own, without thinking that you should follow theirs. Thus, in fact, they all think themselves wiser than you, whatever they may say.
Lord Melbourne
A doctrinaire is a fool but an honest man.
It wounds a man less to confess that he has failed in any pursuit through idleness, neglect, the love of pleasure, etc., etc., which are his own faults, than through incapacity and unfitness, which are the faults of his nature.
The whole duty of government is to prevent crime and to preserve contracts.
That is no use at all. What I want is men who will support me when I am in the wrong.
My esoteric doctrine, is that if you entertain any doubt, it is safest to take the unpopular side in the first instance. Transit from the unpopular, is easy... but from the popular to the unpopular is so steep and rugged that it is impossible to maintain it.
Nobody ever did anything very foolish except from some strong principle.
If it was not absolutely necessary, it was the foolishest thing ever done.
I wish I was as cocksure of anything as Tom Macaulay is of everything.
Neither man nor woman can be worth anything until they have discovered that they are fools. This is the first step towards becoming either estimable or agreeable; and until it be taken there is no hope. The sooner the discovery is made the better, as there is more time and power for taking advantage of it. Sometimes the great truth is found out too late to apply to it any effectual remedy. Sometimes it is never found at all; and these form the desperate and inveterate causes of folly, self-conceit, and impertinence.
Wealth is so much the greatest good that Fortune has to bestow that in the Latin and English languages it has usurped her name.
Once is orthodox, twice is puritanical.
It is not much matter which we say, but mind, we must all say the same.
You should never assume contempt for that which it is not very manifest that you have it in your power to possess, nor does a wit ever make a more contemptible figure than when, in attempting satire, he shows that he does not understand that which he would make the subject of his ridicule.
Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point. Climb slowly, steadily, enjoying each passing moment; and the view from the summit will serve as a fitting climax for the journey.
Harold V Melchert
Bear in mind, if you are going to amount to anything, that your success does not depend upon the brilliance and the impetuosity with which you take hold, but upon the ever lasting and sanctified bull doggedness with which you hang on after you have taken hold.
Dr. A. B. Meldrum
You know, it's cigarettes that killed (Jerry) Garcia. Everyone thinks it's heroin, but it wasn't. It was cigarettes.
