Romana Machado
You know how to conquer, Hannibal, but not how to profit by your victory.
Macherbal
Nothing is interesting if you are not interested.
Helen Macinness
A striking feature of moral and political argument in the modern world is the extent to which it is innovators, radicals, and revolutionaries who revive old doctrines, while their conservative and reactionary opponents are the inventors of new ones.
Alasdair Chalmers Macintyre
When you educate a man you educate an individual; when you educate a woman you educate a whole family.
Robert M. Maciver
The kingdom of God could be realized simply by daring to live differently from the normal conventions. The kingdom of God in the teachings of Jesus was not an apocalyptic or heavenly projection of otherworldly desire. It was driven by a desire to think that there must be a better way to live together than the present state of affairs. And it called for a change of behavior in the present on the part of individuals invested in the vision.
Burton L. Mack
Lightning is the shorthand of a storm, and tells of chaos.
Eric Mackay
The sale begins when the customer says yes.
Harvey Mackay
No one ever went broke by saying no too often.
To have known the best, and to have known it for the best, is success in life.
John W. Mackay
Women do not find it difficult nowadays to behave like men, but they often find it extremely difficult to behave like gentlemen.
Compton Mackenzie
It is only from the belief of the goodness and wisdom of a supreme being, that our calamities can be borne in the manner which becomes a man.
Henry Mackenzie
If they have a popular thought they have to go into a darkened room and lie down until it passes.
Kelvin Mackenzie
Maxims are the condensed good sense of nations.
James Mackintosh
Whatever is popular deserves attention.
It is right to be contented with what we have, but never with what we are.
The law is a sort of hocus-pocus science, that smiles in yer face while it picks yer pocket: and the glorious uncertainty of it is of more use to the professors than the justice of it.
Charles Macklin
The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.
Shirley MacLaine
A person who knows how to laugh at himself will never ceased to be amused.
The best way to get husbands to do something is to suggest that perhaps they are too old to do it.
It is useless to hold a person to anything he says while he is in love, drunk, or running for office.
I don't need anyone to rectify my existence. The most profound relationship we will ever have is the one with ourselves.
In making our decisions, we must use the brains that God has given us. But we must also use our hearts which He also gave us. A man who has not learned to say, No --who is not resolved that he will take God's way, in spite of every dog that can bay or bark at him, in spite of every silvery choice that woos him aside--will be a weak and a wretched man till he dies.
Alexander Maclaren
Every life has dark tracts and long stretches of somber tint, and no representation is true to fact which dips its pencil only in light, and flings no shadows on the canvas.
Only he who can say, The Lord is my strength, can say, Of whom shall I be afraid?
All that this world knows of living lies in giving -- and more giving; He that keeps, be sure he loses -Friendship grows by what it uses.
Seek to cultivate a buoyant, joyous sense of the crowded kindnesses of God in your daily life.
The grace of God, says Luther, is like a flying summer shower. It has fallen upon more than one land, and passed on. Judea had it, and lies barren and dry. These Asiatic coasts had it, and flung it away.
The discipline of the written word punishes both stupidity and dishonesty.
John Steinbeck
The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.
Unless a reviewer has the courage to give you unqualified praise, I say ignore the bastard.
Give a critic an inch, he'll write a play.
The President must be greater than anyone else, but not better than anyone else. We subject him and his family to close and constant scrutiny and denounce them for things that we ourselves do every day. A Presidential slip of the tongue, a slight error in judgmentsocial, political, or ethicalcan raise a storm of protest. We give the President more work than a man can do, more responsibility than a man should take, more pressure than a man can bear. We abuse him often and rarely praise him. We wear him out, use him up, eat him up. And with all this, Americans have a love for the President that goes beyond loyalty or party nationality; he is ours, and we exercise the right to destroy him.
How can we live without our lives? How will we know its us without our past?
The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.
To shoot a man because one disagrees with his interpretation of Darwin or Hegel is a sinister tribute to the supremacy of ideas in human affairs -- but a tribute nevertheless.
