Enlightened people seldom or never possess a sense of responsibility.
What you keep by you, you may change and mend but words, once spoken, can never be recalled.
Earl of Roscommon
Never invest your money in anything that eats or needs repairing.
Billy Rose
Never bet on baseball.
Pete Rose
My father taught me that the only way you can make good at anything is to practice, and then practice some more.
How marvelous it all is! Built not by saints and angels, but the work of men's hands; cemented with men's honest blood and with a world of tears, welded by the best brains of centuries past; not without the taint and reproach incidental to all human work, but constructed on the whole with pure and splendid purpose. Human, and yet not wholly human -- for the most heedless and the most cynical must see the finger of the Divine.
Lord Rosebery
Does art reflect life? In movies, yes. Because more than any other art form, films have been a mirror held up to society's porous face.
Marjorie Rosen
Psychobabble is... a set of repetitive verbal formalities that kills off the very spontaneity, candor, and understanding it pretends to promote. It's an idiom that reduces psychological insight to a collection of standardized observations, that provides a frozen lexicon to deal with an infinite variety of problems.
Richard D. Rosen
If we ever do end up acting just like rats or Pavlov's dogs, it will be largely because behaviorism has conditioned us to do so.
Are you going out after the truth, or are you going out after something you believe?
If anything characterizes the cultural life of the seventies in America, it is an insistence on preventing failures of communication.
It isn't sufficient just to want -- you've got to ask yourself what you are going to do to get the things you want.
Confession, alas, is the new handshake.
It's apparent that we can't proceed any further without a name for this institutionalized garrulousness, this psychological patter, this need to catalogue the ego's condition. Let's call it psychobabble, this spirit which now tyrannizes conversation in the seventies.
Very young children eat their books, literally devouring their contents. This is one reason for the scarcity of first editions of Alice in Wonderland and other favorites of the nursery.
A. S. W. Rosenbach
There just isn't any pleasing some people. The trick is to stop trying.
Joel Rosenberg
Man tends to root for the underdog, because he fears that he will find himself in that same position far too often.
Michael S. Rosenberg
In every dispute between parent and child, both cannot be right, but they may be, and usually are, both wrong. It is this situation which gives family life its peculiar hysterical charm.
Isaac Rosenfeld
Destiny is something men select; women achieve it only by default or stupendous suffering.
Harriet Rosenstein
Early in my business career I learned the folly of worrying about anything. I have always worked as hard as I could, but when a thing went wrong and could not be righted, I dismissed it from my mind.
Julius Rosenwald
The universe is so vast and ageless that the life of one man can only be measured by the size of his sacrifice.
Rosewarne V.A
The fundamental delusion of humanity is to suppose that I am here and you are out there.
Yasutani Roshi
The smallest bookstore still contains more ideas of worth than have been presented in the entire history of television.
Andrew Ross
You can't just sit there and wait for people to give you that golden dream. You've got to get out there and make it happen for yourself.
Diana Ross
Instead of looking at the past, I put myself ahead twenty years and try to look at what I need to do now in order to get there then.
With the Supremes I made so much money so fast all I wanted to do was buy clothes and pretty things. Now I'm comfortable with money and it's comfortable with me.
Editing is the same as quarreling with writers -- same thing exactly.
Harold Wallace Ross
Think as you work, for in the final analysis, your worth to your company comes not only in solving problems, but also in anticipating them.
Don't hide your strategy under a bushel. Communicate it throughout your company. It's better today to disclose too much that too little.
Joel E. Ross
He who gives while he lives, get to know where it goes.
Percy Ross
I certainly do not consider myself permanently dedicated to a crusade for peace and I am beginning to see the uselessness and absurdity of getting too involved in a 'peace movement.' The chief reason why I have spoken out was that I felt I owed it to my conscience to do so. There are certain things that have to be clearly stated. I had in mind particularly the danger arising from the fact that some of the most belligerent people in this country are Christians, on the one hand fundamentalist Protestants and on the other certain Catholics. They both tend to appeal to the bomb to do a 'holy' work of destruction in the name of Christ and Christian truth. This is completely intolerable and the truth has to be stated. I cannot in conscience remain indifferent.
Thomas Merton, letter to Czeslaw
Our most important task is to transform our consciousness so that violence is no longer an option for us in our personal lives, that understanding that a world of peace is possible only if we relate to each other as peaceful beings, one individual at a time.http://www.beliefnet.com/story/160/story_16071_1.html
Deepak Chopra, from an interview
Of all tyrannies a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C.S. Lewis
If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, Gulag Arc
may my heart always be open to little birds who are the secrets of livingwhatever they sing is better than to knowand if men should not hear them men are oldmay my mind stroll about hungryand fearless and thirsty and suppleand even if it
e. e. (Edward Estlin) cummings
History leaves no doubt that among of the most regrettable crimes committed by human beings have been committed by those human beings who thought of themselves as civilized. What, we must ask, does our civilization possess that is worth defending? One thing worth defending, I suggest, is the imperative to imagine the lives of beings who are not ourselves and are not like ourselves: animals, plants, gods, spirits, people of other countries, other races, people of the other sex, places and enemies.
Wendell Berry, Peaceableness Tow
Maturity knows no age. It is a concept that can only become a reality when one completely reliquishes their childhood tendencies and fully embraces the ideals valued by those already matured.
Andy Mastay, (quotation submitte
Easy is right. Begin right, and you will be easy. Continue easy and you are right... The right way to go easy is to forget the right way, and forget that the going is easy.
Chuang Tzu
The torch of doubt and chaos is what the sage steers by.
There are two ways to spread happiness; either be the light who shines it or be the mirror who reflects it.
Edith Wharton
I want to be remembered as the girl who always smiles even when her heart is broken. And the one that could always brighten up your day even if she couldnt brighten her own.
