It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
I am rather inclined to silence, and whether that be wise or not, it is at least more unusual nowadays to find a man who can hold his tongue than to find one who cannot.
Abraham Lincoln
It is neither wealth nor splendor but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness.
Thomas Jefferson
Water is always a support or a healing thing apart from, you know, love or peace of mind.
Nastassja Kinski
Each age, it is found, must write its own books or rather, each generation for the next succeeding.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It boils down to this: we should have done with humbug, and let war be war, and not a game ... If there were none of this magnanimity business in warfare, we should never go to war, except for something worth facing certain death for.
Leo Tolstoy
To describe happiness is to diminish it.
Stendhal
All authority is quite degrading. It degrades those who exercise it, and degrades those over whom it is exercised. When it is violently, grossly, and cruelly used, it produces a good effect by creating, or at any rate bringing out, the spirit of revolt and individualism that is to kill it. When it is used with a certain amount of kindness, and accompanied by prizes and rewards, it is dreadfully demoralising. People, in that case, are less conscious of the horrible pressure that is being put on them, and so go through their lives in a sort of coarse comfort, like petted animals, without ever realising that they are probably thinking other people's thoughts, living by other people's standards, wearing practically what one may call other people's second-hand clothes, and never being themselves for a single moment.
Oscar Wilde
When I first found out that I was an Idol finalist, I cried tears of happiness. I was just so happy, and my family was there and the fact that got to see that moment and share that moment with me was just everything to me.
Pia Toscano
Man needs difficulties they are necessary for health.
Carl Jung
You will say that these are very small sins; and doubtless, like all young tempters, you are anxious to be able to report spectacular wickedness. But do remember, the only thing that matters is the extent to which you separate the man from the Enemy. It does not matter how small the sins are provided that their cumulative effect is to edge the man away from the Light and out into the Nothing. Murder is no better than cards if cards can do the trick. Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one-the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.
C.S. Lewis
There would not be enough talent that's educated, developed and ready to take on the next leadership challenge, and it would cap our growth. Now we've put programs in place not to have that happen, but that could be a weakness.
Kevin Rollins
Homeopathy cures a larger percentage of cases than any other form of treatment and is beyond doubt safer and more economical.
Mahatma Gandhi
I do all the evil I can before I learn to shun it? Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.
I like a women who's got some balls, some strength. As long as I can beat her at arm wrestling, that's fine.
James Hetfield
The sad truth is that without complex business partnerships between African elites and European traders and commercial agents, the slave trade to the New World would have been impossible, at least on the scale it occurred.
Henry Louis Gates
It is the preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else that prevents us from living freely and nobly.
Bertrand Russell
The fate of this man or that man was less than a drop, although it was a sparkling one, in the great blue motion of the sunlit sea.
T.H. White
The elimination of the fear of death transforms the individual's way of being in the world.
Stanislav Grof
In fair weather prepare for foul.
Thomas Fuller
To succeed, you will soon learn, as I did, the importance of a solid foundation in the basics of education - literacy, both verbal and numerical, and communication skills.
Alan Greenspan
Dickens is one of those authors who are well worth stealing.
George Orwell
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Katharine Hepburn
I like video games, but they are very violent. I want to create a video game in which you have to help all the characters who have died in the other games. 'Hey, man, what are you playing?' 'Super Busy Hospital. Could you leave me alone? I'm performing surgery! This guy got shot in the head, like, 27 times!'
Demetri Martin
I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess
Martin Luther King Jr.
If you leave your wife and you don't ever contact her again, that says something about how you felt about the marriage.
H. G. Bissinger
I asked my wife if she enjoys a cigarette after sex and she said, no one drag is enough
Rodney Dangerfield
We are not hungry... Why foist this food upon us? We don't want to be choked. We have enough.
Robert Mugabe
Alas! how little does the memory of these human inhabitants enhance the beauty of the landscape!
Henry David Thoreau
If no other knowledge deserves to be called useful but that which helps to enlarge our possessions or to raise our station in society, then Mythology has no claim to the appellation.
Thomas Bulfinch
She was so fat that when she got on the scale a card came out saying one at a time.
Ted Turner is still a leader. And he sets a great example. His ability financially has been reduced, but his influence and his example still is an important asset to the whole environmental movement.
Maurice Strong
Faith means not wanting to know what is true.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Give the people not hell, but hope and courage.
John Murray
I wasn't looking to get into TV. My family was in the movie business, so I was never interested in that world.
Giada De Laurentiis
He smiles at me, and I am suddenly seventeen again - the year I realize that love doesn't follow the rules, the year I understood that nothing is worth having so much as something unattainable
Jodi Picoult
Additionally, Smart Irrigation Month serves to recognize advances in irrigation technology and practices that produce not only more but also higher quality plants with less water.
Jim Costa
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
James Anthony Froude
Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you.
Jane Austen
Well, I want to do The Music Man. I think it's an amazing opportunity, but I think that they are probably looking at major movie stars right now, and I don't blame them.
Gregory Harrison
Something more terrible than a hell where one suffers may be imagined, and that is a hell where one is bored.
Victor Hugo
