The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every calling, is diligence.
I see it as more of a teenage activity than, you know, she's only 11, but you know, I think it's great that she knows so many girls who want to play music. And I see it more as a teen activity than I do as going into music.
Kim Gordon
An author ought to write for the youth of his own generation, the critics of the next, and the school-masters of ever afterward.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Working moms commonly testify that they feel guilty when they are away from their children and guilty when they are not at their jobs. Devoted fathers certainly miss their children deeply, but it does not seem to be with the same gnawing, primal anxiety that often afflicts women.
Camille Paglia
Great authors are admirable in this respect: in every generation they make for disagreement. Through them we become aware of our differences.
Andre Gide
There'll always be working people in my poems because I grew up with them, and I am a poet of memory.
Philip Levine
I cannot accept the doctrine that in poetry there is a suspension of belief. A poet must never make a statement simply because it is sounds poetically exciting; he must also believe it to be true.
W. H. Auden
Most success springs from an obstacle or failure. I became a cartoonist largely because I failed in my goal of becoming a successful executive.
Scott Adams
I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests.
Pablo Neruda
I did not believe political directives could be successfully applied to creative writing . . . not to poetry or fiction, which to be valid had to express as truthfully as possible the individual emotions and reactions of the writer.
Langston Hughes
A man who lives, not by what he loves but what he hates, is a sick man.
Archibald MacLeish
I must learn to love the fool in me the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries.
Theodore Rubin, Love Me, Love My
'UFO's' attitude toward the subject is very similar to mine. It's not an advocacy its philosophy is more 'I want to believe this, but I want it proved.'
Dwight Schultz
Speech is often barren; but silence also does not necessarily brood over a full nest. Your still fowl, blinking at you without remark, may all the while be sitting on one addled egg...
George Eliot, Felix Holt, ch. 15
Few people know how to take a walk. The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence and nothing too much.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The silence that accepts merit as the most natural thing in the world is the highest applause.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Divinity Sc
Silence is argument carried on by other means.
Ernesto "Che" Guevara
Now I know that that is just the phenomena of eating this way. Most all of my letters say I hit a plateau and then one morning I woke up and the melt had happened.
Suzanne Somers
And silence sounds no worse than cheersAfter death has stopped the ears.
A.E. Housman, A Shropshire Lad,
Because religion has such a compelling hold on the deep psyches of so many people, feminists cannot afford to leave it in the hands of the fathers.
Carol P. Christ
The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution.
Hannah Arendt
It was never in my dreams to make my personal life anybody else's business.
Ethan Hawke
I and the public know What all schoolchildren learn,Those to whom evil is doneDo evil in return.
W. H. Auden, 1Sep39
Something called 'the Oklahoma Standard' became known throughout the world. It means resilience in the face of adversity. It means a strength and compassion that will not be defeated.
Brad Henry
There is a strange interdependence between thoughtlessness and evil.
Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerus
I think that the entertainment industry itself has a history of chasing success. Any time a hit product comes out, all the other companies start chasing after that success and trying to recreate it by putting out similar products.
Shigeru Miyamoto
To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he's doing is good... Ideology - that is what gives devildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination. That is the social theory which helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad in his own and others' eyes, so that he won't hear reproaches and curses but will receive praise and honors.
Alexandr Solzhenitsyn
Only the mob and the elite can be attracted by the momentum of totalitarianism itself. The masses have to be won by propaganda.
A civilization in which there is not a continuous controversy about important issues is on the way to totalitarianism and death.
Robert Maynard Hutchins
Neither prosperity nor empire nor heaven can be worth winning at the price of a virulent temper, bloody hands, an anguished spirit, and a vain hatred of the rest of the world.
John Milton
Ah, then, upon my bedroom I do draw The blind to hide the garden, where the moonEnjoys the open blossoms as they strawTheir beauty for his taking, boon for boon.And I do lift my aching arms to you,And I do lift my anguished, avid breast,And I do weep for very pain of you,And fling myself at the doors of sleep, for rest.
D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence,
Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent.
Sophia Loren
If you take the contempt some Americans have for yuppies and multiply it by 10 you might come close to understanding their attitude towards the City, as they call it - London, the people of the south.
Martin C. Smith
The conduct of men depends upon the temperament, not upon a bunch of musty maxims.
Benjamin Disraeli
The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.
Alexander Hamilton
The highlight of my childhood was making my brother laugh so hard that food came out of his nose.
Garrison Keillor
Take time to gather up the past so that you will be able to draw from your experience and invest them in the future.
Jim Rohn
Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.
I like movies that pop, that have a little bit of candy on, that freedom to have a little bit of extra fun, but are rooted in real behaviour. Rooted in cause and effect, never violating reality.
Tony Gilroy
Anyhow, a philosophical turn of thought now was not amiss, else one's patience would have given out almost at the harbour entrance. The term of her probation was eight days.
Joshua Slocum
Giving is better than receiving because giving starts the receiving process.
