In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
While farmers generally allow one rooster for ten hens, ten men are scarcely sufficient to service one woman.
Giovanni Boccaccio
Poetry is the impish attempt to paint the color of the wind.
Maxwell Bodenheim
I try to respect the rules of the silent movies and I tried to make signification to make sense, and also the crew were very good and the fact that we shot in LA in the real Hollywood, studios and houses. We shot in the bed of Mary Pickford, and you cannot be any more accurate than that, so that helped a lot.
Michel Hazanavicius
The majority of pacifists either belong to obscure religious sects or are simply humanitarians who object to taking life and prefer not to follow their thoughts beyond that point. But there is a minority of intellectual pacifists, whose real though unacknowledged motive appears to be hatred of western democracy and admiration for totalitarianism. Pacifist propaganda usually boils down to saying that one side is as bad as the other, but if one looks closely at the writing of the younger intellectual pacifists, one finds that they do not by any means express impartial disapproval but are directed almost entirely against Britain and the United States
George Orwell
To banish cares, scare away sorrow and soothe pain is the business of the poet and singer.
Bodenstedt
Great ideas originate in the muscles.
Thomas A. Edison
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist? An optimist laughs to forget, but a pessimist forgets to laugh.
Tom Bodett
The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.
You should never name an animal which is not yours to keep, or which you intend to eat.
Deborah Boliver Boehm
When thou art quiet and silent, then art thou as God was before nature and creature; thou art that which God then wats; thou art that whereof he made thy nature and creature: Then thou hearest and seest even with that wherewith God himself saw and heard in thee, before every thine own willing or thine own seeing began.
Jacob Boehme
One must be a god to be able to tell successes from failures without making a mistake.
Anton Chekhov
When thou standest still from thinking and willing of self, the eternal hearing, seeing, and speaking will be revealed to thee, and so God heareth and seeth through thee. Thine own hearing, willing, and seeing hindereth thee, that thou dost not see nor hear God.
The earth is rocky and full of roots it's clay, and it seems doomed and polluted, but you dig little holes for the ugly shriveled bulbs, throw in a handful of poppy seeds, and cover it all over, and you know you'll never see it again - it's death and clay and shrivel, and your hands are nicked from the rocks, your nails black with soil.
Anne Lamott
The burden therefore rests with the American legal community and with the American human-rights lobbies and non-governmental organizations. They can either persist in averting their gaze from the egregious impunity enjoyed by a notorious war criminal and lawbreaker, or they can become seized by the exalted standards to which they continually hold everyone else. The current state of suspended animation, however, cannot last. If the courts and lawyers of this country will not do their duty, we shall watch as the victims and survivors of this man pursue justice and vindication in their own dignified and painstaking way, and at their own expense, and we shall be put to shame.
Christopher Hitchens
You are at enmity with yourself.
Genuine happiness can only be achieved when we transform our way of life from the unthinking pursuit of pleasure to one committed to enriching our inner lives, when we focus on 'being more' rather than simply having more.
Daisaku Ikeda
The great seal of truth is simplicity.
Herman Boerhaave
Putting someone down with name calling reveals your own low self-esteem.
Stephen Richards
Greed is all right, by the way I think greed is healthy. You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself.
Ivan F. Boesky
You cannot raise a man up by calling him down.
William J. H. Boetcker
We must have courage to bet on our ideas, to take the calculated risk, and to act. Everyday living requires courage if life is to be effective and bring happiness.
Maxwell Maltz
The more you learn what to do with yourself, and the more you do for others, the more you will learn to enjoy the abundant life.
Any work that's worth doing has its challenges as well as its opportunities. That's true if you're running a business, it's true if you're trying to help on a campaign.
Carly Fiorina
The intellectual is a middle-class product; if he is not born into the class he must soon insert himself into it, in order to exist. He is the fine nervous flower of the bourgeoisie.
Louise Bogan
As efforts to fix this failure at the Veterans Administration continue, I also intend to persist in demanding answers and action on the establishment of a new clinic to serve the veterans in North Central Washington.
Doc Hastings
Silence is deep as Eternity speech is shallow as Time.
Thomas Carlyle
Because language is the carrier of ideas, it is easy to believe that it should be very little else than such a carrier.
But childhood prolonged, cannot remain a fairyland. It becomes a hell.
Women have no wilderness in them. They are provident instead content in the tight hot cell of their hearts. To eat dusty bread.
perempuan belajar membenci dengan cara yang sama saat mereka--belajar melupakan cara memperdaya
Friedrich Nietzsche
I trust Winsor and Newton and I paint directly upon it.
Edward Hopper
The camera can photograph thought. It's better than a paragraph of sweet polemic.
Dirk Bogarde
The love of all-inclusiveness is as dangerous in philosophy as in art.
George Santayana
She got on with her education. In her opinion, school kept on trying to interfere with it.
Terry Pratchett
All you owe the public is a good performance.
Humphrey Bogart
He said it was better to belong where you don't belong than not to belong where you used to belong, remembering when you used to belong there.
War was never so careful as to inflict suffering only where it was merited.
Orson Scott Card
La molesse est douce, et sa suite est cruelle.
John Quincy Adams
Wherever the standard of freedom and independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her Americas heart, her benedictions and her prayers be. But she goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. She will recommend the general cause, by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant sympathy of her example. She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself, beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force. She might become the dictatress of the world: she would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit.
I wore my first pair of Louboutins during this press tour. It was absolutely amazing, they weren't heels, they were little shoes, but they were velvet and they were blue.
