The sedentary life...is the real sin against the holy spirit.
The woman who thinks she is intelligent demands equal rights with men. A woman who is intelligent does not.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
As a woman who has some sort of power, you have to have a man that can take that. It's hard to find those men.
Jessica Simpson
Jealousy is not at all low, but it catches us humbled and bowed down, at first sight.
Shall we never have done with that cliche, so stupid that it could only be human, about the sympathy of animals for man when he is unhappy? Animals love happiness almost as much as we do. A fit of crying disturbs them, they'll sometimes imitate sobbing, and for a moment they'll reflect our sadness. But they flee unhappiness as they flee fever, and I believe that in the long run they are capable of boycotting it.
The United States has done more for the war crimes tribunal than any other country in the world. We're turning over all the information we have, including intelligence information.
Warren Christopher
The measure of a master is his success in bringing all men round to his opinion twenty years later.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A pretty little collection of weaknesses and a terror of spiders are our indispensable stock-in-trade with the men.
Among all the modernized aspects of the most luxurious of industries, the model, a vestige of voluptuous barbarianism, is like some plunder-laden prey. She is the object of unbridled regard, a living bait, the passive realization of an ideal. No other female occupation contains such potent impulses to moral disintegration as this one, applying as it does the outward signs of riches to a poor and beautiful girl.
I don't think, until the end, I had read a positive review of Boy Meets World.
Will Friedle
I was a vegetarian until I started leaning toward the sunlight.
Rita Rudner
Look for a long time at what pleases you, and a longer time at what pains you.
To a poet, silence is an acceptable response, even a flattering one.
I have run large organizations, I know what it takes to create a healthy business climate, and I have more experience than Jerry Brown doing that. So it'll be a stark contrast, a career politician vs. someone who has met a payroll, gotten a return on investment, knows how to use technology to do more with less.
Meg Whitman
Researchers, with science as their authority, will be able to cut Animals up, alive, into small pieces, drop them from a great height to see if they are shattered by the fall, or deprive them of sleep for sixteen days and nights continuously for the purposes of an iniquitous monograph... Animal trust, undeserved faith, when at last will you turn away from us? Shall we never tire of deceiving, betraying, tormenting animals before they cease to trust us?
Sincerity is not a spontaneous flower nor is modesty either.
Smokers, male and female, inject and excuse idleness in their lives every time they light a cigarette.
There's no doubt that scientific training helps many authors to write better science fiction. And yet, several of the very best were English majors who could not parse a differential equation to save their lives.
David Brin
Is suffering so very serious? I have come to doubt it. It may be quite childish, a sort of undignified pastime -- I'm referring to the kind of suffering a man inflicts on a woman or a woman on a man. It's extremely painful. I agree that it's hardly bearable. But I very much fear that this sort of pain deserves no consideration at all. It's no more worthy of respect than old age or illness.
Children can write poetry and then, unless they're poets, they stop when reach puberty.
Dennis Potter
My mom calls me an older soul because, growing up, she taught me stuff real early. Now I spend most of my time chasing wisdom, chasing understanding.
Ray Lewis
A man must drive his energy, not be driven by it.
William Frederick Book
The way to push things through to a finish effectively must be learned.
That big muscular frame of his held plenty of animal courage, but helped him to no decision when the dangers to be braved were such as could neither be knocked down nor throttled.
George Eliot
I grew up watching all these crazy movies, European movies and stuff, and I guess that I always laughed at things that were a little more offbeat.
Louis C. K.
Advice is the smallest current coin.
Ambrose Bierce
Money can only give happiness where there is nothing else to give it.
Jane Austen
I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry.
Fear always springsfrom ignorance.
All history has been a history of class struggles between dominated classes at various stages of social development.
Friedrich Engels
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
Albert Einstein
War is good when good survives and evil is crushed. If you don't crush evil then evil will get you.
Ted Nugent
...I know it's hard when you're up to your armpits in alligators to remember you came here to drain the swamp. (February 10, 1982)
Ronald Reagan
With regard to future bliss, I cannot help imagining that multitudes of the zealously orthodox of different sects, who at the last day may flock together in hopes of seeing each other damned, will be disappointed, and obliged to rest content With the
Benjamin Franklin
When every hope is gone, 'when helpers fail and comforts flee,' I find that help arrives somehow, from I know not where. Supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition; they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking. It is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal.
Mahatma Gandhi
The hardships that I encountered in the past will help me succeed in the future.
Philip Emeagwali
I was never interested in 'Teen Beat' like roles. I just wanted to work.
Jared Leto
In a forest of a hundred thousand trees, no two leaves are alike. And no two journeys along the same path are alike.
Paulo Coelho
You know, my family and friends have never been yes-men: 'Yes, you're doing the right thing, you're always right.' No, they tell me when I'm wrong, and that's why I've been able to stay who I am and stay humble.
LeBron James
Your mind, while blessed with permanent memory, is cursed with lousy recall. Written goals provide clarity. By documenting your dreams, you must think about the process of achieving them.
Gary Ryan Blair
In high school I dated a white woman. She would come to visit me on the rez. And her dad, who was very racist, didn't like that at all. And he told her one time, 'You shouldn't go on the rez if you're white because Indians have a lot of anger in their heart.'
