Smile from your heart; nothing is more beautiful than a woman who is happy to be herself.
Grace is savage and must be savage in order to be perfect.
Charles A. Stoddard
Mankind, when left to themselves, are unfit for their own government.
George Washington
You point your feet out too much when you walk, Will went on. He was busy polishing an apple on his shirtfront, and appeared not to notice Tessa glaring at him. Camille walks delicately. Like a faun in the woods. Not like a duckI do not walk like a duck.I like ducks, Jem observed diplomatically. Especially the ones in Hyde Park.
Cassandra Clare
Rapidity does not always mean progress, and hurry is akin to waste. The old fable of the hare and the tortoise is just as good now, and just as true, as when it was first written.
Duty has a trick of behaving unexpectedly -- something like a heavy friend whom we have amiably asked to visit us, and who breaks his leg within our gates.
George Eliot
We love in others what we lack in ourselves, and would be everything, but what we are.
Richard Henry Stoddard
It is of the nature of desire not to be satisfied, and most men live only for the gratification of it.
Aristotle
The reasons and purposes for habits are always lies that are added only after some people begin to attack these habits and to ask for reasons and purposes. At this point the conservatives of all ages are thoroughly dishonest: they add lies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Will not a tiny speck very close to our vision blot out the glory of the world, and leave only a margin by which we see the blot? I know no speck so troublesome as self.
By Time and Age full many things are taught.
Aeschylus
You have to create a track record of breaking your own mold, or at least other people's idea of that mold.
William Hurt
Sometimes I think we're alone. Sometimes I think we're not. In either case, the thought is staggering.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Wealth is the parent of luxury and indolence, and poverty of meanness and viciousness, and both of discontent.
Plato
Good bankers, like good tea, can only be appreciated when they are in hot water.
Jaffar Hussein
We should face reality and our past mistakes in an honest, adult way. Boasting of glory does not make glory, and singing in the dark does not dispel fear.
King Hussein
When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.
Paulo Coelho
Of course drugs were fun.
Anjelica Huston
My life should be unique; it should be an alms, a battle, a conquest, a medicine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the merit of a general to impart good news, and to conceal the truth.
Sophocles
Hollywood has always been a cage... a cage to catch our dreams.
John Huston
One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure.
William Feather
Talk to them about things they don't know. Try to give them an inferiority complex. If the actress is beautiful, screw her. If she isn't, present her with a valuable painting she will not understand. If they insist on being boring, kick their asses or twist their noses. And that's about all there is to it.
There is no greater reason for children to honour parents than for parents to honour children except, that while the children are young, the parents are stronger than children.
Bertrand Russell
After all, crime is only a left-handed form of human endeavor.
A writer and nothing else; a man alone in a room with the English language, trying to get human feelings right.
John K. Hutchens
The action is best that secures the greatest happiness for the greatest number.
Francis Hutcheson
Five exclamation marks, the sure sign of an insane mind.
Terry Pratchett
One of the reasons why the Ten Commandments are so short and to the point is the fact they were given direct and did not come out of committees.
H. G. Hutcheson
The sinews of war are five - men, money, materials, maintenance (food) and morale.
Ernest Hemingway
Security is the priceless product of freedom. Only the strong can be secure, and only in freedom can men produce those material resources which can secure them from want at home and against aggression from abroad.
B. E. Hutchinson
Then the voice - which identified itself as the prince of this world, the only being who really knows what happens on Earth - began to show him the people around him on the beach. The wonderful father who was busy packing things up and helping his children put on some warm clothes and who would love to have an affair with his secretary, but was terrified on his wife's response. His wife who would like to work and have her independence, but who was terrified of her husband's response. The children who behave themselves because they were terrified of being punished. The girl who was reading a book all on her own beneath the sunshade, pretending she didn't care, but inside was terrified of spending the rest of her life alone. The boy running around with a tennis racuqet , terrified of having to live up to his parents' expectations. The waiter serving tropical drinks to the rich customers and terrified that he could be sacket at any moment. The young girl who wanted to be a dance, but who was studying law instead because she was terrified of what the neighbours might say. The old man who didn't smoke or drink and said he felt much better for it, when in truth it was the terror of death what whispered in his ears like the wind. The married couple who ran by, splashing through the surf, with a smile on their face but with a terror in their hearts telling them that they would soon be old, boring and useless. The man with the suntan who swept up in his launch in front of everybody and waved and smiled, but was terrified because he could lose all his money from one moment to the next. The hotel owner, watching the whole idyllic scene from his office, trying to keep everyone happy and cheerful, urging his accountants to ever greater vigilance, and terrified because he knew that however honest he was government officials would still find mistakes in his accounts if they wanted to. There was terror in each and every one of the people on that beautiful beach and on that breathtakingly beautiful evening. Terror of being alone,
For every pass I caught in a game, I caught a thousand in practice.
Don Hutson
As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.
John Lennon
Nothing would improve newspaper criticism so much as the knowledge that it was to be read by men too hardy to acquiesce in the authoritative statement of the reviewer.
R. H. Hutton
Jem and Will had set up camp on one of the long tables in the back of the library, ostensibly to help advise her, but more likely, it seemed, to mock and be amused by her consternation. You point your feet out too much when you walk, Will went on. He was busy polishing an apple on his shirtfront, and appeared not to notice Tessa glaring at him. Camille walks delicately. Like a faun in the woods. Not like a duck. I do not walk like a duck. I like ducks, Jem observed diplomatically. Especially the ones in Hyde Park. He glanced sideways at Will; both boys were sitting on the edge of the high table, their legs dangling over the side. Remember when you tried to convince me to feed a poultry pie to the mallards in the park to see if you could breed a race of cannibal ducks? They ate it too, Will reminisced. Bloodthirsty little beasts. Never trust a duck.
In an age of unscrupulous and shameless book-making, it is a duty to give notice of the rubbish that cumbers the ground. There is no credit, no real power required for this task. It is the work of an intellectual scavenger, and far from being specially honorable.
The charity that hastens to proclaim its good deeds, ceases to be charity, and is only pride and ostentation.
William Hutton
Only man is not content to leave things as they are but must always be changing them, and when he has done so, is seldom satisfied with the result.
Elspeth Huxley
We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.
Abraham Lincoln
Sooner or later, false thinking brings wrong conduct.
Julian S. Huxley
