The squeaking wheel doesn't always get the grease. Sometimes it gets replaced.
To be sure an European woman would blush to her fingers ends at the very idea of appearing publicly stark naked; but education and prejudice are everything, since it is an axiom, that where there is no feeling of self-reproach, there can assuredly be no shame.
Captain J. G. Stedman
Poetry is an art, the easiest to dabble in, but the hardest to reach true excellence.
During the crusades all were religious mad, and now all are mad for want of it.
Such indeed is the superior longevity of the fair females of Surinam, compared to that of the males (owing chiefly, as I said, to their excesses of all sorts) that I have frequently known wives who have buried four husbands, but never met a man in this country who had survived two wives.
You don't resign from these jobs, you escape from them.
Dawn Steel
I cannot think of any character below the flatterer, except he who envies him.
Sir Richard Steele
The fool within himself is the object of pity, until he is flattered.
A healthy old fellow, who is not a fool, is the happiest creature living.
That man never grows old who keeps a child in his heart.
Fire and swords are slow engines of destruction, compared to the tongue of a Gossip.
A little in drink, but at all times your faithful husband.
The insupportable labor of doing nothing.
Simplicity of all things is the hardest to be copy.
The marriage state, with and without the affection suitable to it, is the completest image of Heaven and Hell we are capable of receiving in this life.
Nothing can atone for the lack of modesty; without which beauty is ungraceful and wit detestable.
Praise from an enemy is the most pleasing of all commendations.
I know of no manner of speaking so offensive as that of giving praise, and closing it with an exception.
Zeal for the public good is the characteristic of a man of honor and a gentleman, and must take the place of pleasures, profits and all other private gratification.
To give pain is the tyranny; to make happy, the true empire of beauty.
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. It is wholesome and bracing for the mind to have its faculties kept on the stretch.
To behold her is an immediate check to loose behavior; to love her is a liberal education.
Show business is really 90 per cent luck and 10 per cent being able to handle it when it gets offered to you.
Tommy Steele
Do not think that what your thoughts dwell upon is of no matter. Your thoughts are making you.
Bishop Steere
I remember when I was in school, they would ask, What are you going to be when you grow up? and then you'd have to draw a picture of it. I drew a picture of myself as a bride.
Gwen Stefani
Power is what men seek and any group that gets it will abuse it.
Lincoln Steffens
Somebody must take a chance. The monkeys who became men, and the monkeys who didn't are still jumping around in trees making faces at the monkeys who did.
So youve been over into Russia? said Bernard Baruch, and I answered very literally, I have been over into the future and it works.
That what is true of business and politics is gloriously true of the professions, the arts and crafts, the sciences, the sports. That the best picture has not yet been painted; the greatest poem is still unsung; the mightiest novel remains to be written; the divinest music has not been conceived even by Bach. In science, probably ninety-nine percent of the knowable has to be discovered. We know only a few streaks about astronomy. We are only beginning to imagine the force and composition of the atom. Physics has not yet found any indivisible matter, or psychology a sensible soul.
To succeed at the level I want to you have to be focused and serious.
Kent Steffes
Everything in moderation -- including moderation.
Harvey Steiman
The wise man questions the wisdom of others because he questions his own, the foolish man, because it is different from his own.
Leo Stein
A woman who takes things from a man is called a girlfriend, a man who takes things from a woman is called a gigolo.
Ruthie Stein
The life of the creative man is lead, directed and controlled by boredom. Avoiding boredom is one of our most important purposes.
Saul Steinberg
Love wholeheartedly, be surprised, give thanks and praise then you will discover the fullness of your life.
David SteindlRast
For women... bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can't possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman's body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique.
Gloria Steinem
The family is the basic cell of government: it is where we are trained to believe that we are human beings or that we are chattel, it is where we are trained to see the sex and race divisions and become callous to injustice even if it is done to ourselves, to accept as biological a full system of authoritarian government.
Happy or unhappy, families are all mysterious. We have only to imagine how differently we would be described --and will be, after our deaths --by each of the family members who believe they know us.
A liberated woman is one who has sex before marriage and a job after.
The greatest events occur without intention playing any part in them; chance makes good mistakes and undoes the most carefully planned undertaking. The world's greatest events are not produced, they happen.
G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb
If all else fails, the character of a man can be recognized by nothing so surely as by a jest which he takes badly.
