Against Quotes

If our education had included training to bear unpleasantness and to let the first shock pass until we could think more calmly, many an unbearable situation would become manageable, and many a nervous illness avoided.

False ideals cannot be shattered by criticism. Right ideals must take up the battle against them Picture Quote #1

Virtue dwells at the head of a river, to which we cannot get but by rowing against the stream Picture Quote #1

Violence never settles anything right: apart from injuring your own soul, it injures the best cause. It lingers on long after the object of hate has disappeared from the scene to plague the lives of those who have employed it against their foes Picture Quote #1

There are dreadful punishments enacted against thieves, but it were much better to make such good provisions by which every man might be put in a method how to live, and so be preserved from the fatal necessity of stealing and of dying for it Picture Quote #1

Silence holds the door against the strife of tongue and all the impertinences of idle conversation Picture Quote #1

Had it been published by a voice from heaven, that twelve poor men, taken out of boats and creeks, without any help of learning, should conquer the world to the cross, it might have been thought an illusion against all reason of men; yet we know it was undertaken and accomplished by them Picture Quote #1

Because the idea of zombies seems to make sense, and seems to, in a certain sense, be possible, I think one can use that to argue against the thesis that everything is purely physical. Now many people, I think, agree that the idea of zombies are conceivable, including people who want to be physicalists Picture Quote #1

Can I say that I think it should be against the law for one state to use taxpayer money to try to bribe businesses in another state to move? Which then causes the target state to use taxpayer dollars to try to bribe the businesses to stay Picture Quote #1

If you live in a place that you perceive to be a crowded place, you appreciate government; you see it as this thing that protects you against crime, that keeps order, that makes sure that nobody puts a massage parlor next to your house, that keeps other people’s dogs from pooping on the sidewalk Picture Quote #1

I can tell you for sure: people who are at their peak right now will not sustain that. You can’t. It’s against the law of nature Picture Quote #1

So what exactly are the rewards of resentment. It is always a relief to know that the reason we have failed in life is not because we lack the talent, energy, or determination to succeed, but because of a factor that is beyond our control and that has loaded the dice decisively against us Picture Quote #1

I remember rap music. We used to party and dance off of it. Today it’s all about a whole different angle... Rappers are going against each other, and it’s more of a bragging, boasting thing Picture Quote #1

My religious point of view is something I can’t talk about. It goes against my belief system to talk publicly about my own spiritual beliefs Picture Quote #1

I’m not violent, I don’t believe in killing people, but standing up for yourself, speaking out against injustice, is another form of vengeance Picture Quote #1

Each time a new war is disclosed in the name of the fight of the good against evil, those who are killed are all poor. It’s always the same story repeating once and again and again Picture Quote #1

I think I have my own sort of distinctive swing, for sure. I think that’s something that comes really natural to me, to push against the beat and kind of explore a triplet feel behind everything just to see what that feels like Picture Quote #1

Pay no heed to those who tell you that they have relinquished place and power of their own accord, and from their love of quiet. For almost always they have been brought to this retirement by their insufficiency and against their will Picture Quote #1

Baseball is a spirited race of man against man, reflex against reflex. A game of inches. Every skill is measured. Every heroic, every failing is seen and cheered, or booed. And then becomes a statistic Picture Quote #1

I have always been very rebellious and gone against the grain. I’ve always challenged the standards set before me Picture Quote #1

Punk was a protest against work and against boredom. It was a sign of life, a rant, a scream, a rejection of bourgeois morals. But have things improved since then? Arguably, they’ve got worse Picture Quote #1
