People who love only once in their lives are... Shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination Picture Quote #1

The isolation of every human soul and the necessity of self-dependence must give each individual the right, to choose his own surroundings. The strongest reason for giving woman all the opportunities for higher education, for the full development of her faculties, her forces of mind and body; for giving her the most enlarged freedom of thought and action; a complete emancipation from all forms of bondage, of custom, dependence, superstition; from all the crippling influences of fear, is the solitude and personal responsibility of her own individual life Picture Quote #1

Is all literature eavesdropping, and all art Chinese imitation? Our life a custom, and our body borrowed, like a beggar's dinner, from a hundred charities? Picture Quote #1

In this age, the mere example of nonconformity, the mere refusal to bend the knee to custom, is itself a service Picture Quote #1

The human faculties of perception, judgment, discriminative feeling, mental activity, and even moral preference, are exercised only in making a choice. He who does anything because it is the custom, makes no choice Picture Quote #1

Slavery, if it can be legalized at all, can be legalized only by positive legislation. Natural law gives it no aid. Custom imparts to it no legal sanction Picture Quote #1

The custom of frequent reflection will keep their minds from running adrift, and call their thoughts home from useless unattentive roving Picture Quote #1

Ignorance and a narrow education lay the foundation of vice, and imitation and custom rear it up Picture Quote #1

Consistency is found in that work whose whole and detail are suitable to the occasion. It arises from circumstance, custom, and nature Picture Quote #1

This means that they are bound by law and custom to plough the fields of their masters, harvest the corn, gather it into barns, and thresh and winnow the grain; they must also mow and carry home the hay, cut and collect wood, and perform all manner of tasks of this kind Picture Quote #1

If you wish to draw off the people from a bad or wicked custom, you must beat up for a march; you must make an excitement, do something that everybody will notice Picture Quote #1

It has been generally the custom of writers on natural history to take the habits and instincts of animals as the fixed point, and to consider their structure and organization as specially adapted to be in accordance with them Picture Quote #1

Be not so bigoted to any custom as to worship it at the expense of truth Picture Quote #1

There is no conceivable human action which custom has not at one time justified and at another condemned Picture Quote #1

It is science alone that can solve the problems of hunger and poverty, of insanitation and illiteracy, of superstition and deadening custom and tradition, of vast resources running to waste, or a rich country inhabited by starving people... Who indeed could afford to ignore science today? At every turn we have to seek its aid... The future belongs to science and those who make friends with science Picture Quote #1

There is not much talking now. A silence falls upon them all. This is no time to talk of hedges and fields, or the beauties of any country. Sadness and fear and hate, how they well up in the heart and mind, whenever one opens pages of these messengers of doom. Cry for the broken tribe, for the law and the custom that is gone. Aye, and cry aloud for the man who is dead, for the woman and children bereaved. Cry, the beloved country, these things are not yet at an end. The sun pours down on the earth, on the lovely land that man cannot enjoy. He knows only the fear of his heart Picture Quote #1

.., by universal custom, your enemy is never more polite than when he is planning or has planned your destruction Picture Quote #1
