Dio Quotes

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious Picture Quote #1

I made a series of wrong decisions about moderately recent books, and I've sold the rights to studios for ridiculous amounts of money and the films have never been made. That's the saddest thing of all, because they're locked up and no one else can make them Picture Quote #1

C being what it is lacks support for multiple return values, so the notion that it is meaningful to pass pointers to memory objects into which any random function may write random values without having a clue where they point, has not been debunked as the sheer idiocy it really is Picture Quote #1

The usual is always mediocre. When nature takes it into her head to make a man, she fits him with her own equipment and educates him in her own school Picture Quote #1

Folks, the most insidious part of this whole health care scheme is that all of these vast medical expenditures will become nothing more than government budget items. We individuals will no longer exist. The relationship between a government and citizen will change forever Picture Quote #1

Surely a long life must be somewhat tedious, since we are forced to call in so many trifling things to help rid us of our time, which will never return Picture Quote #1

What is grand is necessarily obscure to weak men. That which can be made explicit to the idiot is not worth my care Picture Quote #1

There is one thing that matters, to set a chime of words tinkling in the minds of a few fastidious people Picture Quote #1

Degrade first the arts if you'd mankind degrade, Hire idiots to paint with cold light and hot shade Picture Quote #1

A grocer is attracted to his business by a magnetic force as great as the repulsion which renders it odious to artists Picture Quote #1

Golf appeals to the idiot in us and the child. Just how childlike golf players become is proven by their frequent inability to count past five Picture Quote #1

Every day is important for us because it is a day ordained by God. If we are bored with life there is something wrong with our concept of God and His involvement in our daily lives. Even the most dull and tedious days of our lives are ordained by God and ought to be used by us to glorify Him Picture Quote #1

Within your own generation - the same songs, the same wars, the same attitudes toward those wars, the same rules and radio shows in the air - you can gauge the possibilities and impossibilities. With a person of another generation, you are treading water, playing with fire Picture Quote #1

I mean you well, Perses, you great idiot, and I will tell you. Look, badness is easy to have, you can take it by handfuls without effort. The road that way is smooth and starts here beside you. But between us and virtue the immortals have put what will make us sweat. The road to virtue is long and goes steep up hill, hard climbing at first, but the last of it, when you get to the summit (if you get there) is easy going after the hard part Picture Quote #1

Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly Picture Quote #1

Reading is a choice. The will to do depends the reader. We may or may not do it but when we kill reading, we kill a purposeful mind. Reading a page of a purposeful book per day is not only a great medicine to the mind but also a powerful antidote to ignorance and mediocrity Picture Quote #1

There exist words of mediocrity, songs of mediocrity, and life lessons of mediocrity. Advice of mediocrity, books of mediocrity and companions of mediocrity also are available. One may also meet songs of purpose that make us ponder to wonder, advice filled with authority to dare. We may also hear life lessons that can challenge and change us. What do you listen to? If what you listen to will not make you, it will mar you Picture Quote #1

Comparing ourselves instead of taking lessons from ourselves is not only a catalyst to diminishing our true purpose but also a great ingredient to thinking negative and staying in mediocrity Picture Quote #1

The writer does not dare dream of giving the best of his individuality. No, he must never express his anger. The vacillating demands of mediocrity must be satisfied. Amuse the people, be their clown, give them platitudes about which they can laugh, shadows of truth which they can hold as truths Picture Quote #1

Reading all kinds of books, in whatever format you choose - electronic or printed or audio - is the grandest entertainment, and also is how you take part in the human conversation Picture Quote #1

England has the most sordid literary scene I've ever seen. They all meet in the same pub. This guy's writing a foreword for this person. They all have to give radio programs, they have to do all this just to scrape by. They're all scratching each other's backs Picture Quote #1

We gain nothing by being with such as ourselves. We encourage one another in mediocrity. I am always longing to be with men more excellent than myself Picture Quote #1

Books are the most powerful tool in the human arsenal, that reading all kinds of books, in whatever format you choose - electronic (even though that wasn't for her) or printed, or audio - is the grandest entertainment, and also is how you take part in human conversation Picture Quote #1

A poor relation - is the most irrelevant thing in nature, - a piece of impertinent correspondency, - an odious approximation, - a haunting conscience, - a preposterous shadow, lengthening in the noontide of our prosperity Picture Quote #1

We are nothing; less than nothing, and dreams. We are only what might have been, and must wait upon the tedious shores of Lethe millions of ages before we have existence, and a name Picture Quote #1

Mediocrity, I discovered, was the great camouflage; the great protective coloring. Those boys who did not fail, yet did not excel, were left alone, free of the demands of the master who might wish to groom them for glory and of the school bully who might make them his scapegoat Picture Quote #1
