Fatal Quotes

For entrepreneurs, ignorance is not bliss. It’s fatal. It’s costly. And it’s for losers. You either get organized, or get crushed Picture Quote #1

Moderation is a fatal thing. Enough is as bad as a meal. More than enough is as good as a feast Picture Quote #1

We labor under the fatal delusion that no disease can be cured without medicine. This has been responsible for more mischief to mankind than any other evil... Disease increases in proportion to the increase to the number of doctors in a place Picture Quote #1

The next step may be fatal to us. Let us then act like wise men, calmly look around us and consider what is best to be done... Let associations and combinations be everywhere set up to consult and recover our just rights Picture Quote #1

The writer can grow as a person or he can shrink... His curiosity, his reaction to life must not diminish. The fatal thing is to shrink, to be interested in less, sympathetic to less, desiccating to the point where life itself loses its flavor, and one’s passion for human understanding changes to weariness and distaste Picture Quote #1

Words, as is well known, are the great foes of reality. I have been for many years a teacher of languages. It is an occupation which at length becomes fatal to whatever share of imagination, observation, and insight an ordinary person may be heir to. To a teacher of languages there comes a time when the world is but a place of many words and man appears a mere talking animal not much more wonderful than a parrot Picture Quote #1

Judges... are picked out from the most dextrous lawyers, who are grown old or lazy, and having been biased all their lives against truth or equity, are under such a fatal necessity of favoring fraud, perjury and oppression, that I have known several of them to refuse a large bribe from the side where justice lay, rather than injure the faculty by doing any thing unbecoming their nature in office Picture Quote #1

For a moment he felt a wild hope: perhaps this really was a nightmare. Perhaps he would awake in his own bed, bathed in sweat, shaking, maybe even crying... but alive. Safe. Then he pushed the thought away. Its charm was deadly, its comfort fatal Picture Quote #1

The heart was a weak, changeable thing, bent on nothing but love, and there could be no more fatal mistake than to make it your master. Reason must be in charge. It comforted you for the heart’s foolishness, it sang mocking songs about love, derided it as a whim of nature, transient as flowers. So why did she still keep following her heart? Picture Quote #1

Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by the removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease, like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages. It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient Picture Quote #1

Were not the disadvantages of slavery too obvious to stand in need of it, I might enumerate and describe the tedious train of calamities inseparable from it. I might show that it is fatal to religion and morality; that it tends to debase the mind, and corrupt its noblest springs of action. I might show that it relaxes the sinews of industry, clips the wings of commerce, and introduces misery and indigence in every shape Picture Quote #1

The most fatal illusion is the narrow point of view. Since life is growth and motion, a fixed point of view kills anybody who has one Picture Quote #1

Time’s fatal wings do ever forward fly; to every day we live, a day we die Picture Quote #1

Nothing beats a haunted moonlit night on All Hallows Eve... And on this fatal night, at this witching time, the starless sky laments black and unmoving. The somber hues of an ominous, dark forest are suddenly illuminated under the emerging face of the full moon Picture Quote #1

Tact is one of the first mental virtues, the absence of it is fatal to the best talent Picture Quote #1

It is a grave matter to enter a war, without adequate military preparation; it may prove fatal to come into peace, without moral and religious preparation Picture Quote #1

It is as fatal as it is cowardly to blink facts because they are not to our taste Picture Quote #1

Democracy is fatal for the arts; it leads only to chaos or the achievement of new and lower common denominators of quality Picture Quote #1

Television is a golden goose that lays scrambled eggs; and it is futile and probably fatal to beat it for not laying caviar. Anyway, more people like scrambled eggs than caviar Picture Quote #1

To me, failure is not fatal unless you quit; getting knocked down is not embarrassing unless you allow it to keep you down Picture Quote #1
