As a great part of the uneasiness of matrimony arises from mere trifles,, it would be wise in every young married man to enter into an agreement with his wife, that in all disputes of this kind the party who was most convinced they were right should always surrender the victory. By which means both would be more forward to give up the cause (Mere Quotes)

Whatever we read from intense curiosity gives us the model of how we should always read. Plodding along page after page with an equal attention to each word results in attention to mere words (Mere Quotes)
You must not become a mere peddler of words. The thing to learn is to know what people are thinking about, not what they say (Mere Quotes)
Form is sometimes considered a mere spice added by the artist to the representation of objects in order to make it pleasurable (Mere Quotes)
Collecting at its best is very far from mere acquisitiveness; it may become one of the most humanistic of occupations, seeking to illustrate by the assembling of significant reliques, the march of the human spirit in its quest for beauty (Mere Quotes)
We pride ourselves on being the only species that understands the concept of risk, yet we have a confounding habit of worrying about mere possibilities while ignoring probabilities, building barricades against perceived dangers while leaving ourselves exposed to real ones (Mere Quotes)
Minute and elaborately finished pictures never strongly impress the mind, and are but mere curiosities to gratify persons insensible to higher excellencies (Mere Quotes)
Maybe this is a utopian view of art but I do believe that art can function as a vehicle, that it isn’t just a cultural pursuit, something that happens in art galleries. Unless art is linked to experience and the fear and joy of that, it becomes mere icing on the cake (Mere Quotes)
If you stumble at mere believability, what are you living for? Isn’t love hard to believe? (Mere Quotes)
The man of great wealth owes a peculiar obligation to the state because he derives special advantages from the mere existence of government (Mere Quotes)
Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. The joy and moral stimulation of work must no longer be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits (Mere Quotes)
... not mere achievement, but rather the more difficult feat of handling your life efficiently. It means to be a success as a person; controlled, organized, not part of the world’s problems, but part of its cure.... of being creative individuals (Mere Quotes)
