Original Quotes

All human laws are, properly speaking, only declaratory; they have no power over the substance of original justice Picture Quote #1

Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous - to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd Picture Quote #1

I began to realize how simple life could be if one had a regular routine to follow with fixed hours, a fixed salary, and very little original thinking to do Picture Quote #1

We tend to think of politics as bad, full of dirty tricks, negative ads, big campaigns, but I am here to explore the original meaning of politics, which is positive and has to do with balancing competing interests and looking for solutions Picture Quote #1

Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private Picture Quote #1

Disobedience, in the eyes of any one who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion Picture Quote #1

I think the government should do everything they possibly can to, to bring this crisis to an end; and that means going after BP, enforcing the laws that are on the books, and restoring the gulf to it's original condition Picture Quote #1

Labour was the first price, the original purchase - money that was paid for all things. It was not by gold or by silver, but by labour, that all wealth of the world was originally purchased Picture Quote #1

Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean, you will never be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world Picture Quote #1

Humanity takes itself too seriously. It is the world's original sin. If the caveman had known how to laugh, the world would have been different Picture Quote #1

Rich men's houses are seldom beautiful, rarely comfortable, and never original. It is a constant source of surprise to people of moderate means to observe how little a big fortune contributes to beauty Picture Quote #1

Mysticism, poor mysticism! When it is underestimated and oversimplified, it comes down from it's original sphere and stands beside religion Picture Quote #1

As an individual who undertakes to live by borrowing, soon finds his original means devoured by interest, and next no one left to borrow from, so must it be with a government Picture Quote #1

Writing itself is a bad enough trade, rightly held up to ridicule and contempt by the greater part of mankind, and especially by those who do real work, plowing, riding, sailing - or even walking about. It is a sound instinct in men to feel this distrust and contempt for writing; and as for writing about writing, why, it is writing squared; it is writing to the second power, in which the original evil is concentrated Picture Quote #1

In regard to the tune, we have a name in the studio, and we call it the 'MacGuffin.' It is the mechanical element that usually crops up in any story. In crook stories it is always the necklace and in spy stories it is always the papers. We just try to be a little more original Picture Quote #1

Try now to answer my third riddle. By what rule to you tell a copy from an original? Picture Quote #1

I have begun to think of life as a series of ripples widening out from an original center Picture Quote #1

And obviously, when I started out, I had a little bit more curiosity than some, and went seeking out the original artists, or in some cases searching up country music Picture Quote #1

The thing done avails, and not what is said about it. An original sentence, a step forward, is worth more than all the censures Picture Quote #1

Genius borrows nobly. When Shakespeare is charged with debts to his authors, landor replies: Yet he was more original than his originals. He breathed upon dead bodies and brought them into life Picture Quote #1

This gives force to the strong - that the multitude have no habit of self-reliance or original action Picture Quote #1

We sometimes meet an original gentleman, who, if manners had not existed, would have invented them Picture Quote #1

God knows that all sorts of gentlemen knock at the door; but whenever used in strictness and with any emphasis, the name will be found to point at original energy Picture Quote #1

Truths are known to us in two ways: some are known directly, and of themselves; some through the medium of other truths. The former are the subject of intuition, or consciousness; the latter, of inference; the latter of inference. The truths known by intuition are the original premisses, from which all others are inferred Picture Quote #1

Then came the second Amsterdam discovery, although the principle was known elsewhere. Bank deposits...did not need to be left idly in the bank. They could be lent. The bank then got interest. The borrower then had a deposit that he could spend. But the original deposit still stood to the credit of the original depositor. That too could be spent. Money, spendable money, had been created. Let no one rub his or her eyes. It's still being done - every day. The creation of money by a bank is as simple as this, so simple, I've often said, that the mind is slightly repelled Picture Quote #1

These are the days when men of all social disciplines and all political faiths seek the comfortable and the accepted; when the man of controversy is looked upon as a disturbing influence; when originality is taken to be a mark of instability; and when, in minor modification of the original parable, the bland lead the bland Picture Quote #1

The shortcomings of economics are not original error but uncorrected obsolescence. The obsolescence has occurred because what is convenient has become sacrosanct. Anyone who attacks such ideas must seem to be a trifle self-confident and even aggressive. The man who makes his entry by leaning against an infirm door gets an unjustified reputation for violence. Something is to be attributed to the poor state of the door Picture Quote #1

What is most original in a man's nature is often that which is most desperate. Thus new systems are forced on the world by men who simply cannot bear the pain of living with what is. Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique. If Hitler had been born in Nazi Germany he wouldn't have been content to enjoy the atmosphere Picture Quote #1

In the original draft I was 27 and Peter was 55 in the script. That's not the same as a guy in his 40s and a dad in the end of his 70s. It's a different point in both our lives Picture Quote #1
