Text Quotes
The strongest reason why we ask for woman a voice in the government under which she lives; in the religion she is asked to believe; equality in social life, where she is the chief factor; a place in the trades and professions, where she may earn her bread, is because of her birthright to self-sovereignty; because, as an individual, she must rely on herself (R B Quotes)
If Helen of Troy could have been seen eating peppermints out of a paper bag, it is highly probable that her admirers would have been an entirely different class. It is the thing you are found doing while the horde looks on that you shall be loved for - or ignored (R B Quotes)
Real freedom is to not feel limited when wearing this zen robe, this troublesome formal robe. Similarly, in our busy life we should wear this civilization without being bothered by it, without ignoring it, without being caught by it (R B Quotes)
I say that politics is the most important of the civil activities and has it's own field of action, which is not that of religion. Political institutions are secular by definition and operate in independent spheres (R B Quotes)
Most men, no matter how well or badly dressed, carry overstuffed, beat up wallets that should have been replaced years ago. Why is that? Every time I see a guy take out a wallet anywhere, it looks like a piece of old melted chocolate cake - with strings (R B Quotes)
If you've ever been part of a ministry that had it, you knew you were part of something special. In other words, you knew it when you saw it. and it was an awesome work of God that couldn't be contained, couldn't be harnessed, and couldn't be explained (R B Quotes)
Is there war in our religion? No; neither war nor bloodshed. Yet our enemies cry out bloodshed, and oh, what dreadful men these Mormons are, and those Danites! How they slay and kill! Such is all nonsense and folly in the extreme. The wicked slay the wicked, and they will lay it on the Saints (R B Quotes)
There is no social evil, no form of injustice whether of the feudal or the capitalist order which has not been sanctified in some way or other by religious sentiment and thereby rendered more impervious to change (R B Quotes)
The seed of a tree has the nature of a branch or twig or bud. It is a part of the tree, but if separated and set in the Earth to be better nourished, the embryo or young tree contained in it takes root and grows into a new tree (R B Quotes)
If you are affronted, it is better to pass it by in silence, or with a jest, though with some dishonor, than to endeavor revenge. If you can keep reason above passion, that and watchfulness will be your best defendants (R B Quotes)
It is said that as many days as there are in the whole journey, so many are the men and horses that stand along the road, each horse and man at the interval of a days journey; and these are stayed neither by snow nor rain nor heat nor darkness from accomplishing their appointed course with all speed (R B Quotes)
These 'messengers' will not be hindered from accomplishing at their best speed the distance which they have to go, either by snow, or rain, or heat, or by the darkness of night (R B Quotes)
One is a child when one has a child. No one says, 'You will never be the same again.' Which is the truth! and we're all supposed to be happy all the time. What is that about? (R B Quotes)
My discovery of the Life Energy is today widely known nearly all over the globe, in hundreds of institutions, whether acclaimed or cursed. It can no longer be stopped by anyone, no matter what happens to me (R B Quotes)
I remember one winter, when I was about five or six, I spent three days with another boy, tracking a bobcat that had been sighted in another county fifty miles away, but which I was sure had come into our neighborhood (R B Quotes)
Philosophy is not politics, and we do our best, within our all too human limitations, to seek the truth, not to score points against opponents. There is little satisfaction in gaining an easy triumph over a weak opponent while ignoring better arguments against your views (R B Quotes)
It is blasphemy to separate oneself from the Earth and look down on it like a God. It is more than blasphemy, it is dangerous. We can never be gods, after all - but we can become something less than human with frightening ease (R B Quotes)
If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a "peace conference," you can be sure his government has already placed it's orders for new battleships and airplanes (R B Quotes)
Seem to be rather backward and primitive people... They can be as faithful as a dog; that is one of the traits of the primitive. Our Chuvash were the same. The Russian tsars always used them for their bodyguards (R B Quotes)
The great liability of the engineer compared to men of other professions is that his works are out in the open where all can see them. His acts, step by step, are in hard substance. He cannot bury his mistakes in the grave like the doctors. He cannot argue them into thin air or blame the judge like the lawyers. He cannot, like the architects, cover his failures with trees and vines. He cannot, like the politicians, screen his sort-comings by blaming his opponents and hope the people will forget. The engineer simply cannot deny he did it. If his works do not work, he is damned (R B Quotes)
War! Some of the invalids break the silence, and say the word again under their breath, reflecting that this is the greatest happening of the age, and perhaps of all ages. Even on the lucid landscape at which they gaze the news casts something like a vague and somber mirage (R B Quotes)
The world gets older, without getting either better or worse and so does literature. But I do think that the drab current phenomenon that passes for literary studies in the university will finally provide it's own corrective (R B Quotes)
If you create something that is asking for people to respond as they're going to respond, you have to allow them to respond as they're going to respond. Some of the people are going to be uninterested and some people are going to be mad for some reason, which is their business. That's just the way the world is (R B Quotes)
We try to organize the world, which isn't organized the way our brains want to organize it. We tell stories about the people in our lives, we project ideas onto them. We project relationships with people, we make our lives into stories. I don't think we can avoid doing that (R B Quotes)
I feel angry that I can't be hypnotized. I'm not putting it down, and I'm not saying that it doesn't exist. I have talked to a great many people who are very good at it, but so far nobody has ever been able to hypnotize me (R B Quotes)
Some major writers have a huge impact, like Ayn Rand, who to my mind is a lousy fiction writer because her writing has no compassion and virtually no humor. She has a philosophical and economical message that she is passing off as fiction, but it really isn't fiction at all (R B Quotes)
Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing - where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger; which he knows he was meant and made to do (R B Quotes)
I am like a mariner born and bred on board a buccaneer brig whose soul has become so inured to storm and strife that if cast ashore he would weary and languish no matter how alluring the shady groves and how bright the gentle sun (R B Quotes)
In not more than a month's time terror will assume very violent forms, after the example of the great French Revolution; the guillotine... Will be ready for our enemies... That remarkable invention of the French Revolution which makes man shorter by a head (R B Quotes)
I feel guilty when people say I'm the greatest on the scene. What's good or bad doesn't matter to me; what does matter is feeling and not feeling. If only people would take more of a true view and think in terms of feelings. Your name doesn't mean a damn, it's your talents and feelings that matter. You've got to know much more than just the technicalities of notes; you've got to know what goes between the notes (R B Quotes)
