Rule Quotes

There is a rule for fantasy writers: The more truth you mix in with a lie, the stronger it gets Picture Quote #1

If you don’t pray often, you won’t gain a love for praying. Prayer is work, and therefore it is not very appealing to our natural sensibilities. But the simple rule for prayer is this: Begin praying and your taste for prayer will increase. The more you pray, the more you will acquire the desire for prayer, the energy for prayer, and the sense of purpose in prayer Picture Quote #1

Jude’s rule number five: Never get to close to anyone or anything that you can’t walk away at a moment’s notice if you have to. When you have to Picture Quote #1

Rule number one: Always stick around for one more drink. That’s when things happen. That’s when you find out everything you want to know Picture Quote #1

The inability to envision a certain kind of person doing a certain kind of thing because you’ve never seen someone who looks like him do it before is not just a vice. It’s a luxury. What begins as a failure of the imagination ends as a market inefficiency: when you rule out an entire class of people from doing a job simply by their appearance, you are less likely to find the best person for the job Picture Quote #1

And sometimes in life, I imagine, good things do happen. Most of the time, it’s the opposite, obviously. But I don’t think you should rule out the possibility that just occasionally chance might deal you a good card Picture Quote #1

Your actions are your own. Your choices are your own. Each of us carries a burden of guilt for decisions made or not made. You can let that rule your whole life or you can put it behind you and move on. Only a madman lets jealousy determine the course of his existence. Only a weak man blames others for his own errors Picture Quote #1

This book is dedicated to the rule breakers, the troublemakers, and the revolutionaries. Sometimes the hand that feeds you needs a good bite Picture Quote #1

I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk Picture Quote #1

The first rule about a black woman’s hair is you don’t talk about a black woman’s hair. And the second rule is you don’t ever touch a black woman’s hair without getting written permission first Picture Quote #1

I try to write a certain amount each day, five days a week. A rule sometimes broken is better than no rule Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to rule the universe. I just think it could be more sensibly organised Picture Quote #1

Whether it’s chocolate or socks, the rule is the same; the darker the better Picture Quote #1

I have not been able to find a single useful institution which has not been founded either by an intensely religious man or by the son of a praying father or a praying mother. I have made the statement before the chambers of commerce of all the largest cities of the country and have asked them to bring forward a case that is an exception to this rule. Thus far, I have not heard of a single one Picture Quote #1

As a rule, the most dangerous ideas are not the ones that divide people but those on which they agree Picture Quote #1

As a rule, dictatorships guarantee safe streets and terror of the doorbell. In democracy the streets may be unsafe after dark, but the most likely visitor in the early hours will be the milkman Picture Quote #1

To rule by fettering the mind through fear of punishment in another world is just as base as to use force Picture Quote #1

As a rule, prayer is answered and funds come in, but if we are kept waiting, the spiritual blessing that is the outcome is far mar precious than exemption from the trial Picture Quote #1

One rule I had was make your best pitch and back up third base. That relay might get away and you’ve got another shot at him Picture Quote #1

I am an anarchist! Wherefore I will not rule and also ruled I will not be Picture Quote #1

Persons drinking coffee, as a general rule, eat less, though coffee, and also tea, have little direct food value; but they retard the waste of the tissues, and so take the place of food Picture Quote #1

When the institutions of money rule the world, it is perhaps inevitable that the interests of money will take precedence over the interests of people. What we are experiencing might best be described as a case of money colonizing life. To accept this absurd distortion of human institutions and purpose should be considered nothing less than an act of collective, suicidal insanity Picture Quote #1

We have a simple rule for switching. Anytime there is movement over the top of a screen, there has to be an automatic switch. If a blind pick is set on one of our defensive players, there has to be a switch. To play good pressure defense, you have to use the switch Picture Quote #1

As a rule of thumb, if the government wants you to know it, it probably isn’t true Picture Quote #1

The trouble with military rule is that every colonel or general is soon full of ambition. The navy takes over today and the army tomorrow Picture Quote #1

The real trouble with the writing game is that no general rule can be worked out for uniform guidance, and this applies to sales as well as to writing Picture Quote #1

Arbitrary rule has its basis, not in the strength of the state or the chief, but in the moral weakness of the individual, who submits almost without resistance to the domineering power Picture Quote #1

My rule was I wouldn’t recruit a kid if he had grass in front of his house. That’s not my world. My world has a cracked sidewalk Picture Quote #1

The hypotheses which we accept ought to explain phenomena which we have observed. But they ought to do more than this; our hypotheses ought to foretell phenomena which have not yet been observed;... because if the rule prevails, it includes all cases; and will determine them all, if we can only calculate its real consequences. Hence it will predict the results of new combinations, as well as explain the appearances which have occurred in old ones. And that it does this with certainty and correctness, is one mode in which the hypothesis is to be verified as right and useful Picture Quote #1

I think it is the general rule that the originator of a new idea is not the most suitable person to develop it, because his fears of something going wrong are really too strong... At age 69 Picture Quote #1
