Upon Quotes

History is a jangle of accidents, blunders, surprises and absurdities, and so is our knowledge of it, but if we are to report it at all we must impose some order upon it Picture Quote #1

Truly, that reason upon which we plume ourselves, though it may answer for little things, yet for great decisions is hardly surer than a toss up Picture Quote #1

I was a tried seaman when, for the first time, I set foot upon the soil of my country, and took up my residence where my people had lived for over two hundred years Picture Quote #1

The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence Picture Quote #1

If we bring not the good courage of minds covetous of truth, and truth only, prepared to hear all things, and decide upon all things, according to evidence, we should do more wisely to sit down contented in ignorance, than to bestir ourselves only to reap disappointment Picture Quote #1

Mistresses are like books; if you pore upon them too much, they doze you and make you unfit for company; but if used discreetly, you are the fitter for conversation by em Picture Quote #1

We are well aware from which countries and through which countries the terrorists are receiving support. In the immediate future I shall be calling upon the leaders of these states to put a stop to this kind of activity Picture Quote #1

I am aware that my name has been connected with all the bank robberies in the country; but positively I had nothing to do with any one of them. I look upon my life since the war as a blank, and will never say anything to make it appear otherwise Picture Quote #1

Women’s propaganda must touch upon all those questions which are of great importance to the general proletarian movement. The main task is, indeed, to awaken the women’s class consciousness and to incorporate them into the class struggle Picture Quote #1

How little the public realizes what a girl must go through before she finally appears before the spotlight that is thrown upon the stage Picture Quote #1

I dreamed night after night that everyone in the world was dead excepting myself, and that upon me rested the responsibility of making a wagon wheel Picture Quote #1

The cross is not only imposed upon the saints as their burden, but bequeathed unto them as their legacy. It is given unto them as an honor and privilege Picture Quote #1

You cannot force ideas. Successful ideas are the result of slow growth. Ideas do not reach perfection in a day, no matter how much study is put upon them Picture Quote #1

Once upon a time there was a lady. She had no children, and no happiness either. And at first she cried for a long time, but then she became wicked Picture Quote #1

I have followed after the truth, across this windy planet upon which every person is nourished by one or another lie Picture Quote #1

You cannot be buried in obscurity: you are exposed upon a grand theater to the view of the world. If your actions are upright and benevolent, be assured they will augment your power and happiness Picture Quote #1

You must concentrate upon and consecrate yourself wholly to each day, as though a fire were raging in your hair Picture Quote #1

Again I want to emphasize that the study of propaganda must be conducted within the context of a technological society. Propaganda is called upon to solve problems created by technology, to play on maladjustments, and to integrate the individual into a technological world Picture Quote #1

America was born modern; it did not have to achieve modernity, nor did it have modernity thrust upon it Picture Quote #1

The heart of animals is the foundation of their life, the sovereign of everything within them, the sun of their microcosm, that upon which all growth depends, from which all power proceeds Picture Quote #1

Repeated reflection and inquiry have led me to the somewhat novel opinion, that value depends entirely upon utility Picture Quote #1

The winter moon becomes a companion, the heart of the priest, sunk in meditation upon religion and philosophy, there in the mountain hall, is engaged in a delicate interplay and exchange with the moon; and it is this of which the poet sings Picture Quote #1

One should write not unskillfully in the running hand, be able to sing in a pleasing voice and keep good time to music; and, lastly, a man should not refuse a little wine when it is pressed upon him Picture Quote #1

The hour of death waits for no order. Death does not even come from the front. It is ever pressing on from behind. All men know of death, but they do not expect it of a sudden, and it comes upon them unawares. So, though the dry flats extend far out, soon the tide comes and floods the beach Picture Quote #1

Man’s achievements rest upon the use of symbols... we must consider ourselves as a symbolic, semantic class of life, and those who rule the symbols, rule us Picture Quote #1

To love is to be delighted by the happiness of someone, or to experience pleasure upon the happiness of another. I define this as true love Picture Quote #1

The only weapon with which the unconscious patient can immediately retaliate upon the incompetent surgeon is hemorrhage Picture Quote #1

Few minds are sunlike, sources of light in themselves and to others: many more are moons that shine with a borrowed radiance. One may easily distinguish the two: the former are always full; the latter only now and then, when their suns are shining full upon them Picture Quote #1

Upon the whole, I am inclined to think that the far greater part, if not all, of those difficulties which have hitherto amused philosophers, and blocked up the way to knowledge, are entirely owing to our selves. That we have first raised a dust, and then complain, we cannot see Picture Quote #1

Euphonic and harmonious expressions, forcible and just expressions, profound and comprehensive expressions, and especially apt and witty expressions, each have their specific influence upon different minds, and their common influence upon all minds... It is therefore high time our most valuable aphorisms and paragraphs were put in order for frequent perusal, and for handy reference, as the circumstances of life call up subjects Picture Quote #1
