Text Quotes
Marriage is a framework to preserve friendship. It is valuable because it gives much more room to develop than just living together. It provides a base from which a person can work at understanding himself and another person (Use Quotes)
But want of money and the distress of a thief can never be alleged as the cause of his thieving, for many honest people endure greater hard ships with fortitude. We must therefore seek the cause else where than in want of money for that is the misers passion, not the thiefs (Use Quotes)
I have no skills with machines. I fear them, and because I cannot help attributing human qualities to them, I suspect that they hate me and will kill me if they can (Use Quotes)
I have known far too many university graduates, in this country and in my own, who, as soon as they have received the diploma which declares them to be of Certified Intelligence, put their brains in cold storage and never use them again until they are hauled away to the mortuary (Use Quotes)
Although there may be nothing new under the sun, what is old is new to us and so rich and astonishing that we never tire of it. If we do tire of it, if we lose our curiosity, we have lost something of infinite value, because to a high degree it is curiosity that gives meaning and savour to life (Use Quotes)
It is not always easy to diagnose. The simplest form of stupidity - the mumbling, nose-picking, stolid incomprehension - can be detected by anyone. But the stupidity which disguises itself as thought, and which talks so glibly and eloquently, indeed never stops talking, in every walk of life is not so easy to identify, because it marches under a formidable name, which few dare attack. It is called popular opinion (Use Quotes)
Men are admitted into heaven not because they have curbed and governed their passions or have no passions, but because they have cultivated their understandings. The treasures of heaven are not negations of passion, but realities of intellect, from which all the passions emanate uncurbed in their eternal glory. The fool shall not enter into heaven let him be ever so holy (Use Quotes)
Industry, thrift and self-control are not sought because they create wealth, but because they create character (Use Quotes)
To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is the Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but immediately to the understanding or reason? (Use Quotes)
A big man is always accused of gluttony, whereas a wizened or osseous man can eat like a refugee at every meal, and no one ever notices his greed (Use Quotes)
I see every thing I paint in this world, but everybody does not see alike. To the eyes of a miser a guinea is more beautiful than the sun, and a bag worn with the use of money has more beautiful proportions than a vine filled with grapes (Use Quotes)
I am really sorry to see my countrymen trouble themselves about politics. If men were wise, the most arbitrary princes could not hurt them. If they are not wise, the freest government is compelled to be a tyranny. Princes appear to me to be fools. Houses of Commons and Houses of Lords appear to me to be fools; they seem to me to be something else besides human life (Use Quotes)
I favor the policy of economy, not because I wish to save money, but because I wish to save people. The men and women of this country who toil are the ones who bear the cost of the Government. Every dollar that we carelessly waste means that their life will be so much the more meager. Every dollar that we prudently save means that their life will be so much the more abundant. Economy is idealism in its most practical form (Use Quotes)
It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it (Use Quotes)
To the eyes of a miser a guinea is far more beautiful than the sun, and a bag worn with the use of money has more beautiful proportions that a vine filled with grapes (Use Quotes)
He makes a beggar first that first relieves him; not us'rers make more beggars where they live Than charitable men that use to give (Use Quotes)
We should not look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dearly bought experience (Use Quotes)
To expect... The same service from raw and undisciplined recruits, as from veteran soldiers, is to expect what never did and perhaps never will happen. Men, who are familiarized to danger, meet it without shrinking; whereas troops unused to service often apprehend danger where no danger is (Use Quotes)
The day I made that statement, about the inventing the internet, I was tired because I'd been up all night inventing the camcorder (Use Quotes)
Winston Churchill aroused this nation in heroic fashion to save civilisation in World War Two. We have everything we need except political will, but political will is a renewable resource (Use Quotes)
Deign on the passing world to turn thine eyes, and pause a while from learning to be wise. There mark what ills the scholar's life assail - toil, envy, want, the patron, and the jail (Use Quotes)
But, perhaps, the excellence of aphorisms consists not so much in the expression of some rare or abstruse sentiment, as in the comprehension of some obvious and useful truth in few words (Use Quotes)
The right to demand the best and refuse the worst and do so not by virtue of your wealth, but your equal status as citizen, thats precisely what the modern Labour Party should stand for (Use Quotes)
He said, ‘The government of the people, by the people, and for the people, has one duty above all others: it must preserve the American Republic and the constitutional rule of law upon which it is founded. Because if those foundations be removed, how can our house be saved from ruination?’ (Use Quotes)
Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them (Use Quotes)
The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between (Use Quotes)
Opportunities fly by while we sit regretting the chances we have lost, and the happiness that comes to us we heed not, because of the happiness that is gone (Use Quotes)
I want a house that has got over all its troubles; I don't want to spend the rest of my life bringing up a young and inexperienced house (Use Quotes)
There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use (Use Quotes)
How should followers of Jesus relate to people of other religions? Christianity has a nauseating, infuriating, depressing record when it comes to encountering people of other religions. Jesus accepted everyone and so should we (Use Quotes)
