Vage Quotes

I love boxing and it did a lot for me. But sometimes it made me think how savage human beings could be to each other. That wasn’t the kind of boxer I wanted to be. My strategy was to be as scientific as I could when I fought. I didn’t want to be seriously hurt, and I didn’t want to do that to anybody else either Picture Quote #1

Without good humour, learning and bravery can only confer that superiority which swells the heart of the lion in the desert, where he roars without reply, and ravages without resistance. Without good humour virtue may awe by its dignity and amaze by its brightness, but must always be viewed at a distance, and will scarcely gain a friend or attract an imitator Picture Quote #1

Do not be too quick to assume your enemy is a savage just because he is your enemy. Perhaps he is your enemy because he thinks you are a savage. Or perhaps he is afraid of you because he feels that you are afraid of him. And perhaps if he believed you are capable of loving him he would no longer be your enemy Picture Quote #1

Passion has overthrown tyrants and freed prisoners and slaves. Passion has brought justice where there was savagery. Passion has created freedom where there was nothing but fear. Passion has helped souls rise from the ashes of their horrible lives and build something better, stronger, more beautiful Picture Quote #1

Pity is not natural to man. Children and savages are always cruel. Pity is acquired and improved by the cultivation of reason. We may have uneasy sensations from seeing a creature in distress, without pity; but we have not pity unless we wish to relieve him Picture Quote #1

Rivers are the primal highways of life. From the crack of time, they had borne men’s dreams, and in their lovely rush to elsewhere, fed our wanderlust, mimicked our arteries, and charmed our imaginations in a way the static pond or vast and savage ocean never could Picture Quote #1

From my experience with wild apples, I can understand that there may be reason for a savage’s preferring many kinds of food which the civilized man rejects. The former has the palate of an outdoor man. It takes a savage or wild taste to appreciate a wild fruit Picture Quote #1

Mrs. Jo did not mean the measles, but that more serious malady called love, which is apt to ravage communities, spring and autumn, when winter gayety and summer idleness produce whole bouquets of engagements, and set young people to pairing off like the birds Picture Quote #1

With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated. We civilized men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination. We build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed and the sick. Thus the weak members of civilized societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. Hardly anyone is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed Picture Quote #1

As I came home through the woods with my string of fish, trailing my pole, it being now quite dark, I caught a glimpse of a woodchuck stealing across my path, and felt a strange thrill of savage delight, and was strongly tempted to seize and devour him raw; not that I was hungry then, except for that wildness which he represented Picture Quote #1

It’s easy for me to go back to being a kid. You know how kids can be like savages before they get civilized? there’s that sadist quality. Y’know, like boys who like to pick apart an insect for the sake of it Picture Quote #1

I directed the men in our barque to approach near the savages, and hold their arms in readiness to do their duty in case they notice any movement of these people against us Picture Quote #1

Japan is the only country in the world to have suffered the ravages of atomic bombing. That experience left an indelible mark on the hearts of our people, making them passionately determined to renounce all wars Picture Quote #1

We have forgotten that we have not come to an empty land to inherit it, but we have come to conquer a country from people inhabiting it, that governs it by the virtue of its language and savage culture Picture Quote #1

One of the fundamental preconditions of successful socialist construction is to ensure the people’s readiness to defend themselves from the ravages of probable regional or global wars on the basis of the balance of forces generating from the basic contradictions of our epoch Picture Quote #1

We cannot resist against these savages anymore. Please listen to me! Brothers and sisters, I will use the word beg. I beg you. We have to end this for now Picture Quote #1

Among human beings, the subjection of women is much more complete at a certain level of civilization than it is among savages. And the subjection is always reinforced by morality Picture Quote #1

Such religion as there can be in modern life, every individual will have to salvage from the churches for himself Picture Quote #1

The magnetic cleavage of the spectral lines is dependent on the size of the charge of the electron, or, more accurately, on the ratio between the mass and the charge of the electron Picture Quote #1

Sometimes slavery is founded upon the inferiority of one race to another; and then it appears in its most agreeable garb, for the system may be necessary to tame and civilize a race of savages Picture Quote #1

In our so very civilized society it is necessary for me to live the life of a savage. I must be free, even of governments. The people have my sympathies. I must address them directly Picture Quote #1

War is a survival among us from savage times and affects now chiefly the boyish and unthinking element of the nation Picture Quote #1

Had population and food increased in the same ratio, it is probable that man might never have emerged from the savage state Picture Quote #1

Savagery is necessary every four or five hundred years in order to bring the world back to life. Otherwise the world would die of civilization Picture Quote #1

Cities produce ferocious men, because they produce corrupt men; the mountains, the forest, and the sea, render men savage; they develop the fierce, but yet do not destroy the human Picture Quote #1

Wherever a people has grown savage in arms so that human laws have no longer any place among it, the only powerful means of reducing it is religion Picture Quote #1

And we had thought that our hard climb out of that cruel valley led to some cool, green, and peaceful, sunlit place but it’s all jungle here, a wild and savage wilderness that’s overrun with ruins Picture Quote #1

Bravery is a cheap and vulgar quality, of which the brightest instances are frequently found in the lowest savage Picture Quote #1

The ideal of morality has no more dangerous rival than the ideal of highest strength, of most powerful life. It is the maximum of the savage Picture Quote #1

For it is most true that a natural and secret hatred and aversation towards society in any man, hath somewhat of the savage beast Picture Quote #1
