Vai Quotes

I am glad to know that there is a system of labor where the laborer can strike if he wants to! I would to God that such a system prevailed all over the world Picture Quote #1

I'm not the type of guy who enjoys one night stands. It leaves me feeling very empty and cynical. It's not even fun sexually. I need to feel something for the woman and entertain the vain hope that it may lead to a relationship Picture Quote #1

What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it Picture Quote #1

I am always interested in why young people become writers, and from talking with many I have concluded that most do not want to be writers working eight and ten hours a day and accomplishing little; they want to have been writers, garnering the rewards of having completed a best seller. They aspire to the rewards of writing but not to the travail Picture Quote #1

Ordinary human motives will appeal in vain to the ears which have heard the tones of the heavenly music; and all the pomp of life will show poor and tawdry to the sight that has gazed on the vision of the great white throne and the crystal sea Picture Quote #1

I'd been doing projects outdoors for the public. I made pigeons eat geometry by putting bread out in rhomboids and triangles. I don't know if this activity made sense, but the work was available Picture Quote #1

The thing done avails, and not what is said about it. An original sentence, a step forward, is worth more than all the censures Picture Quote #1

Life only avails, not the having lived. Power ceases in the instant of repose; it resides in the moment of transition from a past to a new state, in the shooting of the gulf, in the darting to an aim Picture Quote #1

It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on Earth, and if we can teach our children to honor nature's gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever Picture Quote #1

Thus grows up fashion, an equivocal semblance, the most puissant, the most fantastic and frivolous, the most feared and followed, and which morals and violence assault in vain Picture Quote #1

As for butterflies, I can hardly conceive of one's attending upon you; but to question the congruence of the complement is vain, if it exists Picture Quote #1

We grant no dukedoms to the few, we hold like rights and shall; equal on Sunday in the pew, on Monday in the mall. For what avail the plough or sail, or land, or life, if freedom fail? Picture Quote #1

Of the various forms of government which have prevailed in the world, an hereditary monarchy seems to present the fairest scope for ridicule Picture Quote #1

Stupidity is much the same all the world over. A stupid person's notions and feelings may confidently be inferred from those which prevail in the circle by which the person is surrounded. Not so with those whose opinions and feelings are an emanation from their own nature and faculties Picture Quote #1

Since the general or prevailing opinion on any subject is rarely or never the whole truth, it is only by the collision of adverse opinion that the remainder of the truth has any chance of being supplied Picture Quote #1

Protection, therefore, against the tyranny of the magistrate is not enough; there needs protection against the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling, against the tendency of society to impose, by other means than civil penalties, it's own ideas and practices as rules of conduct on those who dissent from them Picture Quote #1

Few can believe that suffering, especially by others, is in vain. Anything that is disagreeable must surely have beneficial economic effects Picture Quote #1

Increasingly in recent times we have come first to identify the remedy that is most agreeable, most convenient, most in accord with major pecuniary or political interest, the one that reflects our available faculty for action; then we move from the remedy so available or desired back to a cause to which that remedy is relevant Picture Quote #1

If we are concerned about our great appetite for materials, it is plausible to decrease waste, to make better use of stocks available, and to develop substitutes. But what about the appetite itself? The major cause of the continued deterioration of the global environment is the unsustainable pattern of consumption and production, particularly in industrialised countries Picture Quote #1

Take, o take those lips away, that so sweetly were forsworn; and those eyes, the break of day, lights that do mislead the morn; but my kisses bring again, bring again, seals of love, but sealed in vain, sealed in vain Picture Quote #1

I speak of a clinical depression that is the background of your entire life, a background of anguish and anxiety, a sense that nothing goes well, that pleasure is unavailable and all your strategies collapse Picture Quote #1

It (trying to keep the law) grants you the power to judge others and feel superior to them. You believe you are living to a higher standard than those you judge. Enforcing rules, especially in it's more subtle expressions like responsibility and expectation, is a vain attempt to create certainly out of uncertainty. And contrary to what you might think, I have a great fondness for uncertainty. Rules cannot bring freedom; they only have the power to accuse Picture Quote #1

We simply need that wild country available to us... For it can be a means of reassuring ourselves of our sanity as creatures, a part of the geography of hope Picture Quote #1

Lovely sweetness is the noblest power of woman, and is far fitter to prevail by parley than by battle Picture Quote #1

Most of the debate over the cultures of death and life is about process. The debate focuses on the technology available to determine how we prolong life and how and when we end it Picture Quote #1

To put up a show is to face life's injustices with one of the few weapons available to a desperate and brave people, their imagination Picture Quote #1

Every present occasion will catch the senses of the vain man; and with that bridle and saddle you may ride him Picture Quote #1

If authors cannot be prevailed upon to keep close to truth and instruction, by unvaried terms, and plain, unsophisticated argument, yet it concerns readers not to be imposed on Picture Quote #1

Oh, what a shock. My career must be slipping. This is the first time I've been available to pick up an award Picture Quote #1

Nothing is so discouraging to subordinates as a chief who hesitates. Firmness, said Napoleon, prevails in all things Picture Quote #1
