The devil tempts men through their ambition, their cupidity, or their appetite, until he comes to the profane swearer, whom he clutches without any reward (Wa Quotes)
Perhaps I do not know what I was made for; but one thing I certainly never was made for, and that is to put principles on and off at the dictation of a party, as a lackey changes his livery at his master (Wa Quotes)
When men think and believe in one set of symbols and act in ways which are contrary to their professed and conscious ideas, confusion and insincerity are bound to result (Wa Quotes)
Money... buys privacy, silence. The less money you have, the noisier it is; the thinner your walls, the closer your neighbors... The first thing you notice when you step into the house or apartment of a rich person is how quiet it is (Wa Quotes)
Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes. Genuine ignorance is profitable because it is likely to be accompanied by humility, curiosity, and open mindedness; whereas ability to repeat catch phrases, cant terms, familiar propositions, gives the conceit of learning and coats the mind with varnish waterproof to new ideas (Wa Quotes)
Let those who desire a secure homeland conquer it. Let those who do not conquer it live under the whip and in exile, watched over like wild animals, cast from one country to another (Wa Quotes)
This leads us to note down in our psychological chart of the mass man of today two fundamental traits: the free expansion of his vital desires, and, therefore, of his personality; and his radical ingratitude towards all that has made possible the ease of his existence. These traits together make up the well known psychology of the spoilt child (Wa Quotes)
Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafes full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. What previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room (Wa Quotes)
I do not deny that there may be other well founded causes for the hatred which various classes feel toward politicians, but the main one seems to me that politicians are symbols of the fact that every class must take every other class into account (Wa Quotes)
Old ideas give way slowly; for they are more than abstract logical forms and categories, they are habits, predispositions, deeply ingrained attitudes of diversion and preference (Wa Quotes)
In laying hands upon the sacred ark of absolute permanency, in treating the forms that had been regarded as types of fixity and perfection as originating and passing away, the Origin of Species introduced a mode of thinking that in the end was bound to transform the logic of knowledge, and hence the treatment of morals, politics, and religion (Wa Quotes)
Envy is the only name she could find for the monstrous thing she faced, but it was much worse than envy: it was the profound hatred of life, of success and of all human values (Wa Quotes)
The American businessmen, as a class, have demonstrated the greatest productive genius and the most spectacular achievements ever recorded in the economic history of mankind. What reward did they receive from our culture and its intellectuals? The position of a hated, persecuted minority. The position of a scapegoat for the evils of the bureaucrats (Wa Quotes)
There is more than a verbal tie between the words common, community, and communication. Try the experiment of communicating, with fullness and accuracy, some experience to another, especially if it be somewhat complicated, and you will find your own attitude toward your experience changing (Wa Quotes)
What is a demanding pleasure that demands the use of ones mind! Not in the sense of problem solving, but in the sense of exercising discrimination, judgment, awareness (Wa Quotes)
Large, naked, raw carrots are acceptable as food only to those who live in hutches eagerly awaiting Easter (Wa Quotes)
The ideal of happiness has always taken material form in the house, whether cottage or castle; it stands for permanence and separation from the world (Wa Quotes)
Every writer is necessarily a critic that is, each sentence is a skeleton accompanied by enormous activity of rejection; and each selection is governed by general principles concerning truth, force, beauty, and so on. The critic that is in every fabulist is like the iceberg nine tenths of him is under water (Wa Quotes)
We live in what is, but we find 1,000 ways not to face it. Great theatre strengthens our faculty to face it (Wa Quotes)
Old ideas give way slowly; for they are more than abstract logical forms and categories. They are habits, predispositions, deeply ingrained attitudes of aversion and preference (Wa Quotes)
The more decisions that you are forced to make alone, the more you are aware of your freedom to choose (Wa Quotes)
When God loves a creature he wants the creature to know the highest happiness and the deepest misery He wants him to know all that being alive can bring. That is his best gift. There is no happiness save in understanding the whole (Wa Quotes)
The future author is one who discovers that language, the exploration and manipulation of the resources of language, will serve him in winning through to his way (Wa Quotes)
Winning children (who appear so guileless) are children who have discovered how effective charm and modesty and a delicately calculated spontaneity are in winning what they want (Wa Quotes)
Many great writers have been extraordinarily awkward in daily exchange, but the greatest give the impression that their style was nursed by the closest attention to colloquial speech (Wa Quotes)
Imagination draws on memory. memory and imagination combined can stage a servants' ball or even write a book, if that's what they want to do (Wa Quotes)
Everybody's talking about people breaking into houses but there are more people in the world who want to break out of houses (Wa Quotes)
The dead don't stay interested in us living people for very long. gradually, gradually, they let go hold of the Earth... and the ambitions they had... and the pleasures they had... and the things they suffered... and the people they loved. they get weaned away from Earth— that's the way I put it—weaned away (Wa Quotes)
