Wherefrom Quotes

I have a letter from her of such contents as you will wonder at, the mirth whereof so larded with my matter that neither singly can be manifested without the show of both, wherein fat Falstaff Hath a great scene Picture Quote #1

The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers Picture Quote #1

Thy deathbed is no lesser than thy land, wherein thou liest in reputation sick; and thou, too careless patient as thou art, committ'st thy anointed body to the cure of those physicians that first wounded thee Picture Quote #1

Washington is a place where men praise courage and act on elaborate personal cost-benefit calculations Picture Quote #1

In Europe and the United States the two decades following the Second World War will for long be remembered as a very good time, the time when capitalism really worked. Everywhere in the industrialized countries production increased. Unemployment was everywhere low. Prices were nearly stable. When production lagged and unemployment rose, governments intervened to take up the slack, as Keynes had urged Picture Quote #1

Then came the second Amsterdam discovery, although the principle was known elsewhere. Bank deposits...did not need to be left idly in the bank. They could be lent. The bank then got interest. The borrower then had a deposit that he could spend. But the original deposit still stood to the credit of the original depositor. That too could be spent. Money, spendable money, had been created. Let no one rub his or her eyes. It's still being done - every day. The creation of money by a bank is as simple as this, so simple, I've often said, that the mind is slightly repelled Picture Quote #1

I react pragmatically. Where the market works, I'm for that. Where the government is necessary, I'm for that. I'm deeply suspicious of somebody who says, 'I'm in favor of privatization,' or, 'I'm deeply in favor of public ownership.' I'm in favor of whatever works in the particular case Picture Quote #1

Because I do think - not just in building AOL - but just the world in which we live is a very confusing, rapidly changing world where technology has accelerated Picture Quote #1

Even in such a time of madness as the late twenties, a great many man in Wall Street remained quite sane. But they also remained very quiet. The sense of responsibility in the financial community for the community as a whole is not small. It is nearly nil. Perhaps this is inherent. In a community where the primary concern is making money, one of the necessary rules is to live and let live. To speak out against madness may be to ruin those who have succumbed to it. So the wise in Wall Street are nearly always silent. The foolish thus have the field to themselves. None rebukes them Picture Quote #1

I must admit, even though I'm the product of two Jewish parents, I think the Irish temper got in there somewhere, so I'm going to check mom's genealogy Picture Quote #1

I know where I'm going and I have told the French. I am sure if hope is there, we will be able to put France back on it's feet. To live better in five years than we do today Picture Quote #1

From lowest place when virtuous things proceed, the place is dignified by th' doer's deed. Where great additions swell's, and virtue none, it is a dropsied honor. Good alone is good without a name; vileness is so: the property by what it is should go, not by the title Picture Quote #1

Only the minute and the future are interesting in fashion - it exists to be destroyed. If everybody did everything with respect, you'd go nowhere Picture Quote #1

Tell me, my daughters (since now we will divest us both of rule, interest of territory, cares of state), which of you shall we say doth love us most, that our largest bounty may extend where nature doth with merit challenge Picture Quote #1

You know when you get into that thing where people want to discuss the relationship? I'd rather discuss what was on telly, avoid the issue, discuss anything other than the relationship Picture Quote #1

I never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It's more fun to come to Paris Picture Quote #1

The BBC is locked to the reading of the economy that is run out of Ed Miliband and Ed Balls' office. They think if only you spend and borrow more money you can create growth everywhere Picture Quote #1

Why, that is nothing, for I tell you, father, I am as peremptory as she proud minded, and where two waging fires meet together they do consume the thing that feeds their fury. Though little fire grows great with little wind, yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all Picture Quote #1

I was born into a family of gospel singers. My early ambitions were many. I was going to be a ballerina. I almost had that one come true until I tore a tendon, so I transferred from my toes to my throat and that's where the talent settled Picture Quote #1

I'd like to see a world free of strife, stress, pain, hunger, war - a cool place where everyone could live Picture Quote #1

This is the most challenging activity that humans get into, which is love. You know, where we have the sense that we can't live without love. That life has very little meaning without love Picture Quote #1

There were periods of my life when a lot of people didn't believe in me. I still had faith in myself. I really had to ask myself life questions. Where do I see myself in five years? Create a ladder for yourself, and walk up the steps. Climb that ladder Picture Quote #1

Any human anywhere will blossom in a hundred unexpected talents and capacities simply by being given the opportunity to do so Picture Quote #1

Just because I work incredible good out of unspeakable tragedies doesn't mean I orchestrate the tragedies. Don't ever assume that my using something means I caused it or that I need it to accomplish my purposes. That will only lead you to false notions about me. Grace doesn't depend on suffering to exist, but where there is suffering you will find grace in many facets and colors Picture Quote #1

Perhaps there is supranatural: reason beyond the normal definitions of fact or data-based logic; something that only makes sense if you can see a bigger picture of reality. Maybe that is where faith fits in Picture Quote #1

Grace doesn't depend on suffering to exist, but where there is suffering you will find grace in many facets and colors Picture Quote #1

That's the beauty of music. You can take a theme from a Bach sacred chorale and improvise. It doesn't make any difference where the theme comes from; the treatment of it can be jazz Picture Quote #1

As soon as a women gets to an age where she has opinions and she's vital and she's strong, she's systematically shamed into hiding under a rock Picture Quote #1

I never want to be in a position where I have to defend my material. It's too subjective. It's for other people to defend or not defend Picture Quote #1

I'm not one of those actors where filmmakers that I admire ask me to be in their movies. I meet them at parties and they're nice to me, but they never ask me to work with them Picture Quote #1
