Text Quotes
Prosperity in the form of wealth works exactly the same as everything else. You will see it coming into your life when you are unattached to needing it  (Wo Quotes) Life is not a set campaign, but an irregular work, and the main forces in it are not overt resolutions, but latent and half-involuntary promptings  (Wo Quotes) Masters, I have to tell a tale of woe, a tale of folly and of wasted life, hope against hope, the bitter dregs of strife, ending, where all things end, in death at last  (Wo Quotes) History is strewn with the wrecks of nations which have gained a little progressiveness at the cost of a great deal of hard manliness, and have thus prepared themselves for destruction as soon as the movements of the world gave a chance for it  (Wo Quotes) Conquest is the missionary of valour, and the hard impact of military virtues beats meanness out of the world  (Wo Quotes) The sovereign has, under a constitutional monarchy such as ours, three rights - the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, the right to warn. And a king of great sense and sagacity would want no others  (Wo Quotes) The most intellectual of men are moved quite as much by the circumstances which they are used to as by their own will. The active voluntary part of a man is very small, and if it were not economised by a sleepy kind of habit, its results would be null  (Wo Quotes) The most intellectual of men are moved quite as much by the circumstances which they are used to as by their own will. The active voluntary part of a man is very small, and if it were not economized by a sleepy kind of habit, its results would be null  (Wo Quotes) A witch and a bitch always dress up for each other, because otherwise the witch would upstage the bitch, or the bitch would upstage the witch, and the result would be havoc  (Wo Quotes) To whatever world he carries our souls when they shall pass out of these imprisoning bodies, in those worlds these souls of ours shall find themselves part of the same great temple; for it belongs not to this Earth alone  (Wo Quotes) Go and try to save a soul, and you will see how well it is worth saving, how capable it is of the most complete salvation. Not by pondering about it, nor by talking of it, but by saving it, you learn its preciousness  (Wo Quotes) Forgetfulness of grief I yet may gain; in some wise may come ending to my pain; it may be yet the Gods will have me glad! Yet, love, I would that thee and pain I had!  (Wo Quotes) Late February days; and now, at last, might you have thought that winter's woe was past; so fair the sky was and so soft the air  (Wo Quotes) Back in my rummy days, I would tremble and shake for hours upon arising. It was the only exercise I got  (Wo Quotes) To happy folk all heaviest words no more of meaning bear than far-off bells saddening the summer air  (Wo Quotes) Of heaven or hell I have no power to sing, I cannot ease the burden of your fears, or make quick-coming death a little thing, or bring again the pleasure of past years, nor for my words shall ye forget your tears, or hope again for aught that I can say, the idle singer of an empty day  (Wo Quotes) One was there who left all his friends behind; who going inland ever more and more, and being left quite alone, at last did find a lonely valley sheltered from the wind, wherein, amidst an ancient cypress wood, a long-deserted ruined castle stood  (Wo Quotes) There sat a woman, whose wet tresses rolled on to the floor in waves of gleaming gold, cast back from such a form as, erewhile shown to one poor shepherd, lighted up troy town  (Wo Quotes) Alas, alas! Another day gone by, another day and no soul come, she said; another year, and still I am not dead! And with that word once more her head she raised, and on the trembling man with great eyes gazed  (Wo Quotes) Drowsy I lie, no folk at my command, who once was called the lady of the land; who might have bought a kingdom with a kiss, yea, half the world with such a sight as this  (Wo Quotes) Ah! Wilt thou leave me then without one kiss, to slay the very seeds of fear and doubt, that glad tomorrow may bring certain bliss? Hast thou forgotten how love lives by this, the memory of some hopeful close embrace, low whispered words within some lonely place?  (Wo Quotes) Till again shall the change come, and words your lips say not your hearts make all plain in the best wise they would and the world ye thought waning is glorious and good  (Wo Quotes) O surely this morning all sorrow is hidden, all battle is hushed for this even at least; and no one this noontide may hunger, unbidden to the flowers and the singing and the joy of your feast where silent ye sit midst the world's tale increased  (Wo Quotes) There is only one art, whose sole criterion is the power, the authenticity, the revelatory insight, the courage and suggestiveness with which it seeks its truth. Thus, from the standpoint of the work and its worth it is irrelevant to which political ideas the artist as a citizen claims allegiance, which ideas he would like to serve with his work or whether he holds any such ideas at all  (Wo Quotes) It cannot suffice to invent new machines, new regulations, new institutions. It is necessary to change and improve our understanding of the true purpose of what we are and what we do in the world. Only such a new understanding will allow us to develop new models of behavior, new scales of values and goals, and thereby invest the global regulations, treaties and institutions with a new spirit and meaning  (Wo Quotes) You do not become a dissident just because you decide one day to take up this most unusual career. You are thrown into it by your personal sense of responsibility, combined with a complex set of external circumstances. You are cast out of the existing structures and placed in a position of conflict with them. It begins as an attempt to do your work well, and ends with being branded an enemy of society  (Wo Quotes) This is a confusing and uncertain period, when a thousand wise words can go completely unnoticed, and one thoughtless word can provoke an utterly nonsensical furor  (Wo Quotes) The law is only one of several imperfect and more or less external ways of defending what is better in life against what is worse. By itself, the law can never create anything better. Establishing respect for the law does not automatically ensure a better life for that, after all, is a job for people and not for laws and institutions  (Wo Quotes) Twenty or thirty years ago, in the army, we had a lot of obscure adventures, and years later we tell them at parties, and suddenly we realize that those two very difficult years of our lives have become lumped together into a few episodes that have lodged in our memory in a standardized form, and are always told in a standardized way, in the same words. But in fact that lump of memories has nothing whatsoever to do with our experience of those two years in the army and what it has made of us  (Wo Quotes) The only salvation of the world today... Is the rapid dissemination of the basic values of the west, that is, the ideas of democracy, human rights, the civil society, and the free market  (Wo Quotes)
