| Quote:Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:An event has happened, upon which it is difficult to speak, and impossible to be silent.[Edmund Burke] Quote:The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.[Stephen Hawking] Quote:A true artist will let his wife starve, his children go barefoot, his mother drudge for his living at seventy, sooner than work at anything but his art.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:There are events which are so great that if a writer has participated in them his obligation is to write truly rather than assume the presumption of altering them with invention.[Ernest Hemingway] Quote:There is a paradox in pride: it makes some men ridiculous, but prevents others from becoming so.[Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:Every act and event is the inevitable result of prior acts and events and is independent of human will.[Karl Marx] Quote:The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur.[Vince Lombardi] Quote:In the past decade or so, the women's magazines have taken to running home-handyperson articles suggesting that women can learn to fix things just as well as men. These articles are apparently based on the ludicrous assumption that men know how to fix things, when in fact all they know how to do is look at things in a certain squinty-eyed manner, which they learned in Wood Shop; eventually, when enough things in the home are broken, they take a job requiring them to transfer to another home.[Dave Barry] Quote:I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:A few hours of mountain climbing turn a villain and a saint into two rather equal creature. Exhaustion is the shortest way to equality and fraternity, and liberty is added eventually by sleep.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:This does not mean that the enemy is to be allowed to escape. The object is to make him believe that there is a road to safety, and thus prevent his fighting with the courage of despair. After that, you may crush him.[Sun Tzu] Quote:We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.[Robert Wilensky] Quote:A subject for a great poet would be God's boredom after the seventh day of creation.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Any great truth can -- and eventually will -- be expressed as a cliche -- a cliche is a sure and certain way to dilute an idea. For instance, my grandmother used to say, 'The black cat is always the last one off the fence.' I have no idea what she meant, but at one time, it was undoubtedly true. [Solomon Short] Quote:Learn the art of patience. Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success. [Cato the Elder] Quote:It's funny, to me, the way people refer to childbirth as a miraculous event. A miracle is something that defies nature. Only, childbirth has got to be the most natural thing in the world. Top three anyway. But, on the other hand, when you think about it, there's really no other word that fits. Sperm. Egg. A coincidental meshing of genetic information that will grow something that could write an opera or cook up some Napalm. It blows my mind. [Barbara Hall] Quote:The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization. [Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on. [Bob Newhart] Quote:Let the fear of danger be a spur to prevent it; he that fears not, gives advantage to the danger. [Francis Quarles] Quote:You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war. [Albert Einstein] Quote:Justice is a contract of expediency, entered upon to prevent men harming or being harmed. [Epicurus] Quote:To be ignorant of what happened before you were born is to be ever a child. For what is man's lifetime unless the memory of past events is woven with those of earlier times? [Cicero] Definitions of: eventDefinition: That which comes, arrives, or happens; that which falls out; any incident, good or bad.Definition: An affair in hand; business; enterprise.
