| Quote:I have never taken any exercise except sleeping and resting.[Mark Twain] Quote:Sex without love is merely healthy exercise.[Robert Heinlein] Quote:Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:The statesman who would attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals, would not only load himeslf with a most unnecessary attention, but assume an authority which could safetly be trusted to no council and senate whatever, and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of a man who had folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it.[Adam Smith] Quote:I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:The statesman who would attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals, would not only load himeslf with a most unnecessary attention, but assume an authority which could safely be trusted to no council and senate whatever, and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of a man who had folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it.[Adam Smith] Quote:The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body; but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.[Plato] Quote:Why do strong arms fatigue themselves with frivolous dumbbells? To dig a vineyard is worthier exercise for men. [Marcus Valerius Martialis] Quote:Let each man exercise the art he knows. [Aristophanes] Quote:Exercise alone provides psychological and physical benefits. However, if you also adopt a strategy that engages your mind while you exercise, you can get a whole host of psychological benefits fairly quickly. [Joseph Addison] Quote:He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it. [Confucius] Quote:Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself. [Eric Hoffer] Quote:Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far. [Thomas Jefferson] Quote:I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises. [Neil Armstrong] Quote:When men exercise their reason coolly and freely on a variety of distinct questions, they inevitably fall into different opinions on some of them. When they are governed by a common passion, their opinions, if they are to be called, will be the same. [Alexander Hamilton] Quote:The memory should be specially taxed in youth, since it is then that it is strongest and most tenacious. But in choosing the things that should be committed to memory the utmost care and forethought must be exercised; as lessons well learnt in youth are never forgotten.
