Lewis] Quote:The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.[Samuel Johnson] Quote:If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry.

Washington] Quote:We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes.[Gene Roddenberry] Quote:A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary.

Lewis] Quote:A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is...

They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.[C.S.

Eliot] Quote:Men want a woman whom they can turn on and off like a light switch.[Ian Fleming] Quote:Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness.

That was a true proverb of the wise man, rely upon it;[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling.

It is shorter to state the things forbidden than the things permitted: precisely because most things are permitted, and only a few things are forbidden.[GK Chesterton] Quote:I say that a man must be certain of his morality for the simple reason that he has to suffer for it.[GK Chesterton] Quote:All science, even the divine science, is a sublime detective story. Only it is not set to detect why a man is dead; but the darker secret of why he is alive.[GK Chesterton] Quote:Too much capitalism does not mean too many capitalists, but too few capitalists.[GK Chesterton] Quote:Philosophy is written in this grand book - I mean the Universe - which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.[Galileo Galilei] Quote:All but the hard hearted man must be torn with pity for this pathetic dilemma of the rich man, who has to keep the poor man just stout enough to do the work and just thin enough to have to do it.[GK Chesterton] Quote:By a curious confusion, many modern critics have passed from the proposition that a masterpiece may be unpopular to the other proposition that unless it is unpopular it cannot be a masterpiece.[GK Chesterton] Quote:I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me.[Dudley Malone] Quote:Trust the man who hesitates in his speech and is quick and steady in action, but beware of long arguments and long beards.[George Santayana] Quote:There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read.[GK Chesterton] Quote:A great many of those who 'debunk' traditional...values have in the background values of their own which they believe to be immune from the debunking process.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:If the universe is so bad...how on earth did human beings ever come to attribute it to the activity of a wise and good Creator?[C.S. Lewis] Quote:American business long ago gave up on demanding that prospective employees be honest and hardworking. It has even stopped hoping for employees who are educated enough that they can tell the difference between the men's room and the women's room without having little pictures on the doors.[Dave Barry] Quote:I would not know how I am supposed to feel about many stories if not for the fact that the TV news personalities make sad faces for sad stories and happy faces for happy stories.[Dave Barry] Quote:If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there are men on base.[Dave Barry] Quote:Like many members of the uncultured, Cheez-It consuming public, I am not good at grasping modern art.[Dave Barry] Quote:The Democrats seem to be basically nicer people, but they have demonstrated time and again that they have the management skills of celery.[Dave Barry] Quote:The major parties could conduct live human sacrifices on their podiums during prime time, and I doubt that anybody would notice.[Dave Barry] Quote:Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer.

Lewis] Quote:A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading.

Lewis] Quote:It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.[Winston Churchill] Quote:An orator is a man who says what he thinks and feels what he says.[William Jennings Bryan] Quote:Do not compute the totality of your poultry population until all the manifestations of incubation have been entirely completed.[William Jennings Bryan] Quote:A University of Chicago professor said the greatest day in the world was when a water puppy crawled out on land and decided to stay. The water puppy, he said, went on to become a man. If he proves that, I am willing to give up Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year's Day, and to celebrate Water Puppy Day.[William Jennings Bryan] Quote:I believe one of the reasons so many do not get a higher education is the fear of their parents that they will lose more morally than they will receive mentally.[William Jennings Bryan] Quote:You would not call a man humane for ceasing to set mousetraps if he did so because he believed there were no mice in the house.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Advice to young writers who want to get ahead without annoying delays: don?t write about Man, write about 'a' man.[E.B. White] Quote:The one man who should never attempt an explanation on poetry is its author. If the poem can be improved by its author?s explanations, it never should have been published.[Archibald MacLeish] Quote:Too many poets delude themselves by thinking that the mind is dangerous and must be left out. Well, the mind is dangerous and must be left in.[Robert Frost] Quote:A man who has never made a woman angry is a failure in life.[Christopher Morley] Quote:In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty.[Christopher Morley] Quote:When you sell a man a book you don't sell him just 12 ounces of paper and ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life.[Christopher Morley] Quote:A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.[Robert Frost] Quote:A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel.[Robert Frost] Quote:It's a funny thing that when a man hasn't anything on earth to worry about, he goes off and gets married.[Robert Frost] Quote:Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.[John Donne] Quote:It is very easy to tell the difference between man-made and God-made objects. The more you magnify man-made objects, the cruder they look, but the more you magnify God-made objects, the more precise and intricate they appear.[Luther Sutherland] Quote:It doesn't matter how many people I've killed. What matters is how I get along with the people who are still alive.[Bruce Willis] Quote:However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?[Siddhartha Buddha] Quote:It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.[Siddhartha Buddha] Quote:There are no seeing eye cats, of course, because the sole function of cats, in the Great Chain of Life, is to cause harm to human beings.[Dave Barry] Quote:We humans do not need to leave Earth to get to a hostile, deadly, alien environment; we already have Miami.[Dave Barry] Quote:The ACLU is always yakking about the Constitution, and most of us are getting mighty tired of it. I mean, if the Constitution is so great, how come it was amended so many times? Huh?[Dave Barry] Quote:There are many silly superstitions about lightning, and as a result many people - maybe even you - are terrified of it. You shouldn't worry. Thanks to modern science we now know that lightning is nothing more than huge chunks of electricity that can come out of the sky, anytime, anywhere, and kill you.[Dave Barry] Quote:Over the next hundred years or so football saw a great many major innovations and refinements that are too boring to even think about. Along the way professional football came into being so that the largest and most violent college players would have a way to earn money other than simply demanding it from innocent civilians.[Dave Barry] Quote:I don't know what the new Ford will be called. Probably something like the 'Ford Untamed Wilderness Adventure.' In the TV commercials, it will be shown splashing through rivers, charging up rocky mountainsides, swinging on vines, diving off cliffs, racing through the surf, and fighting giant sharks hundreds of feet beneath the ocean surface -- all the daredevil things that cars do in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, where nobody ever drives on an actual world. In fact, the interstate highways in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, having been abandoned by humans, are teeming with deer, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife species that have fled from the forests to avoid being run over by nature-seekers in multi-ton vehicles barreling through the underbrush at 50 miles per hour.[Dave Barry] Quote:I assume you are on the Internet. If you are not, then pardon my French, but vous ehzeh un big loser. Today EVERYBODY is on the Internet, including the primitive Mud People of the Amazon rain forest. In the old days, when the Mud People needed food, they had to manually throw spears at wild boars; whereas today they simply get on the Internet, go to www.spear-a-boar.com and click their mouse a few times (the Mud People use actual mice). Within three business days, a large box is delivered to them by a UPS driver, whom they eat.[Dave Barry] Quote:I have not felt remotely cool for a long time, thanks largely to the relentless efforts of my teenage son, whose goal in life is to make me feel 3,500 years old. We'll be in the car, and he'll say, 'You wanna hear my new CD?' And I, flattered that he thinks his old man might like the same music he does, will say 'Sure!' So he increases the sound-system volume setting from '4' to 'Meteor Impact,' and he puts in a CD by a band with a name like 'Pustule,' and the next thing I know gigantic nuclear bass notes have blown out all the car windows and activated both the driver- and passenger-side air bags, and I'm writhing on the floor, screaming for mercy with jets of blood spurting three feet from my ears. My son then ejects the CD, smiling contentedly, knowing he as purchased a winner. On those extremely rare occasions when I like one of his CDs, I imagine he destroys it with a blowtorch.[Dave Barry] Quote:In some versions of my original contest column I had proposed, in a lighthearted manner, that we reduce the deficit by 'selling unnecessary states such as Oklahoma to the Japanese.' This caused a number of Oklahomans to send in letters containing many correctly spelled words and making the central lighthearted point that I am a jerk. They also sent me official literature stating that Oklahoma has enormous quantities of culture in the form of ballet, Oral Roberts, etc., and that the Official State Reptile -- I am not making this up -- is something called the 'Mountain Boomer.' So I apologize to Oklahoma, and as a token of my sincerity I'm willing to sell my state, Florida, to the Japanese, assuming nobody objects to the fact that Japan would suddenly become the most heavily armed nation on Earth.[Dave Barry] Quote:Examinations are formidable even to the best prepared, for the greatest fool may ask more than the wisest man can answer.[Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:Many books require no thought from those who read them, and for a very simple reason; they made no such demand upon those who wrote them.[Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:It is in vain to hope to please all alike. Let a man stand with his face in what direction he will, he must necessarily turn his back on one half of the world.[George Dennison Prentice] Quote:Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at no other.[Edmund Burke] Quote:If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free; if our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed.[Edmund Burke] Quote:Religion is essentially the art and the theory of the remaking of man. Man is not a finished creation.[Edmund Burke] Quote:Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits them all.[Edmund Burke] Quote:I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.[Stephen Hawking] 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:All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.[Aristotle] Quote:Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.[Aristotle] Quote:I have gained this from philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.[Aristotle] Quote:In nine cases out of ten, a woman had better show more affection than she feels.[Aristotle] Quote:My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.[Aristotle] Quote:A drama critic is a man who leaves no turn unstoned.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:A censor is a man who knows more than he thinks you ought to.[Laurence Peter] Quote:A pessimist is a man who looks both ways when he crosses the street.[Laurence Peter] Quote:A man doesn't know what he knows until he knows what he doesn't know.[Laurence Peter] Quote:Democracy is a process by which people are free to choose the man who will get the blame.[Laurence Peter] Quote:The man who says he is willing to meet you halfway is usually a poor judge of distance.[Laurence Peter] Quote:A woman isn't complete without a man. But where do you find a man - a real man - these days?[Lauren Bacall] Quote:Find me a man who's interesting enough to have dinner with and I'll be happy.[Lauren Bacall] Quote:A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:How many observe Christ's birthday! How few, his precepts! O! 'tis easier to keep holidays than commandments.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:It is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness and I pronounce it as certain that there was never a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Marriage is the most natural state of man, and the state in which you will find solid happiness.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Words may show a man's wit but actions his meaning.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Suicide is man's way of telling God, 'You can't fire me - I quit.'[Bill Maher] Quote:Have a vision. Be demanding.[Colin Powell] Quote:A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.[Mark Twain] Quote:Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.[Mark Twain] Quote:Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let me label you as they may.[Mark Twain] Quote:Humor is mankind's greatest blessing.[Mark Twain] Quote:I don't give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way.[Mark Twain] Quote:I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.[Mark Twain] Quote:Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.[Mark Twain] Quote:The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance... logic can be happily tossed out the window.[Stephen King] Quote:This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.[Saint Augustine] Quote:We ascribe beauty to that which is simple; which has no superfluous parts; which exactly answers its end; which stands related to all things; which is the mean of many extremes.[Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:Ignore death up to the last moment; then, when it can't be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh?[Aldous Huxley] Quote:Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:Human beings are the only creatures that allow their children to come back home.[Bill Cosby] Quote:It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime.[Thomas Paine] Quote:It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:We demand that big business give the people a square deal; in return we must insist that when anyone engaged in big business honestly endeavors to do right he shall himself be given a square deal.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Avoid the base hypocrisy of condemning in one man what you pass over in silence when committed by another.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:It is both foolish and wicked to teach the average man who is not well off that some wrong or injustice has been done him, and that he should hope for redress elsewhere than in his own industry, honesty, and intelligence.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty... I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led diffcult lives and led them well.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:War with evil; but show no spirit of malignity toward the man who may be responsible for the evil. Put it out of his power to do wrong.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.[George Washington] Quote:It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it.[George Washington] Quote:My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth.[George Washington] Quote:A woman never forgets the men she could have had; a man, the women he couldn't.[Edward A. Murphy] Quote:I haven't been with a woman in nine months.[Mike Tyson] Quote:They (Christians) would throw me in jail and write bad articles about me and then go to church on Sunday and say Jesus is a wonderful man and he's coming back to save us. But they don't understand that when he comes back, that these crazy greedy capitalistic men are gonna kill him again.[Mike Tyson] Quote:I couldn't tell if the streaker was a man or a woman because it had a bag on it's head.[Yogi Berra] Quote:There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things and because it takes a man's life to know them the little new that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave.[Ernest Hemingway] Quote:When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.[Mark Twain] Quote:If a man does his best, what else is there?[George Patton] Quote:Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.[Albert Einstein] Quote:I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic.

That's not the place to become discouraged.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.[Thomas Edison] Quote:There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever.[Thomas Edison] Quote:What a man's mind can create, man's character can control.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind.[John F. Kennedy] Quote:Blessed is the man, who having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact.[George Eliot] Quote:It is hard, if not impossible, to snub a beautiful woman - they remain beautiful and the rebuke recoils.[Winston Churchill] Quote:It's not about finding the right man, it's about being the right woman.[Debby Jones] Quote:In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man; if you want anything done, ask a woman.[Margaret Thatcher] Quote:Art is man's expression of his joy in labor.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:If the businessman would stop talking like a computer printout or a page from the corporate annual report, other people would stop thinking he had a cash register for a heart.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.[Confucius] Quote:Ability will never catch up with the demand for it.[Confucius] Quote:Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.[Elbert Hubbard] Quote:The young man knows the rules, but the old man knows the exceptions.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:Beware how you take away hope from another human being.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:Science is a first-rate piece of furniture for a man's upper chamber, if he has common sense on the ground floor.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:To have doubted one's own first principles is the mark of a civilized man.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:Religion operates not only on the vertical plane but also on the horizontal. It seeks not only to integrate men with God but to integrate men with men and each man with himself.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:What do I know about sex? I'm a married man.[Tom Clancy] Quote:Hosting the Oscars is like making love to a beautiful woman - it's something I only get to do when Billy Crystal's out of town.[Steve Martin] Quote:Don't have sex man. It leads to kissing and pretty soon you have to start talking to them.[Steve Martin] Quote:There is one thing I would break up over, and that is if she caught me with another woman. I won't stand for that.[Steve Martin] Quote:What you cannot enforce, do not command.[Socrates] Quote:Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs; therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity, or undue depression in adversity.[Socrates] Quote:If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it.[Socrates] Quote:As to marriage or celibacy, let a man take which course he will; he will be sure to repent it.[Socrates] Quote:To dare to live alone is the rarest courage; since there are many who had rather meet their bitterest enemy in the field, than their own hearts in their closet.[Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand.[Josh Billings] Quote:Power over a man's subsistence is power over his will.[Alexander Hamilton] Quote:The man who regards life as meaningless is not merely unfortunate, but almost disqualified for life.[Albert Einstein] Quote:What makes us men is that we can think logically. What makes us human is that we sometimes choose not to.[Roger Ebert] Quote:Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Our true nationality is mankind.[H.G. Wells] Quote:That woman speaks eighteen languages and she can't say 'no' in any one of them.[Dorothy Parker] Quote:Of the delights of this world man cares most for sexual intercourse, yet he has left it out of his heaven.[Mark Twain] Quote:A man in love is incomplete until he has married. Then he's finished.[Zsa Zsa Gabor] Quote:Getting divorced just because you don't love a man is almost as silly as getting married just because you do.[Zsa Zsa Gabor] Quote:Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.[Abraham Lincoln] Quote:The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:The only thing worse than a man you can't control is a man you can.[Margo Kaufman] Quote:The second half of a man's life is made up of nothing but the habits he has acquired during the first half.[Fyodor Dostoevsky] Quote:Any man who afflicts the human race with ideas must be prepared to see them misunderstood.[Henry Mencken] Quote:The problem is not that we have too many fools, it's that the lightning isn't distributed right.[Mark Twain] Quote:I arrive at the end of this review having done my duty as a critic. I have described the movie accurately and you have a good idea what you are in for if you go to see it. Most of you will not. I cannot argue with you. Some of you will--the brave and the curious. You embody the spirit of the man who first wondered what it would taste like to eat an oyster.[Roger Ebert] Quote:Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.[Colin Powell] Quote:I could not handle being a woman, I would stay home all day and play with my breasts.[Steve Martin] Quote:Woman are meant to be loved, not to be understood.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:A man only curses because he doesn't know the words to express what is on his mind.[Malcolm X] Quote:Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses and avoids.[Aristotle] Quote:What a man's mind can create, man's character can control.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Every man over forty is a scoundrel.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:At least five times...with the Arian and the Albigensian, with the Humanist sceptic, after Voltaire and after Darwin, the Faith has to all appearance gone to the dogs. In each of these five cases it was the dog that died.[GK Chesterton] Quote:As a woman, I find it very embarrassing to be in a meeting and realize I'm the only one in the room with balls.[Rita Mae Brown] Quote:More than any time in history mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness, the other to total extinction. Let us pray that we have the wisdom to choose correctly.[Woody Allen] Quote:Anyone who is not an anarchist agrees with having a policeman at the corner of the street; but the danger at present is that of finding the policeman half-way down the chimney or even under the bed.[GK Chesterton] Quote:Abolition of a woman's right to abortion, when and if she wants it, amounts to compulsory maternity: a form of rape by the State.[Edward Abbey] Quote:Philosophy: A route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:The one permanent emotion of the inferior man is fear - fear of the unknown, the complex, the inexplicable. What he wants above everything else is safety.[Henry Mencken] Quote:Fear makes us feel our humanity.[Benjamin Disraeli] Quote:Sex between a man and a woman can be absolutely wonderful - provided you get between the right man and the right woman.[Woody Allen] Quote:No sooner do we depart from sense and instinct to follow reason but we are insensibly drawn into uncouth paradoxes, difficulties, and inconsistencies, which multiply and grow upon us as we advance in speculation; till at length, having wandered through many intricate mazes, we find ourselves just where we were, or, which is worse, sit down in a forlorn scepticism.[George Berkeley] Quote:Were it possible for us to wait for ourselves to come into the room, not many of us would find our hearts breaking into flower as we heard the door handle turn.[Rebecca West] Quote:To wage a war for a purely moral reason is as absurd as to ravish a woman for a purely moral reason.[Henry Mencken] Quote:If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow] Quote:A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that's unlocked and opens inwards; as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push.[Ludwig Wittgenstein] Quote:Every act and event is the inevitable result of prior acts and events and is independent of human will.[Karl Marx] Quote:Hanging is too good for a man who makes puns -- he should be drawn and quoted.[Fred Allen] Quote:Nature thrives on patience; man on impatience.[Paul Boese] Quote:I hate the giving of the hand unless the whole man accompanies it.[Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:Give a man a free hand and he'll run it all over you.[Mae West] Quote:Music makes one feel so romantic - at least it always gets on one's nerves - which is the same thing nowadays.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:It's easier to build a boy than to mend a man.[Charles Gavin] Quote:We've got to live. No matter how many skies have fallen.[D.H. Lawrence] Quote:A man must be willing to die for justice. Death is an inescapable reality and men die daily, but good deeds live forever.[Jesse Jackson] Quote:I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:Campaign behavior for wives: Always be on time. Do as little talking as humanly possible. Lean back in the parade car so everybody can see the president.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:To be wise and love exceeds man's might.[William Shakespeare] Quote:A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.[Francis Bacon] Quote:Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.[Siddhartha Buddha] Quote:The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenatrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sent iment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself amoung profoundly religious men.[Albert Einstein] Quote:The wise man always throws himself on the side of his assailants. It is more his interest than it is theirs to find his weak point.[Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.[Baltasar Gracian] Quote:A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.[Baltasar Gracian] Quote:One deceit needs many others, and so the whole house is built in the air and must soon come to the ground.[Baltasar Gracian] Quote:Life is but a brief moment. The years go by quickly and old age arrives suddenly before we have an inkling. People desire so many things and waste their days in vain. Some yearn for gold, others for power, yet others for glory and a higher station. But when death's moment nears and they look back at their lives they've lived, they realise they've been happy only during those moments when they've loved.[Borje Vahamaki] Quote:Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men. The other 999 follow women.[Groucho Marx] Quote:Being with a woman never hurt no professional ball player. It's staying up all night looking for a woman that does him in.[Casey Stengel] Quote:The man who carries a cat by the tail learns something that can be learned in no other way.[Mark Twain] Quote:To know what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty...this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.[Albert Einstein] Quote:No woman has an abortion for fun.[Joan Smith] Quote:The public health authorities never mention the main reason many Americans have for smoking heavily, which is that smoking is a fairly sure, fairly honorable form of suicide.[Kurt Vonnegut] Quote:There is an immense, painful longing for a broader, more flexible, fuller, more coherent, more comprehensive account of what we human beings are, who we are, and what this life is for.[Saul Bellow] Quote:Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:Gandhi was inevitable. If humanity is to progress, Gandhi is inescapable. He lived, thought and acted, inspired by the vision of humanity evolving toward a world of peace and harmony. We may ignore Gandhi at our own risk.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:If devotion to truth is the hallmark of morality, then there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking...the alleged short-cut to knowledge, which is faith, is only a short-circuit destroying the mind.[Ayn Rand] Quote:An intelligence test sometimes shows a man how smart he would have been not to have taken it.[Laurence Peter] Quote:I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings.[Margaret Mead] Quote:The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.[Benjamin Disraeli] Quote:I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.[Thomas Paine] Quote:Having someone wonder where you are when you don't come home at night is a very old human need.[Margaret Mead] Quote:I mistrust the judgment of every man in a case in which his own wishes are concerned.[Daniel Webster] Quote:Justice, sir, is the great interest of man on earth. It is the ligament which holds civilized beings and civilized nations together.[Daniel Webster] Quote:Let us not forget that the cultivation of the earth is the most important labor of man. When tillage begins, other arts will follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of civilization.[Daniel Webster] Quote:If there is one sound the follows the march of humanity, it is the scream.[David Gemmell] Quote:A man who never made a mistake never made anything.[David Gemmell] Quote:I viewed my fellow man not as a fallen angel, but as a risen ape.[Desmond Morris] Quote:Experience has taught me that there is one chief reason why some people succeed and others fail. The difference is not one of knowing, but of doing. The successful man is not so superior in ability as in action. So far as success can be reduced to a formula, it consists of this: doing what you know you should do.[Roger Babson] Quote:I think luck is the sense to recognize an opportunity and the ability to take advantage of it... The man who can smile at his breaks and grab his chances gets on.[Samuel Goldwyn] Quote:If a man has talent and can't use it, he's failed. If he uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he uses the whole of it, he has succeeded, and won a satisfaction and triumph few men ever know.[Thomas Wolfe] Quote:Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home![Charles Dickens] Quote:A failure is a man who has blundered, but is not able to cash in on the experience.[Elbert Hubbard] Quote:A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.[William James] Quote:If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.[Katherine Hepburn] Quote:A man's kiss is his signature.[Mae West] Quote:What we humans are is really a remarkable thing. How can you doubt that we will survive and mature? There may be a lot of wisdom in the old statement about looking on the world lovingly. If we can, perhaps the world will have time to resolve itself.[Gene Roddenberry] Quote:Ocean: A body of water occupying 2/3 of a world made for man...who has no gills.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:Why, you can take the most gallant sailor, the most intrepid airman or the most audacious soldier, put them at a table together - what do you get? The sum of their fears.[Winston Churchill] Quote:I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence.[J.R.R. Tolkien] Quote:The intelligent man finds almost everything ridiculous, the sensible man hardly anything.[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe] Quote:A man can stand anything except a succession of ordinary days.[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe] Quote:Against criticism a man can neither protest nor defend himself; he must act in spite of it, and then it will gradually yield to him.[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe] Quote:If any man wish to write in a clear style, let him be first clear in his thoughts; and if any would write in a noble style, let him first possess a noble soul.[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe] Quote:In doubt a man of worth will trust to his own wisdom.[J.R.R. Tolkien] 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:It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own neccessities but of their advantages.[Adam Smith] Quote:The uniform, constant and uninterrupted effort of every man to better his condition, the principle from which public and national, as well as private opulence is originally derived, is frequently powerful enough to maintain the natural progress of things toward improvement, in spite both of the extravagance of government, and of the greatest errors of administration. Like the unknown principle of animal life, it frequently restores health and vigour to the constitution, in spite, not only of the disease, but of the absurd prescriptions of the doctor.[Adam Smith] Quote:Such is the delicacy of man alone, that no object is produced to his liking. He finds that in everything there is need for improvement. The whole industry of human life is employed not in procuring the supply of our three humble necessities, food, clothes and lodging, but in procuring the conveniences of it according to the nicety and delicacy of our tastes.[Adam Smith] Quote:Every individual...generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention.[Adam Smith] Quote:How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it.[Adam Smith] Quote:Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?[George Carlin] Quote:Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork picnic baskets. Imagination without skill gives us modern art.[Tom Stoppard] Quote:It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:Imagination is a quality given a man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.[Mark Twain] Quote:I believe that our Heavenly Father invented man because he was disappointed in the monkey.[Mark Twain] Quote:Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never taste of death but once.[William Shakespeare] Quote:In my heart, I think a woman has two choices: Either she's a feminist or a masochist.[Gloria Steinem] Quote:But could not our situation be compared to one of a menacing epidemic? People are unable to view this situation in its true light, for their eyes are blinded by passion. General fear and anxiety create hatred and aggressiveness. The adaptation to warlike aims and activities has corrupted the mentality of man; as a result, intelligent, objective and humane thinking has hardly any effect and is even suspected and persecuted as unpatriotic.[Albert Einstein] Quote:An angry man is unfit to pray.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:A man's drive for profit should be prompted by the desire to give charity.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:A man should believe in God through faith, not because of miracles.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:A poor but humble man who gives nothing to charity is preferrable to a rich but haughty man who does.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:Before reciting his prayers, a man should give to charity.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:Every author should weigh his work and ask, 'Will humanity gain any benefit from it?'[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:If we do not help a man in trouble, it is as if we caused the trouble.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:The man who acts humble in order to win praise is guilty of the lowest form of pride.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:The man who disobeys his parents will have disobedient sons.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:When a man is able to take abuse with a smile, he is worthy to become a leader.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead.[Erna Bombeck] Quote:If a man can beat you, walk him.[Satchel Paige] Quote:A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:I cried because I had no shoes, 'till I met a man who had no feet. So I said, 'You got any shoes you're not using'?[Steven Wright] Quote:The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.[Alfred Hitchcock] Quote:You are not permitted to kill a woman who has wronged you, but nothing forbids you to reflect that she is growing older every minute. You are avenged 1440 times a day.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:Politics are almost as exciting as war and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics, many times.[Winston Churchill] Quote:I never hated a man enough to give him diamonds back.[Zsa Zsa Gabor] Quote:There are worlds of experience beyond the world of the aggressive man, beyond history, and beyond science. The moods and qualities of nature and the revelations of great art are equally difficult to define; we can grasp them only in the depths of our perceptive spirit.[Ansel Adams] Quote:To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things.[Ansel Adams] Quote:The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.[Muhammad Ali] Quote:I've seen George Foreman shadow boxing and the shadow won.[Muhammad Ali] Quote:What ought to be done to the man who invented the celebrating of anniversaries? Mere killing would be too light.[Mark Twain] Quote:Of all the animals, man is the only one that lies.[Mark Twain] Quote:Facts are ventriloquists dummies. Sitting on a wise man's knee they may be made to utter words of wisdom; elsewhere, they say nothing, or talk nonsense, or indulge in sheer diabolism.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you're looking down, you can't see something that's above you.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.[William Shakespeare] Quote:There are three things which are real: God, human folly, and laughter. The first two are beyond our comprehension. So we must do what we can with the third.[John F. Kennedy] Quote:A woman seldom asks advice before she has bought her wedding clothes.[Joseph Addison] 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:The more often a man feels without acting, the less he'll be able to act. And in the long run, the less he'll be able to feel.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:The Social Contract is nothing more or less than a vast conspiracy of human beings to lie to and humbug themselves and one another for the general good. Lies are the mortar that bind the savage individual man into the social masonry.[H.G. Wells] Quote:Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man?s original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:It is our true policy to steer clear of any permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.[George Washington] Quote:For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances as though they were realities. and are often more influenced by things that seem than by those that are.[Nicolo Machiavelli] Quote:Rome remained free for four hundred years and Sparta eight hundred, although their citizens were armed all that time; but many other states that have been disarmed have lost their liberties in less than forty years.[Nicolo Machiavelli] Quote:God never gave man a thing to do concerning which it were irreverent to ponder how the Son of God would have done it.[George MacDonald] Quote:In giving, a man receives more than he gives, and the more is in proportion to the worth of the thing given.[George MacDonald] Quote:Human beings, all over the earth, have this curious idea that they ought to behave in a certain way, and can't really get rid of it.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:To write history one must be more than a man, since the author who holds the pen of this great justiciary must be free from all preoccupation of interest or vanity.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:Man [has] always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much-the wheel, New York, wars and so on-while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man-for precisely the same reason.[Douglas Adams] Quote:Ridicule is generally made use of to laugh men out of virtue and good sense, by attacking everything praiseworthy in human life.[Joseph Addison] Quote:What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.[Joseph Addison] Quote:Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action![Albert Einstein] Quote:A man is measured by the size of things that anger him.[Geof Greenleaf] Quote:I wish I had a kryptonite cross, because then you could keep both Dracula AND Superman away.[Jack Handey] Quote:A man doesn't automatically get my respect. He has to get down in the dirt and beg for it.[Jack Handey] Quote:It still remains true that no justification of virtue will enable a man to be virtuous.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Morality, like numinous awe, is a jump; in it, man goes beyond anything that can be 'given' in the facts of experience.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.[Elbert Hubbard] Quote:If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thru' narrow chinks of his cavern.[William Blake] Quote:This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.[William Shakespeare] Quote:Nothing so dates a man as to decry the younger generation.[Adlai Stevenson] Quote:?Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.[Dale Carnegie] Quote:A man does what he must, in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures, and that is the basis of all human morality.[John F. Kennedy] Quote:All malice has injustice at it's end, an end achieved by violence or by fraud; while both are sins that earn the hate of heaven, since fraud belongs exclusively to man, God hates it more and, therefore, far below, the fraudulent are placed and suffer most.[Dante Alighieri] Quote:Every day, man is making bigger and better fool-proof things, and every day, nature is making bigger and better fools. So far, I think nature is winning.[Albert Einstein] Quote:He is a very modest man with a great deal to be modest about.[Winston Churchill] Quote:I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection.[Thomas Paine] Quote:Feminism is the radical notion that women are human beings.[Cheris Kramerae] Quote:A woman has to be twice as good as a man to go half as far.[Fannie Hurst] Quote:No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation.[Douglas MacArthur] Quote:A man doesnt want a child he is a dead beat dad.

The man who makes a bad thirty-minute speech to two hundred people wastes only a half hour of his own time. But he wastes one hundred hours of the audience's time - more than four days - which should be a hanging offense.[Jenkin Lloyd Jones] Quote:The President of the United States hears a hundred voices telling him that he is the greatest man in the world. He must listen carefully to hear the one voice that tells him he's not.[Harry Truman] Quote:Don't marry a man to reform him - that's what reform schools are for.[Mae West] Quote:Many a man owes his success to his first wife and his second wife to his success.[Jim Backus] Quote:Nobody in football should be called a genius.

Everything that heightens the feeling of power in man, the will to power, power itself.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:The fact that a believer is happier than a sceptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.

When in doubt, route.[Malcolm Forbes] Quote:I think that much of the advice given to young men about saving money is wrong. I never saved a cent until I was forty years old.

Many a man who is putting a few dollars a week into the bank would do much better to put it into himself.[Henry Ford] Quote:I worship God as Truth only. I have not yet found Him, but I am seeking after Him. I am prepared to sacrifice the things dearest to me in pursuit of this quest.

But for every man there exists a bait which he cannot resist swallowing. To win over certain people to something, it is only necessary to give it a gloss of love of humanity, nobility, gentleness, self-sacrifice - and there is nothing you cannot get them to swallow. To their souls, these are the icing, the tidbit; other kinds of souls have others.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:At the bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique human being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Morality is the greatest of all tools for leading mankind by the nose.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:The whole problem can be stated quite simply by asking, 'Is there a meaning to music?'

[Earl Warren] Quote:Humor is by far the most significant activity of the human brain. [Horace Walpole] Quote:A bore is a man who, when you ask him how he is, tells you. [Dylan Thomas] Quote:I love life...Yeah, I'm sad, but at the same time, I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like...It makes me feel alive, you know. It makes me feel human. The only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I'm feeling is like a beautiful sadness. [Trey Parker and Matt Stone] Quote:No man ever listened himself out of a job. [Calvin Coolidge] Quote:The best measure of a man's honesty isn't his income tax return. It's the zero adjust on his bathroom scale. [Arthur C. Clarke] Quote:I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. [E. B. White] Quote:Any piece of clothing can be sexy with a quietly passionate woman inside it. [Anonymous] Quote:Don't judge a man by his opinions, but what his opinions have made of him. [Georg Christoph Lichtenberg] Quote:You cannot have a proud and chivalrous spirit if your conduct is mean and paltry; for whatever a man's actions are, such must be his spirit. [Demosthenes] Quote:In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's mind there are few. [Virgil] Quote:A man should not leave this earth with unfinished business. He should live each day as if it was a pre-flight check. He should ask each morning, am I prepared to lift-off? [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Marriage. It's a hard term to define. Especially for me--I've ducked it like root canal. Still there's no denying the fact that marriage ranks right up there with birth and death as one of the three biggies in the human safari. It's the only one though that we'll celebrate with a conscious awareness. Very few of you remember your arrival and even fewer of you will attend your own funeral. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:One has a greater sense of intellectual degradation after an interview with a doctor than from any human experience. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Men are confused. They're conflicted. They want a woman who's their intellectual equal, but they're afraid of women like that. They want a woman they can dominate, but then they hate her for being weak. It's an ambivalence that goes back to a man's relationship with his mother. Source of his life, center of his universe, object of both his fear and his love. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:What are man and woman if not members of two very different and warring tribes? Yet decade after decade, century after century, they attempt in marriage to reconcile and forge a union. Why? I don't know. Biological imperative? Divine law? Or just a desire to connect to that mysterious other? In any case, it's always struck me as a hopeful thing. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:It's just human. We all have the jungle inside of us. We all have wants and needs and desires, strange as they may seem. If you stop to think about it, we're all pretty creative, cooking up all these fantasies. it's like a kind of poetry. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:The man who has confidence in himself gains the confidence of others. [Hasidic Saying] Quote:We have too many high sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them.

[Carl Sandburg] Quote:For people to judge a man's worth and his very manhood according to the way he feels about sport, and not to recognize it for the piddly, inconsequential goings on that it really is... [Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess] Quote:You think a man is a man cause he wears team colors and guzzles beer in front of the tube? Can't you see, boys, the sands of time are dribbling through the hourglass? [Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess] Quote:Good advice is something a man gives when he is too old to set a bad example. [Francois de La Rochefoucauld] Quote:The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from animals.

Kennedy] Quote:An economist is a man who states the obvious in terms of the incomprehensible.

Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from. [Al Franken] Quote:Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him. [Cicero] Quote:Martyrdom... is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact than a drunken man is happier than a sober one.

[Robertson Davies] Quote:Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death. [Lord Acton] Quote:The true civilization is where every man gives to every other every right that he claims for himself.

[Neil Armstrong] Quote:So much of what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work. [Peter Drucker] Quote:Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death....

[Bertrand Russell] Quote:It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:Passive acceptance of the teacher's wisdom is easy to most boys and girls. It involves no effort of independent thought, and seems rational because the teacher knows more than his pupils; it is moreover the way to win the favour of the teacher unless he is a very exceptional man. Yet the habit of passive acceptance is a disastrous one in later life. It causes man to seek and to accept a leader, and to accept as a leader whoever is established in that position.

[Plato] Quote:When there is an income tax, the just man will pay more and the unjust less on the same amount of income. [Plato] Quote:Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism.
