| Quote:A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:For those who believe, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not believe, no explanation is possible.[Author Unknown] Quote:Fantasy is a necessary ingrediant in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.[Theodor Seuss Geisel] Quote:We should enact an 'e' tax. Government agents would roam the country looking for stores whose names contained any word that ended in an unnecessary 'e,' such as 'shoppe' or 'olde,' and the owners of these stores would be taxed at a flat rate of $50,000 per year per 'e.' We should also consider an additional $50,000 'ye' tax, so that the owner of a store called 'Ye Olde Shoppe' would have to fork over $150,000 a year. In extreme cases, such as 'Ye Olde Barne Shoppe,' the owner would simply be taken outside and shot.[Dave Barry] Quote:The books all say that barracuda rarely eat people, but very few barracuda can read, and they have far more teeth than would be necessary for a strictly seafood diet. Their mouths look like the entire $39.95 set of Ginsu knives, including the handy Arm Slicer.[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:I never took hallucinogenic drugs because I never wanted my consciousness expanded one unnecessary iota.[Fran Lebowitz] Quote:A word to the wise ain't necessary -- it's the stupid ones that need the advice.[Bill Cosby] Quote:Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.[Thomas Paine] Quote:We are so concerned to flatter the majority that we lose sight of how very often it is necessary, in order to preserve freedom for the minority,let alone for the individual, to face that majority down.[William F. Buckley] Quote:To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.[Thomas Aquinas] Quote:War can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun.[Mao Zedong] Quote:We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:The world is governed more by appearances than realities, so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it.[Daniel Webster] 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:Consumption is the sole end and purpose of all production; and the interest of the producer ought to be attended to, only so far as it may be necessary for promoting that of the consumer.[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:A little government and a little luck are necessary in life, but only a fool trusts either of them.[P.J. O'Rourke] 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:"Every man has his price." This is not true. 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:All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. [Edmund Burke] Quote:You signed a contract. But much more important than that, you gave your word. And I intend to hold you to that word within the bounds of the law. If necessary, without the bounds of the law. [Josh Brand and John Falsey] Quote:First it is necessary to stand on your own two feet. But the minute a man finds himself in that position, the next thing he should do is reach out his arms. [Margaret Mead] Quote:A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.
