At least, not until the producers or the public tell you to.[T.S. Eliot] Quote:Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of its filling a vacuum, it makes one. If it satisfies one want, it doubles and trebles that want another way. That was a true proverb of the wise man, rely upon it;[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Wherever any precept of traditional morality is simply challenged to produce its credentials, as though the burden of proof lay on it, we have taken the wrong position.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Congress, after years of stalling, finally got around to clearing the way for informal discussions that might lead to possible formal talks that could potentially produce some kind of tentative agreements...[Dave Barry] Quote:The function of RAM is to give us guys a way of deciding whose computer has the biggest, studliest, most tumescent MEMORY. This is important, because with today's complex software, the more memory a computer has, the faster it can produce error messages. So the bottom line is, if you're a guy, you cannot have enough RAM.[Dave Barry] Quote:If you are really a product of a materialistic universe, how is it that you don't feel at home there?[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up.[Mark Twain] 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:There are two distinct classes of what are called thoughts: those that we produce in ourselves by reflection and the act of thinking and those that bolt into the mind of their own accord.[Thomas Paine] Quote:To love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person.[Erich Fromm] Quote:I walk on untrodden ground. There is scarcely any part of my conduct which may not hereafter be drawn into precedent.[George Washington] Quote:The most ridiculous concept ever perpetrated by Homo Sapiens is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of the Universes, wants the sacharrine adoration of his creations, that he can be persuaded by their prayers, and becomes petulant if he does not recieve this flattery. Yet this ridiculous notion, without one real shred of evidence to bolster it, has gone on to found one of the oldest, largest and least productive industries in history.[Robert Heinlein] Quote:Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:From the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire, let freedom ring. From the mighty mountains of New York, let freedom ring. From the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania, let freedom ring. But not only that: Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking.[Albert Einstein] Quote:A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:The force of public opinion cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed. The agitation it produces must be submitted to.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.[Abraham Lincoln] 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: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:A gardener who cultivates his own garden with his own hands, united in his own person the three different characters, of landlord, farmer, and labourer. His produce, therefore, should pay him the rent of the first, the profit of the second, and the wages of the third.[Adam Smith] Quote:The salvation of a single soul is more important than the production or preservation of all the epics and tragedies in the world.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Occasionally words must serve to veil the facts. But this must happen in such a way that no one becomes aware of it; or, if it should be noticed, excuses must be at hand, to be produced immediately.[Nicolo Machiavelli] Quote:You know what the fellow said: In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michaelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love--they had five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock.[Orson Welles] Quote:If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., of Materialism and Astronomy - are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true?I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents.It's like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.[C.S. Lewis] 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:You can take all the sincerity in Hollywood, place it in the navel of a firefly and still have room enough for three caraway seeds and a producer's heart. [Fred Allen] Quote:One cannot fix one's eyes on the commonest natural production without finding food for a rambling fancy. [Jane Austen] Quote:During [these] periods of relaxation after concentrated intellectual activity, the intuitive mind seems to take over and can produce the sudden clarifying insights which give so much joy and delight. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:As I see it every day you do one of two things: build health or produce disease in yourself. [Adelle Davis] Quote:[Abstract art is] a product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered. [Alfred North Whitehead] Quote:To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization, and at present very few people have reached this level. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive person. [Dr. David M.
