Rather, we should thank God that such men lived.[George Patton] 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... A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.[C.S.

So I am told; I have not noticed it.[Bertrand Russell] 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:I recently had my annual physical examination, which I get once every seven years, and when the nurse weighed me, I was shocked to discover how much stronger the Earth's gravitational pull has become since 1990.[Dave Barry] Quote:We'll try to cooperate fully with the IRS, because, as citizens, we feel a strong patriotic duty not to go to jail.[Dave Barry] Quote:The humblest citizen of all the land; when clad in the armour of a righteous cause; is stronger than all the hosts of Error.[William Jennings Bryan] 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:A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.[Robert Frost] Quote:Have you ever heard people say 'don't sweat the details'? Well, they're wrong: sweat the details. They have a name for people who sweat the details: millionaires.[Jerry Bowyer] Quote:Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.[Benjamin Franklin] 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:No; we have been as usual asking the wrong question. It does not matter a hoot what the mockingbird on the chimney is singing. The real and proper question is: Why is it beautiful?[Annie Dillard] Quote:Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.[Bill Cosby] Quote:A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.[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: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: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 made a wrong mistake.[Yogi Berra] Quote:Some national parks have long waiting lists for camping reservations. When you have to wait a year to sleep next to a tree, something is wrong.[George Carlin] Quote:An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered.[GK Chesterton] Quote:I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Some regard private enterprise as if it were a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look upon it as a cow that they can milk. Only a handful see it for what it really is--the strong horse that pulls the whole cart.[Winston Churchill] Quote:I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:Don't take the wrong side of an argument just because your opponent has taken the right side.[Baltasar Gracian] Quote:Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies.[Groucho Marx] Quote:'My country, right or wrong' is a thing no patriot would ever think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying 'My mother, drunk or sober.'[GK Chesterton] Quote:It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.[Patrick Henry] Quote:Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions.[Daniel Webster] Quote:People who say you're just as old as you feel are all wrong, fortunately.[Russell Baker] Quote:Christmas is the gentlest, loveliest festival of the revolving year. And yet, for all that, when it speaks, its voice has strong authority.[W.J. Cameron] Quote:Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies.[Groucho Marx] Quote:No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.[Albert Einstein] Quote:A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water.[Eleanor Roosevelt] 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.

It's staying down that's wrong.[Muhammad Ali] Quote:I am a strong believer in luck and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.[Benjamin Franklin] 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: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. I invested in myself - in study, in mastering my tools, in preparation.

[Ovid] Quote:You think Nature is some Disney movie? Nature is a killer. Nature is a bitch. It's feeding time out there 24 hours a day, every step that you take is a gamble with death. If it isn't getting hit with lightning today, it's an earthquake tomorrow or some deer tick carrying Lime disease. Either way, you're ending up on the wrong end of the food chain. [Jeff Melvoin] Quote:If an elderly but distinguished scientist says that something is possible he is almost certainly right, but if he says that it is impossible he is very probably wrong. [Arthur C. Clarke] Quote:Why do strong arms fatigue themselves with frivolous dumbbells? To dig a vineyard is worthier exercise for men. [Marcus Valerius Martialis] Quote:Formerly, when religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for medicine; now, when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake medicine for magic. [Thomas Szasz] Quote:When the judgement's weak,<br> The prejudice is strong. [Laurence J. Peter] Quote:The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn't matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark. [Barbara Hall] Quote:To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. [Joseph Chilton Pearce] Quote:If you can find something everyone agrees on, it's wrong. [Oscar Wilde] Quote:Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't the fine line between sanity and madness gotten finer? [Heinrich Heine] Quote:The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice. [George Eliot] Quote:The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. [Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom.

[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative. [Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:"My country, right or wrong," is a thing that no patriot would think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying, "My mother, drunk or sober." [G. K. Chesterton] Quote:The universe seems wondrous to me, with or without God. It has powerful lines and uncompromising ways. Patience and time sit like sages on the planets, strong and impersonal. There is a stark beauty to all of this. [Real Live Preacher] Quote:Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle. [Real Live Preacher] Quote:I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:It shouldn't be too much of a surprise that the Internet has evolved into a force strong enough to reflect the greatest hopes and fears of those who use it. After all, it was designed to withstand nuclear war, not just the puny huffs and puffs of politicians and religious fanatics. [Penn Jillette] 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.
