| Quote:A man of genius has been seldom ruined but by himself.[Samuel Johnson] Quote:The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.[GK Chesterton] Quote:Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.[George Washington] Quote:Love is the idler's occupation, the warrior's relaxation, and the soverign's ruination.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that; I'm right, and I will be proved right. We are more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first -- rock'n'roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.[John Lennon] Quote:It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.[Warren Buffett] Quote:Better be despised for too anxious apprehensions, than ruined by too confident security. [Edmund Burke] Quote:The first half of our lives is ruined by our parents, and the second half by our children. [Clarence Darrow] Quote:The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved. [Confucius] Quote:Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.
