| Quote:If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you, fill her above the brim with love of herself; all that runs over will be yours.[Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal. Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:There are only two forces in the world, the sword and the spirit. In the long run the sword will always be conquered by the spirit.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:Women are the only realists; their whole object in life is to pit their realism against the extravagant, excessive, and occasionally drunken idealism of men.[GK Chesterton] 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:It is best to rise from life as from a banquet, neither thirsty nor drunken.[Aristotle] Quote:You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later, when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip.[Jonathan Carroll] Quote:The heart of marriage is memories; and if the two of you happen to have the same ones and can savor your reruns, then your marriage is a gift from the gods.[Bill Cosby] Quote:Happiness consists in activity. It is running stream, not a stagnant pool.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.[Will Rogers] Quote:Too bad the only people who know how to run the country are busy driving cabs and cutting hair.[George Burns] Quote:Home is where you come when you run out of places.[Author Unknown] Quote:Give a man a free hand and he'll run it all over you.[Mae West] 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:In the long run, you only hit what you aim at.[Henry Thoreau] Quote:Dualism is a truncated metaphysic.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.[Ayn Rand] Quote:Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die, and the choices that we make are ultimately our responsibility.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.[Winston Churchill] 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:Only those who are fit to live do not fear to die. And none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same great adventure.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:I think a good gift for the president would be a chocolate revolver. And since he's so busy, you'd probably have to run up to him and hand it to him.[Jack Handey] Quote:Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk.[Jack Handey] Quote:Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.[Michael Jordan] 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. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it. [Dwight D. Eisenhower] Quote:Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut. [Ernest Hemingway] Quote:Marriage is the union of disparate elements. Male and female. Yin and yang. Proton and electron. What are we talking about here? Nothing less than the very tension that binds the universe. You see, when we look at marriage, people, we're are looking at creation itself. "I am the sky," says the Hindu bridegroom to the bride. "You are the earth. We are sky and earth united.... You are my husband. You are my wife. My feet shall run because of you. My feet shall dance because of you. My heart shall beat because of you. My eyes see because of you. My mind thinks because of you and I shall love because of you." [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] 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. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more man's nature runs to the more ought law to weed it out. [Sir Francis Bacon] Quote:Wildness. We're running out of it, even up in Alaska. People need to be reminded that the world is unsafe and unpredictable, and at a moment's notice, they could lose everything, like that. I do it to remind them that chaos is always out there, lurking beyond the horizon. That, plus, sometimes you have to do something bad, just to know you're alive. [David Assael] Quote:Wisdom is what's left after we've run out of personal opinions. [Cullen Hightower] Quote:Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure. [Helen Keller] Quote:He who builds a better mousetrap these days runs into material shortages, patent-infringement suits, work stoppages, collusive bidding, discount discrimination--and taxes." [H. L. Mencken] 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:I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.
