| 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:The first two facts which a healthy boy or girl feels about sex are these: first that it is beautiful and then that it is dangerous.[GK Chesterton] Quote:Although golf was originally restricted to wealthy, overweight Protestants, today it's open to anybody who owns hideous clothing.[Dave Barry] 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:As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality.[George Washington] Quote:Sex without love is merely healthy exercise.[Robert Heinlein] Quote:Both tears and sweat are salty, but they render a different result. Tears will get you sympathy; sweat will get you change.[Jesse Jackson] Quote:The definition of success--To laugh much; to win respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one's self; to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition.; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived--this is to have succeeded.[Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:When a man is able to take abuse with a smile, he is worthy to become a leader.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:Drive thy business or it will drive thee.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to get leisure.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:When we are out of sympathy with the young, then I think our work in this world is over.[George MacDonald] Quote:Ridicule is generally made use of to laugh men out of virtue and good sense, by attacking everything praiseworthy in human life.[Joseph Addison] Quote:Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full the resources that are within thy reach. [Pindar] Quote:Drive thy business or it will drive thee. [Benjamin Franklin] Quote:If you would be wealthy, think of saving as well as getting. [Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Search others for their virtues, thyself for thy vices. [Benjamin Franklin] Quote:The quality of mercy is not strain'd, <br>It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven <br>Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: <br>It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. <br>'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes <br>The throned monarch better than his crown; <br>His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, <br>The attribute to awe and majesty, <br>Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; <br>But mercy is above this sceptred sway, <br>It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, <br>It is an attribute to God himself; <br>And earthly power doth then show likest God's, <br>When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, <br>Though justice be thy plea, consider this, <br>That in the course of justice none of us <br>Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; <br>And that same prayer doth teach us all to render <br>The deeds of mercy. [William Shakespeare] Quote:It's no longer a question of staying healthy. It's a question of finding a sickness you like. [Jackie Mason] Quote:Let thy speech be short, comprehending much in a few words. [Aristophanes] Quote:Judge thyself with the judgment of sincerity, and thou will judge others with the judgment of charity. [Jules Renard] Quote:Although golf was originally restricted to wealthy, overweight Protestants, today it's open to anybody who owns hideous clothing. [Dave Barry] Quote:It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err. [Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:Laughter is by definition healthy. [Doris Lessing] Quote:Be not ashamed of thy virtues; honor's a good brooch to wear in a man's hat at all times. [H. L. Mencken] Quote:A healthy male adult bore consumes each year one and a half times his own weight in other people's patience. [John Updike] Definitions of: thyDefinition: Of thee, or belonging to thee; the more common form of thine, possessive case of thou; -- used always attributively, and chiefly in the solemn or grave style, and in poetry. Thine is used in the predicate; as, the knife is thine. See Thine. |
