| Quote:Loving people live in a loving world. Hostile people live in a hostile world.[Wayne Dyer] Quote:I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.[Morgan Freeman] Quote:Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.[Mother Teresa] Quote:God help the man who won't marry until he finds a perfect woman, and God help him still more if he finds her.[Benjamin Tillet] Quote:Do not needlessly endanger your lives until I give you the signal.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:Playwriting gets into your blood and you can't stop it. At least, not until the producers or the public tell you to.[T.S. Eliot] Quote:Admit it, sport-utility-vehicle owners! It's shaped a little differently, but it's a station wagon! And you do not drive it across rivers! You drive it across the Wal-Mart parking lot![Dave Barry] Quote:Best of all is it to preserve everything in a pure, still heart, and let there be for every pulse a thanksgiving, and for every breath a song.[Konrad von Gesner] Quote:Do not compute the totality of your poultry population until all the manifestations of incubation have been entirely completed.[William Jennings Bryan] Quote:And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store? What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more?[Theodor Seuss Geisel] Quote:The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.[Robert Frost] Quote:It doesn't matter how many people I've killed. What matters is how I get along with the people who are still alive.[Bruce Willis] Quote:Back in the old days, most families were close-knit. Grown children and their parents continued to live together, under the same roof, sometimes in the same small, crowded room, year in and year out, until they died, frequently by strangulation.[Dave Barry] Quote:We humans do not need to leave Earth to get to a hostile, deadly, alien environment; we already have Miami.[Dave Barry] 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:In some versions of my original contest column I had proposed, in a lighthearted manner, that we reduce the deficit by 'selling unnecessary states such as Oklahoma to the Japanese.' This caused a number of Oklahomans to send in letters containing many correctly spelled words and making the central lighthearted point that I am a jerk. They also sent me official literature stating that Oklahoma has enormous quantities of culture in the form of ballet, Oral Roberts, etc., and that the Official State Reptile -- I am not making this up -- is something called the 'Mountain Boomer.' So I apologize to Oklahoma, and as a token of my sincerity I'm willing to sell my state, Florida, to the Japanese, assuming nobody objects to the fact that Japan would suddenly become the most heavily armed nation on Earth.[Dave Barry] Quote:A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:A man doesn't know what he knows until he knows what he doesn't know.[Laurence Peter] 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:Women cannot complain about men anymore until they start getting better taste in them.[Bill Maher] Quote:You don't know what you can get away with until you try.[Colin Powell] Quote:A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.[Mark Twain] Quote:Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.[Mark Twain] Quote:Over grown military establishments are under any form of government inauspicious to liberty, and are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty.[George Washington] Quote:It ain't over till it's over.[Yogi Berra] Quote:From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.[Groucho Marx] Quote:Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.[Thomas Edison] Quote:I don't generally feel anything until noon, then it's time for my nap.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it.[Socrates] Quote:Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep burning, unquenchable.[Henry Ward Beecher] Quote:A man in love is incomplete until he has married. Then he's finished.[Zsa Zsa Gabor] Quote:No sooner do we depart from sense and instinct to follow reason but we are insensibly drawn into uncouth paradoxes, difficulties, and inconsistencies, which multiply and grow upon us as we advance in speculation; till at length, having wandered through many intricate mazes, we find ourselves just where we were, or, which is worse, sit down in a forlorn scepticism.[George Berkeley] Quote:Until you do what you believe in, how do you know whether you believe in it or not?[Leo Tolstoy] Quote:If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow] Quote:I still have my feet on the ground, I just wear better shoes.[Oprah Winfrey] Quote:Ambition is pitiless. Any merit that it cannot use it finds despicable.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.[Robert Frost] Quote:The women of this Nation still retain the liberty to control their destinies. But the signs are evident and very ominous, and a chill wind blows.[Harry Blackmun] Quote:It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.[Anne Frank] Quote:Think of all the beauty that's still left in and around you, and be happy.[Anne Frank] Quote:In any fairly large and talkative community such as a university there is always the danger that those who think alike should gravitate together where they will henceforth encounter opposition only in the emasculated form of rumour that the outsiders say thus and thus. The absent are easily refuted, complacent dogmatism thrives, and differences of opinion are embittered by the group hostility. Each group hears not the best, but the worst, that the other group can say.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.[Zig Ziglar] Quote:If we work upon marble, it will perish; if we work upon brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds and instill into them just principles, we are then engraving that upon tablets which no time will efface, but will brighten and brighten to all eternity.[Daniel Webster] Quote:Let us not forget that the cultivation of the earth is the most important labor of man. When tillage begins, other arts will follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of civilization.[Daniel Webster] Quote:Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.[Phyllis Diller] Quote:My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.[Erna Bombeck] 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:I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love.[Henry Ward Beecher] Quote:Until you've lost your reputation, you never realize what a burden it was or what freedom really is.[Margaret Mitchell] Quote:I conquered my hostility by putting it away until the day I might need it.[Nachman of Bratslav] 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:A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:I cried because I had no shoes, 'till I met a man who had no feet. So I said, 'You got any shoes you're not using'?[Steven Wright] Quote:I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.[Winston Churchill] Quote:War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way 'til you can.[Winston Churchill] Quote:The constitution vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a measure.[George Washington] Quote:It still remains true that no justification of virtue will enable a man to be virtuous.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be.

For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thru' narrow chinks of his cavern.[William Blake] Quote:Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.[John Adams] Quote:Proverbs are always platitudes until you have personally experienced the truth of them.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:I never knew what real happiness was until I got married, and by then it was too late.[Max Kaufman] Quote:My Grandmother is over eighty and still doesn't need glasses. Drinks right out of the bottle.[Henny Youngman] 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. Many a man who is putting a few dollars a week into the bank would do much better to put it into himself.[Henry Ford] Quote:One must still have chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star. [Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:My Grandmother is over eighty and still doesn't need glasses. Drinks right out of the bottle. [Henny Youngman] Quote:Health is not valued till sickness comes. [Dr. Thomas Fuller] 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:Life's dirty. Life's unclean you know. It's birth, it's sex, it's the intestinal tract. One big squishy, unsanitary mess. It never gets any cleaner either. You know, dust to dust, worms crawl in, worms crawl out, right? Even though we know that, we still walk the walk, we still live the life. We're like a bunch of little kids. Little kids, you know, we jump in this big old pond of mud and we're slapping it all over our face, rubbing our hair all down our backs and we're making these glorious, gooey, mud pies. That's us. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Marriage. It's a hard term to define. Especially for me--I've ducked it like root canal. Still there's no denying the fact that marriage ranks right up there with birth and death as one of the three biggies in the human safari. It's the only one though that we'll celebrate with a conscious awareness. Very few of you remember your arrival and even fewer of you will attend your own funeral. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Greetings on this most exceedingly beautiful spring morning. A morning swollen with new life, a morning on which, if I had the voice, I would let loose with song. It's hard to believe just a few short weeks ago we were eating our cornflakes in the wintery dark. Now, well it's still kind of dim out there, but I can see the golden glow of Apollo's chariot waiting in the wings, about to make its entrance. Winter's on the lam, no doubt. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy. [Anne Frank] Quote:I have everything, yet have nothing; and although I possess nothing, still of nothing am I in want. [Terence] Quote:The world is full of women blindsided by the unceasing demands of motherhood, still flabbergasted by how a job can be terrific and torturous. [Anna Quindlen] Quote:Americans adore me and will go on adoring me until I say something nice about them. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity. [Horace Mann] Quote:The incompetent with nothing to do can still make a mess of it. [Laurence J. Peter] Quote:Women have more to offer this world than just a fallopian tube. Nothing is going to change until you quit looking at us as just sperm receptacles. [Barbara Hall] Quote:If there comes a little thaw, Still the air is chill and raw, Here and there a patch of snow, Dirtier than the ground below, Dribbles down a marshy flood; Ankle-deep you stick in mud In the meadows while you sing, "This is Spring." [David Assael] Quote:Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater. [Albert Einstein] Quote:I have discovered that all human evil comes from this, man's being unable to sit still in a room. [Blaise Pascal] Quote:I have discovered that all human evil comes from this, man's being unable to sit still in a room. [Blaise Pascal] Quote:No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem. [Booker T. Washington] Quote:Let me not be understood as saying that there are no bad laws, nor that grievances may not arise for the redress of which no legal provisions have been made. I mean to say no such thing. But I do mean to say that although bad laws, if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still, while they continue in force, for the sake of example they should be religiously observed. [Abraham Lincoln] Quote:While grief is fresh, every attempt to divert only irritates. You must wait till it be digested, and then amusement will dissipate the remains of it. [Samuel Johnson] Quote:In the beginning there was nothing. God said, 'Let there be light!' And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better. [Ellen DeGeneres] Quote:The human brain starts working the moment you are born and never stops until you stand up to speak in public. [Robert Frost] Quote:It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated. [Anatole France] Quote:Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot. [D. H. Lawrence] Quote:I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances. [William James] Quote:Never criticize a man until you've walked a mile in his moccasins. [Benjamin Disraeli] Quote:Doubt 'til thou canst doubt no more...doubt is thought and thought is life. Systems which end doubt are devices for drugging thought. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.
