| Quote:Our passions are not too strong, they are too weak. We are far too easily pleased.[C.S. Lewis] 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: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: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: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: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: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: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:A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:I am a strong believer in luck and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., of Materialism and Astronomy - are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true?I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents.It's like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.[Plato] Quote:Out of life's school of war: What does not destroy me, makes me stronger.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:I am a strong believer in luck and I find the harder I work the more I have of it. [Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Nothing is stronger than habit. [Ovid] 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: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:Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. [Isaac Asimov] Quote:The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice. [George Eliot] Quote:Electricity is actually made up of extremely tiny particles called electrons, that you cannot see with the naked eye unless you have been drinking. [Dave Barry] 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. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err. [Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:I know indeed what evil I intend to do,<br>but stronger than all my afterthoughts is my fury,<br>fury that brings upon mortals the greatest evils. [Euripides] 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:There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers. [Richard Feynman] 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. [Arthur Schopenhauer] Definitions of: tronDefinition: See 3d Trone, 2. |
