| Quote:Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny.[Edmund Burke] Quote:What seem our worst prayers may really be, in God's eyes, our best. Those, I mean, which are least supported by devotional feeling. For these may come from a deeper level than feeling. God sometimes seems to speak to us most intimately when He catches us, as it were, off our guard.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Karate is a form of marital arts in which people who have had years and years of training can, using only their hands and feet, make some of the worst movies in the history of the world.[Dave Barry] Quote:The worst moment for the athieist is when he feels thankful and has no one to thank.[Dante Gabriel Rossetti] Quote:Of all bad men religious bad men are the worst.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.[Thomas Paine] 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:The worst of all fears is the fear of living.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Fear is your best friend or your worst enemy. It's like fire. If you can control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you can't control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you. If you can control your fear, it makes you more alert, like a deer coming across the lawn.[Mike Tyson] Quote:The best thinking has been done in solitude. The worst has been done in turmoil.[Thomas Edison] 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:It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.[Winston Churchill] Quote:In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:One of the great attractions of patriotism -- it fulfills our worst wishes. In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully and cheat. Bully and cheat, what's more, with a feeling that we are profoundly virtuous.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:Many things--such as loving, going to sleep, or behaving unaffectedly--are done worst when we try hardest to do them.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice.[Confucius] Quote:The worst thing that could happen to anybody, would be to not be used for anything by anybody.[Kurt Vonnegut] Quote:Football combines two of the worst things in American life. It is violence punctuated by committee meetings.[George Will] Quote:Death is not the worst than can happen to men.[Plato] Quote:Hope in reality is the worst of all evils, because it prolongs the torments of man.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:The worst moment for the atheist is when he is really thankful and has nobody to thank. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself. [Mark Twain] Quote:The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquillity, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death. [Cicero] Quote:Being plied with fine food always puts me in mind of the slammer, cause the food was jumpin' in there too--high in fat but nice and salty. You know what the worst deprivation in there was? My music. Radio belonged to my cell mate, the Blonde Hammer. He was into that jazz-fusion thing at the time. I tell you what, enough Spyro Gyra and you're hoping you'll get killed in a knife fight. [Barbara Hall] Quote:The worst tragedy for a poet is to be admired through being misunderstood. [Jean Cocteau] Quote:Ugly. Is irrelevant. It is an immeasurable insult to a woman, and then supposedly the worst crime you can commit as a woman. But ugly, as beautiful, is an illusion.
