It works the same in any country.[Hermann Goering] Quote:What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton. You may as well make it dance.[George Bernard Shaw] 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: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:The statesman who would attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals, would not only load himeslf with a most unnecessary attention, but assume an authority which could safetly be trusted to no council and senate whatever, and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of a man who had folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it.[Adam Smith] Quote:The fight is won or lost far away from the witnesses, behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road; long before I dance under those lights.[Muhammad Ali] Quote:Politics are almost as exciting as war and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics, many times.[Winston Churchill] Quote:Marriage is not a ritual or an end. It is a long, intricate, intimate dance together and nothing matters more than your own sense of balance and your choice of partner.[Amy Bloom] Quote:Such men as he be never at heart's ease whiles they behold a greater than themselves, and therefore are they very dangerous.[William Shakespeare] Quote:How come the dove gets to be the peace symbol?
