| Quote:It is both foolish and wicked to teach the average man who is not well off that some wrong or injustice has been done him, and that he should hope for redress elsewhere than in his own industry, honesty, and intelligence.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Opportunity is missed by most people because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work.[Thomas Edison] Quote:War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own neccessities but of their advantages.[Adam Smith] Quote:A good many young writers make the mistake of enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope, big enough for the manuscript to come back in. This is too much of a temptation to the editor.[Ring Lardner] Quote:Dreams are postcards from our subconscious, inner self to outer self, right brain trying to cross that moat to the left. Too often they come back unread: "return to sender, addressee unknown." That's a shame because it's a whole other world out there--or in here depending on your point of view. [Dennis Koenig and Jordan Budde] Quote:Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. [Thomas A. Edison] Quote:We don't bother much about dress and manners in England, because as a nation we don't dress well and we've no manners. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:We don't bother much about dress and manners in England, because as a nation we don't dress well and we've no manners. [George Bernard Shaw] 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 But I do mean to say that although bad laws, if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still, while they continue in force, for the sake of example they should be religiously observed.
