We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. Aesop If you wish to be success in the world, promise everything, deliver nothing. Napoleon Bonaparte He travels the fastest who travels alone. Rudyard Kipling There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about. Oscar Wilde It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong. Voltaire In all history there is no war which was not hatched by the governments, the governments alone, independent of the interests of the people, to whom war is always pernicious even when successful. Leo Tolstoy There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth. Leo Tolstoy Always tell the truth; then you don't have to remember anything. Mark Twain By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you will become very happy; if you get a bad one, you will become a philosopher - and that is good for every man. Socrates Political language - and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists - is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give the appearance of solidity to pure wind. George Orwell The quickest way to end a war is to lose it. George Orwell These airplanes we have today are no more than a perfection of a child's toy made of paper. Henri Coanda Today's difference between Russia and the United States is that in Russia everybody takes everybody else for a spy, and in the United States everybody takes everybody else for a criminal. Friedrich Durrenmatt Evil exists to glorify the good. Evil is negative good. It is a relative term. Evil can be transmuted into good. What is evil to one at one time, becomes good at another time to somebody else. Mencius A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Confucius Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. Confucius It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. Confucius Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Confucius Wherever you go, go with all your heart. Confucius Those who own much have much to fear. Rabindranath Tagore Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work. Aristotle Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular. Aristotle Probable impossibilities are to be preferred to improbable possibilities. Aristotle The law is reason, free from passion. Aristotle Wit is educated insolence. Aristotle Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope. Aristotle If nothing can be truly asserted, even the following claim would be false, the claim that there is no true assertion. Aristotle All things come out of the one, and the one out of all things. Heraclitus When I tell any Truth it is not for the sake of Convincing those who do not know it but for the sake of defending those who Do. William Blake Nothing can be more contemptible than to suppose Public RECORDS to be True. William Blake Designed by Gabriel Ditu ©Copyright 2008 |
