The vital air of friendship is composed of confidence. Friendship perishes in proportion as this air diminishes.

Any comparison diminishes the expressive qualities of the terms of the comparison.
Gaston Bachelard

Samuel Johnson
Image
Better to be an animal than a man, an insect than an animal, a plant than an insect, and so on. Salvation? Whatever diminishes the kingdom of consciousness and compromises its supremacy.
Emile M. Cioran
Image
I tend to admire dead people more than the living. All too often, human reality diminishes the glowing reputation.

We believe it wrong ever to take a dollar from a free citizen without a very necessary public purpose, because each such taking diminishes the freedom to spend that dollar as its owner would prefer.
Mitch Daniels
Image
Money is time made tangible - the time invested in the earning of it. Taxation is the confiscation of the earner's time. Although some taxation is necessary, all taxation diminishes freedom.
George Will
Image
Begging for acknowledgment, or even asking, diminishes dignity and diminishes power.
Will Smith

every death diminishes us, but those that leave differences unresolved and things unsaid are the most painful of all.
Marcia Muller
Image
It's not what you know, and it's not even who you know. It's how much knowledge you give away. Hoarding knowledge diminishes your power because it diminishes your presence.
David Weinberger
Image
We're programmed to believe that time is the enemy, that it takes away from us or that it diminishes us. I have found that it's done the opposite to me. Life is in perfect balance. It's just that our perception of it isn't.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Image
As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends to compensatingly increase and the dictator... will do well to encourage that freedom in conjunction with the freedom to daydream under the influence of dope, movies, and radio. It will help to reconcile his subjects to the servitude which is their fate.
Julian Huxley
