Boldness becomes rarer, the higher the rank.
Carl von Clausewitz
Image
Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change the world which yields most painfully to change.
Robert Kennedy
Image
There are ever two ways of striving to fill one's place in the world: one is by seeking to prove one's self useful the other, by striving to render one's self useless. The first way is the commoner and the more attractive the second is the rarer and more noble.
Henry Clay Trumbull
Image
In this world of gossip, a good listener is rarer than a great orator.
Christopher Pike
Image
A rarer spirit never Did steer humanity but you gods will give us Some faults to make us men.
William Shakespeare
Image
It's rare when an artist's talent can touch an entire generation of people. It's even rarer when that same influence affects several generations. Elvis made an imprint on the world of pop music unequaled by any other single performer.
Dick Clark
Image
Nothing is rarer than real goodness.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
The rarer action is in virtue than in vengeance.
William Shakespeare
Image
Comedians are a much rarer and far more valuable commodity than all the gold and precious stones in the world.
Groucho Marx
Image
We live in a world where it's so accessible to date now, which is great. I don't judge that. We have so many ways of meeting people. I like to meet someone and have that chivalry, to take them out on a date and actually be a gentleman. I think that's becoming rarer and rarer.
Alex Pettyfer
Image
A great piece of advice for online dating is to stand out from the crowd. So greetings like hello and hi are very common. They do less well than things that are a little bit quirky or a little bit weird, like howdy or holla. The rarer your salutation, the better it does, in general.
Christian Rudder
Image
Nothing is rarer than a solitary lie for lies breed like Surinam toads you cannot tell one but out it comes with a hundred young ones on its back.
Washington Allston
Image
Occasions are rare and those, who know how to seize upon them, are rarer.
Josh Billings
Image
Having your own space is getting rarer and rarer these days. It's dangerous giving someone like me - who grew up fantasizing about studios and records - the freedom and resources to build your own studio. I would just live in it, which is what I pretty much did for all of the '90s.
Johnny Marr
Image
There is nothing rarer than a man who can be trusted never to throw away happiness, however eagerly he sometimes grasps it. In history we are as frequently interested in our own doom.
Rebecca West
Image
There is something that is much more scarce, something finer far, something rarer than ability. It is the ability to recognize ability.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still.
Frederick William Faber
Image
In my experience, it is rarer to find a really happy person in a circle of millionaires than among vagabonds.
Thor Heyerdahl
Image
I think it inevitably follows, that as new species in the course of time are formed through natural selection, others will become rarer and rarer, and finally extinct. The forms which stand in closest competition with those undergoing modification and improvement will naturally suffer most.
Charles Darwin
Image
Millionaire models are rare enough but model millionaires are rarer still!
Oscar Wilde
Image
[Intellectual courage is] the quality that allows one to believe in one's judgement in the face of disappointment and widespread skepticism. Intellectual courage is even rarer than physical courage.
John Charles Polanyi
Image
That's the thing about friendship, it's a lot rarer than love, because there is nothing in it for any body.
Owen Wilson
Image
Since we think about ourselves so much of the time, it is comforting to assume ... that we really know the score.... [But] this is not an easy assignment. [As] Santayana wrote, 'Nothing requires a rarer intellectual heroism than willingness to see one's equation written out.'
Gordon Allport
Image
Know that joy is rarer, more difficult, and more beautiful than sadness. Once you make this all-important discovery, you must embrace joy as a moral obligation.
Andre Gide
