The God of many men is little more than their court of appeal against the damnatory judgment passed on their failures by the opinion of the world.
William James
Image
An appeal to a goodness which is not in him is, to a vain and sensitive soul, a stinging insult.
Frederick Rolfe
Image
If you would persuade, you must appeal to interest rather than intellect. We are advertis'd by our loving friends.
William Shakespeare
Image
You might as well appeal against the thunderstorm.
William Tecumseh Sherman
Image
You might as well appeal against the thunder-storm as against these terrible hardships of war. They are inevitable, and the only way the people of Atlanta can hope once more to live in peace and quiet at home, is to stop the war, which can only be done by admitting that it began in error and is perpetuated in pride.
William Tecumseh Sherman
Image
And, in general, that branch which is to act ultimately and without appeal on any law is the rightful expositor of the validity of the law, uncontrolled by the opinions of the other coordinate authorities.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Those works alone can have enduring success which successfully appeal to what is permanent in human nature -- which, while suiting the taste of the day, contain truths and beauty deeper than the opinions and tastes of the day.
George Henry Lewes
Image
There's an appeal to the American sense of exceptionalism, that we're morally superior, as way to not be self-critical. I think that's a bit dangerous.
Al Franken
Image
There's no point in really making something if it doesn't appeal to a lot of people or the masses or if it's not seen by a lot of people.
Aidan Turner
Image
the audience is the controlling factor in the actor's life. It is practically infallible, since there is no appeal from its verdict. It is a little like a supreme court composed of irresponsible minors.
Agnes Repplier
Image
... there are many to whom money has no personal appeal, but who can be tempted by the power it confers.
Agatha Christie
Image
The subtle differences in language and humor that get lost in translation, for example, make it almost impossible for big companies to do something that will appeal at home and abroad.
Larry Gelbart
Image
When [Wonder Woman creator William Moulton] Marston died in 1947, they got rid of the pervy elements, and instantly sales plummeted. Wonder Woman should be the most sexually attractive, intelligent, potent woman you can imagine. Instead she became this weird cross between the Virgin Mary and Mary Tyler Moore that didn't even appeal to girls.
Grant Morrison
Image
Women are beautiful when they're young, and not after. Men can still preserve their sex appeal well into old age.... Some men can maintain, if they embrace it ... cragginess, weary masculinity. Women just get old and fat and wrinkly.
Tracy Letts
Image
When reason and instinct are reconciled, there will be no higher appeal.
Jean-Philippe Rameau
Image
Our strength lies, not alone in our proving grounds and our stockpiles, but in our ideals, our goals, and their universal appeal to all men who are struggling to breathe free.
Adlai Stevenson I
Image
Structure your presentation so that you appeal to the different interests of the different decision-makers involved.
Brian Tracy
Image
Again, conventional Catholicism does not much appeal to me.
Paul Farmer
Image
The portions of a woman which appeal to man's depravity Are constructed with considerable care.
A. P. Herbert
Image
[Tikka Khan] made his appeal with loudspeakers, and still he came to know of only four cases. Shall we multiply by ten and make it forty? We're still far from the senseless figures spread around by Mujib [Rahman] and Indra Gandhi.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
Image
Among free men there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Since Khomeini's death, the popular appeal of an Islamic state - and of fundamentalism - has surely dimmed. Thinkers still debate and warriors kill, but no country seems prepared to emulate Iran. Perhaps revolutions happen only under majestic leaders, and no one like Khomeini has since appeared.
Ruhollah Khomeini
Image
Our country is the world, our countrymen are all mankind. We love the land of our nativity, only as we love all other lands. The interests, rights, and liberties of American citizens are no more dear to us than are those of the whole human race. Hence we can allow no appeal to patriotism, to revenge any national insult or injury.
William Lloyd Garrison
Image
We do not kill the drama, we do not really limit its appeal by failing to encourage the best in it but we do thereby foster the weakest and poorest elements.
George P. Baker
