Favours out of place I regard as positive injuries.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Favour will as surely perish as life.
George Herbert
Image
The applause and the favour of our fellow-men Fan even a spark of genius to a flame.
Ovid
Image
Chance favours the trained mind.
Louis Pasteur
Image
I am in favour of leaving people alone, however imperfect their polity may seem. It appears to me that you must not tell other nations how to set their house in order nor must you compel them to be happy.
Patrick O'Brian
Image
My creed of nonviolence does not favour the punishment of thieves and dacoits and even murderers.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I talked to a junior in college, and she was fed up. She said, I'm not doing other girls any favours by faking orgasms and not calling out guys when we're having unequal experiences.
Peggy Orenstein
Image
That, Senators, is what a favour from gangs amounts to. They refrain from murdering someone then they boast that they have spared him!
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
We can say what we like without favour or fear and what we can't say we can breathe in your ear
Peter Weiss
Image
It is in a country's interests to keep faith with its allies. States in this sense are like people. If you have a reputation for exacting favors and not returning them, the favours dry up.
Margaret Thatcher
Image
I cannot here avoid giving my most decided sufferage in favour of the moral qualities of maniacs. I have no where met, excepting in romances, with fonder husbands, more affectionate parents, more impassioned . . . than in the lunatic asylum, during their intervals of calmness and reason.
Philippe Pinel
Image
I maintain a balanced view of the world, but that balance is always in my favour.
Mark Lawrence
Image
Money must serve, not rule! The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but he is obliged in the name of Christ to remind all that the rich must help, respect and promote the poor. I exhort you to generous solidarity and a return of economics and finance to an ethical approach which favours human beings.
Pope Francis
Image
The rythms of typing favour short, concise sentences, sentences with oral form.
Marshall McLuhan
Image
Modesty once lost, never returns into favour.
Publilius Syrus
Image
Whenever known and sufficient causes are available, it is anti-scientific to discard them in favour of a hypothesis that can never be verified.
Max Weber
Image
Entrepreneurial business favours the open mind. It favours people whose optimism drives them to prepare for many possible futures, pretty much purely for the joy of doing so.
Richard Branson
Image
I have never been in favour of expelling people from the Labour Party.
Michael Foot
Image
If all the evidence in the universe turned in favour of creationism, I would be the first to admit it, and I would immediately change my mind. As things stand, however, all available evidence (and there is a vast amount of it) favours evolution.
Richard Dawkins
Image
If these Essays were worthy of being judged, it might fall out, in my opinion, that they would not find much favour, either with common and vulgar minds, or with uncommon and eminent ones: the former would not find enough in them, the latter would find too much they might manage to live somewhere in the middle region.
Michel de Montaigne
Image
Alexander was not the first Greek to be honoured as a god for political favour.
Robin Lane Fox
Image
The senator had only one argument in his favour: his feeling. When the heart speaks, the mind finds it indecent to object. In the realm of kitsch, the dictatorship of the heart reigns supreme.
Milan Kundera
Image
Many of the early nationalisation measures were right. They have remained part of the social fabric. I favour measures of that type.
Roy Jenkins
Image
I'm in favour of religion as a tamer of arrogance. For a Greek Orthodox, the idea of God as creator outside the human is not God in God's terms. My God isn't the God of George Bush.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
