I've seen the smiling of Fortune beguiling, I've felt all its favours and found its decay Sweet was its blessing, kind its caressing, But now it is fled, fled far, far away.
Richard Cobden
Image
I am already kindly disposed towards you. My friendship it is not in my power to give: this is a gift which no man can make, it is not in our own power: a sound and healthy friendship is the growth of time and circumstance, it will spring up and thrive like a wildflower when these favour, and when they do not, it is in vain to look for it.
William Wordsworth
Image
Football is about joy. It's about dribbling. I favour every idea that makes the game beautiful. Every good idea has to last.
Ronaldinho
Image
No one has needed favours more than I, and generally, few have been less unwilling to accept them but in this case, favour to me,would be injustice to the public, and therefore I must beg your pardon for declining it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Luke Cage is using his open hand instead of a closed fist. It's a little disrespectful but it's very effective. Some people call it a pimp slap, we call it smack-fu. He's doing you a favour by hitting you with an open hand. It hurts, it renders you unconscious but you live.
Mike Colter
Image
For some years I deserted religion in favour of Marxism. The republic of goodness seemed more attainable than the Kingdom of God.
Lionel Blue
Image
There is not a single argument nor a single fact that can be offered in favour of flesh eating that cannot be offered, with equal strength, in favour of cannibalism.
Herbert M. Shelton
Image
They favour learning whose actions are worthy of a learned pen.
George Herbert
Image
And I shall always hold myself more obliged to those by whose favour I enjoy uninterrupted leisure than to any who might offer me the most honourable positions in the world.
Rene Descartes
Image
Because she favours solitude and indwelling, an artist can live a significantly more claustrophobic life that she had ever intended.
Eric Maisel
Image
Sometimes people do you a favour when they drop out of your life.
Alan Cumming
Image
I am logically in favour of a referendum. It would be the only legitimate way.
Jacques Chirac
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
Charge less, but charge. Otherwise, you will not be taken seriously, and you do your fellow artists no favours if you undercut the market.
Elizabeth Aston
Image
Generosity wins favour for everyone, especially when it is accompanied by modesty.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
I have outlived that care that curries public favour or dreads the public frown…let the hand of law strike me down if it will, but I ask that my story be heard and considered.
Ned Kelly
Image
And as a man, who is attached to a prostitute, is unfitted to choose or judge of a wife, so any prepossession in favour of a rotten constitution of government will disable us from discerning a good one.
Thomas Paine
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
Anyway, as the old barrelhouse song says, My God, how the money rolled in. Norton must have subscribed to the old Puritan notion that the best way to figure out which folks God favours is by checking their bank acounts.
Stephen King
Image
Unwanted favours gain no gratitude.
Sophocles
Image
My father always said 'There's no free lunch.' My father was right. There's no free lunch and there's no free market. The market is rigged, the market is always rigged, and the rigging is in favour of the people who run the market. That's what the market is. It's a bent casino. The house always wins.
David Hare
Image
Humbly to ask a favour of people who are on the point of knocking your brains out sometimes produces good results.
Samuel Beckett
Image
Persecute them. ... Let them be put to shame and perish. ... Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. ... Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg. Let there be none to extend mercy unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
Wiley Drake

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
