Men have looked upon the desert as barren land, the free holding of whoever chose but in fact each hill and valley in it had a man who was its acknowledged owner and would quickly assert the right of his family or clan to it, against aggression.
T. E. Lawrence
Image
Not playing by the rules, not seeing things conventionally, that's the heart of who he [ Steve Jobs] is, and he does it in small ways of everyday rebellion just almost to assert who he is, like not putting a license plate on his car.
Walter Isaacson
Image
I assert with confidence that the law of success, here and hereafter, is to have a humble and a prayerful heart, and to work, work, work.
Heber J. Grant
Image
We might not object to the statement that Lear deserved to suffer for his folly, selfishness and tyranny but to assert that he deserved to suffer what he did suffer is to do violence not merely to language but to any healthy moral sense.
Andrew Coyle Bradley
Image
I feel really strongly about not wanting to overly guide the reader about what he or she should think. I really trust the reader to know for themselves and not to need too much. You have your own imagination, your own experiences, your own feelings, and a novel wants ultimately to ask questions. It doesn't assert anything, or shouldn't, I think.
Nicole Krauss
Image
The safest rule of conduct is to claim kinship when we want to do service and not to insist on kinship when we want to assert a right.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Assert your right to make a few mistakes. If people can't accept your imperfections, that's their fault.
David D. Burns
Image
If we must grind up human flesh and bones in the industrial machine that we call modern America, then, before God, I assert that those who consume the coal and you and I who benefit from that service, because we live in comfort, we owe protection to those men first and we owe security for their families if they die.
John Lewis
Image
To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin.
Robert Bellarmine
Image
The job of a good ally is not to save anybody but rather to help create the conditions under which people can assert and grow their own power.
Rinku Sen
Image
Don't be afraid to assert yourself, have confidence in your abilities and don't let the bastards get you down.
Michael Bloomberg
Image
Are we all clear that we want to build something that can aspire to be a world power? In other words, not just a trading bloc but a political entity. Do we realise that our nation states, taken individually, would find it far more difficult to assert their existence and their identity on the world stage.
Romano Prodi
Image
Who would dare assert that we know all there is to be known?
Galileo Galilei
Image
Being is so significant that it is irreplaceable. You are just yourself. Do something that comes out of you - not to assert, but to express! Sing your song, dance your dance, rejoice in being whatever nature has chosen you to be.
Rajneesh
Image
I begin painting and as I paint the picture begins to assert itself, or suggest itself, under my brush. The form becomes a sign for a woman or a bird as I work... The first stage is free, unconscious... the second stage is carefully calculated.
Joan Miro
Image
I want to be different. Just like all the other different people I want to be like. I want to be just like all the different people and assert my individuality along with others who are different like me.
John S. Hall
Image
Youth is insolent it is its right - its necessity it has got to assert itself, and all assertion in this world of doubts is a defiance, is an insolence.
Joseph Conrad
Image
I confess that I have not cleared a path through all seven hundred pages, I confess to having examined only bits and pieces, and yet I know what it is, with that bold and legitimate certainty with which we assert our knowledge of a city, without ever having been rewarded with the intimacy of all the many streets it includes.
Jorge Luis Borges
Image
My position on the POW issue has been widely misquoted and taken out of context. What I originally said and have continued to say is that the POW's are lying if they assert it was North Vietnamese policy to torture American Prisoners.
Jane Fonda
Image
The vast majority of the race whether savage or civilized, are secretly kind at heart and shrink from inflicting pain, but in the presence of the aggressive and pitiless minority they don't dare to assert themselves.
Mark Twain
Image
Indeed, we may go further and assert that anyone who does not delight in fine actions is not even a good man.
Aristotle
Image
While we assert for ourselves a freedom to embrace, to profess, and to observe, the Religion which we believe to be of divine origin, we cannot deny an equal freedom to them whose minds have not yielded to the evidence which has convinced us.
James Monroe
Image
We assert that in those areas where the government is either unable or unwilling to protect the lives and property of our people, that our peopie are within our rights to protect themselves by whatever means necessary.
Malcolm X
Image
To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.
