Disdain the chain, preserve your freedom and maintain your independency: be industrious and free be frugal and free.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
Thine eyes I love, and they as pitying me, Knowing thy heart torment me with disdain, Have put on black, and loving mourners be, Looking with pretty ruth upon my pain.
William Shakespeare
Image
We need to create an enterprise culture, a society where successful entrepreneurs are respected and admired, not treated with suspicion and disdain. And in which we see less envy of other peoples' achievements and mistrust of commerce, and a greater readiness to get out there and join in the process.
Norman Tebbit
Image
Marriage is a reflection of your life in general: how you treat people, how you argue, how secure you are in your own thoughts. How vehemently do you argue your point of view? With what disdain do you view the other's point of view?
William Shatner
Image
I think jazz is actually quite unforgiving in its disdain for nostalgia. It demands creativity and change at its highest level.
Pat Metheny
Image
In each human heart terror survives The ravin it has gorged: the loftiest fear All that they would disdain to think were true: Hypocrisy and custom make their minds The fanes of many a worship, now outworn. They dare not devise good for man's estate, And yet they know not that they do not dare.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Image
Educated men - civilized, as Fourier used to say with disdain - tremble at the idea that society might some day be without judges, police, or gaolers.
Peter Kropotkin
Image
There is nothing so great that I fear to do it for my friend nothing so small that I will disdain to do it for him.
Philip Sidney
Image
Pessimism is a form of mental dipsomania it disdains healthy nourishment, indulges in the strong drink of denunciation, and creates an artificial dejection which thirsts for a stronger draught.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we are still just able to endure, and we are so awed because it serenely disdains to annihilate us.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Sometimes we esteem others more important than ourselves. We always become the martyr. It is wonderful to be self-sacrificing, but watch out for self-disdain! If we don’t apply some of the medicine that we use on others to strengthen ourselves, our patients will be healed and we will be dying.
T. D. Jakes
Image
Kings should disdain to die, and only disappear.
Thomas de Quincey
Image
In time the savage bull sustains the yoke In time all haggard hawks will stoop to lure In time small wedges cleave the hardest oak, In time the flint is pierced with softest shower, And she in time will fall from her disdain, And rue the sufferance of your friendly pain.
Thomas Kyd
Image
Because children grow up, we think a child's purpose is to grow up. But a child's purpose is to be a child. Nature doesn't disdain what lives only for a day. It pours the whole of itself into the each moment. We don't value the lily less for not being made of flint and built to last.
Tom Stoppard
Image
For me, it works to my advantage when people think I'm stupid. If somebody who disdains you or wants to control you underestimates you, you can play their game right back.
Veronica Webb
Image
Style disdains comfort and is always ready to sacrifice virtue.
Mason Cooley
Image
A blind determination to save the prestige of personal existence, rather than, through an impartial disdain for its impotence and entanglement, at least to detach it from the background of universal delusion, is triumphing almost everywhere.
Walter Benjamin
Image
If not for that of conscience, yet at least for ambition's sake, let us reject ambition, let us disdain that thirst of honor and renown, so low and mendicant that it makes us beg it of all sorts of people.
Michel de Montaigne
Image
My thoughts hold mortal strife, I do detest my life, And with lamenting cries, Peace to my soul to bring, Oft calls that prince which here doth monarchize But he, grim-grinning king, Who caitiffs scorns and doth the blest surprise, Late having deck'd with beauty's rose his tomb, Disdains to crop a weed, and will not come.
William Drummond
Image
Greatness starts with the replacement of hatred with polite disdain.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Image
What, my dear Lady Disdain! are you yet living? Beatrice: Is it possible disdain should die while she hath such meet food to feed it as Signior Benedick?
William Shakespeare
Image
He had had a severe shock some weeks earlier, when, having narrowly failed to capture a large grey-brown hare for his dinner, it had stopped at the edge of the forest, looked at him with disdain, and said, 'Well, I hope you're proud of yourself, that's all,' and had scampered off into the long grass
Neil Gaiman
Image
Dreams disdain fine lines and finishing touches on landscapes – they content themselves with thick but representative brushstrokes.
Machado de Assis
Image
There's actually a disdain for the conversation about audience in the art world. Artist to artist, if you say, What do you think about audience? they would probably say, I don't think about audience, I only think about my work, yet the audience is such an important part.
