Poorly written novels--no matter how pious and edifying the behavior of the characters--are not good in themselves and are therefore not really edifying.
Flannery O'Connor
Image
Poorly prepared for the dignity of life, I barely keep up with the pace of the action imposed. Reality demands.
Wislawa Szymborska
Image
ISIS rules Muslim apostates every day and then beheads them. Poorly educated guys get Islam for Dummies, petty criminals who think they're suddenly changing their lives because they see the light. The best way to fight them is to show them they don't know Islam at all, and that they are in fact working for the other side.
Malcolm Wrightson Nance

Well married a person has wings, poorly married shackles.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Those who say truth is stranger than fiction have wasted their time on poorly written fiction.
Mark Twain
Image
It is truly regrettable that a person will treat a man who is valuable to him well, and a man who is worthless to him poorly.
Hojo Shigetoki
Image
Disputants often fare poorly when they each act greedily and deceptively.
Howard Raiffa
Image
Eternity becomes more beautiful as we age, if we age well. If we age poorly, then we don't improve our minds we don't refine all the aspects of our being.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Art is amoral so is life. For me there are no obscene pictures or books there are only poorly conceived and poorly executed ones.
Irving Stone
Image
Power has destroyed many people - not really. Power doesn't destroy anyone. People apply it poorly and it can ruin their lives. Power is like fire. Fire is neither good nor bad. It's how you use it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Most of life is on-the-job training. Some of the most important things can only be learned in the process of doing them. You do something and you get feedback - about what works and what doesn't. If you don't do anything for fear of doing it wrong, poorly, or badly, you never get any feedback, and therefore you never get to improve.
Jack Canfield
Image
Many change initiatives are poorly thought out, and rolled out prematurely. Others are genuinely good ideas but the proponents underestimate the amount of time needed to make the change. And, I agree, true change usually requires people giving something up and so resistance is pretty well guaranteed for any meaningful change.
Gary A. Klein
Image
It is just as painful to me when I do poorly. If the fault is all mine, that's what's painful. If it's a situation where no one could have succeeded, I don't feel as bad.
Janeane Garofalo
Image
Journalists are too poorly paid in this country to know anything that is fit for publication.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
You cannot just work out and then eat poorly and expect to lose weight. It doesn’t work that way.
Jennifer Hudson

China could easily emerge as the great winner if the Chinese leaders handle the situation well. On the other hand, they could also turn out to be the biggest losers if they handle it poorly. If the management turns out be wrong, this could lead to a political crisis in China.
George Soros

It cannot remain unmentioned that so many poorly equipped boys, and boys who have no talent at all for music, have been accepted into the school to date that the quality of music has necessarily declined and deteriorated. And those who do bring a few precepts with them when they come to school are not ready to be used immediately.
Johann Sebastian Bach
Image
Whatever a 'superior' group has will be used to justify its superiority, and whatever an 'inferior' group has will be used to justify its plight. Black men were given poorly paid jobs because they were said to be 'stronger' than white men, while all women were relegated to poorly paid jobs because they were said to be 'weaker.
Gloria Steinem
Image
The young of human beings compare so poorly in original efficiency with the young of many of the lower animals, that even the powers needed for physical sustentation have to be acquired under tuition. How much more, then, is this the case with respect to all the technological, artistic, scientific, and moral achievements of humanity!
John Dewey
Image
When you're playing poorly, you start thinking too much. That's when you confuse yourself.
Greg Norman
Image
You can trust that caring, as a rule, ends poorly,” which is true. Caring doesn’t sometimes lead to misery. It always does.
John Green
Image
I had written childrens books for 14 years before I published Wicked. And none of them were poorly reviewed, and none of them sold enough for me to be able to buy a bed.
Gregory Maguire
Image
The constant need for special waivers is symptomatic of poorly written public policy. It's a signal that the cost of compliance is unreasonably high the benefits are hard to measure and either legislators or regulators have failed to do their homework.
John Sununu

How are you, G.I. Joe? It seems to me that most of you are poorly informed about the going of the war, to say nothing about a correct explanation of your presence over here. Nothing is more confused than to be ordered into a war to die.
