Every vice was once a virtue, and may become respectable again, just as hatred becomes respectable in wartime.
Will Durant
Image
It may be true that you can't fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.
Will Durant
Image
People with a culture of poverty suffer much less from repression than we of the middle class suffer and indeed, if I may make the suggestion with due qualification, they often have a hell of a lot more fun than we have.
Brian Friel
Image
I wish you would add an index rerum, that when the reader recollects any incident he may easily find it.
Samuel Johnson
Image
To walk abroad is, not with eyes, But thoughts, the fields to see and prize Else may the silent feet, Like logs of wood, Move up and down, and see no good, Nor Jor nor glory meet.
Thomas Traherne
Image
Happiness may have but one night, as glory but one day.
Alfred de Musset
Image
[I]f you are truly a man, sure of yourself and confident of your strength, you may taste of life without fear and without reserve you may be sad or joyous, deceived or respected but be sure you are loved, for what matters the rest?
Alfred de Musset
Image
Reason may cure illusions, but not suffering.
Alfred de Musset
Image
What a frightful weapon is human thought! It is our defense and our safeguard, the most precious gift that God has made us. It is ours and it obeys us we may launch it forth into space, but, once outside of our feeble brains, it is gone we can no longer control it.
Alfred de Musset
Image
I was worried before I saw the play 'The Seven Storey Mountain', thinking I don't really want to see a play about Thomas Merton. He probably wouldn't have either, ideally. Then it isn't. It's more about us and it's about our relationship to what he may or may not have thought about. It's its own thing completely.
Will Oldham
Image
A person may be a moron or an imbecile if he is lacking in judgment but with good judgment he can never be either. Indeed the rest of the intellectual faculties seem of little importance in comparison with judgment.
Alfred Binet
Image
I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance, says Jesus. This is where true wealth is found, not in material things!
Pope Francis
Image
The worst thing that happens to you may be the best thing for you if you don't let it get the best of you.
Will Rogers
Image
The path may not be left for an instant. If it could be left, it would not be the path.
Confucius
Image
The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.
Alfred Adler
Image
If God has laid your sins upon the Son of His love, you may rest assured that He will never lay them a second time upon you since, if Christ has borne them and atoned for them to Divine justice, they never again can be found.
Octavius Winslow
Image
A person who is enlightened does not have to reincarnate, or they may. If they chose not to, they can go beyond the wheel, and slide into nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The French under the old monarchy held it for a maxim that the king could do no wrong . The Americans entertain the same opinion with respect to the majority.... If ever the free institutions of America are destroyed, that event may be attributed to the omnipotence of the majority.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Image
We may note in passing that He (Jesus) was never regarded as a mere moral teacher. He did not produce that effect on any of the people who actually met Him. He produced mainly three effects - Hatred - Terror - Adoration. There was no trace of people expressing mild admiration.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Lawyers belong to the people by birth and interest, and to the aristocracy by habit and taste they may be looked upon as the connecting link of the two great classes of society.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Image
The minute a thing is long and complicated, it confuses. Whoever wrote the Ten Commandments made 'em short. They may not always be kept, but they are understood.
Will Rogers
Image
In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory. In battle, there are not more than two methods of attack.. the direct and the indirect yet these two in combination give rise to an endless series of maneuvers.
Sun Tzu
Image
It is easy to see that, even in the freedom of early youth, an American girl never quite loses control of herself she enjoys all permitted pleasures without losing her head about any of them, and her reason never lets the reins go, though it may often seem to let them flap.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Image
Not only does democracy make every man forget his ancestors, but also clouds their view of their descendants and isolates them from their contemporaries. Each man is for ever thrown back on himself alone, and there is danger that he may be shut up in the solitude of his own heart.
Alexis de Tocqueville
