– AiR Atman in RaviRate it:

The attribute most noble of the hand Is readiness in giving; of the head, Bending before a teacher; of the mouth, Veracious speaking; of a victor?s arms, Undaunted valour; of the inner heart, Pureness the most unsullied; of the ears, Delight in hearing and receiving truth?These are adornments of high-minded men, Better than all the majesty of Empire.

– BhartrihariRate it:

The audience and I are friends. They allowed me to grow up with them. I've let them down several times. They've let me down several times. But we're all family.

– Mickey RooneyRate it:

The aura of the theocratic death penalty for adultery still clings to America, even outside New England, and multiple divorce, which looks to the European like serial polygamy, is the moral solution to the problem of the itch. Love comes into it too, of course, but in Europe we tend to see marital love as an eternity which encompasses hate and also indifference: when we promise to love we really mean that we promise to honor a contract. Americans, seeming to take marriage with not enough seriousness, are really taking love and sex with too much.

– Anthony BurgessRate it:

The author himself is the best judge of his own performance; none has so deeply meditated on the subject; none is so sincerely interested in the event.

– Edward GibbonRate it:

The author of genius does keep till his last breath the spontaneity, the ready sensitiveness, of a child, the "innocence of eye" that means so much to the painter, the ability to respond freshly and quickly to new scenes, and to old scenes as though they were new; to see traits and characteristics as though each were new-minted from the hand of God instead of sorting them quickly into dusty categories and pigeon-holing them without wonder or surprise; to feel situations so immediately and keenly that the word "trite" has hardly any meaning for him; and always to see "the correspondences between things" of which Aristotle spoke two thousand years ago.

– Dorothea BrandeRate it:

The author of the Iliad is either Homer or, if not Homer, somebody else of the same name.

– Aldous HuxleyRate it:

The authority of any governing institution must stop at its citizen's skin.

– Gloria SteinemRate it:

The authority of those who teach is often an obstacle to those who want to learn.

– Marcus Tullius CiceroRate it:

The autumn leaf falls faster than the trees grow faster. (La feuille d'automne descend plus vite - Que les arbres ne grandissent plus vite.)

– Charles de LEUSSERate it:

The avalanche has begun, it is too late for the stones to vote.

– Ambasadore KoshRate it:

The avant-garde is a connotation, every act here is a connotative value. The whole series of avant-garde movements do not signify, and yet their concepts are reconnotation.

– Vladan KuzmanovicRate it:

The avant-garde is attitude, principle, set of activities, set of performances, articulatory forms, positive objects and processes.

– Vladan KuzmanovićRate it:

The avarice person is ever in want; let your desired aim have a fixed limit.

– HoraceRate it:

– Andrew A. RooneyRate it:

The average educated man in America has about as much knowledge of what a political idea is as he has of the principles of counterpoint. Each is a thing used in politics or music which those fellows who practice politics or music manipulate somehow. Show him one and he will deny that it is politics at all. It must be corrupt or he will not recognize it. He has only seen dried figs. He has only thought dried thoughts. A live thought or a real idea is against the rules of his mind.

The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.

– Andrew CarnegieRate it:

The average person thinks he isn't.

– Father Larry LorenzoniRate it:
