– EpictetusRate it:

We must not confuse information with inspiration.

– Prof.Salam Al ShereidaRate it:

We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it. It must be done for itself, for the beauty of science, and then there is always the chance that a scientific discovery may become like the radium a benefit for humanity.

– Marie Curie, Lecture at Vassar College, May 14, 1921Rate it:

– Walter Savage LandorRate it:

We must not just be in the world and above the world, but also of the world. To love it for what it is... is the only task. Avoid it and you are lost. Loose yourself in it, and you are free.

– Henry Miller, in a letter to Lawrence DurrellRate it:

We must not let go manifest truths because we cannot answer all questions about them.

– Jeremy CollierRate it:

We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.

– Thomas Jefferson, letter to Samuel Kercheval, July 12, 1816Rate it:

We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our calling and our creeds... [we will] have no time to think, no means of calling our miss-managers to account but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers... And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for [another ]... till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery... And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression.

– Thomas JeffersonRate it:

We must not lose our trust in the power of kindness.

– Debasish Mridha, M.D.Rate it:

We must not, at any cost, behave like little children who are ready to take credit for good deeds but run away wherever evil ones appear.

– Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:

We must not, however, see everything with a pessimist’s eyes. Our eyes should be set upon a bright star and always expecting the best, rather than always expecting for the worst cases to happen.

– Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:

We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.

– Marian Wright EdelmanRate it:

We must oblige everybody as much as we can; we have often need of assistance from those inferior to ourselves.

– La FontaineRate it:

We must often visit yesterday to see how lucky or unlucky we are today!

– Mehmet Murat ildanRate it:

We must overcome the notion that we must be regular. It robs us of the chance to be extraordinary and leads us to the mediocre.

– Uta HaganRate it:

We must pity the poor wretched, timid soul who is too faint-hearted to resist his oppressors. He sings the song of the dammed: “I can’t fight back; I have too much to lose; I own too much property; I have worked too hard to get what I have; They will put me out of business if I resist; I might go to jail; I have my family to think about.” Such poor miserable creatures have misplaced values and are hiding their cowardice behind pretended family responsibility -- blindly refusing to see that the most glorious legacy that one can bequeath to posterity is liberty; and that the only true security is liberty.

– Marvin CooleyRate it:

We must prefer real hell to an imaginary paradise.

– Simone WeilRate it:

We must protect the forests for our children, grandchildren and children yet to be born. We must protect the forests for those who can't speak for themselves such as the birds, animals, fish and trees.

– QwatsinasRate it:

We must protect the right of our opponents to speak because we must hear what they have to say.

– Walter LippmannRate it:

We must quench the thirst of power and consider the emotional level or mental health of those whom we are currently dealing with.

– Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:

We must remember that a right lost to one is lost to all.

– William Reece Smith, Jr.Rate it:

We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.

– H. L. MenckenRate it:
