A biography is like a mini-series with different twists and turns, ups and downs. Others will rewrite it for you when you forget to sign on the last page. – Clifford Villanueva VillalonRate it:
A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what a number of people are actually dead and what a number of these dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror. – G. I. GurdjieffRate it:
A friend of mine once sent me a postcard with a picture of the entire planet Earth taken from space. On the back it said, Wish you were here. – Steven WrightRate it:
A leaf carried away with the stream of water, it can crash along the way, or go on to the darkest parts of the unknown ocean. – Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:
A man may build himself a throne of bayonets, but he can't sit on it. – William Ralph IngeRate it:
A pitfall that most entrepreneurs face is that we become so absorbed in the day-to-day battle (and mind you, it's a glorious battle), that we lose sight of where we are and where we need to go. I believe an imperative for any entrepreneur is to work 'on' the business as much or more so than 'in' the business. – Greg DewaldRate it:
Ace The town will never be the same. After the Tangiers, the big corporations took it all over. Today it looks like Disneyland. And while the kids play cardboard pirates, Mommy and Daddy drop the house payments and Junior's college money on the poker slots. In the old days, dealers knew your name, what you drank, what you played. Today, it's like checkin' into an airport. And if you order room service, you're lucky if you get it by Thursday. Today, it's all gone. You get a whale show up with four million in a suitcase, and some twenty-five-year-old hotel school kid is gonna want his Social Security Number. After the Teamsters got knocked out of the box, the corporations tore down practically every one of the old casinos. And where did the money come from to rebuild the pyramids Junk bonds. But in the end, I wound up right back where I started. I could still pick winners, and I could still make money for all kinds of people back home. And why mess up a good thing – CasinoRate it:
Aerodynamically the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn't know that so it goes on flying anyway. – Mary Kay AshRate it:
After a heated argument on some trivial matter Nancy Astor . shouted, If I were your wife I would put poison in your coffee Whereupon Winston Churchill answered, And if I were your husband I would drink it. – John Fellows AkersRate it:
Agent Smith I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure. – Matrix, TheRate it:
All property which comes to hand by means of violence, or infamy, or baseness, however large it may be, is tainted and unblest. On the other hand, whatever is obtained by honest profit, small though it be, brings a blessing with it.* – Akhlak-i-JalaliRate it:
Almost as soon as Carolyn [Christov-Bakargiev] showed me these images of this atelier, I immediately understood that also, as a city, it was these Armenian fingers and hands that were creating these motifs on the building that were bearing silent witness to the trauma in the past 100 years. And it was almost like this architectural seance, where these citizens that were forcibly forgotten, were able to come back in. – Michael RakowitzRate it:
An American Monkey after getting drunk on Brandy would never touch it again, and thus is much wiser than most men. – Charles DarwinRate it:
An artist on Esperance had once said to me, "Having sex or a domestic quarrel with the house monitors on is like undressing in front of a dog or cat ... it gives you pause the first time, and then you forget about it. – Dan SimmonsRate it:
An effective rule to not make fool of oneself with the deceptive, nice words of the people is to never support or share the thought that has got the picture of the writer or speaker on the poster with many supporters often seen hanging around him/her on the ground and especially when it bears an advice or the point of view that speaks with Yourself, Your and You. – Anuj SomanyRate it:
Another part of you is already an old man, looking back on things. Waiting at the door for his granddaughter who’s trying to make her way home for a visit. You are two people still separated by an ocean of time, part of you bursting to talk about what you saw, part of you longing to tell you what it means. – John KoenigRate it:
Any country that cannot provide for the proper healthcare of its citizens should never consider itself worthy of them dying for it in battle. For in a war- no one wins! both sides end up with casualties in body bags with mass graves and maybe- no memorials! I am ras cardo who created reggae. You can quote me on that-accurately. Its all true. – RAS CARDO REGGAERate it:
Anyone can stop a man's life, but no one his death a thousand doors open on to it. – Lucius Annaeus SenecaRate it:
Appearances: People tend to focus on the outer appearances but it's the inner self that really matters. What you see on the outside doesn't always match what's on the inside. You might be something very special on the inside but people are so fixated and judgmental about what they see on the outside that they don't give you a fair chance and that's an injustice, a tragedy. – Ryan PackRate it:
As a sinner I could not please God, I could not neutralize or pay for my own sin. But when God justified me by His grace He went on record declaring me righteous. He didn't wave a magic wand and declare me to be innocent. His holiness would not permit it. A basis for declaring me righteous was needed. The ground upon which my justification is built is the substitutionary death of His son, Jesus Christ. The shedding of blood demonstrates the righteousness of God 'that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus' (Rom. 326 NKJV). What a marvelous plan Man's plan of salvation by good works is offensive to God and to anyone who has been saved by God's grace. – Larry RiemersmaRate it:
As civilized human beings, we are the inheritors, neither of an inquiry about ourselves and the world, nor of an accumulating body of information, but of a conversation, begun in the primeval forests and extended and made more articulate in the course of centuries. It is a conversation which goes on both in public and within each of ourselves. – Michael OakeshottRate it:
As members of the Body of Christ, each of us have been endowed with a special measure of grace to use in His service. Paul develops this theme in Romans where he states 'For as we have many members in one Body, and all members have not the same office So we, being many, are one Body in Christ, and ever one members one of another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether...ministry, let us wait on our ministering or he that teacheth, on teaching Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity he that ruleth, with diligence he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness. – Paul SadlerRate it:
As the honey bees land on flowers and fruits, to sip nectar from that for producing honey; it shows its nature. Similarly, sober and qualified figures, follow visionary subjects and objects, to beautify and purify its vision; it mirrors intellect. – Ehsan SehgalRate it:
Asking for advice on important matter, simply means that you don't want to do it in the first place. – Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:
