For how many things, which for our own sake we should never do, do we perform for the sake of our friends.

– Marcus Tullius CiceroRate it:

For humans as well as for ships, dark stormy nights are better teachers than tranquil sunny days.

For I am a Bear of Very Little Brain, and big words Bother me.

– Winnie the PoohRate it:

For I dipped into the future, as far as human eye could see, saw a vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be.

– Alfred Lord TennysonRate it:

For I dipt into the future, as far as human eye can see, saw the vision of the world, and the wonder that would be.

– Lord Alfred Tennyson, UlyssesRate it:

For I do not believe God means us thus to divide life into two halves - to wear a grave face on Sunday, and to think it out-of-place to even so much as mention Him on a week-day. Do you think He cares to see only kneeling figures and to hear only tones of prayer - and that He does not also love to see the lambs leaping in the sunlight, and to hear the merry voices of the children, as they roll amoung the hay? Surely their innocent laughter is as sweet in His ears as the grandest anthem that ever rolled up from the "dim religious light" of some solemn cathedral?

– Lewis CarrollRate it:

For I have learned to look on nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes the still, sad music of humanity.

– William WordsworthRate it:

For I say unto you in all sadness of conviction that to think great thoughts you must be heroes as well as idealists. Only when you have worked alone -- when you have felt around you are a black gulf of solitude more isolating than that which surrounds the dying man, and in hope and despair have trusted to your own unshaken will -- then only can you gain the secret isolated joy of the thinker, who knows that a hundred years after he is dead and forgotten men who have never heard of him will be moving to the measure of his thought -- the subtle rapture of postponed power, which the world knows not because it has no external trappings, but which to his prophetic vision is more real than that which commands an army. And if this joy should not be yours, still it is only thus you can know that you have done what lay in you to do -- can say that you have lived, and be ready for the end.

– Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.Rate it:

For if that last day does not occasion an entire extinction, but a change of abode only, what can be more desirable And if it, on the other hand, destroys and absolutely puts an end to us, what can be preferable to having a deep sleep fall on us in the midst of the fatigues of life and, being thus overtaken, to sleep to eternity

– Marcus Tullius CiceroRate it:

For if there is anything to one's praise, it is foolish vanity to be gratified at it, and if it is abuse -- why one is always sure to hear of it from one damned good-natured friend or another!

– Richard Brinsley SheridanRate it:

For if you care for your freedoms, Stay Woke!

– George WashingtonRate it:

For if you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves and then punish them.

– Sir Thomas More, Utopia, Book 1Rate it:

For imagination sets the goal picture which our automatic mechanism works on. We act, or fail to act, not because of will, as is so commonly believed, but because of imagination.

– Maxwell MaltzRate it:

For in and out, above, about, below, 'Tis nothing but a Magic Shadow-show, Play'd in a Box whose Candle is the Sun, Round which we Phantom Figures come and go.

– Omar KhayymRate it:

For in politics as in religion it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution.

– Alexander HamiltonRate it:

For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle; and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged.

– Alice WalkerRate it:

For in the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

– Baba DioumRate it:

For in the final analysis, our most basic common link, is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same air, we all cherish our children's futures, and we are all mortal.

– John F. KennedyRate it:

For in the wild, we find our heart's release, And in the Earth, we find our sweetest peace.

– Yvonne PadmosRate it:

For it is in giving that we receive.

– Saint Francis of AssisiRate it:

For it is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest that holds human associations together. Our friends seldom profit us but they make us feel safe... Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end.

– H.L. MenckenRate it:

For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. The feeling of the nation must be quickened; the conscience of the nation must be roused; the propriety of the nation must be startled; the hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed; and its crimes against God and man must be proclaimed and denounced.

– Frederick DouglassRate it:

For it is the suffering flesh, it is suffering, it is death, that lovers perpetuate upon the earth. Love is at once the brother, son, and father of death, which is its sister, mother, and daughter. And thus it is that in the depth of love there is a depth
