The Supreme Quotes

Death is not an evil, because it frees us from all evils, and while it takes away good things, it takes away also the desire for them. Old age is the supreme evil, because it deprives us of all pleasures, leaving us only the appetite for them, and it brings with it all sufferings. Nevertheless, we fear death, and we desire old age Picture Quote #1

And it must be used to get rid of war and to establish enduring peace. Here is the supreme test of the effectiveness of religion Picture Quote #1

People are my most important asset. Faith in the supreme being, trust, credibility and performance are the things that have brought me to the top Picture Quote #1

Prostitution is the supreme triumph of capitalism. When the sex war is won prostitutes should be shot as collaborators for their terrible betrayal of all women, for the moral tarring and feathering they give indigenous women who have had the bad luck to live in what they make their humping ground Picture Quote #1

In the world of securities, courage becomes the supreme virtue after adequate knowledge and a tested judgment are at hand Picture Quote #1

The tea ceremony requires years of training and practice... yet the whole of this art, as to its detail, signifies no more than the making and serving of a cup of tea.
