Text Quotes
Let it be your constant method to look into the design of people's actions, and see what they would be at, as often as it is practicable; and to make this custom the more significant, practice it first upon yourself  (It Is Quotes) To a philosopher all news, as it is called, is gossip, and they who edit and read it are old women over their tea  (It Is Quotes) Talk is by far the most accessible of pleasures. It costs nothing in money, it is all profit, it completes our education, founds and fosters our friendships, and can be enjoyed at any age and in almost any state of health  (It Is Quotes) It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship  (It Is Quotes) Conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long; even if it is, the consciousness of possessing and using it well should satisfy one, and the great charm of all power is modesty  (It Is Quotes) It is discouraging to try to penetrate a mind like yours. You ought to get it out and dance on it. That would take some of the rigidity out of it  (It Is Quotes) Knitting is very conducive to thought. It is nice to knit a while, put down the needles, write a while, then take up the sock again  (It Is Quotes) Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads, which sew people together through the years  (It Is Quotes) Passion and prejudice govern the world; only under the name of reason. It is our part, by religion and reason joined, to counteract them all we can  (It Is Quotes) It is not likely that posterity will fall in love with us, but not impossible that it may respect or sympathize; so a man would rather leave behind him the portrait of his spirit than a portrait of his face  (It Is Quotes) It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit  (It Is Quotes) It is the nature of the artist to mind excessively what is said about him. Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others  (It Is Quotes) Mental fight means thinking against the current, not with it. It is our business to puncture gas bags and discover the seeds of truth  (It Is Quotes) It is folly for an eminent man to think of escaping censure, and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age in the world, have passed through this fiery persecution  (It Is Quotes) They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice. That suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person  (It Is Quotes) As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means  (It Is Quotes) It is great to do that thing that ends all other deeds, which shackles accidents and bolts up change  (It Is Quotes) Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every airborne particle in its tissue  (It Is Quotes) It is not doing the thing we like to do, but liking the thing we have to do, that makes life blessed  (It Is Quotes) If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot, therefore, maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual  (It Is Quotes) It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it  (It Is Quotes) It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be  (It Is Quotes) Sectional football games have the glory and the despair of war, and when a Texas team takes the field against a foreign state, it is an army with banners  (It Is Quotes) We humans are an extremely important manifestation of the replication bomb, because it is through us - through our brains, our symbolic culture and our technology - that the explosion may proceed to the next stage and reverberate through deep space  (It Is Quotes) If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought, not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate  (It Is Quotes) The Bible should be taught, but emphatically not as reality. It is fiction, myth, poetry, anything but reality. As such it needs to be taught because it underlies so much of our literature and our culture  (It Is Quotes) I am one of those scientists who feels that it is no longer enough just to get on and do science. We have to devote a significant proportion of our time and resources to defending it from deliberate attack from organised ignorance  (It Is Quotes) Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship  (It Is Quotes) It is necessary for him who lays out a state and arranges laws for it to presuppose that all men are evil and that they are always going to act according to the wickedness of their spirits whenever they have free scope  (It Is Quotes) I am not only witty in myself, but the cause that wit is in other men. I do here walk before thee like a sow that hath overwhelm'd all her litter but one  (It Is Quotes)
