Rarer Quotes

In general, indulgence for those we know is rarer than pity for those we know not Picture Quote #1

Common experience shows how much rarer is moral courage than physical bravery. A thousand men will march to the mouth of the cannon where one man will dare espouse an unpopular cause Picture Quote #1

Know that joy is rarer, more difficult, and more beautiful than sadness. Once you make this all - important discovery, you must embrace joy as a moral obligation Picture Quote #1

The sweetest souls, like the sweetest flowers, soon canker in cities, and no purity is rarer there than the purity of delight Picture Quote #1

A rarer spirit never did steer humanity; but you, gods, will give us some faults to make us men Picture Quote #1

Though with their high wrongs I am struck to the quick, yet, with my nobler reason, against my fury do I take part; the rarer action is in virtue than in vengeance Picture Quote #1

There are more dead people than living. And their numbers are increasing. The living are getting rarer Picture Quote #1

In my experience, it is rarer to find a really happy person in a circle of millionaires than among vagabonds Picture Quote #1

It is also rarer to find happiness in a man surrounded by the miracles of technology than among people living in the desert of the jungle and who by the standards set by our society would be considered destitute and out of touch Picture Quote #1

Great men are rare, poets are rarer, but the great man who is a poet, transfiguring his greatness, is the rarest of all events Picture Quote #1

Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still Picture Quote #1

They seem much rarer now, those auteur films that come out of a director’s imagination and are elliptical and hermetic. All those films that got me into independent cinema when I was watching it seem thin on the ground Picture Quote #1

Twin primes: pairs of prime numbers that are close to each other, almost neighbors, but between them there is always an even number that prevents them from truly touching. If you go on counting, you discover that these pairs gradually become rarer, lost in that silent, measured space made only of ciphers. You develop a distressing presentiment that the pairs encountered up until that point were accidental, that solitude is the true destiny. Then, just when you’re about to surrender, you come across another pair of twins, clutching each other tightly Picture Quote #1

Nature is nowhere accustomed more openly to display her secret mysteries than in cases where she shows tracings of her workings apart from the beaten paths; nor is there any better way to advance the proper practice of medicine than to give our minds to the discovery of the usual law of nature, by careful investigation of cases of rarer forms of disease Picture Quote #1

There are people of spirit and there are people of passion, both less common than one might think. Rarer still are the people of spirit and passion. But rarest of all is a passionable spirit Picture Quote #1

That’s the thing about friendship, it’s a lot rarer than love, because there is nothing in it for any body Picture Quote #1

The problem is no longer getting people to express themselves, but providing little gaps of solitude and silence in which they might eventually find something to say. Repressive forces don’t stop people from expressing themselves, but rather, force them to express themselves. What a relief to have nothing to say, the right to say nothing, because only then is there a chance of framing the rare, or ever rarer, the thing that might be worth saying Picture Quote #1

It’s rare when an artist’s talent can touch an entire generation of people. It’s even rarer when that same influence affects several generations. Elvis made an imprint on the world of pop music unequaled by any other single performer Picture Quote #1

Aristocrats need not be rich, but they must be free, and in the modern world freedom grows rarer the more we prate about it Picture Quote #1

All history shows that, in exact proportion as nations advance in civilisation, the accounts of miracles taking place among them become rarer and rarer, until at last they entirely cease Picture Quote #1

There is nothing rarer than a man who can be trusted never to throw away happiness, however eagerly he sometimes grasps it. In history we are as frequently interested in our own doom Picture Quote #1
