Shun Quotes

If you are poor, shun association with him who measures men with the yardstick of riches Picture Quote #1

Be sure then to read no mean books. Shun the spawn of the press on the gossip of the hour. Do not read what you shall learn, without asking, in the street and the train Picture Quote #1

Search men’s governing principles, and consider the wise, what they shun and what they cleave to Picture Quote #1

I live in the crowd of jollity, not so much to enjoy company as to shun myself Picture Quote #1

The fly ought to be used as the symbol of impertinence and audacity; for whilst all other animals shun man more than anything else, and run away even before he comes near them, the fly lights upon his very nose Picture Quote #1

It is the part of cowardliness, and not of virtue, to seek to squat itself in some hollow lurking hole, or to hide herself under some massive tomb, thereby to shun the strokes of fortune Picture Quote #1

What I learned: Shun nonbelievers. Ignore critics. Do your best for people who want to dance with you Picture Quote #1

Much of what we call evil is due entirely to the way men take the phenomenon. It can so often be converted into a bracing and tonic good by a simple change of the sufferer’s inner attitude from one of fear to one of fight; its string can so often depart and turn into a relish when, after vainly seeking to shun it, we agree to face about and bear it Picture Quote #1

The caricature of science is that we hold tight to the theories we have, and shun challenges to them. That’s just not true. In fact, we hold our highest rewards for those scientists who can prove others wrong. And by the way, they are famous in their own lifetimes. We don’t wait until they’re dead Picture Quote #1

I care little in the existence of a heaven or hell; self respect does not allow me to guide my acts with an eye toward heavenly salvation or hellish punishment. I pursue the good in life because it is beautiful and attracts me; and shun the bad because it is ugly and repulsive. All our acts should originate from the spring of unselfish love, whether there be a continuation after death or not Picture Quote #1

One can make this generalization about men: they are ungrateful, fickle, liars, and deceivers, they shun danger and are greedy for profit; while you treat them well, they are yours. They would shed their blood for you, risk their property, their lives, their children, so long, as I said above, as danger is remote; but when you are in danger they turn against you Picture Quote #1

For though a man should be a complete unbeliever in the being of gods; if he also has a native uprightness of temper, such persons will detest evil in men; their repugnance to wrong disinclines them to commit wrongful acts; they shun the unrighteous and are drawn to the upright Picture Quote #1

If you want to know how to make people shun you and laugh at you behind your back and even despise you, here is the recipe: Never listen to anyone for long. Talk incessantly about yourself. If you have an idea while the other person is talking, don’t wait for him or her to finish: bust right in and interrupt in the middle of a sentence Picture Quote #1

There are many who would take my time. I shun them. There are some who share my time. I am entertained by them. There are precious few who contribute to my time. I cherish them Picture Quote #1

Virtues that shun the day, and lie concealed in the smooth seasons and the calm of life Picture Quote #1

Only the worm of conscience consorts with the owl. Sinners and evil spirits shun the light Picture Quote #1

Shun to seek what is hid in the womb of the morrow, and set down as gain in life’s ledger whatever time fate shall have granted thee Picture Quote #1

Alas! What stay is there in human state, or who can shun inevitable fate? the doom was written, the decree was past, ere the foundations of the world were cast Picture Quote #1

There, interspersed in lawns and opening glades, thin trees arise, that shun each other’s shade Picture Quote #1

The recovery of freedom is so splendid a thing that we must not shun even death when seeking to recover it Picture Quote #1

But see, the shepherds shun the noonday heat, the lowing herds to murmuring brooks retreat, to closer shades the panting flocks remove; ye gods! And is there no relief for love? Picture Quote #1

Shun, as you would the plague, a cleric who from being poor has become wealthy, or who, from being nobody has become a celebrity Picture Quote #1

However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house Picture Quote #1

Are we willing to shun vain repetition and keep our prayers out of an unchallenging rut by asking God to make us more sensitive to our own sin? Picture Quote #1

Value investors will not invest in businesses that they cannot readily understand or ones they find excessively risky. Hence few value investors will own the shares of technology companies. Many also shun commercial banks, which they consider to have unanalyzable assets, as well as property and casualty insurance companies, which have both unanalyzable assets and liabilities Picture Quote #1

I shun authors, and would never have been one myself, if it obliged me to keep such bad company Picture Quote #1

If you want to know how to make people shun you and laugh at you behind your back and even despise you, here is the recipe: Never listen to anyone for long. Talk incessantly about yourself.
