Ter Quotes

The vote is a trust more delicate than any other, for it involves not just the interests of the voter, but his life, honor and future as well Picture Quote #1

The good man is the man who, no matter how morally unworthy he has been, is moving to become better Picture Quote #1

The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs Picture Quote #1

Partiality is, as we have seen, an accompaniment of the existence of interest, since this means sharing, partaking, taking sides in some movement. All the more reason, therefore, for an attitude of mind which actively welcomes suggestions and relevant information from all sides Picture Quote #1

Let us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the determination to make the right things happen Picture Quote #1

Lost - Yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever Picture Quote #1

We cannot be too earnest, too persistent, too determined, about living superior to the herd instinct Picture Quote #1

It is not so much tutoring that the minds needs, but clearer recognition and better use of what it already knows Picture Quote #1

You can't go around hoping that most people have sterling moral characters. The most you can hope for is that people will pretend that they do Picture Quote #1

My desire to curtail undue freedom of speech extends only to such public areas as restaurants, airports, streets, hotel lobbies, parks, and department stores. Verbal exchanges between consenting adults in private are as of little interest to me as they probably are to them Picture Quote #1

Just let me go, we have to be able to criticize what we love, to say what we have to say 'cause if you're not trying to make something better, then as far as I can tell, you are just in the way Picture Quote #1

My idea of feminism is self-determination, and it's very open-ended: every woman has the right to become herself, and do whatever she needs to do Picture Quote #1

Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl Picture Quote #1

I’ve gone fishing thousands of times in my life, and I have never once felt unlucky or poorly paid for those hours on the water Picture Quote #1

There will be days when the fishing is better than one’s most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home Picture Quote #1

I love fishing. You put that line in the water and you don't know what's on the other end. Your imagination is under there Picture Quote #1

The body is ready to have babies. Nature wants it done then, when the body can handle it, not after 40, when the income can handle it Picture Quote #1

Nelson Mandela is, for me, the single statesman in the world. The single statesman, in that literal sense, who is not solving all his problems with guns. It's truly unbelievable Picture Quote #1

One of my kids was born in 1968. There were going to be political difficulties, but they were never going to have that level of hatred and contempt that my brothers and my sister and myself were exposed to Picture Quote #1

For me, art is the restoration of order. It may discuss all sort of terrible things, but there must be satisfaction at the end. A little bit of hunger, but also satisfaction Picture Quote #1

A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves - a special kind of double Picture Quote #1

Uncertainty, doubt, perpetual wrestling with the mystery of our final destiny, mental despair, and the lack of any solid and stable foundation, may be the basis of an ethic Picture Quote #1

And killing time is perhaps the essence of comedy, just as the essence of tragedy is killing eternity Picture Quote #1

If a man is going to leave one wife to marry another, it's better if he divorces the first before he marries the second Picture Quote #1

However sugarcoated and ambiguous, every form of authoritarianism must start with a belief in some group's greater right to power, whether that right is justified by sex, race, class, religion or all four. However far it may expand, the progression inevitably rests on unequal power and airtight roles within the family Picture Quote #1

Pornography is the instruction. Rape is the practice, battered women are the practice, and battered children are the practice Picture Quote #1

Only one enemy is worse than despair: indifference. In every area of human creativity, indifference is the enemy; indifference of evil is worse than evil, because it is also sterile Picture Quote #1

There is divine beauty in learning, just as there is human beauty in tolerance. To learn means to accept the postulate that life did not begin at my birth. Others have been here before me, and I walk in their footsteps. The books I have read were composed by generations of fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, teachers and disciples. I am the sum total of their experiences, their quests. And so are you Picture Quote #1

Every man is free to rise as far as he's able or willing, but the degree to which he thinks determines the degree to which he'll rise Picture Quote #1

We distinguish the excellent man from the common man by saying that the former is the one who makes great demands upon himself, and the latter who makes no demands on himself Picture Quote #1
