Years Ago Quotes

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago Picture Quote #1

If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today Picture Quote #1

Many years ago I resolved never to bother with New Year's resolutions, and I've stuck with it ever since Picture Quote #2

In terms of writing about horses, I fell backwards into that. I was intent on getting a Ph. D., Becoming a professor, and writing on history but I got sick 14 years ago when I was 19. Getting sick derailed that plan completely Picture Quote #1

Twenty years ago, you might have been pessimistic and said there's no hope. But these days, some of our very biggest companies are acting remarkably cleanly. And in some cases, although not all cases, the CEOs are the driving forces behind that Picture Quote #1

What's missing is leadership in the White House. And the story that Barack Obama does tell, forever shifting blame to the last administration, is getting old. The man assumed office almost four years ago - isn't it about time he assumed responsibility? Picture Quote #1

There is no progress whatever. Everything is just the same as it was thousands, and tens of thousands, of years ago. The outward form changes. The essence does not change Picture Quote #1

In those holy fields, over whose acres walk'd those blessed feet which, fourteen hundred years ago, were nail'd for our advantage on the bitter cross Picture Quote #1

A few years ago in Chicago, I rented an office, and I went there every day. For the most part I do work at home in an ugly room Picture Quote #1

I am not the same man I was 35 years ago. And I hope that five years and ten years from now, I'll be a better man, a more mature man, a wiser man, a more humble man and a more spirited man to serve the good of my people and the good of humanity Picture Quote #1

Anxiety is not being able to sleep because you said something wrong two years ago and can't stop thinking about it Picture Quote #1

The only danger about websites, you know, is people who remember something you did or said thirty or forty years ago, and bring it up against you, so you’re going for a job and you don’t get it Picture Quote #1

The income tax is a twentieth century socialist experiment that has failed. Before the income tax was imposed on us just 80 years ago, government had no claim to our income. Only sales, excise, and tariff taxes were allowed Picture Quote #1

While all other sciences have advanced, that of government is at a standstill - little better understood, little better practiced now than three or four thousand years ago Picture Quote #1

Thanks to my mother, not a single cardboard box has found it's way back into society. We receive gifts in boxes from stores that went out of business twenty years ago Picture Quote #1

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this Picture Quote #1

There's good reason to be excited. You have the first woman running who is qualified, and a very attractive African American who has demonstrated crossover appeal. I got involved in politics 40 years ago during the civil rights movement, so yes, it's an exciting thing Picture Quote #1

Years ago nobody was elected on the economic ticket. It was either the education platform, or it was health or it was other issues. It is only recently that economic values have superceded every other human value Picture Quote #1

I started singing about three years ago, I entered a local singing competition called Stratford Idol. The other people in the competition had been taking singing lessons and had vocal coaches. I wasn't taking it too seriously at the time, I would just sing around the house. I was only 12 and I got second place Picture Quote #1

About a billion years ago, long before the continents had separated to define the ancient oceans, or their own outlines had been determined, a small protuberance jutted out from the northwest corner of what would later become North America Picture Quote #1

And I did wonder - because it's now three years ago since I left prison - whether there would come a time when I would forget it, or it would be in the past as anything else might be - no, it's there every day of my life Picture Quote #1

Most men, no matter how well or badly dressed, carry overstuffed, beat up wallets that should have been replaced years ago. Why is that? Every time I see a guy take out a wallet anywhere, it looks like a piece of old melted chocolate cake - with strings Picture Quote #1

One of the saddest realities is that we never know when our lives are at their peak. Only after it is over and we have some kind of perspective do we realize how good we had it a day, a month, five years ago Picture Quote #1

There is no business like show business, Irving Berlin once proclaimed, and thirty years ago he may have been right, but not anymore. Nowadays almost every business is like show business, including politics, which has become more like show business than show business is Picture Quote #1

Once in seven years I burn all my sermons; for it is a shame if I cannot write better sermons now than I did seven years ago Picture Quote #1

It's so different now coming out as a new artist today than it was when I came out almost ten years ago. Now, it's all about singles, it's really quick, it's online. I came out when people sold records and they still do today but - I don't know what the key is Picture Quote #1

My sense of history in music is much greater than a lot of people's. I listen a lot further back in the whole history of music. It's not just pop music of the last 20, 30, 40, 50 years. I'm listening to stuff from hundreds of years ago as well, because you can learn from everything Picture Quote #1

Sixty years ago I knew everything; now I know nothing; education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance Picture Quote #1

Thirty years ago, we were in a movie theater and thought it was so cool because we were finally delivered from the horrors of stained glass and wooden pews Picture Quote #1

When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude Picture Quote #1
