As men are not able to fight against death, misery, ignorance, they have taken it into their heads, in order to be happy, not to think of them at all.
Blaise Pascal
Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see; it is above, not against them.
Blaise Pascal
The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.
William James
Actually lowering the cost of insurance would be accomplished by such things as making it harder for lawyers to win frivolous lawsuits against insurance companies.
Thomas Sowell
Facts do not speak for themselves. They speak for or against competing theories. Facts divorced from theories or visions are mere isolated curiosities.
Thomas Sowell
No true believer could be intolerant or a persecutor. If I were a magistrate and the law carried the death penalty against atheists, I would begin by sending to the stake whoever denounced another.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
As fire when thrown into water is cooled down and put out, so also a false accusation when brought against a man of the purest and holiest character, boils over and is at once dissipated, and vanishes and threats of heaven and sea, himself standing unmoved.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The extraordinary exertions of the colonies, in cooperation with British measures, against the French, in the late war, were acknowledged by the British parliament to be more than adequate to their ability.
Mercy Otis Warren
Poetry, even when apparently most fantastic, is always a revolt against artifice, a revolt, in a sense, against actuality.
James Joyce
Reaction - a boat which is going against the current but which does not prevent the river from flowing on.
Victor Hugo
It always rains on tents. Rainstorms will travel thousands of miles, against prevailing winds for the opportunity to rain on a tent.
Dave Barry
Time, whose tooth gnaws away everything else, is powerless against truth.
Thomas Huxley
All theory is against freedom of the will; all experience for it.
Samuel Johnson
From the beginning, I wanted to live my own life, and patiently I shored up that desire against wind and tide.
Ella Maillart
The revolution is a dictatorship of the exploited against the exploiters.
Fidel Castro
The interesting thing is why we're so desperate for this anesthetic against loneliness.
David Foster Wallace
It'll become obvious that we've really been working against ourselves.
Neale Donald Walsch
You can't be in politics unless you can walk in a room and know in a minute who's for you and who's against you.
Samuel Johnson
I have always considered it as treason against the great republic of human nature, to make any man's virtues the means of deceiving him.
Samuel Johnson
I have felt cats rubbing their faces against mine and touching my cheek with claws carefully sheathed. These things, to me, are expressions of love.
James Herriot
