There is no more lively sensation than that of pain; its impressions are certain and dependable, they never deceive as may those of the pleasure women perpetually feign and almost never experience.
Marquis de Sade
I can easily conceive, most Holy Father, that as soon as some people learn that in this book which I have written concerning the revolutions of the heavenly bodies, I ascribe certain motions to the Earth, they will cry out at once that I and my theory should be rejected.
Nicolaus Copernicus
So far as hypotheses are concerned, let no one expect anything certain from astronomy, which cannot furnish it, lest he accept as the truth ideas conceived for another purpose, and depart from this study a greater fool than when he entered it.
Nicolaus Copernicus
More stars in the north are seen not to set, while in the south certain stars are no longer seen to rise.
Nicolaus Copernicus
Those whose suffering is due to love are, as we say of certain invalids, their own physicians.
Marcel Proust
Obviously talent gets you to a certain point, but it's what you do with it, how you handle.
Brett Favre
One should not lose one's temper unless one is certain of getting more and more angry to the end.
William Butler Yeats
There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.
Aldous Huxley
Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects... totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations.
Aldous Huxley
The propagandist's purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human.
Aldous Huxley
Specialized meaninglessness has come to be regarded, in certain circles, as a kind of hallmark of true science.
Aldous Huxley
There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.
Aldous Huxley
Justice is a certain rectitude of mind whereby a man does what he ought to do in the circumstances confronting him.
Thomas Aquinas
Law is nothing other than a certain ordinance of reason for the common good, promulgated by the person who has the care of the community.
Thomas Aquinas
Love him or hate him, Trump is a man who is certain about what he wants and sets out to get it, no holds barred. Women find his power almost as much of a turn-on as his money.
Donald Trump
I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections, and the truth of imagination.
John Keats
Some autistic children cannot stand the sound of certain voices. I have come across cases where teachers tell me that certain children have problems with their voice or another person's voice. This problem tends to be related to high-pitched ladies' voices.
Temple Grandin
One of my sensory problems was hearing sensitivity, where certain loud noises, such as a school bell, hurt my ears. It sounded like a dentist drill going through my ears.
Temple Grandin
There is hardly a man on earth who will take advice unless he is certain that it is positively bad.
John Burroughs
We can be absolutely certain only about things we do not understand.
Eric Hoffer
