A man calumniated is doubly injured - first by him who utters the calumny, and then by him who believes it.
Herodotus
He is the best man who, when making his plans, fears and reflects on everything that can happen to him, but in the moment of action is bold.
Herodotus
There is nothing impossible to him who will try.
Alexander the Great
I've always been a big fan of Bill Paxton, and I met him at the American Pie premiere.
Shane West
It were better to have no opinion of God at all than such a one as is unworthy of him; for the one is only belief - the other contempt.
Plutarch
Fate leads him who follows it, and drags him who resist.
Plutarch
When we label anyone 'bad', we will have more trouble dealing with him than if we could have settled for a lesser label.
William Glasser
John's time and effort were, in the main, spent on pretty honorable stuff. As for the other side, well, nobody's perfect, nobody's Jesus. And look what they did to him.
Paul McCartney
He was an embittered atheist, the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him.
George Orwell
A tragic situation exists precisely when virtue does not triumph but when it is still felt that man is nobler than the forces which destroy him.
George Orwell
The aim of a joke is not to degrade the human being, but to remind him that he is already degraded.
George Orwell
If you do not understand a man you cannot crush him. And if you do understand him, very probably you will not.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The word "good" has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The most dangerous criminal now is the entirely lawless modern philosopher. Compared to him, burglars and bigamists are essentially moral men.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Do not free a camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Somebody hits me, I'm going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn't eaten in a while.
Charles Barkley
The last time I saw him he was walking down lover's lane holding his own hand.
Fred Allen
A tomb now suffices him for whom the whole world was not sufficient.
Alexander the Great
Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by his heart, and his friends can only read the title.
Virginia Woolf
It is the nature of the artist to mind excessively what is said about him. Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.
Virginia Woolf
