Luxury is the wolf at the door and its fangs are the vanities and conceits germinated by success. When an artist learns this, he knows where the danger is.
Tennessee Williams
The lover knows much more about absolute good and universal beauty than any logician or theologian, unless the latter, too, be lovers in disguise.
George Santayana
A man never knows how to say goodbye; a woman never knows when to say it.
Helen Rowland
When a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.
Samuel Johnson
A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the true value of time, and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain.
Samuel Johnson
The white man knows how to make everything, but he does not know how to distribute it.
Sitting Bull
My friends, whoever has had experience of evils knows how whenever a flood of ills comes upon mortals, a man fears everything; but whenever a divine force cheers on our voyage, then we believe that the same fate will always blow fair.
Aeschylus
Reverie is not a mind vacuum. It is rather the gift of an hour which knows the plenitude of the soul.
Gaston Bachelard
Anybody, providing he knows how to be amusing, has the right to talk about himself.
Charles Baudelaire
Our religion is itself profoundly sad - a religion of universal anguish, and one which, because of its very catholicity, grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man's own language - so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.
Charles Baudelaire
Our age knows nothing but reaction, and leaps from one extreme to another.
Reinhold Niebuhr
If a man knows not what harbor he seeks, any wind is the right wind.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
There is nothing in the world so much admired as a man who knows how to bear unhappiness with courage.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Within us there is someone who knows everything, wills everything, does everything better than we ourselves.
Hermann Hesse
A Scout is never taken by surprise; he knows exactly what to do when anything unexpected happens.
Robert Baden-Powell
People who drink to drown their sorrow should be told that sorrow knows how to swim.
Ann Landers
Part of the public horror of sexual irregularity so-called is due to the fact that everyone knows himself essentially guilty.
Aleister Crowley
Last night I dreamed of a small consolation enjoyed only by the blind: Nobody knows the trouble I've not seen!
James Thurber
Everything a writer learns about the art or craft of fiction takes just a little away from his need or desire to write at all. In the end he knows all the tricks and has nothing to say.
Raymond Chandler
Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
