The minute you or anybody else knows what you are you are not it, you are what you or anybody else knows you are and as everything in living is made up of finding out what you are it is extraordinarily difficult really not to know what you are and yet to be that thing.
Gertrude Stein
A society made up of individuals who were all capable of original thought would probably be unendurable.
H. L. Mencken
Giving every man a vote has no more made men wise and free than Christianity has made them good.
H. L. Mencken
Criticism is prejudice made plausible.
H. L. Mencken
Communism, like any other revealed religion, is largely made up of prophecies.
H. L. Mencken
It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.
James Madison
Each generation should be made to bear the burden of its own wars, instead of carrying them on, at the expense of other generations.
James Madison
All that seems indispensible in stating the account between the dead and the living, is to see that the debts against the latter do not exceed the advances made by the former.
James Madison
Ambition must be made to counteract ambition.
James Madison
The knowledge of God is the cause of things. For the knowledge of God is to all creatures what the knowledge of the artificer is to things made by his art.
Thomas Aquinas
Law; an ordinance of reason for the common good, made by him who has care of the community.
Thomas Aquinas
Fires can't be made with dead embers, nor can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men. Enthusiasm in our daily work lightens effort and turns even labor into pleasant tasks.
James A. Baldwin
God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.
Marcus Garvey
The minute you think you've got it made, disaster is just around the corner.
Joe Paterno
Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
Emily Bronte
Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.
Edmund Burke
Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe.
Edmund Burke
A woman's heart must be of such a size and no larger, else it must be pressed small, like Chinese feet; her happiness is to be made as cakes are, by a fixed recipe.
George Eliot
The finest language is mostly made up of simple unimposing words.
George Eliot
I'm not denyin' the women are foolish. God Almighty made 'em to match the men.
George Eliot
