Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.
Immanuel Kant
A little learning, indeed, may be a dangerous thing, but the want of learning is a calamity to any people.
Frederick Douglass
Sex education may be a good idea in the schools, but I don't believe the kids should be given homework.
Bill Cosby
Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity, to what we would have others think of us.
Jane Austen
An engaged woman is always more agreeable than a disengaged. She is satisfied with herself. Her cares are over, and she feels that she may exert all her powers of pleasing without suspicion. All is safe with a lady engaged; no harm can be done.
Jane Austen
It is happy for you that you possess the talent of flattering with delicacy. May I ask whether these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the moment, or are they the result of previous study?
Jane Austen
Business, you know, may bring you money, but friendship hardly ever does.
Jane Austen
There may be good, but there are no pleasant marriages.
Rainer Maria Rilke
You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.
Richard Bach
Faith is the highest passion in a human being. Many in every generation may not come that far, but none comes further.
Soren Kierkegaard
Do not do unto others as you expect they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same.
George Bernard Shaw
No man ever quite believes in any other man. One may believe in an idea absolutely, but not in a man.
H. L. Mencken
Play not with paradoxes. That caustic which you handle in order to scorch others may happen to sear your own fingers and make them dead to the quality of things.
George Eliot
You may try but you can never imagine what it is to have a man's form of genius in you, and to suffer the slavery of being a girl.
George Eliot
Ignorant kindness may have the effect of cruelty; but to be angry with it as if it were direct cruelty would be an ignorant unkindness.
George Eliot
The sons of Judah have to choose that God may again choose them. The divine principle of our race is action, choice, resolved memory.
George Eliot
Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one's self to do without it.
George Eliot
An ass may bray a good while before he shakes the stars down.
George Eliot
Opposition may become sweet to a man when he has christened it persecution.
George Eliot
Puritanism. The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.
H. L. Mencken
