The wise man does not lay up his own treasures. The more he gives to others, the more he has for his own.
Lao Tzu
Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it.
Lao Tzu
I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.
James Madison
I love the name of honor, more than I fear death.
Julius Caesar
I can only say that there is not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do to see a plan adopted for the abolition of slavery.
George Washington
Nothing can be more hurtful to the service, than the neglect of discipline; for that discipline, more than numbers, gives one army the superiority over another.
George Washington
My observation is that whenever one person is found adequate to the discharge of a duty... it is worse executed by two persons, and scarcely done at all if three or more are employed therein.
George Washington
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
Aristotle
Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
Khalil Gibran
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Khalil Gibran
There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure Island.
Walt Disney
Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.
Khalil Gibran
If my survival caused another to perish, then death would be sweeter and more beloved.
Khalil Gibran
Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
Oprah Winfrey
The man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without.
Ernest Hemingway
His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred.
Ernest Hemingway
I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes.
Ernest Hemingway
I've tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I'm afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred.
Ernest Hemingway
Decadence is a difficult word to use since it has become little more than a term of abuse applied by critics to anything they do not yet understand or which seems to differ from their moral concepts.
Ernest Hemingway
Switzerland is a small, steep country, much more up and down than sideways, and is all stuck over with large brown hotels built on the cuckoo clock style of architecture.
Ernest Hemingway
