The life of a man who deliberately runs through his fortune often becomes a business speculation; his friends, his pleasures, patrons, and acquaintances are his capital.
Honore De Balzac
Power is not revealed by striking hard or often, but by striking true.
Honore de Balzac
Not every truth is the better for showing its face undisguised; and often silence is the wisest thing for a man to heed.
Pindar
It's not every day that you get to be affectionate around something, it just doesn't happen that often.
Larry David
In relation to a writer, most readers believe in the Double Standard: they may be unfaithful to him as often as they like, but he must never, never be unfaithful to them.
W. H. Auden
Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud.
W. H. Auden
Children are excellent observers, and will often perceive your slightest defects. In general, those who govern children, forgive nothing in them, but everything in themselves.
Francois Fenelon
Wealth is not without its advantages and the case to the contrary, although it has often been made, has never proved widely persuasive.
John Kenneth Galbraith
It requires greater courage to preserve inner freedom, to move on in one's inward journey into new realms, than to stand defiantly for outer freedom. It is often easier to play the martyr, as it is to be rash in battle.
Rollo May
It is often the failure who is the pioneer in new lands, new undertakings, and new forms of expression.
Eric Hoffer
We have perhaps a natural fear of ends. We would rather be always on the way than arrive. Given the means, we hang on to them and often forget the ends.
Eric Hoffer
To spell out the obvious is often to call it in question.
Eric Hoffer
Too often I would hear men boast of the miles covered that day, rarely of what they had seen.
Louis L'Amour
It is by its promise of a sense of power that evil often attracts the weak.
Eric Hoffer
Animals often strike us as passionate machines.
Eric Hoffer
Too much mercy... often resulted in further crimes which were fatal to innocent victims who need not have been victims if justice had been put first and mercy second.
Agatha Christie
Father asked us what was God's noblest work. Anna said men, but I said babies. Men are often bad, but babies never are.
Louisa May Alcott
Any startling piece of work has a subversive element in it, a delicious element often. Subversion is only disagreeable when it manifests in political or social activity.
Leonard Cohen
But because many endeavor to get knowledge rather than to live well, they are often deceived and reap little or no benefit from their labor.
Thomas Kempis
By not caring too much about what people think, I'm able to think for myself and propagate ideas which are very often unpopular. And I succeed.
Albert Ellis
