A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.
Aldous Huxley
A good education is that which prepares us for our future sphere of action and makes us contented with that situation in life in which God, in his infinite mercy, has seen fit to place us, to be perfectly resigned to our lot in life, whatever it may be.
Ann Plato
All that schooling never prepares you for the reality of life.
Juliette Lewis
But it is true that sometimes an enveloping darkness aids one to clearer vision; as in a panorama building, for example, where the obscurity about the entrance prepares one better for the climax, and gives the scene depicted a more real and vivid appearance.
Pierre Loti
Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition.
Thomas Jefferson
Every institution not only carries within it the seeds of its own dissolution, but prepares the way for its most hated rival.
William Ralph Inge
Every mother is like Moses. She does not enter the promised land. She prepares a world she will not see.
Pope Paul VI
I'm like the guy who prepares your taxes or a dentist. I'm very conservative and boring in a lot of ways.
Augusten Burroughs
Nothing in life prepares you to be famous.
Jeff Foxworthy
The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature, indeed, prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit.
Aristotle
There is no road too long to the man who advances deliberately and without undue haste; there are no honors too distant to the man who prepares himself for them with patience.
Jean de la Bruyere
We live so little time in this world that it is no matter how wretched and miserable we are, if it prepares us for heaven.
Jupiter Hammon
We used to think that revolutions are the cause of change. Actually it is the other way around: change prepares the ground for revolution.
Eric Hoffer
What would there be in a story of happiness? Only what prepares it, only what destroys it can be told.
Andre Gide
Wisdom prepares for the worst, but folly leaves the worst for the day when it comes.
Richard Cecil
