A trait which differentiated New York from European cities was the incredible freedom and ease in which life, including sexual life, could be carried on, on many levels.
Jerzy Kosinski
As you begin your tour of the United States, you may as well know that one American national trait which irritates many Americans and must be convenient for our critics is that we relentlessly advertise our imperfections.
Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr.
Clemency is the noblest trait which can reveal a true monarch to the world.
Pierre Corneille
Each character represented a trait that resides in me.
Chuck Jones
Good humor isn't a trait of character, it is an art which requires practice.
David Seabury
I - and there are hundreds of thousands of Irishmen who felt on this subject as I do - have always liked my Celtic countrymen and disliked the English nation; it is a national trait of character, and I cannot help it.
Douglas Hyde
I have sporadic OCD cleaning moments around the house. But then I get lazy and I'm cured. It's a very inconsistent personality trait.
Chris Hemsworth
I see nothing wrong with the human trait to desire. In fact, I consider it integral to our success mechanism. Becoming attached to what we desire is what causes the trouble. If you must have it in order to be happy, then you are denying the happiness of the here and now.
Peter McWilliams
I think probably the one trait that would concern me about brother Bing would be his lack of responsibility.
Bob Crosby
I was an observer. I liked to listen rather than openly express myself. This trait is something that I've retained over the years.
Giorgio Armani
I'd like to think that I'm brave. That's a really wonderful personality trait to have. I would love to think I'm the type of person to go rescue someone.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
If I ever loved a woman, the more I loved her, the more I wanted to hurt her. Frida was only the most obvious victim of this disgusting trait.
Diego Rivera
It is a beautiful trait in the lover's character, that they think no evil of the object loved.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
It just seems to be a human trait to want to protect the speech of people with whom we agree. For the First Amendment, that is not good enough. So it is really important that we protect First Amendment rights of people no matter what side of the line they are on.
Floyd Abrams
No human trait deserves less tolerance in everyday life, and gets less, than intolerance.
Giacomo Leopardi
No trait is more justified than revenge in the right time and place.
Meir Kahane
One trait of addictive families is that we never recognize our own addictions.
Lorna Luft
Presidents with strong nerves are decisive. They don't balk at unpopular decisions. They are willing to make people angry. Bush had strong nerves. Clinton, who passed up a chance to eliminate Osama bin Laden, did not. Obama is a people pleaser, a trait not normally associated with nerves of steel.
Fred Barnes
Sarcasm is a Manchester trait.
Peter Hook
The compulsion to do good is an innate American trait. Only North Americans seem to believe that they always should, may, and actually can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately this attitude leads to bombing people into the acceptance of gifts.
Ivan Illich
