We do not commonly see in a tax a diminution of freedom, and yet it clearly is one.
Herbert Spencer
We all decry prejudice, yet are all prejudiced.
Herbert Spencer
The Christian missionary may preach the gospel to the poor naked heathen, but the spiritual heathen who populate Europe have as yet heard nothing of Christianity.
Carl Jung
Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable.
Carl Jung
One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever came to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way.
Vincent Van Gogh
There may be a great fire in our hearts, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.
Vincent Van Gogh
Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
Alexander Pope
How shall I lose the sin, yet keep the sense, and love the offender, yet detest the offence?
Alexander Pope
In words, as fashions, the same rule will hold; Alike fantastic, if too new, or old: Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
Alexander Pope
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.
John Adams
I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering.
Robert Frost
I'm not sure I'm adult yet.
Johnny Depp
Science has not yet taught us if madness is or is not the sublimity of the intelligence.
Edgar Allan Poe
Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance. In teaching we rely on the "naturals," the ones who somehow know how to teach.
Peter Drucker
If you start by promising what you don't even have yet, you'll lose your desire to work towards getting it.
Paulo Coelho
I sit on a man's back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease his lot by all possible means - except by getting off his back.
Leo Tolstoy
Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man.
Rabindranath Tagore
Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.
Frederick Douglass
There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope.
George Eliot
Perhaps the most delightful friendships are those in which there is much agreement, much disputation, and yet more personal liking.
George Eliot
