It is questionable if all the mechanical inventions yet made have lightened the day's toil of any human being.
John Stuart Mill
We all dream; we do not understand our dreams, yet we act as if nothing strange goes on in our sleep minds, strange at least by comparison with the logical, purposeful doings of our minds when we are awake.
Erich Fromm
In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two.
Erich Fromm
The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a sense, tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother's side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother, and to become fully independent.
Erich Fromm
There is hardly any activity, any enterprise, which is started out with such tremendous hopes and expectations, and yet which fails so regularly, as love.
Erich Fromm
To hope means to be ready at every moment for that which is not yet born, and yet not become desperate if there is no birth in our lifetime.
Erich Fromm
Yet habit - strange thing! what cannot habit accomplish?
Herman Melville
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Lord Byron
This man is freed from servile bands, Of hope to rise, or fear to fall; Lord of himself, though not of lands, And leaving nothing, yet hath all.
Lord Byron
I've made an odd discovery. Every time I talk to a savant I feel quite sure that happiness is no longer a possibility. Yet when I talk with my gardener, I'm convinced of the opposite.
Bertrand Russell
Talent and intelligence never yet inoculated anyone against the caprice of the fates.
J. K. Rowling
To teach how to live without certainty and yet without being paralysed by hesitation is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy, in our age, can do for those who study it.
Bertrand Russell
What white man can say I never stole his land or a penny of his money? Yet they say that I am a thief.
Sitting Bull
What white woman, however lonely, was ever captive or insulted by me? Yet they say I am a bad Indian.
Sitting Bull
I have written on all sorts of subjects... yet I have no enemies; except indeed all the Whigs, all the Tories, and all the Christians.
David Hume
Human Nature is the only science of man; and yet has been hitherto the most neglected.
David Hume
Between a man and his wife nothing ought to rule but love. Authority is for children and servants, yet not without sweetness.
William Penn
Sense shines with a double luster when it is set in humility. An able yet humble man is a jewel worth a kingdom.
William Penn
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
Be like the bird who, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing she hath wings.
Victor Hugo
