Observe Quotations
Look at the means which a man employs, consider his motives, observe his pleasures. A man simply cannot conceal himself!
Confucius
He that raises a large family does, indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand a broader mark for sorrow; but then he stands a broader mark for pleasure too.
Benjamin Franklin
Observe all men, thyself most.
Benjamin Franklin
You can observe a lot by just watching.
Yogi Berra
A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.
Henry David Thoreau
Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.
George Washington
First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.
Napoleon Hill
If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it.
Julius Caesar
Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.
Marcus Aurelius
Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are, and to make new things like them.
Marcus Aurelius
