Rating: 3.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Self-Denial
Self-denial is not a virtue, it is only the effect of prudence on rascality.
Rating: 5.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Self-Sacrifice
Self-sacrifice enables us to sacrifice other people without blushing.
Rating: 5.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Conversation

Rating: 4.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Silence
Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Vision
Some men see things as they are and say, "Why?" I of dream things that never were, and say, "Why not?"
Rating: 4.89 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Success
Success covers a multitude of blunders.
Rating: 5.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Success
Successful people in this world are those who get up and look for circumstances they want. If you can't find them, then make them.
Rating: 1.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Jokes and Joking
Suppose the world were only one of God's jokes, would you work any the less to make it a good joke instead of a bad one?
Rating: 4.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Fights and Fighting
That is the whole secret of successful fighting. Get your enemy at a disadvantage; and never, on any account, fight him on equal terms.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Constitution
The American Constitution, one of the few modern political documents drawn up by men who were forced by the sternest circumstances to think out what they really had to face, instead of chopping logic in a university classroom.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Government
The art of government is the organization of idolatry. The bureaucracy consists of functionaries; the aristocracy, of idols; the democracy, of idolaters. The populace cannot understand the bureaucracy: it can only worship the national idols.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Gardens and Gardening
The best place to seek God is in a garden. You can dig for him there.
Rating: 2.50 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Photographs and Photography
The camera can represent flesh so superbly that, if I dared, I would never photograph a figure without asking that figure to take its clothes off.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Doctors
The doctor learns that if he gets ahead of the superstitions of his patients he is a ruined man; and the result is that he instinctively takes care not to get ahead of them.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Christians and Christianity
The early Christian rules of life were not made to last, because the early Christians did not believe that the world itself was going to last.
Rating: 5.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Language
The English have no respect for their language, and will not teach their children to speak it.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Credulity
The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.
Rating: 5.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Criminals and Crime
The faults of the burglar are the qualities of the financier.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Love
The fickleness of the women I love is only equaled by the infernal constancy of the women who love me.
Rating: 2.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Rules
The golden rule is that there are no golden rules.
Rating: 3.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Poverty and the Poor
The greatest evils and the worst of crimes is poverty; our first duty, a duty to which every other consideration should be sacrificed, is not to be poor.
Rating: 3.50 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Danger
In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Benefactor
In your Salvation shelter I saw poverty, misery, cold and hunger. You gave them bread and treacle and dreams of heaven. I give from thirty shillings a week to twelve thousand a year. They find their own dreams; but I look after the drainage.
Rating: 2.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Public
It has taken me nearly twenty years of studied self-restraint, aided by the natural decay of my faculties, to make myself dull enough to be accepted as a serious person by the British public; and I am not sure that I am not still regarded as a suspicious character in some quarters.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Heartbreak
It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
Rating: 4.29 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Marriage
It is a woman's business to get married as soon as possible, and a man's to keep unmarried as long as he can.
Rating: 5.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Dating
It is assumed that the woman must wait, motionless, until she is wooed. That is how the spider waits for the fly.
Rating: 5.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Sincerity
It is dangerous to be sincere unless you are also stupid.
Rating: 4.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Thoughts and Thinking
It is difficult, if not impossible, for most people to think otherwise than in the fashion of their own period.
Rating: 5.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Self-Confidence
It is easy -- terribly easy -- to shake a man's faith in himself. To take advantage of that to break a man's spirit is devil's work.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Generations
It's all that the young can do for the old, to shock them and keep them up to date.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Kings
Kings are not born: they are made by artificial hallucination.
Rating: 5.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Servants
Ladies and gentleman are permitted to have friends in the kennel, but not in the kitchen.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Leisure
Leisure may be defined as free activity, labor as compulsory activity. Leisure does what it likes, labor does what it must, the compulsion being that of Nature, which in these latitudes leaves men no choice between labor and starvation.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Liberty
Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Happiness
Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind; and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself; and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intenser quality of life.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Life and Living
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Life and Living
Life is a disease; and the only difference between one man and another is the stage of the disease at which he lives. You are always at the crisis: I am always in the convalescent stage.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Self-Actualization
Life is no 'brief candle' to me. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live.
Rating: 2.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Life and Living
Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Self-Actualization
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
Rating: 4.85 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Death and Dying
Life levels all men. Death reveals the eminent.
Rating: 1.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Travel and Tourism
Life on board a pleasure steamer violates every moral and physical condition of healthy life except fresh air. It is a guzzling, lounging, gambling, dog's life. The only alternative to excitement is irritability.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Heartbreak
A broken heart is a very pleasant complaint for a man in London if he has a comfortable income.
Rating: 2.25 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Happiness
A day's work is a day's work, neither more nor less, and the man who does it needs a day's sustenance, a night's repose and due leisure, whether he be painter or ploughman.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Fashion
A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.
Rating: 2.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Fellowship
A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Taxes and Taxation
A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Mistakes
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
Rating: 2.24 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
