We keep on deceiving ourselves in regard to our faults, until we at last come to look upon them as virtues.

~Heinrich Heine~

We human beings do have some g...

We human beings do have some genuine freedom of choice and therefore some effective control over our own destinies. I am not a determinist. But I also believe that the decisive choice is seldom the latest choice in the series. More often than not, it will turn out to be some choice made relatively far back in the past.

We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.

~Oswald Chambers~

We have to look at our own ine...

We have to look at our own inertia, insecurities, self-hate, fear that, in truth, we have nothing valuable to say. When your writing blooms out of the back of this garbage compost, it is very stable.

~Dorothy Height~

We have to have faith in ourselves.  I have never met a woman who, deep down in her core, really believes she has great legs.  And if she suspects that she might have great legs, then she's convinced that she has a shrill voice and no neck.

~Bible~

We have our little theory on a...

We have our little theory on all human and divine things. Poetry, the workings of genius itself, which, in all times, with one or another meaning, has been called Inspiration, and held to be mysterious and inscrutable, is no longer without its scientific exposition. The building of the lofty rhyme is like any other masonry or bricklaying: we have theories of its rise, height, decline and fall -- which latter, it would seem, is now near, among all people.

We have always had reluctance to see a tract of land which is empty of men as anything but a void. The ""waste howling wilderness"" of Deuteronomy is typical. The Oxford Dictionary defines wilderness as wild or uncultivated land which is occupied ""only"" by wild animals. Places not used by us are ""wastes."" Areas not occupied by us are ""desolate."" Could the desolation be in the soul of man?

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening.

We frequently hear of people dying from too much drinking. That this happens is a matter of record. But the blame almost always is placed on whisky. Why this should be I never could understand. You can die from drinking too much of anything - coffee, water, milk, soft drinks and all such stuff as that. And so long as the presence of death lurks with anyone who goes through the simple act of swallowing, I will make mine whisky.

~W. C. Fields~

We frail humans are at one tim...

We frail humans are at one time capable of the greatest good and, at the same time, capable of the greatest evil. Change will only come about when each of us takes up the daily struggle ourselves to be more forgiving, compassionate, loving, and above all joyful in the knowledge that, by some miracle of grace, we can change as those around us can change too.

We find our energies are actually cramped when we are overanxious to succeed.

~Michel de Montaigne~

We find nothing easier than be...

We find nothing easier than being wise, patient, superior. We drip with the oil of forbearance and sympathy, we are absurdly just, we forgive everything. For that very reason we ought to discipline ourselves a little; for that very reason we ought to cultivate a little emotion, a little emotional vice, from time to time. It may be hard for us; and among ourselves we may perhaps laugh at the appearance we thus present. But what of that! We no longer have any other mode of self-overcoming available to us: this is our asceticism, our penance.

~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche~

We find it hard to believe that other people's thoughts are as silly as our own, but they probably are.

We find it hard to apply the knowledge of ourselves to our judgment of others. The fact that we are never of one kind, that we never love without reservations and never hate with all our being cannot prevent us from seeing others as wholly black or white.

We feel at first as if some op...

We feel at first as if some opportunities of kindness and sympathy were lost, but learn afterward that any pure grief is ample recompense for all. That is, if we are faithful; -- for a spent grief is but sympathy with the soul that disposes events, and is as natural as the resin of Arabian trees. -- Only nature has a right to grieve perpetually, for she only is innocent. Soon the ice will melt, and the blackbirds sing along the river which he frequented, as pleasantly as ever. The same everlasting serenity will appear in this face of God, and we will not be sorrowful, if he is not.

~Henry David Thoreau~

We fancy men are individuals; so are pumpkins; but every pumpkin in the field goes through every point of pumpkin history.

We enter parliament in order t...

We enter parliament in order to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its own weapons. If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets and salaries for this bear's work, that is its affair. We do not come as friends, nor even as neutrals. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come.

~Paul Joseph Goebbels~

We enjoy playing with each oth...

We enjoy playing with each other, which I think is a pretty important part of this. If we didn't, we'd have given it up a long time ago. The idea when we started was to take five people and keep 'em together no matter what and see what we could get out of it, and we've pretty much stuck to that plan.

~Tom Petty~

We endeavor more that men shou...

We endeavor more that men should speak of us, than how and what they speak, and it sufficeth us that our name run in men's mouths, in what manner soever. It stemma that to be known is in some sort to have life and continuance in other men's keeping.

We enact many laws that manufacture criminals, and then a few that punish them.

~Abraham Tucker~

We emphasize that we believe in change because we were born of it, we have lived by it, we prospered and grew great by it. So the status quo has never been our god, and we ask no one else to bow down before it.

We don't want to fight, but by jingo if we do, We've got the ships, we've got the men, we've got the money too. We've fought the Bear before and while we're Britons true, The Russians shall not have Constantinople.

We don't need to eat anyone who would run, swim, or fly away if he could.

~James Cromwell~

We don't manage our time as we...

We don't manage our time as well as we manage our space.  There's an overhead of starting and an overhead of stopping a project because you kind of lose your momentum.  And you've got to bracket and put aside all the things you're already doing.  So you need reasonably large blocks of uninterrupted time if you're going to be successful at doing some of these things.  That's why hackers tend to stay up late.  If you stay up late and you have another hour of work to do, you can just stay up another hour later without running into a wall and having to stop.  Whereas it might take three or four hours if you start over, you might finish if you just work that extra hour.  If you're a morning person, the day always intrudes a fixed amount of time in the future.  So it's much less efficient.  Which is why I think computer people tend to be night people - because a machine doesn't get sleepy.

We don't know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don't understand our name at all, we don't know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.

We do not want the men of another color for our brothers-in-law, but we do want them for our brothers.

~Booker T. Washington~

We do not want our world to pe...

We do not want our world to perish. But in our quest for knowledge, century by century, we have placed all our trust in a cold, impartial intellect which only brings us nearer to destruction. We have heeded no wisdom offering guidance. Only by learning to love one another can our world be saved. Only love can conquer all.

We do not really feel grateful toward those who make our dreams come true; they ruin our dreams.

~Eric Hoffer~

We do not quite say that the n...

We do not quite say that the new is more valuable because it fits in; but its fitting in is a test of its value -- a test, it is true, which can only be slowly and cautiously applied, for we are none of us infallible judges of conformity.

We do not die wholly at our deaths: we have moldered away gradually long before. Faculty after faculty, interest after interest, attachment after attachment disappear: we are torn from ourselves while living.

We demand that people should be true to the pictures we have of them, no matter how repulsive those pictures may be: we prefer the true portrait in all its homogeneity, to one with a detail added which refuses to fit in.

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

We declare our right on this earth to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary.

We change, whether we like it or not.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

We challenge the culture of violence when we ourselves act in the certainty that violence is no longer acceptable, that it's tired and outdated no matter how many cling to it in the stubborn belief that it still works and that it's still valid.

~Sir Thomas Browne~

We cannot tell what may happen...

We cannot tell what may happen to us in the strange medley of life. But we can decide what happens in us - how we take it, what we do with it - and that is what really counts in the end.

~Joseph Newton~

We cannot tell the precise mom...

We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over. So in a series of kindnesses there is, at last, one which makes the heart run over.

~James Boswell~

We cannot talk to God strongly...

We cannot talk to God strongly when we have not lived for God strongly. The closet cannot be made holy to God when the life has not been holy to God.

~E. M. Bounds~

We cannot solve life's problem...

We cannot solve life's problems except by solving them.

~M. Scott Peck~

We cannot safely assume that o...

We cannot safely assume that other people's minds work on the same principles as our own. All too often, others with whom we come in contact do not reason as we reason, or do not value the things we value, or are not interested in what interests us.

~Havelock Ellis~

We cannot really love anybody ...

We cannot really love anybody with whom we never laugh.

~Agnes Repplier~

We cannot put off living until...

We cannot put off living until we are ready. The most salient characteristic of life is its coerciveness: it is always urgent, ""here and now,"" without any possible postponement. Life is fired at us point-blank.

We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men.

We cannot hand our faith to on...

We cannot hand our faith to one another. ... Even in the Middle Ages, when faith was theoretically uniform, it was always practically individual.

~John Jay Chapman~

We cannot get grace from gadge...

We cannot get grace from gadgets.  In the Bakelite house of the future, the dishes may not break, but the heart can.  Even a man with ten shower baths may find life flat, stale and unprofitable.

~J.B. Priestley~

We cannot feel strongly toward...

We cannot feel strongly toward the totally unlike because it is unimaginable, unrealizable; nor yet toward the wholly like because it is stale -- identity must always be dull company. The power of other natures over us lies in a stimulating difference which causes excitement and opens communication, in ideas similar to our own but not identical, in states of mind attainable but not actual.

~Charles Horton Cooley~

We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.

~Calvin Coolidge~

We cannot discuss the state of...

We cannot discuss the state of our minorities until we first have some sense of what we are, who we are, what our goals are, and what we take life to be. The question is not what we can do now for the hypothetical Mexican, the hypothetical Negro. The question is what we really want out of life, for ourselves, what we think is real.

We cannot carry our father's corpse with us everywhere we go.

~Guillaume Apollinaire, The Cubist Painters, 1913~

We cannot blame the schools al...

We cannot blame the schools alone for the dismal decline in SAT verbal scores.  When our kids come home from school do they pick up a book or do they sit glued to the tube, watching music videos?  Parents, don't make the mistake of thinking your kid only learns between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

~George Bush~

We cannot bear to regard ourselves simply as playthings of blind chance; we cannot admit to feeling ourselves abandoned.

We cannot be saved until we have risen above all our enemies, not the least of which is ignorance.

~Joseph Smith~

We cannot be kind to each other here for even an hour. We whisper, and hint, and chuckle and grin at our brother's shame; however you take it we men are a little breed.

~Lord Alfred Tennyson~

We cannot banish dangers, but ...

We cannot banish dangers, but we can banish fears.  We must not demean life by standing in awe of death.

~David Sarnoff~

We cannot assume the injustice...

We cannot assume the injustice of any actions which only create offense, and especially as regards religion and morals. He who utters or does anything to wound the conscience and moral sense of others, may indeed act immorally; but, so long as he is not guilty of being importunate, he violates no right.

~Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt~

We cannot ask in behalf of Christ what Christ would not ask Himself if He were praying.

~A. B. Simpson~

We cannot always control our thoughts, but we can control our words, and repetition impresses the subconscious, and we are then master of the situation.

We can't all be heroes because somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.

~Will Rogers~

We Can't Afford to Doubt Ourse...

We Can't Afford to Doubt Ourselves I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door-or I'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.

~E. M. Bounds~

We can never go back again, th...

We can never go back again, that much is certain. The past is still too close to us. The things we have tried to forget and put behind us would stir again, and that sense of fear, of furtive unrest... might in some manner unforeseen become a living companion, as it had before.

~Daphne du Maurier~

We can never give up the belie...

We can never give up the belief that good guys always win. And that we are the good guys.

We can in fact only define a weed, mutatis mutandis, in terms of the well-known definition of dirt - as matter out of place. What we call a weed is in fact merely a plant growing where we do not want it.

~Charles de Lint~

We call that person who has lo...

We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower, that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known that immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language holds its peace in impotence.

~Joseph Roux~

We call first truths those we discover after all the others.

~Albert Camus~

We call a man a bigot or a slave of dogma because he is a thinker who has thought thoroughly and to a definite end.

We begin to die as soon as we are born, and the end is linked to the beginning.

~Marcus Manilius~

We begin life with the world p...

We begin life with the world presenting itself to us as it is.  Someone - our parents, teachers, analysts - hypnotizes us to "see" the world and construe it in the "right" way.  These others label the world, attach names and give voices to the beings and events in it, so that thereafter, we cannot read the world in any other language or hear it saying other things to us.  The task is to break the hypnotic spell, so that we become undeaf, unblind and multilingual, thereby letting the world speak to us in new voices and write all its possible meanings in the new book of our existence.  Be careful in your choice of hypnotists.

We are, each of us angels with only one wing; and we can only fly by embracing one another.

~Luciano de Crescenzo~

We are, despite all our great ...

We are, despite all our great technological advances, still very much a simple biological phenomenon. Despite our grandiose ideas and our lofty self-conceits, we are still humble animals, subject to all the basic laws of animal behavior. - We tend to suffer from a strange complacency - that there is something special about us, that we are somehow above biological control. But we are not. Many exciting species have become extinct in the past and we are no exception. Sooner or later we shall go, and make way for something else. If it is to be later rather than sooner, then we must take a long, hard look at ourselves as biological specimens and gain some understanding of our limitations.

We are young only once, after that we need some other excuse.

~Author Unknown~

We are wont to condemn self-lo...

We are wont to condemn self-love; but what we really mean to condemn is contrary to self-love. It is that mixture of selfishness and self-hate that permanently pursues us, that prevents us from loving others, and that prohibits us from losing ourselves.

~Paul Valery~

We are willing enough to prais...

We are willing enough to praise freedom when she is safely tucked away in the past and cannot be a nuisance. In the present, amidst dangers whose outcome we cannot foresee, we get nervous about her, and admit censorship.

~Edward M. Forster
1879-1970, British Novelist, Essayist~

We are wide-eyed in contemplating the possibility that life may exist elsewhere in the universe, but we wear blinders when contemplating the possibilities of life on earth.

We are under a Constitution, but the Constitution is what the judges say it is.

We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.

We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came.

~John F. Kennedy~

We are threatened with sufferi...

We are threatened with suffering from three directions: from our own body, which is doomed to decay and dissolution and which cannot even do without pain and anxiety as warning signals; from the external world, which may rage against us with overwhelming and merciless forces of destruction; and finally from our relations to other men. The suffering which comes from this last source is perhaps more painful than any other.

We are the wrong people of the wrong skin in the wrong continent and what in the hell is everybody being reasonable about?

We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dream. Wandering by lone sea breakers, and sitting by desolate streams. World losers and world forsakers, for whom the pale moon gleams. Yet we are movers and the shakers of the world forever it seems.

We are the first nation in the history of the world to go to the poorhouse in an automobile.

~Will Rogers~

We are the creatures of imagin...

We are the creatures of imagination, passion, and self-will, more than of reason or even of self-interest. Even in the common transactions and daily intercourse of life, we are governed by whim, caprice, prejudice, or accident. The falling of a teacup puts us out of temper for the day; and a quarrel that commenced about the pattern of a gown may end only with our lives.

~William Hazlitt~

We are taxed twice as much by our idleness, three times as much by our pride and four times as much by our foolishness.

We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers-you can blame anyone, but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you want to change, you're the one who has got to change. It's as simple as that, isn't it?

We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation-rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing.

We are reformers in spring and summer; in autumn and winter we stand by the old; reformers in the morning, conservers at night. Reform is affirmative, conservatism negative; conservatism goes for comfort, reform for truth.

We are only born once - twice is not allowed - and it is necessary that we shall be no more, for all eternity; and yet you, who are not master of tomorrow, you keep on putting off your joy? Yet life is vainly consumed in these delays, and each of us does this without ever having known peace.

~Epicurus~
