Lord Chesterfield Quotes |
|
“Habits... the only reason they persist is that they are offering some satisfaction. You allow them to persist by not seeking any other, better form of satisfying the same needs. Every habit, good or bad, is acquired and learned in the same way -- by finding that it is a means of satisfaction.”
Juliene Berk Quotes |
|
“The more deeply the path is etched, the more it is used, and the more it is used, the more deeply it etched.”
Jo Coudert Quotes |
|
“Any act often repeated soon forms a habit; and habit allowed, steady gains in strength, At first it may be but as a spider's web, easily broken through, but if not resisted it soon binds us with chains of steel.”
Tryon Edwards Quotes |
|
“I am what is mine. Personality is the original personal property.”
Norman O. Brown Quotes |
|
“Any young person who has studied Heidegger; or seen Ionesco's 'plays'; or listened to the 'music' of John Cage; or looked at Andy Warhol's 'paintings'- has experienced that feeling of incredulous puzzlement: But this is nonsense! Can I really be expected to take this seriously?In fact, of course, it is necessary for it to be nonsense; if it made sense, it could be evaluated. The essence of modern intellectual snobbery is the 'emperor's new cloths' approach. Teachers, critics, our self-appointed intellectual elite, make it quite clear to us that if we cannot see the superlative nature of this 'art'- why, it merely shows our ignorance, our lack of sophistication and insight. Of course, they go beyond the storybook emperor's tailors, who dressed their victim in nothing and called it fine garments. The modern tailors dress the emperor in garbage.”
Ron Merrill Quotes |
|
“...we are entitled to make almost any reasonable assumption, but should resist making conclusions until evidence requires that we do so.”

“...definitions are temporary verbalizations of concepts, and concepts- particularly difficult concepts- are usually revised repeatedly as our knowledge and understanding grows.”
Ernst Mayr Quotes |
|
“New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common.”
John Locke Quotes |
|
“Violence arises not out of superfluity of power but out of powerlessness.”
Rollo May Quotes |
|
“Responsibility and danger do not tend to free or stimulate the average person's mind- rather the contrary; but wherever they do liberate an individual's judgement and confidence we can be sure that we are in the presence of exceptional ability.”
Carl Von Clausewitz Quotes |
|
“When under the pretext of fraternity, the legal code imposes mutual sacrifices on the citizens, human nature is not thereby abrogated. Everyone will then direct his efforts toward contributing little to, and taking much from, the common fund of sacrifices. Now, is it the most unfortunate who gains from this struggle? Certainly not, but rather the most influential and calculating.”
Frederic Bastiat Quotes |
|
“Sometimes the subconscious mind manifests a wisdom several steps or even years ahead of the conscious mind, and has its own way of leading us toward our destiny.”
Nathaniel Branden Quotes |

“It is very good for a man to talk about what he does not understand; as long as he understands that he does not understand it.”
Gilbert Keith Chesterton Quotes |
|
“The endeavor to understand is the first and only basis of virtue.”
Baruch Spinoza Quotes |
