If the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“It is a sad thing to think of, but there is no doubt that genius lasts longer than beauty. That accounts for the fact that we all take such pains to over-educate ourselves. In the wild struggle for existence, we want to have something that endures, and so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the silly hope of keeping our place. The thoroughly well-informed man--that is the modern ideal. And the mind of the thoroughly well-informed man is a dreadful thing. It is like a bric-a-brac shop, all monsters and dust, with everything priced above its proper value.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“You are a wonderful creation. You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Perhaps, after all, America never has been discovered. I myself would say that it had merely been detected.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“I find him in the curves of certain lines, in the loveliness and subtleties of certain colours.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable. There is something unfair about it's use. It is hitting below the intellect.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“We live in an age that reads too much to be wise, and that thinks too much to be beautiful.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins. Intellect is in itself a mode of exaggeration, and destroys the harmony of any face. The moment one sits down to think, one becomes all nose, or all forehead, or something horrid. Look at the successful men in any of the learned professions. How perfectly hideous they are! Except, of course, in the Church. But then in the Church they don't think.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.”
Quote by -John Wooden
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other
Quote by -Mother Teresa
The greatest mistake is to think you are too strong to fall into temptation. Put your finger in the fire and it will burn. So we have to go through the fire.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself
Quote by -Mother Teresa
We interfere with God’s plans when we push in someone or something else not suitable for us. Be strict with yourself, and then be very strict with what you are receiving from the outside.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
I want you to be concerned about your next door neighbor. Do you know your next door neighbor?
Quote by -Mother Teresa
“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”
Quote by -John Wooden
Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights.
Quote by -John Wooden
“I’m no wizard, and I don’t like being thought of in that light at all. I think of a wizard as being some sort of magician or something, doing something on the sly or something, and I don’t want to be thought of in that way.”
Quote by -John Wooden
“Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights.”
Quote by -John Wooden
“I think fish is nice, but then I think that rain is wet, so who am I to judge?”
Quote by -Douglas Adams
“The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the 'Star Spangled Banner', but in fact the message was this: So long and thanks for all the fish.”
Quote by -Douglas Adams
“The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.”
Quote by -Douglas Adams
“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.”
Quote by -Douglas Adams
I think you get most of the most interesting work done in fields where people don't think they're doing art but are merely practicing a craft and working as good craftsmen. Being literate as a writer is good craft, is knowing your job, is knowing how to use your tools properly and not to damage the tools as you use them.
Quote by -Douglas Adams
I think that growing up in a crowded continent like Europe with an awful lot of competing claims, ideas... cultures... and systems of thought, we have, perforce, developed a more sophisticated notion of what the word 'freedom' means than I see much evidence of in America.
Quote by -Douglas Adams
If somebody thinks they're a hedgehog, presumably you just give 'em a mirror and a few pictures of hedgehogs and tell them to sort it out for themselves.
Quote by -Douglas Adams
