For the most part, people live their normal lives. Except when at parties, in a group or away from home, then a different person emerges.

– RJ IntindolaRate it:

For the most part, we are the determinate factor for the consequences of our life. The belief others should add importance and statute to our life is infantile and a sign of weakness. The strong create meaning and purpose for themselves.

– RJ Intindola – (Gandolfo)Rate it:

For the ordinary man is passive. Within a narrow circle (home life, and perhaps the trade unions or local politics) he feels himself master of his fate, but against major events he is as helpless as against the elements. So far from endeavouring to influence the future, he simply lies down and lets things happen to him.

– George OrwellRate it:

For the past 30 years our nation’s spent $5 trillion trying to erase poverty, and the result, as you know, is that we didn’t get rid of it at all. In fact, we spread it. We destroyed the self-esteem of millions of people, grinding them down in a welfare system that penalizes moms for wanting to marry the father of their children, and penalizes moms for wanting to save money. Friends, that’s not right.

– J. C. WattsRate it:

For the peace of mind and life, religion is such a spiritual guide and coach that teaches the right way and drives to show the right path; alas, human fails to follow that.

– Ehsan SehgalRate it:

– Mehmet Murat ildanRate it:

For the perfect idler, for the passionate observer it becomes an immense source of enjoyment to establish his dwelling in the throng, in the ebb and flow, the bustle, the fleeting and the infinite. To be away from home and yet to feel at home anywhere; to see the world, to be at the very center of the world, and yet to be unseen of the world, such are some of the minor pleasures of those independent, intense and impartial spirits, who do not lend themselves easily to linguistic definitions. The observer is a prince enjoying his incognito wherever he goes.

– Charles BaudelaireRate it:

For the person for whom small things do not exist, the great is not great.

– José Ortega y GassetRate it:

For the pessimist, the new baby in the womb is already dead before he even sees the world. For, a new life means that a new death is approaching.

– Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:

For the preservation of chastity, an empty and rumbling stomach and fevered lungs are indispensable.

– St. JeromeRate it:

For the rest of my life I'm going to trust that God is always at work in all things, and give Him thanks long before my simplest prayers are answered.

– Nancy Parker BrummettRate it:

For the sake of peace one may lie, but peace itself should never be a lie.

– The TalmudRate it:

For the sense of smell, almost more than any other, has the power to recall memories and it is a pity that you use it so little.

– Rachel CarsonRate it:

For the skeptic there remains only one consolation if there should be such a thing as superhuman law it is administered with subhuman inefficiency.

– Eric AmblerRate it:

For the skeptic there remains only one consolation: if there should be such a thing as superhuman law it is administered with subhuman inefficiency.

For the sword outwears its sheath, And the soul wears out the breast, And the heart must pause for breathe, And love itself have rest

– Lord ByronRate it:

For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.

– AristotleRate it:

For the truth of the conclusions of physical science, observation is the supreme Court of Appeal. It does not follow that every item which we confidently accept as physical knowledge has actually been certified by the Court our confidence is that it would be certified by the Court if it were submitted. But it does follow that every item of physical knowledge is of a form which might be submitted to the Court. It must be such that we can specify (although it may be impracticable to carry out) an observational procedure which would decide whether it is true or not. Clearly a statement cannot be tested by observation unless it is an assertion about the results of observation. Every item of physical knowledge must therefore be an assertion of what has been or would be the result of carrying out a specified observational procedure.

For the uncontrolled there is no wisdom. For the uncontrolled there is no concentration, and for him without concentration, there is no peace. And for the unpeaceful how can there ever be happiness?

– Unknown, The Bhagavad GitaRate it:
