It is because Humanity has never known where it was going that it has been able to find its way.

– Oscar WildeRate it:

It is because modern education is so seldom inspired by a great hope that it so seldom achieves great results. The wish to preserve the past rather that the hope of creating the future dominates the minds of those who control the teaching of the young.

– Bertrand RussellRate it:

It is because the public are a mass -- inert, obtuse, and passive -- that they need to be shaken up from time to time so that we can tell from their bear-like grunts where they are -- and also where they stand. They are pretty harmless, in spite of their numbers, because they are fighting against intelligence.

– Alfred JarryRate it:

It is because the will has no power to bring about salvation that the idea of secular morality is an absurdity. What is called morality only depends on the will in what is, so to speak, its most muscular aspect. Religion on the contrary corresponds to desire, and it is desire that saves...To long for God and to renounce all the rest, that alone can save.”

– Simone WeilRate it:

It is because they took the easy way out, That rivers and people, go crooked.

– Jill PetersonRate it:

It is becoming increasingly apparent that many - arguably most - of the problems that plague our nation have been aggravated rather than alleviated by federal intervention. In one area after another, massive infusions of tax dollars have been squandered on false solutions which, when they fail to achieve their stated objectives, are cited to justify even more spending on other futile schemes that result in bigger government. Examples include programs and laws supposedly intended to reduce racial animosity which have instead heightened race-related tensions; welfare schemes that, rather than reducing poverty, have enticed millions of Americans to become dependent on Washington for their daily bread; federal funding (and control) of education, which has spawned a monumental education crisis; a war on drugs which has done little to curb drug traffic, but which has eroded many personal liberties; a health-care finance system that has deteriorated as government meddling and regulation have increased; and a masochistic immigration policy larded with false solutions that, while failing to stop the inflow of illegal aliens, have paved the way for further government intrusion into the lives of nearly all Americans.

– Robert W. LeeRate it:

It is being honest about my pain that makes me invincible.

– unknownRate it:

It is believed that hatred is only a shadow of love. I believe it can't be far from a mere illusion whenever someone is deeply in love with their significant other.

– Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:

It is best to do things systematically, since we are only human, and disorder is our worst enemy.

– HesiodRate it:

It is best to love wisely, no doubt: but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all.

– William Makepeace ThackerayRate it:

It is better and easier to build boys ( minor tune up ) then to repair men ( major overhaul. )

– Ralph Waldo EmersonRate it:

It is better and wiser to punish a perpetrator and the offender than to ignore the reaction of the victims.

– Ehsan SehgalRate it:

It is better for civilization to be going down the drain than to be coming up it.

– Henry AllenRate it:

It is better in some respects to be admired by those with whom you live, than to be loved by them. And this is not on account of any gratification of vanity, but because admiration is so much more tolerant than love.

– Sir Arthur HelpsRate it:

It is better of course to know useless things than to know nothing.

– Tom StoppardRate it:

It is better one time to see things than one hundred times to hear about them.
