– Vikrant ParsaiRate it:

It is easy to fly into a passion--anybody can do that--but to be angry with the right person and at the right time and with the right object and in the right way--that is not easy, and it is not everyone who can do it.

– AristotleRate it:

– Vikrant ParsaiRate it:

It is easy to go down into hell night and day, the gates of dark death stand wide, but to climb back again, to retrace one's steps to the upper air - there's the rub, the task.

– VirgilRate it:

– GuicciardiniRate it:

It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.

– Mother TeresaRate it:

It is easy to make light of insistence on scrupulous regard for the safeguards of civil liberties when invoked on behalf of the unworthy. History bears testimony that by such disregard are the rights of liberty extinguished, heedlessly at first, then stealthily, and brazenly in the end.

– Felix FrankfurterRate it:

It is easy to pick out the best people. They will help you to do it.

– Vikrant ParsaiRate it:

It is easy to say how we love new friends, and what we think of them, but words can never trace out all the fibers that knit us to the old.

– M. GrundlerRate it:

It is easy to think the State has a lot of different objects -- military, political, economic, and what not. But in a way things are much simpler than that. The State exists simply to promote and to protect the ordinary happiness of human beings in this life. A husband and wife chatting over a fire, a couple of friends having a game of darts in a pub, a man reading a book in his own room or digging in his own garden -- that is what the State is there for. And unless they are helping to increase and prolong and protect such moments, all the laws, parliaments, armies, courts, police, economics, etc., are simply a waste of time.

– C. S. LewisRate it:

It is easy when we are in prosperity to give advice to the afflicted.

– AeschylusRate it:

It is embarrassing to have to remind people of this in the United States of America. In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson singled out three natural rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The last phrase, appearing instead of property, has prompted much discussion. I cannot say what Jefferson was thinking. But here's a plausible theory: Property is already implicit in liberty. If you are free, you can use your belongings as you see fit. But by specifying the pursuit of happiness Jefferson might have been pointing out that the blessing of liberty need not be justified through selfless service to others. One's life and happiness on earth are justification enough.

– Sheldon RichmanRate it:

It is energy -- the central element of which is will -- that produces the miracle that is enthusiasm in all ages. Everywhere it is what is called force of character and the sustaining power of all great action.

– Samuel SmilesRate it:

It is entirely possible to win against the enemy, it is possible, even, to kill the enemy... and still be defeated by the battle.

– Walter Wangerin, Jr., Book of the Dun CowRate it:

It is entirely seemly for a young man killed in battle to lie mangled by the bronze spear. In his death all things appear fair. But when dogs shame the gray head and gray chin and nakedness of an old man killed, it is the most piteous thing that happens among wretched mortals.

– HomerRate it:

It is equally offensive to speed a guest who would like to stay and to detain one who is anxious to leave.
