The men and woman who make the best boon companions seem to have given up hope of doing something else...some defect of talent or opportunity has cut them off from their pet ambition and has thus left them with leisure to take an interest in their lives of others. Your ambition may be, it makes him keep his thoughts at home. But the heartbroken people -- if I may use the word in a mild, benevolent sense -- the people whose wills are subdued to fate, give us consolation, recognition, and welcome. – John Jay ChapmanRate it:
The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the greatest liars: the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth. – H. L. MenckenRate it:
The men who are great live with that which is substantial, they do not stay with that which is superficial they abide with realities, they remain not with what is showy. The one they discard, the other they hold. – Lao TzuRate it:
The men who are really busiest have the most leisure for everything. – Vikrant ParsaiRate it:
The men who come on the stage at one period are all found to be related to each other. Certain ideas are in the air. – Julie ArabiRate it:
The men who create power make an indispensable contribution to the Nation's greatness, but the men who question power make a contribution just as indispensable, especially when that questioning is disinterested, for they determine whether we use power or power uses us. – John F. Kennedy, Amherst College, Oct 26, 1963 - Source JFK Library, Boston, Mass.Rate it:
The men who create power make an indispensable contribution to the Nations greatness, but the men who question power make a contribution just as indispensable, especially when that questioning is disinterested, for they determine whether we use power or power uses us. – John F. KennedyRate it:
The men who really believe in themselves are all in lunatic asylums. – Gilbert Keith ChestertonRate it:
The men who rule the Democratic Party then promised the people that if they were returned to power there would be no central bank established here while they held the reigns of government. Thirteen months later that promise was broken, and the Wilson administration, under the tutelage of those sinister Wall Street figures who stood behind Colonel House, established here in our free Country the worm-eaten monarchical institution of the King's Bank to control us from the top downward, and from the cradle to the grave. – Louis McFaddenRate it:
The men who succeed best in public life are those who take the risk of standing by their own convictions. – James A. GarfieldRate it:
The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed. – Lloyd JonesRate it:
The mental plane is above the physical, just as the mental is useless before the spiritual. – Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:
The mentally healthy individual is he who habitually calls upon fairly deep levels of vital reserves. An individual whose mind is allowed to become dormant - so that only the surface is disturbed - begins to suffer from‘circulation problems’. Neurosis is the feeling of being cut off from your own powers. – Colin WilsonRate it:
The menu is not the meal. – Alan WattsRate it:
The mere apprehension of a coming evil has put many into a situation of the utmost danger. – LucanRate it:
The mere fact that you have obstacles to overcome is in your favor... – Robert CollierRate it:
The mere formulation of a problem is far more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skills. To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and marks real advances in science. – Albert EinsteinRate it:
The mere process of growing old together will make the slightest acquaintance seem a bosom friend. – Logan Pearsall SmithRate it:
The mere reality of life would be inconceivably poor without the charm of fancy, which brings in its bosom as many vain fears as idle hopes, but lends much oftener to the illusions it calls up a gay flattering hue than one which inspires terror. – Von HumboldtRate it:
The mere sense of living is joy enough. – Emily DickinsonRate it:
The merit of our Constitution was, not that it promotes democracy, but checks it. – Horatio SeymourRate it:
The message of this film, in my mind, is the same as Otto Frank's. Otto was adamant that Anne's diary had a universal message. He felt that it should not just be specific to the Jewish experience of the Holocaust. There are many who feel that the Holocaust was a uniquely Jewish experience and that Anne's story should be about the genocide of the Jews specifically. I don't agree. From my own lifetime, I've seen genocide and I've seen what happens when nations even turn against themselves and I have firmly hooked my flag to Otto's universalist message. He wanted to perpetuate her writings for those reasons and I'm more than comfortable, happy in fact, to be a small part of that. – Jon BlairRate it:
The message to take from Anne's story is to stop prejudice and discrimination right at its beginning. Prejudice starts when we speak about THE Jews, THE Arabs, THE Asians, THE Mexicans, THE Blacks, THE Whites. This leads to the feeling that all members of each such group think and act the same. That results in prejudice. Lumping entire groups of people together is RACISM, because it denies the fact that everyone is an individual. Even our own brothers and sisters or parents are not exactly like we are. So how do we dare to lump entire groups of people together? If any German had ever asked Anne to tell something about herself, I think she would be still with us today. However, nobody asked: she was just a Jew! Therefore, never base your opinion about anybody else on the color of that person's skin, or on the passport that a person carries, or on the family that person comes from, but only on what the person says and does and on NOTHING ELSE. – Miep GiesRate it:
The metaphor is perhaps one of man's most fruitful potentialities. Its efficacy verges on magic, and it seems a tool for creation which God forgot inside one of His creatures when He made him. – Jose Ortega y GassetRate it:
