Best Quotes (page 40)

Spending of the best part of one's life earning money in order to enjoy questionable liberty during the least valuable part of it, reminds me of the Englishman who went to India to make a fortune first, in order that he might return to England and live the life of a poet. He should have gone up garret at once. Henry David Thoreau
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "Man is a creature that can get accustomed to anything, and I..."
Man is a creature that can get accustomed to anything, and I think that is the best definition of him. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Mr. Feld was right; life was like baseball, filled with loss and error, with bad hops and wild pitches, a game in which even champions lost almost as often as they won, and even the best hitters were put out seventy percent of the time. Michael Chabon
She liked to tell everyone that women make the best beekeepers, 'cause they have a special ability built into them to love creatures that sting. Sue Monk Kidd
I think the best evenings are when we have messages, things that make us think, but we can also laugh and enjoy each other's company. Jane Goodall
There are certain emotions in your body that not even your best friend can sympathize with, but you will find the right film or the right book, and it will understand you. Bjork
There is a fatality about all physical and intellectual distinction, the sort of fatality that seems to dog through history the faltering steps of kings. It is better not to be different from one's fellows. The ugly and the stupid have the best of it in this world. They can sit at their ease and gape at the play. If they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat. They live as we all should live, undisturbed, indifferent, and without disquiet. Oscar Wilde
Muhammad Ali quote: "To be a great champion you must believe you are the best. If..."
To be a great champion you must believe you are the best. If you’re not, pretend you are. Muhammad Ali
Robert A. Heinlein quote: "Remember though, your best weapon is between your ears and..."
Remember though, your best weapon is between your ears and under your scalp -provided it's loaded. Robert A. Heinlein
Thomas Wilson quote: "The best thing you can do is get very good at being you."
The best thing you can do is get very good at being you. Thomas Wilson
--you have too good a mind to throw away. I don't quite know what we're doing on this insignificant cinder spinning aay in a dark corner of the universe. That is a secret which the high gods have not confided in me. Yet one thing I believe and I believe it with every fibre of my being. A man must live by his light and do what little he can and do it as best he can. In this world goodness is destined to be defeated. But a man must go down fighting. That is the victory. To do anything less is... Walker Percy
Chaplin and Keaton are still the best. They know that there is nothing more serious than laughter, an art demanding infinite work, and that as long as the world revolves, making others laugh is the most splendid of activities. Eduardo Galeano
Prophetic pragmatism attempts to keep alive the sense of alternative ways of life and of struggle based on the best of the past. In this sense, the praxis of prophetic pragmatism is tragic action with revolutionary intent, usually reformist consequences and always visionary outlook. Cornel West
I hate to complain...No one is without difficulties, whether in high or low life, and every person knows best where their own shoe pinches. Abigail Adams
I believe it is customary to get one's washing over first in baths and bask afterwards; personally, I bask first. I have discovered that the first few minutes are the best and not to be wasted-- my brain always seethes with ideas and life suddenly looks much better than did. Dodie Smith
