Better Person Quotes (page 10)

Gold was not sure of many things, but he was definite about one: for every successful person he knew, he could name at least two others of greater ability, better, and higher intelligence who, by comparison, had failed. Joseph Heller
If a person measures his spiritual fulfillment in terms of cosmic visions, surpassing peace of mind, or ecstasy, then he is not likely to know much spiritual fulfillment. If, however, he measures it in terms of enjoying a sunrise, being warmed by a child's smile, or being able to help someone have a better day, then he is likely to know much spiritual fulfillment. Arthur Miller
You were faster than me. Better than me. I was too old and cautious. Any decent person who knos waht warfare is can never go into battle with a whole heart. But you didn't know. We made sure youo didn't know. You were reckless and brilliant and young. It's waht you were born for. Orson Scott Card

It is better to risk saving a guilty person than to condemn an innocent one. Voltaire
Well, I just don’t want you to think that this piece of shit is anything other than a pathetic, human defect. Nothing more. Not a monster, not a bogeyman. Nothing but another reason to feel better about yourself. Understand that it’s just a person - not worth devoting any nightmares to. Jhonen Vasquez
To think better, to think like the best humans, we are probably going to have to learn again to judge a person's intelligence, not by the ability to recite facts, but by the good order or harmoniousness of his or her surroundings. We must suspect that any statistical justification of ugliness and violence is a revelation of stupidity. (pg.192-193, People, Land, and Community) Wendell Berry
One quality in a person doesn't rule out any other quality. They can exist side by side, good and terrible. Socrates said it a lot better. Thomas Harris
She understands all at once, with a small shock, exactly what it is she always needed to tell Harland: being there in person is not the same as watching. You might see things better on television, but you'll never know if you were alive or dead while you watched. Barbara Kingsolver
Katharine Hepburn quote: "Most people our brought up to believe they are as good as the..."
Most people our brought up to believe they are as good as the person next to them, I was told I was better. Katharine Hepburn
For this great sickness that is upon us no one person is responsible, and no Christian is wholly free from blame. We have all contributed, directly or indirectly, to this sad state of affairs. We have been too blind to see, or too timid to speak out, or too self-satisfied to desire anything better than the poor average diet with which others appear satisfied. Aiden Wilson Tozer
I felt in my bones; first, that this world does not explain itself. It may be a miracle with a supernatural explanation; it may be a conjuring trick, with a natural explanation. But the explanation of the conjuring trick, if it is to satisfy me, will have to be better than the natural explanations I have heard. The thing is magic, true or false. Second, I came to feel as if magic must have a meaning, and meaning must have some one to mean it. There was something personal in the world, as in a... Gilbert K. Chesterton
Don't condemn if you see a person has a dirty glass of water, just show them the clean glass of water that you have. When they inspect it, you won't have to say that yours is better." -said by Elijah Muhammad to Malcolm X Malcolm X
John Irving quote: "there was no better company for an especially personal..."
there was no better company for an especially personal revelation than the company of virtual strangers. John Irving
Depending on the situation, sometimes you can know a person better in ten minutes than someone you have crossed paths with all your life. David Baldacci
Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others. Will Smith
