Carefulness Quotes (page 129)

Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. Marcus Aurelius
Base words are uttered only by the base. And can for such at once be understood; But noble platitudes? ah, there's a case. Where the most careful scrutiny is needed. To tell a voice that's genuinely good. From one that's base but merely has succeeded. W. H. Auden
It is after all so easy to shatter a story. To break a chain of thought. To ruin a fragment of a dream being carried around carefully like a piece of porcelain. To let it be, to travel with it, as Velutha did, is much the harder thing to do. Arundhati Roy
A revolution is coming? a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough; compassionate if we care enough; successful if we are fortunate enough? but a revolution which is coming whether we will it or not. We can affect its character; we cannot alter its inevitability. John F. Kennedy
I have faith that God will show you the answer. But you have to understand that sometimes it takes a while to be able to recognize what God wants you to do. That's how it often is. God's voice is usually nothing more than a whisper, and you have to listen very carefully to hear it. But other times, in those rarest of moments, the answer is obvious and rings as loud as a church bell. Nicholas Sparks
I think it's God that makes people care for people, Jefferson. I think it's God makes children play and people sing. I believe it's God that brings loved ones together. I believe it's God that makes trees bud and food grow out of the earth. Ernest Gaines
Now I take care of animals. I go to their homes while their owners are away and feed them and groom them and play with them. They don't ask a lot of questions or expect much from me, and I don't have to interact with people any more than I choose to. At least most of the time. Bill Bennett
I saw the world. I learnt of new cultures. I flew across an ocean. I wore women's clothing. Made a friend. Fell in love. Who cares if I lost a wager? Queen Victoria: I do! I've got 20 quid riding on you Jules Verne
Antoine de Saint-Exupery quote: "But, of course, for those of us who understand life, we would..."
But, of course, for those of us who understand life, we would not care less about figures. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
George R. R. Martin quote: "be careful what you say. The gods may not be the only ones..."
be careful what you say. The gods may not be the only ones listening. George R. R. Martin
I resolved to move just a little bit more slowly through the world, to look around myself with greater care, and to try to remain conscious of all that was going on around me at all times. Anne Rice
What is most mortifying of all is that it is chance - simply a barbarous, lagging chance. That is what is mortifying! Five minutes, only five minutes too late! Had I come five minutes earlier, the moment would have passed away like a cloud, and it would never have entered her head again. And it would have ended by her understanding it all. But now again empty rooms, and me alone. Here the pendulum is ticking; it does not care, it has no pity... There is no one - that's the misery of it! Fyodor Dostoevsky
I knew then that I would have to be careful. I would have to wear gloves, to leave no trace when I burgled the crammed house of feeling and took for my own use exuberance depression suspicion terror. Janet Frame
If anyone wants to save the planet, all they have to do is just stop eating meat. That's the single most important thing you could do. It's staggering when you think about it. Vegetarianism takes care of so many things in one shot: ecology, famine, cruelty. Paul McCartney
Herodotus quote: "Hippocleides doesn't care."
Hippocleides doesn't care. Herodotus
