I Can Do It Quotes (page 113)

Oscar Wilde quote: "It can never be necessary to do what is not honourable."
It can never be necessary to do what is not honourable. Oscar Wilde
It is never too late to give up our prejudices. No way of thinking or doing, however ancient, can be trusted without proof. What everybody echoes or in silence passes by as true today may turn out to be falsehood tomorrow, mere smoke of opinion, which some had trusted for a cloud that would sprinkle fertilizing rain on their fields. Henry David Thoreau
It is a profoundly erroneous truism that we should cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing. The precise opposite is the case. Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them. Alfred North Whitehead
It makes us a thread in a tapestry that has unrolled for centuries before us, and will unroll for centuries after us. We're midway through the loom, that's the present, and what we do casts the thread in a particular direction, and the picture of the tapestry changes accordingly. When we begin to to try to make a picture pleasing to us and to those who come after, then perhaps you can say that we have seized history. Kim Stanley Robinson
It's natural to want someone you love to do what you want, or what you think would be good for them, but you can't interfere with people you love anymore than you're supposed to interfere with people you don't even know. John Irving
It's like a telescope. My dad, no matter what he's doing, zooms right in so he can't see anything except what's right there with him at that minute. My mom, she's always on wide angle. Jodi Picoult
Do you think I could bear to live on after you died? Oh, Lyra, I'd follow you down to the world of the dead without thinking twice about it, just like you followed Roger; and that would be two lives gone for nothing, my life wasted like yours. No, we should spend our whole lifetimes together, good long busy lives, and if we can't spend them together, we... we'll have to spend them apart. Philip Pullman
It doesn't matter if a million people tell you what you can't do, or if ten million tell you no. If you get one yes from God that's all you need. Tyler Perry
Do you believe that a man in need can call soundlessly to another?"Perhaps, my lord. It has happened to me that thinking of a friend and meeting him are connected. But does thinking draw him or his coming draw the thought? John Steinbeck
It is strange that there should be so little reading in the world, and so much writing. People in general do not willingly read, if they can have any thing else to amuse them. Samuel Johnson
It is my opinion that human history can make no sense unless evil doings are recognized for what they are, and that they are bearable only if somehow they may be redeemed. Simon Conway Morris
Charles Grassley quote: "It wouldn't do me much good to back somebody that won in Iowa..."
It wouldn't do me much good to back somebody that won in Iowa if they can't carry on the campaign elsewhere. Charles Grassley
It's not about doing over the living room of someone who has bad taste in color. This is about restoring historic buildings and instilling pride in a community, which can be done through designing new public spaces and social gathering spots. Genevieve Gorder
R. Lee Ermey quote: "It's my firm conviction that when Uncle Sam calls, by God we..."
It's my firm conviction that when Uncle Sam calls, by God we go, and we do the best that we can. R. Lee Ermey
It's difficult for me to meet women because my crowd is much older. I know that for some of the young women I do meet, a relationship with me can be envisioned as a benefit to their career. Michael Douglas
