Mays Quotes (page 234)

An intellectual may be defined as a man who speaks with general authority about a subject on which he has no particular competence. Irving Kristol
Three or four threads may be agitated, like telegraph wires, at the same time, and if I were to tap them all I would reveal such a mixture of innocence and duplicity, generosity and calculation, fear and courage, I cannot tell the whole truth simply because I would have to write four journals at once. Anais Nin
Demi Lovato quote: "An impact is like a punch it may hurt put it passes."
An impact is like a punch it may hurt put it passes. Demi Lovato
Claims that cannot be tested, assertions immune to disproof are veridically worthless, whatever value the may have in inspiring us or in exciting our sense of wonder. Carl Sagan
Come o'er the sea, Maiden with me, Mine through the sunshine, storms and snows; Seasons may roll, But the true soul. Burns the same, where'er it goes. Thomas Moore
Civilization merely develops man's capacity for a greater variety of sensations, and... absolutely nothing else. And through the development of this capacity, man may yet come to find pleasure in the spilling of blood. Fyodor Dostoevsky

Then I felt too that I might take this opportunity to tie up a few loose ends, only of course loose ends can never be properly tied, one is always producing new ones.

Human arrangements are nothing but loose ends and hazy reckoning, whatever art may otherwise pretend in order to console us. Iris Murdoch
Wallace Stevens quote: "From oriole to crow, note the decline. In music. Crow is..."
From oriole to crow, note the decline. In music. Crow is realist. But, then, Oriole, also, may be realist. Wallace Stevens
I should love to satisfy all, if I possibly can; but in trying to satisfy all, I may be able to satisfy none. I have, therefore, arrived at the conclusion that the best course is to satisfy one’s own conscience and leave the world to form its own judgment, favorable or otherwise. Mahatma Gandhi
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful worldas it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things rightif I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with HimForever in the next. Amen. Reinhold Niebuhr
We live less than the time it takes to blink an eye, if we measure our lives against eternity...a blink of an eye in itself is nothing. But the eye that blinks, that is something. A span of life is nothing. But the man who lives that span, he is something. He can fill that tiny span with meaning, so its quality is immeasurable though its quantity may be insignificant...A man must fill his life with meaning, meaning is not automatically given to life. Chaim Potok

Material success may result in the accumulation of possessions; but only spiritual success will enable you to enjoy them Nido Qubein
Soren Kierkegaard quote: "No one may pride himself at being more than an individual, and..."
No one may pride himself at being more than an individual, and no one despondently think that he is not an individual... Soren Kierkegaard
