It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world. John Steinbeck
Virginia Woolf quote: "The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages."
The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages. Virginia Woolf
We will see that our new attitude toward liquor has been given to us without any thought or effort on our part. It just comes! That is the miracle of it. William Griffith Wilson
For years I thought what was good for our country was good for General Motors and vice versa. The difference did not exist. Our company is too big. It goes with the welfare of the country. Charles Erwin Wilson
Just as we descend into our consciences to judge of actions which our minds can not weigh, can we not also search in ourselves for the feeling which gives birth to forms of thought, always vague and cloudy? Alfred de Vigny
I will commit myself to making this state an even greater place to live, work and raise a family. I intend to reach out from border to border to hear first-hand from our citizens about their thoughts, concerns and ideas for our state. Dave Heineman
Horace Walpole quote: "We often repent of our first thoughts, and scarce ever of our..."
We often repent of our first thoughts, and scarce ever of our second. Horace Walpole
In its conception the literature prize belongs to days when a writer could still be thought of as, by virtue of his or her occupation, a sage, someone with no institutional affiliations who could offer an authoritative word on our times as well as on our moral life. J. M. Coetzee
