Schemes Quotes (page 5)

It wasn't only wickedness and scheming that made people unhappy...above all, it was the failure to grasp the simple truth that other people are as real as you. Ian Mcewan
He had no settled plan of life, nor looked forward at all, but merely lived from day to day. Yet he read a great deal in a desultory manner, without any scheme of study, as chance threw books in his way, and inclination directed him through them. James Boswell
You did what you were told or you didn't get paid, and if things went wrong it wasn't your problem. It was the fault of whatever idiot has accepted this message for sending in the first place. No one cared about you, and everyone at headquarters was an idiot. It wasn't your fault, no one listened to you.

Henry Kissinger. How I'm missing yer. You're the Doctor of my dreams. With your crinkly hair and your glassy stare. And your Machiavellian schemes. I know they say that you are very vain. And short and fat and pushy. But at least you're not insane. Henry Kissinger. How I'm missing yer. And wishing you were here. Henry Kissinger. How I'm missing yer. You're so chubby and so neat. With your funny clothes and your squishy nose. You're like a German parakeet. All right so people say that you... Graham Chapman
Just about every adult human being back then had a brain weighing about three kilogrammes! There was no en to the evil schemes that a thought machine that oversized couldn't imagine and execute.

Liz," said Mr. Cootes, lost in admiration, "when it comes to doping out a scheme, you're the snake's eyebrows! P. G. Wodehouse
I think this co-operative scheme is an uncommonly good one. It's much easier to work on someone else's job than one's own - gives one that delightful feelin' of interferin' and bossin' about, combined with the glorious sensation that another fellow is takin' all one's own work off one's hands. Dorothy L. Sayers
[T]hose who willed the means and wished the ends are not absolved from guilt by the refusal of reality to match their schemes. Christopher Hitchens
Jude leaped out of arm's reach, and walked along the trackway weeping--not from the pain, though that was keen enough; not from the perception of the flaw in the terrestrial scheme, by which what was good for God's birds was bad for God's gardener; but with the awful sense that he had wholly disgraced himself before he had been a year in the parish, and hence might be a burden to his great-aunt for life. Thomas Hardy
Jane Austen quote: "If one scheme of happiness fails, human nature turns to..."
If one scheme of happiness fails, human nature turns to another; if the first calculation is wrong, we make a second better. Jane Austen
They all attended Hester's church, which Dellarobia viewed as a complicated pyramid scheme of moral debt and credit resting ultimately on the shoulders of the Lord, but rife with middle managers. Barbara Kingsolver

Rachel Maddow quote: "Social security isn’t a ponzi scheme. It’s not bankrupting us...."
Social security isn’t a ponzi scheme. It’s not bankrupting us. It’s not an outrage. It is working. Rachel Maddow
In the external scheme of things, shining moments are as brief as the twinkling of an eye, yet such twinklings are what eternity is made of -- moments when we human beings can say "I love you," "I'm proud of you," "I forgive you," "I'm grateful for you." That's what eternity is made of: invisible imperishable good stuff. Fred Rogers
