Then Quotes (page 150)

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face, And show the world all the love in your heart, then people gonna treat you better. You're gonna find, yes, you will, That you're beautiful as you feel. Carole King
If by religion we are to understand sectarian dogmas, in which no two of them agree, then your exclamation on that hypothesis is just, "that this would be the best of worlds if there were no religion in it. Thomas Jefferson
Ernest Hemingway quote: "I try not to borrow, first you borrow then you beg."
I try not to borrow, first you borrow then you beg. Ernest Hemingway
They are not long, the weeping and the laughter, Love and desire and hate: I think they have no portion in us after. We pass the gate. They are not long, the days of wine and roses: Out of a misty dream. Our path emerges for a while, then closes. Within a dream Ernest Dowson
In like manner, if I let myself believe anything on insufficient evidence, there may be no great harm done by the mere belief; it may be true after all, or I may never have occasion to exhibit it in outward acts.

The danger to society is not merely that it should believe wrong things, though that is great enough; but that it should become credulous, and lose the habit of testing things and inquiring into them;... William Kingdon Clifford
What does it mean to be yourself?” he asked. “If it means to do what you think you ought to do, then you’re doing that already. If it means to act like you’re exempt from society’s influence, that’s the worst advice in the world; you would probably stop bathing and wearing clothes. The advice to ‘be yourself’ is obviously nonsense. But our brains accept this tripe as wisdom because it is more comfortable to believe we have a strategy for life than to believe we have no idea how to behave. Scott Adams
For two extraordinary years I have been working on it - learning to write - but mostly learning how to tell the truth. At first it is quite impossible. You make yourself better than anybody, then worse than anybody, and when you finally come to see you are "like" everybody - that is the bitterest blow of all to the ego. But in the end it is only the truth, no matter how ugly or shameful, that is right, that fits together, that makes real people, and strangely enough - beauty... Louise Brooks
John C. Maxwell quote: "Everything begins with a decision. Then, we have to manage..."
Everything begins with a decision. Then, we have to manage that decision for the rest of your life. John C. Maxwell
Perhaps all our loves are merely hints and symbols; vagabond-language scrawled on gate-posts and paving-stones along the weary road that others have tramped before us; perhaps you and I are types and this sadness which sometimes falls between us springs from disappointment in our search, each straining through and beyond the other, snatching a glimpse now and then of the shadow which turns the corner always a pace or two ahead of us. Evelyn Waugh
To fly is the opposite of traveling: you cross a gap in space, you vanish into the void, you accept not being in a place for a duration that is itself a kind of void in time; then you reappear, in a place and in a moment with no relation to the where and when in which you vanished. Italo Calvino
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "why shouldn't he? All life is just a progression toward and..."
why shouldn't he? All life is just a progression toward and then a recession from one phrase-- 'I love you F. Scott Fitzgerald
Virginia Woolf quote: "But then anyone who's worth anything reads just what he likes,..."
But then anyone who's worth anything reads just what he likes, as the mood takes him, and with extravagant enthusiasm. Virginia Woolf
Zora Neale Hurston quote: "I love myself when I am laughing. . . and then again when I am..."
I love myself when I am laughing. . . and then again when I am looking mean and impressive. Zora Neale Hurston
The wind is us-- it gathers and remembers all our voices, then sends them talking and telling through the leaves and the fields. Truman Capote
...The band did a salute to Stephen Foster and played 'Beautiful Dreamer' and we formed a bed. Then we played 'My Old Kentucky Home' while the majorettes slowly pranced like horses. We finished with 'I Dream of Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair', we formed a comb. Miss Philpot is running out of ideas if you ask me. Fannie Flagg
