Quotes with things
I think most of the things I published have been published out of desperation, not because they were perfected.
"An Interview with M. H. Abrams" by Sharon Hamilton (March 10, 2007)

Things Fall Apart
He condemned openly Mr. Brown's policy of compromise and accommodation. He saw things as black and white. And black was evil. He saw the world as a battlefield in which the children of light were locked in mortal conflict with the sons of darkness.
Things Fall Apart
The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers, and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.
Things Fall Apart
Once a novel gets going and I know it is viable, I don't then worry about plot or themes. These things will come in almost automatically because the characters are now pulling the story.
The only things in my life that compatibly exist with this grand universe are the creative works of the human spirit.
Ansel Adams: An Autobiography (1985)
The alien ship was already thundering toward the upper reaches of the atmosphere, on its way out into the appalling void that separates the very few things there are in the Universe from one another.
Life, the Universe and Everything (1982)
Anything can be real. Every imaginable thing is happening somewhere along the dimensional axis. These things happen a billion times over with exactly the same outcome and no one learns anything. Whatever a person can think, imagine, wish for, or believe has already come to pass. Dreams come true all the time, just not for the dreamers.
And Another Thing... (2009)
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
Three things have been difficult to tame: the oceans, fools and women. We may soon be able to tame the oceans; fools and women will take a little longer.

There are two things people want more than sex and money... recognition and praise.
Computers can figure out all kinds of problems, except the things in the world that just don't add up.
One demands two things of a poem. Firstly, it must be a well-made verbal object that does honor to the language in which it is written. Secondly, it must say something significant about a reality common to us all, but perceived from a unique perspective. What the poet says has never been said before, but, once he has said it, his readers recognize its validity for themselves.
You have no birthday because you have always lived; you were never born, and never will die. You are not the child of the people you call mother and father, but their fellow-adventurer on a bright journey to understand the things that are.
There's No Such Place As Far Away (1978)
One thing I was thinking about the other day was you can't even conceive of the kinds of things you can do in movies today. The idea that you could draw, in a computer, dinosaurs and have them running around was totally impossible.
Money, it turned out, was exactly like sex; you thought of nothing else if you didn't have it and thought of other things if you did.
One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore faith in yourself.
There are no such things as incurable, there are only things for which man has not found a cure.
Speech (April 30, 1954)
History is the memory of things said and done.
Address at the American Historical Association (December 1931)
If the essence of history is the memory of things said and done, then it is obvious that every normal person, Mr. Everyman, knows some history.
Address at the American Historical Association (December 1931)
I have had a wonderful life. I have never regretted what I did. I regret things I didn't do. All my life I've done things at a moment's notice. Those are the things I remember. I was given courage, a sense of adventure and a little bit of humor. I don't think anyone has the right to intrude in your life, but they do. I would like people to separate the actress and the woman.
Throughout my career I have been talked out of things I wanted to do, and when I look back I think, I should have followed my instincts. I relied on others to guide me because I thought they knew better. But as I've gotten older, I've learned to trust myself.
It is the paradox of life that the way to miss pleasure is to seek it first. The very first condition of lasting happiness is that a life should be full of purpose, aiming at something outside self. As a matter of experience, we find that true happiness comes in seeking other things, in the manifold activities of life, in the healthful outgoing of all human powers.
Culture and Restraint (1901)
That's really what acting is: you imagine things, then you respond naturally to what you've imagined.
Every valuable human being must be a radical and a rebel, for what he must aim at is to make things better than they are.
The worst derangement of the spirit is to believe things because we want them to be so, not because we have seen them for what they are.
Melancholy sees the worst of things,—things as they may be, and not as they are. It looks upon a beautiful face, and sees but a grinning skull.
Intuitions and Summaries of Thought (1862)
Probably the closest things to perfection are the huge absolutely empty holes that astronomers have recently discovered in space. If there's nothing there, how can anything go wrong?
An Unfortunate Woman: A Journey (2000)
I'm in a constant process of thinking about things. I'll think about things for thirty or forty years before I'll write it.
Surely it is more honourable to do great things, than to speak or read great things!...When a Christian has one eye upon his book, the other should be looking up to heaven for a blessing upon what he reads.
The Unsearchable Riches of Christ
Be bold and courageous. When you look back on your life, you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the ones you did.
21 Suggestions for Success
Most of us know what we need to do to make our lives more fulfilled and useful, but sometimes we forget. My little books are gentle reminders of those simple things which, if done well and in a spirit of love, can significantly change our lives.
Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
If we are asked what is the most essential characteristic that underlies this word, the word itself will guide us to gentleness, to absence of such things as brow-beating, overbearing manners and fuss, and generally to consideration for other people.
The Notebooks of Samuel Butler (1912)
Bad temper is its own scourge. Few things are bitterer than to feel bitter. A man's venom poisons himself more than his victim.
Outward things don't give; they draw out. You find in them what you bring to them. A cathedral makes only the devotional feel devotional; scenery refines only the fine-minded.
Truth is a gem that is found at a great depth; whilst on the surface of the world all things are weighed by the false scale of custom.
Under my tent in the fiercest struggle of war I have always found time to think of many other things.
Attributed to Caesar in Pushing to The Front (1894) by Orison Swett Marden.
An old man was asked what had robbed him of joy in his life. His reply was, "Things that never happened."
Do you remember the things you were worrying about a year ago? How did they work out? Didn't you waste a lot of fruitless energy on account of most of them? Didn't most of them turn out all right after all?
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
Take care, your worship, those things over there are not giants but windmills.
A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.
Next to doing things that deserve to be written, nothing gets a man more credit, or gives him more pleasure than to write things that deserve to be read.
Much of our modern difficulty, in religion and other things, arises merely from this: that we confuse the word "indefinable" with the word "vague."
Charles Dickens (1906)
The indefinable is the indisputable. The man next door is indefinable, because he is too actual to be defined. And there are some to whom spiritual things have the same fierce and practical proximity; some to whom God is too actual to be defined.
Charles Dickens (1906)
Even when you think you have your life all mapped out, things happen that shape your destiny in ways you might never have imagined.
All women are aware of that moment when suddenly the boys don't look at you. It's a fairly common thing, when suddenly you no longer attract that instant male attention because of the way you look. I never really knew how to enjoy beauty, but it took the form of a subconscious arrogance, expecting things, all muddled up with celebrity. Then you begin to deal with it. In the 1970s I was amazed to be talked about as a 60s sex symbol. I wasn't that person, as if I were a doll from the past. I had to learn to come to terms with that. It's funny, it's silly, the ridiculousness of having asked so much of celebrity. Then it becomes really interesting and very much part of the excitement of the life you're living now, knowing you're approaching the end of it.
Interview with New York Times, published April 18, 2007.
I am innumerate. I had great earning years, but it went through my fingers. I no longer have a career to build. So I do a few things to pay the bills. I cannot complain. I am comfortable, my God.
The little things that made up the fabric of the first six years of my life were suddenly ripped away, and I didn't have anyone around me who loved me. Not one single person.
Time has been savage in its relentless eating up of the years. Have I made the most of it? I have had an endless struggle not to be a coward about things. I know what I feel, but hate being looked at, hate doing anything in public, hate making speeches ...
By different methods different men excel;
But where is he who can do all things well?
But where is he who can do all things well?
An Epistle to William Hogarth (1763)
I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy.
The Internet is not just one thing, it's a collection of things - of numerous communications networks that all speak the same digital language.
U.S. News & World Report, 1996
Take thy self-denials gaily and cheerfully, and let the sunshine of thy gladness fall on dark things and bright alike, like the sunshine of the Almighty.
Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)
Gods are fragile things they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense.
The Devil (pamphlet), reprinted in Gordon Stein, ed (1980). An Anthology of Atheism and Rationalism. Prometheus Books. ISBN 0879751363.
Only in men's imagination does every truth find an effective and undeniable existence. Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master of art as of life. An imaginative and exact rendering of authentic memories may serve worthily that spirit of piety towards all things human which sanctions the conceptions of a writer of tales, and the emotions of the man reviewing his own experience.
Some Reminiscences (1912)
It is a mark of prudence never to trust wholly in those things which have once deceived us.
I have begun several times many things, and I have often succeeded at last.
To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves; let us be above such transparent egotism. If you can't say good and encouraging things, say nothing. Nothing is often a good thing to do, and always a clever thing to say.
I can understand why the young musicians of the next generation wanted more rigor, but things went too far. I don't support aesthetic terrorism.
Interview with The New York Times in 1986.
The only things the astronauts saw from outer space were Three Mile Island and your forehead.
Joke about Gene Siskel's receding hairline.
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
I hate crowds and making speeches. I hate facing cameras and having to answer to a crossfire of questions. Why popular fancy should seize upon me, a scientist, dealing in abstract things and happy if left alone, is a manifestation of mass psychology that is beyond me.
We know nothing at all. All our knowledge is but the knowledge of schoolchildren. The real nature of things we shall never know.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.
Character in many ways is everything in leadership. It is made up of many things, but I would say character is really integrity.
Love is indescribable and unconditional. I could tell you a thousand things that it is not, but not one that it is.
Conservatism stands on man's confessed limitations; reform on his indisputable infinitude; conservatism on circumstance; liberalism on power; one goes to make an adroit member of the social frame; the other to postpone all things to the man himself.
The only value of ideology is to stop things becoming showbiz.
On June 2, 1995, A Year With Swollen Appendices (1996)
Try to make things that can become better in other people's minds than they were in yours.
On August 2, 1995, A Year With Swollen Appendices (1996)

It is not he who reviles or strikes you who insults you, but your opinion that these things are insulting.
My grandfather, who was from Galicia, Spain, grew up tending a vineyard and growing potatoes and raising chickens and all of these things that are coming naturally to me now. I was drawn to it in an unconscious way.
Article in New York Times, January 22, 2011 by Amy Wallace, "Growing Grapes as Part of a Real-Life Script".
I remember going to the set that day and being intrigued by the whole thing. I liked it. And everybody was extremely nice to me. If the people were rude and didn't treat me right, things could have gone the other way.
Talking about starting in the movies back in 1981 during interview with The Associated Press, 2004.
Some people approach acting with all these things in their head, making it more complicated than it needs to be, way too cerebral. I don't want to know that an actor lived in a cave for 12 days so that he could prepare for a part.
Atheism is more than just the knowledge that gods do not exist, and that religion is either a mistake or a fraud. Atheism is an attitude, a frame of mind that looks at the world objectively, fearlessly, always trying to understand all things as a part of nature.
Atheism: An Affirmative View (1980)
You can do one of two things; just shut up, which is something I don't find easy, or learn an awful lot very fast, which is what I tried to do.
If there is any great secret of success in life, it lies in the ability to put yourself in the other person's place and to see things from his point of view-as well as your own.
God is not a cosmic bell-boy for whom we can press a button to get things done.
As I See Religion (1932)
If you pray enough for things, I am proof that they can happen. I feel like a kid on Christmas day now, every day. It's something I have wanted for a long time and I am as happy as anyone to be here. It is great to be back at my first love.
On his return to Liverpool.
Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
The Autobiography (1817)
A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two different things.
Energy and persistence alter all things.
I say thank God for government waste. If government is doing bad things, it's only the waste that prevents the harm from being greater.
Interview with Richard Heffner on The Open Mind (December 7, 1975)
The way you solve things is by making it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing.
The problem with most failing businesses I've encountered is not that their owners don't know enough about finance, marketing, management, and operations—they don't, but those things are easy enough to learn—but that they spend their time and energy defending what they think they know.
The E-Myth Revisited
As you cherish the things most worthwhile in your family life, cherish the things most worthwhile in your company.
Three things - autonomy, complexity, and a connection between effort and reward - are, most people agree, the three qualities that work has to have if it is to be satisfying.
Outliers: The Story of Success
We have all these new channels and tools to understand the world as it happens, but there's no reliable algorithm for sorting through the morass. It used to be to read the morning paper on the way to work and read the evening paper on the way home. Now we have to invent a new personal methodology every day. And if we're waiting for things to settle down and become simple, that's never going to happen.
Discussing the new and old media in an interview with Maureen Dowd in New York Times article published on April 24, 2013.
Things that matter most must never be put at the mercy of those that matter the least.
I didn't say this is going to make me famous or this is going to come out the way it did. It just happened that the public happened to appreciate the satirical quality of these crazy things.
Oral history interview with Rube Goldberg by Emily Nathan, for Radio Smithsonian, 1970.
Yeah. I didn't write because in the corps I took mining engineering of all things and, you know, they, they graduate a mining engineer as a sort of an illiterate. They didn't have any cultural courses at all at that time; they do now.
Oral history interview with Rube Goldberg by Emily Nathan, for Radio Smithsonian, 1970.
There's no thrill in easy sailing when the skies are clear and blue, there's no joy in merely doing things which any one can do. But there is some satisfaction that is mighty sweet to take, when you reach a destination that you thought you'd never make.
Pluck. First mention of this poem found is in 1919, however some attribute this verse to Spirella.
I have seen things few of my countrymen have. The first time I went on an aeroplane I couldn't work out how the lavatories worked up in the sky.
There can be no profit in the making or selling of things to be destroyed in war. Men may think that they have such profit, but in the end the profit will turn out to be a loss.
There's a strange quality in stop-motion photography, like in 'King Kong,' that adds to the fantasy, If you make things too real, sometimes you bring it down to the mundane.
Interview in 2006
The most sensible people to be met with in society are men of business and of the world, who argue from what they see and know, instead of spinning cobweb distinctions of what things ought to be.
Table-Talk: Essays On Men And Manners
Fear of things invisible in the natural seed of that which everyone in himself calleth religion.
It is entirely seemly for a young man killed in battle to lie mangled by the bronze spear. In his death all things appear fair. But when dogs shame the gray head and gray chin and nakedness of an old man killed, it is the most piteous thing that happens among wretched mortals.
Most human beings have an absolute and infinite capacity for taking things for granted
There is nothing of permanent value (putting aside a few human affections), nothing that satisfies quiet reflection, except the sense of having worked according to one's capacity and light to make things clear and get rid of cant and shams of all sorts.
To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those things that lie beyond.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
Commencement address delivered by Steve Jobs at Stanford University on June 12, 2005
Few things are impossible to diligence and skill.
The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia (1759)
Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me.
We can only get smart things from stupid things.
Out of Control: The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems and the Economic World (1995)
Following the free also works in the other direction. If one way to increase product value is to make products free, then many things now free may contain potential value not yet perceived.
New Rules for the New Economy: 10 Radical Strategies for a Connected World (1999)
If goods and services become more valuable as they become more plentiful, and if they become cheaper as they become valuable, then the natural extension of this logic says that the most valuable things of all should be those that are ubiquitous and free.
New Rules for the New Economy: 10 Radical Strategies for a Connected World (1999)
When we got into office, the thing that surprised me most was to find that things were just as bad as we'd been saying they were.
May 27, 1961
One of the most difficult things to contend with in a hospital is that assumption on the part of the staff that because you have lost your gall bladder you have also lost your mind.
The great scientists, as all great men, have not been concerned with fame. The joy of achievement that comes from finding something new in the universe is by far their greatest joy. A great research scientist is constantly discovering new things in his field. This is his reward. He knows how to spend long years in preparation and long hours in investigation, with no thought of public honor or reward.
All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small.
The things that make me angry still make me angry. George Carlin is 67, and he's still as funny as he's ever been, and he's still angry. And that makes me feel good, because I feel like if I stick around long enough, I'll still be able to work.
Don't go into great detail describing places and things. Unless you're Margaret Atwood and can paint scenes with language or write landscapes in the style of Jim Harrison. But even if you're good at it, you don't want descriptions that bring the action, the flow of the story, to a standstill.
From Leonard's 10 Rules of Writing, as appeared in The New York Times (July 16, 2001)
Babies are necessary to grownups. A new baby is like the beginning of all things--wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.
I once said that the most difficult things to design are the simplest. For instance, to improve the form of a scalpel or a needle is extremely difficult, if not impossible. To improve the appearance of a threshing machine is easy. There are so many components on which one can work.
Let us then be what we are, and speak what we think, and in all things keep ourselves loyal to truth.
The history of the human race is full of the most horrible tragedies caused by carelessness and the inexcusable blunders of those who never formed the habit of accuracy, of thoroughness, of doing things to a finish.
Pushing to the Front or, Success Under Difficulties (1894)
Wanted, a man who is broad, who does not take half views of things; a man who mixes common sense with his theories, who does not let a college education spoil him for practical, every-day life; a man who prefers substance to show, and one who regards his good name as a priceless treasure.
Pushing to the Front or, Success Under Difficulties (1894)
All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.
How to Succeed or, Stepping-Stones to Fame and Fortune (1896)
All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible.
How to Succeed or, Stepping-Stones to Fame and Fortune (1896)
A strong, successful man is not the victim of his environment. He creates favorable conditions. His own inherent force and energy compel things to turn out as he desires.
How to Succeed or, Stepping-Stones to Fame and Fortune (1896)
All wealth consists of desirable things; that is, things which satisfy human wants directly or indirectly: but not all desirable things are reckoned as wealth.
In the absence of any short term in common use to represent all desirable things, or things that satisfy human wants, we may use the term Goods for that purpose.
It is common to distinguish necessaries, comforts, and luxuries; the first class including all things required to meet wants which must be satisfied, while the latter consist of things that meet wants of a less urgent character.
Material goods consist of useful material things, and of all rights to hold, or use, or derive benefits from material things, or to receive them at a future time.
I remember when I sat there in the Evil Emperor's swivel chair and George [Lucas] said things like 'does it remind you of the Oval office?'
Interview with The Guardian, published November 7, 2005
One of the most dangerous things that can happen to a child is when the child who kills or tortures an animal is not caught, or if caught is not punished.
Evil things come from a special kind of demented world that only Eurocentric males are capable of imagining. Male dominated religions are capable of addressing evil because that's what they want to do, so they do it.
Interview with Linda Brookover, March 11, 1996.
Indians don't have a devil, like Islam, or evil in our lives, we don't believe in evil. We believe in life and all things in life; but life can be tricky, so we have a trickster.
Interview with Linda Brookover, March 11, 1996.
Despite the way things turned out [with the AIDS crisis], I'm still proud of those days. I feel like I was at the forefront of the gay liberation movement, and I hope I did my part to help it move forward. So, I kind of wear the label of 'Bathhouse Betty' with pride.
In Houston Voice, October 23, 1998.
Often the difference between a successful marriage and a mediocre one consists of leaving about three or four things a day unsaid.
More than anything the French have a profound knowledge of the ways of life. They possess a tolerance and an acceptance of the way things are. Problems are faced with intelligence, patience, and a sense of humanity. I have more respect for them than any other nationality on the face of the earth.
Reflections (1981)
I started writing cheating songs when I was too young to have any idea what I was writing about -- broken hearts and things like that. I just think it was something I already knew, something I had experienced in another lifetime.
The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous toy.
Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidedly as they are not.
The Antichrist
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Neutrality where the Communists are concerned means three things: we get out; they stay in; they take over.
Most people aren't appreciated enough, and the bravest things we do in our lives are usually known only to ourselves. No one throws ticker tape on the man who chose to be faithful to his wife, on the lawyer who didn't take the drug money.
The supreme end of education is expert discernment in all things — the power to tell the good from the bad, the genuine from the counterfeit, and to prefer the good and the genuine to the bad and the counterfeit.
All you have to do is play better than the other guy and things go well. If you don't play better than the other players then somebody takes your place. Now a lot of guys, in this day and time with the transient nature of the sport, as soon as the competition gets too good, they want out.
In opera, as with any performing art, to be in great demand and to command high fees you must be good of course, but you must also be famous. The two are different things.
Pavarotti : My World (1995)
There are two things a person should never be angry at, what they can help, and what they cannot.
The soul, being eternal, after death is like a caged bird that has been released. If it has been a long time in the body, and has become tame by many affairs and long habit, the soul will immediately take another body and once again become involved in the troubles of the world. The worst thing about old age is that the soul's memory of the other world grows dim, while at the same time its attachment to things of this world becomes so strong that the soul tends to retain the form that it had in the body. But that soul which remains only a short time within a body, until liberated by the higher powers, quickly recovers its fire and goes on to higher things.
The Consolation, Moralia
Perseverance is more prevailing than violence; and many things which cannot be overcome when they are together, yield themselves up when taken little by little.
Parallel Lives
They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. In their grey visions they obtain glimpses of eternity.
Evil and the Devil are two different things. The Devil is how humans like to imagine evil, with horns and a tail. Evil is part of our personality. I've never believed in occultism or the Devil, and I'm not at all religious. I'd rather read science books than something about occultism. When it comes to cinema, evil is simply a form of entertainment to me.
We focus on the best, fun and happy things, and people want that. Being happy never goes out of style.
Verbosity leads to unclear, inarticulate things.
Spoken in November 1988.
Many things which cannot be overcome when they stand together yield themselves up when taken little by little.
I believe history has a habit of repeating itself, that's for sure, but one of things I'm critical of my country on is that we don't seem to take note of the lessons that history teaches us. My country is pretty prone to everything wanting to be black and white, or red, white and blue. And in my experience of life, nothing was ever that simple. No one was dealing with the grey areas. So I decided to become a filmmaker so I could deal with that.
I was Pee-wee Herman for so many years that it wasn't really a question that I didn't want to do other things.
I tried to be responsible in teaching kids things I thought were good lessons, all in the context of,'it's O.K. to be wild and have a good time.'
The public may think I'm weird. They may think I'm crazy or anything that anyone wants to think about me. That's all fine. As long as one of the things you're not thinking about me is that I'm a pedophile. Because that's not true.
A clever man ought to so regulate his interests that each will fall in due order. Our greediness so often troubles us, making us run after so many things at the same time, that while we too eagerly look after the least, we miss the greatest.
Few things are needed to make a wise man happy; nothing can make a fool content; that is why most men are miserable.
Happiness is in taste and not in things; and it is by having what we love that we are happy, not by having what others find agreeable.
To men who have deserved high praise, nothing should be more humbling than the lengths to which they will still go to get credit for petty things.
We should wish for few things with eagerness, if we perfectly knew the nature of that which was the object of our desire.
Few things are impracticable in themselves; and it is for want of application, rather than of means, that men fail of success.
The only thing that should surprise us is that there are still some things that can surprise us.
Star Trek speaks to some basic human needs: that there is a tomorrow — it's not all going to be over with a big flash and a bomb; that the human race is improving; that we have things to be proud of as humans. No, ancient astronauts did not build the pyramids — human beings built them, because they're clever and they work hard. And Star Trek is about those things.
Interview on September 20, 1988
There are two things wrong with almost all legal writing. One is its style. The other is its content.
"Goodbye to Law Reviews," 23 Virginia Law Review 38-45 (November 1936).
When you put down the good things you ought to have done and leave out the bad things you did do -- that's Memoirs.
Things in our country run in spite of government, not by aid of it.
The time men spend in trying to impress others they could spend in doing the things by which others would be impressed.
Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done.
Making duplicate copies and computer printouts of things no one wanted even one of in the first place is giving America a new sense of purpose.
As I see it, the task of Government in its relation to business is to assist the development of an economic declaration of rights, an economic constitutional order. This is the common task of statesman and business man. It is the minimum requirement of a more permanently safe order of things.
Commonwealth Club Address, San Francisco, CA on September 23, 1932
Every man has a right to his own property; which means a right to be assured, to the fullest extent attainable, in the safety of his savings. By no other means can men carry the burdens of those parts of life which, in the nature of things, afford no chance of labor; childhood, sickness, old age. In all thought of property, this right is paramount; all other property rights must yield to it. If, in accord with this principle, we must restrict the operations of the speculator, the manipulator, even the financier, I believe we must accept the restriction as needful, not to hamper individualism but to protect it.
Commonwealth Club Address, San Francisco, CA on September 23, 1932
There are two things that I want you to make up your minds to: first, that you are going to have a good time as long as you live - I have no use for the sour-faced man - and next, that you are going to do something worthwhile, that you are going to work hard and do the things you set out to do.
Talk to schoolchildren in Oyster Bay, Christmastime 1898
For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly makes all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.
An Autobiography, 1913
There were all kinds of things I was afraid of at first, ranging from grizzly bears to 'mean' horses and gun-fighters; but by acting as if I was not afraid I gradually ceased to be afraid.
An Autobiography, 1913
Thrice happy is the nation that has a glorious history. Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
"The Strenuous Life"
It is not by prayer and humility that you cause things to go as you wish, but by acquiring a knowledge of natural laws.
The Impact of Science on Society (1952)
I must before I die, find some way to say the essential thing that is in me, that I have never said yet -- a thing that is not love or hate or pity or scorn, but the very breath of life, fierce and coming from far away, bringing into human life the vastness and fearful passionless force of non-human things...
My Philosophical Development (1959)
Not to be absolutely certain is, I think, one of the essential things in rationality.
Am I An Atheist Or An Agnostic? (1947)
History haunts even generations who refuse to learn history. Rhythms, patterns, continuities, drift out of time long forgotten to mold the present and to color the shape of things to come. Science and technology revolutionize our lives, but memory, tradition and myth frame our response. Expelled from individual consciousness by the rush of change, history finds its revenge by stamping the collective unconscious with habits, values, expectations, dreams.
The New York Times Magazine, July 27, 1986
Any soldier worth his salt should be antiwar. And still there are things worth fighting for.
Quoted in U.S. News & World Report (1991)
I think probably the most fun thing a lawyer can do is say, "Objection". "Objection! Objection, Your Honor!" Objection, of course, is the adult version of " 'fraid not!" To which the judge can say two things. He can say, "Overruled", which is the adult version of " 'fraid so". Or he can say "Sustained", which is the adult version of "Duh."
That was all of tangible things; but in memories we were rich. We had pierced the veneer of outside things. We had "suffered, starved and triumphed, groveled down yet grasped at glory, grown bigger in the bigness of the whole. We had seen God in His splendors, heard the text that Nature renders." We had reached the naked soul of man.
South (1919)
Things without all remedy
Should be without regard: what's done is done.
Should be without regard: what's done is done.
Macbeth (c.1605), Lady Macbeth
I don't see myself being special; I just see myself having more responsibilities than the next man. People look to me to do things for them, to have answers.
My raps are a decision, rabble rousing, spiritual, like gospel music. I don't want to dance. We have so many things to deal with, we need to talk straight up and down.
It is interesting that when you really write material from inside yourself … just how many people can relate to that. I've also always written stuff that's fun to say. There are a lot of comedians who love music and rhythm. I write things in a musical way in my head.
Interview in Huffington Post (May 2013)
You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, 'Why not?'
In all things there must be order, but it must of such a kind as is possible to observe...to see a man burnt for doing as he thought right, harms the people, for this is a matter of conscience.
To be ignorant of ourselves, to seem to know those things whereof we are ignorant, is next to madness.
Love is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day.
God is the indwelling and not the transient cause of all things.
Only in relation to our imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly, well-ordered or confused.
The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.
There are worse things than losing an election; the worst thing is to lose one's convictions and not tell the people the truth.
Responding to an assertion that his support for a ban on nuclear testing would probably cost him votes.
Perpetual devotion to what a man calls his business, is only to be sustained by perpetual neglect of many other things.
Virginibus Puerisque and Other Papers (1881)
I was aloof on opening night because I was in a state of shock. You could feel the hostility of that opening night audience, all the gamblers who were there because they're important to the hotel, all the actors who resent the fact that you're doing things they think they should be doing.
About facing a cabaret audience.
The philosophy which affects to teach us a contempt of money does not run very deep; for, indeed, it ought to be still more clear to the philosopher than it is to ordinary men, that there are few things in the world of greater importance.
Notes from Life (1853)
My policies are based not on some economics theory, but on things I and millions like me were brought up with: an honest day's work for an honest day's pay; live within your means; put by a nest egg for a rainy day; pay your bills on time; support the police.
The News of the World (September 20, 1981)
Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand.
I fell in love, that is the only expression I can think of, at once, and am still at the mercy of words, though sometimes now, knowing a little of their behaviour very well, I think I can influence them slightly and have even learned to beat them now and then, which they appear to enjoy. I tumbled for words at once. And, when I began to read the nursery rhymes for myself, and, later, to read other verses and ballads, I knew that I had discovered the most important things, to me, that could be ever.
The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from Science, along with behaviour control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers.
I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings. In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
There is no philosopher in the world so great but he believes a million things on the faith of other people and accepts a great many more truths than he demonstrates.
I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other.
You perceive, now, that these things are all impossible except in a dream. You perceive that they are pure and puerile insanities, the silly creations of an imagination that is not conscious of its freaks -- in a word, that they are a dream, and you the maker of it. The dream-marks are all present; you should have recognized them earlier.
The Mysterious Stranger (1916)
I simply can't resist a cat, particularly a purring one. They are the cleanest, cunningest, and most intelligent things I know, outside of the girl you love, of course.
Quoted in Abroad with Mark Twain and Eugene Field, Fisher
Half the things you've been taught in school are just convenient fictions. History is a puppet show for childish minds.
The Traveler
Men are often capable of greater things than they perform. They are sent into the world with bills of credit, and seldom draw to their full extent.
There's a lot of things great about life. But I think tomorrow is the most important thing. Comes in to us at midnight very clean, ya know. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.
Interview with Playboy, May 1971
Well, there's some things a man just can't run away from.
Henry, the Ringo Kid character played by John Wayne in the movie Stagecoach (1939)
Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache.
No artist desires to prove anything. Even things that are true can be proved.
The Preface To 'The Picture Of Dorian Gray', 1891
The artist is the creator of beautiful things.
The Preface To 'The Picture Of Dorian Gray', 1891
The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things.
The Preface To 'The Picture Of Dorian Gray', 1891
They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty.
The Preface To 'The Picture Of Dorian Gray', 1891
Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope.
The Preface To 'The Picture Of Dorian Gray', 1891
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.
The Preface To 'The Picture Of Dorian Gray', 1891
No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.
The Decay of Lying (1889)
It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadays saying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely and entirely true.
If there's one theme in all my work it's about authenticity and self-expression. It's the idea that some things are in some real sense really you, or express what you and others aren't.
Interview with Stuart Jeffries, The Guardian (November 29, 2002)
Unless you choose to do great things with it, it makes no difference how much you are rewarded or how much you have.
Happiness is to have a little string onto which things will attach themselves.
A Moment's Liberty (1990)
Racin', it don't scare you. At Indy I got on fire, and it damn sure hurts, but it don't scare you or you wouldn't of got there. What it is, if we know one of us is gonna be dead when we come out this room, you try to fix things on the outside first, before you come in.
Appeared in a story by Pete Dexter in Inside Sports (May 31, 1980)
When male and female combine, all things achieve harmony.
Tao Te Ching
Doing things changes things. Not doing things leaves things exactly as they were.
House, One Day, One Room. By Dr. Gregory House.
People can do good things but their instincts are not good.
House, One Day, One Room. By Dr. Gregory House.
I started to connect with one guy but then my propensity for screwing things up overtook me. And then my desire to have fun overcame my propensity.
House, Broken. By Dr. Gregory House.
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Bible, Paul, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Bible, I Corinthians 13:7
A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry; but money answereth all things.
Bible, Ecclesiastes 10:19
Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; hate less, love more; and all good things are yours.

UK SMB's Could Lose Their Business To A possible Cyber AttackFebruary 13, 2019 |Cyber Security
A Study suggested that small and medium-sized businesses can lose their business to a potentially major cyber attack.
A survey conducted by 501 IT decision-makers claimed that almost 48 percent of small and medium-sized businesses could face or have faced a cyber threat once in their lifetime which could halt their business and possibly they can lose their partners as they may lose their suppliers. Half of them which is 22% already claim that they are no more partners because poor cybersecurity has resulted in a bad relationship between them.
"SMBs can no longer consider themselves as a small target. They need to use their nimble size to their advantage by quickly identifying risks and educating everyone in the business of how to mitigate those risks because people will always be the first line of defense," said Paul Barnes, Senior Director, Webroot.
Two-third of respondents which is 64% make their life easy. They can adapt to changes more speedily as compared to large enterprises.
You can't ignore the changes and advancements in cybersecurity. Because they provide updated security from cyber attack and advantages to boost productivity and make you gain new customers.

I know it's been suggested a couple times, but I thought I'd throw my vote in for this one as well.
I've got a multimonitor layout that shows an array of photos, some of which I'd like to cull as I notice them.
But since there's no way to tell what their names are, it's not possible right now.
It's a pretty minor thing, and I really like WC, I'm just throwing another vote on the fire<g>

It's officially Rugby World Cup final week - what a time to be alive.
England bossed and bashed the All Blacks 19-7 in one of their most dominant performances ever. Here's how they did it:
England had to be at its very defensive best on Saturday. Even though they lost, the Kiwis still made more metres (639 to 406) than England and had more runs (154 to 147).
The All Blacks also beat more defenders, had more clean breaks and made seven more offloads. But, crucially, England was dominant at the breakdown and with mauls, and worked itself harder than ever.
It pilfered 15 turnovers to just four for New Zealand. England actually missed more tackles than the All Blacks, but made up for it with how it intimidated and closed down the Kiwi attack. Their line speed was impressive and they choked the life out of the world champions.
Sam Underhill topped the stats with 16 tackles, while Mario Itoje and Owen Farrell made 15, and even George Ford chipping with 13. England's intent and physicality was enormous.
Their discipline was also exceptional, giving away just six penalties compared with 11 from the All Blacks. All in all it was a heroic defensive performance several years in the making.
England had a lot more variety and creativity with Ford at 10 and Farrell at inside centre. That pairing is England's most damaging and showed the All Blacks that the Red Rose would not just kick all day but run the ball and ask them questions with their carries.
Ford and Farrell worked perfectly together and England used its pick and go expertly. Offloads kept the New Zealand defence alert and Ben Youngs at 9 kept targeting the fringes of the ruck. Only the video referee stopped Youngs from scoring a vital try and the scrum-half had a whale of a game.
(Credit: @JoeMarler and Dan Cole)
It was controversial but effective, as England targeted the haka with a V-shape formation instead of the usual flat approach of standing arm in arm. They even went so close the officials tried to shuffle them back. It was aggressive and unconventional, but seemed to confuse the All Blacks as they got off to a slow start. France did the same against them in the 2011 World Cup final and it worked too.
It showed that England would not let New Zealand have it all their own way. "New Zealand are the gods of rugby so we had to take it to them and put them on the back foot as much as we could," England coach Eddie Jones said after the game. It certainly did that.
Having two quality kickers in the starting XV in Ford and Farrell gave England so many options. Their kicking was on target and they made 37 kicks compared to New Zealand's 28. They made a lot more metres with their kicks – 873 compared with 624 – and didn't have any charged down, while the All Blacks had two blocked.
This meant England dominated the territory game and made it difficult for the Kiwis to gain field position. Attacking from deep constantly can be wearing, and it certainly was for the 2015 World Cup holders on Saturday.
Set Piece
England's set-piece has always been a strength and it was on fire in the semi-final. They did not lose a scrum when it had the feed, and their lineout had a 90% success rate with 18 out of 20 throws going to their target. They also managed two lineout steals as well.
There was one mistake, with Jamie George's throw finding Ardie Savea for his try. But England recovered and it was too little too late for the All Blacks.

Syrian tanks shell towns across the countryComments
In yet another bloody day in Syria's seven week uprising at least 19 people are said to have been killed across the country as tanks shelled residential districts in several towns.
Some of the violence occurred in the southern Deraa province – four civilians were killed in the town of Tafas as security forces widened a campaign of arrests.
One man is reported to have been shot in the head by snipers as he stood in front of his house.
More than 300 people have been detained since the tanks arrived in the area on Saturday.
Much of President Bashar al Assad's military is being stretched across Syria from Aleppo to Damascus. Rights groups say at least 650 people have been killed in the crackdown.
But with the army strongly aligned with the Alawite ruling elite, a breakthrough by the pro-democracy protesters seems unlikely.

Action to be taken against JUI-F leaders for 'abusive' language
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday chaired a meeting of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf's (PTI) core committee and decided to take a "stern" action against leaders of the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) for using "abusive" language against the rulers.
The meeting also reviewed the issue of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's deteriorating health and his much-needed departure for medical treatment abroad. It decided that the government would accept whatever decision the Lahore High Court (LHC) would take on an application filed on behalf of Mr Sharif seeking lifting of the conditions on his exit from the country.
The meeting discussed issues relating to behaviour of the media and decided to form a committee to review the performance of the government's media team.
The expected reshuffle in the federal cabinet also came under discussion and it was informed that some slight changes would take place soon in the highest forum of the executive without new inclusions.
PTI's core committee says govt will have no issue if LHC asks for removal of conditions on Nawaz's travel
A participant of the meeting told Dawn on condition of anonymity that the ruling party was angry over the speeches delivered by the JUI-F leaders during their sit-in in the federal capital.
"The meeting decided that we should not take such speeches in a routine manner. They [JUI-F leaders] will definitely face the same music which some other politicians and troublemakers had faced," he added.
An official press release said that the core committee had condemned the "unacceptable" language used by the JUI-F chief during dharna. "The major casualty of this was the Kashmir cause which played into India's hand," it added.
It said the committee had decided to examine violation of laws during the speeches made by the opposition leaders during dharna. "The committee was of the opinion that the main opposition leaders showed their opportunism by becoming a party to the dharna, simply to seek a way out of their corruption dilemma," it said.
The source said the meeting also discussed the issue of Mr Sharif's health and decided that the government would accept whatever decision to be taken by the LHC.
"If the court asks us to drop conditions set by the government for the departure of Mr Sharif, we will do so, but in that case the responsibility of allowing a convict to leave the country will not lie on the government," the source said.
The source revealed that some changes were expecting in the federal cabinet soon and former finance minister Asad Umar was likely to become minister for planning and development. The source said the Chinese authorities, engaged under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, had expressed concern over the working of the ministers for communications, railways and planning. "Chinese are even not ready to talk to these ministers because of their inability to make progress on timelines," the source added.
The core committee decided to form a committee to evaluate the performance of the official media. The committee will comprise PTI stalwart Jahangir Tareen, Asad Umar and Fawad Chaudhry.

Really great work from The Viscaynes – a unique mixed-race band from the northern end of the Bay Area scene at the start of the 60s – and one that provided an early launching pad for the talents of the legendary Sly Stewart! The group sound different than Sly's Family Stone, but have a similar role in soul music during their own period – male and female voices coming together with a great love of doo wop and early group soul modes, often working with arrangements by the young Stewart, who also adds in plenty of guitar to the mix as well. The tunes have much more of an east coast feel than you'd guess – very much in the best Philly street corner vibe – and titles include "You've Forgotten Me", "Help Me With My Broken Heart", "Yellow Moon", "You're My Only Love", "A Long Time Alone", "Heavenly Angel", and "Uncle Sam Needs You". Also features related tracks – "Without Success" by The Individuals, and "Eight Reasons Why" and "Mama Told Me" by The Precisions. © 1996-2020, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
Dusty Groove does not use the grades of Near Mint (or Mint, for that matter) because in our experience, we find that no records ever qualify for such a high grade. Even sealed records tend to have one or two slight faults, enough to usually qualify them for a grade of NM- or lower. We've often found that records which are clearly unplayed will have a slight amount of surface noise, especially in quieter recordings.
This is a grade we rarely use, as we try not to sell records in very bad condition, though in some rare cases we will list a record in such bad shape that it does not conform to the standards above. A "Fair" record will have enough marks or significant flaws that it does not even qualify as "Good", but is a copy you might consider for playing, if you're willing to put up with noise and/or flaws. An example might be a recording with surface noise so heavy that it is equal to the volume of the music. For records listed as "Fair", we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
Like "Fair", we rarely list records in this condition, as they represent the extreme low end of spectrum. These records typically have multiple serious problems, and we offer them as "relics" or "objects" only — for those who want to at least have a copy of a record, even if it is not really worthy of play, perhaps for the cover alone. For these records, we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible.
When you purchase a Used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use but if there are significant details or defects we will list them underneath the item — just like we do with LPs — so look there for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details.
All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
