Famous Quotes & Sayings

Susan B. Anthony

Marriage, to women as to men, must be a luxury, not a necessity; an incident of life, not all of it. And the only possible way to accomplish this great change is to accord to women equal power in the making, shaping and controlling of the circumstances of life.

Tracy McMillan

Yes, I have 'failed' at marriage - a lot.

Brigham Young

Any young man who is unmarried at the age of twenty one is a menace to the community.

Dennis Rodman

I think marriage and athletes is a bad combination.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

It is in vain to look for the elevation of woman so long as she is degraded in marriage.

Dionne Warwick

There was a time in the marriage when I could no longer look at myself in a mirror, couldn't feel I was a nice person. A bad relationship can do that, can make you doubt everything good you ever felt about yourself.

Drew Barrymore

Both of my marriages have taught me the same lesson twice over really harsh: listen to your instincts. Don't be a people pleaser.

Don Herold

A woman's hair net tangled in a man's spectacles on top of the bedroom dresser.

Andre Maurois

Marriage is not something that can be accomplished all at once; it has to be constantly reaccomplished. A couple must never indulge in idle tranquility with the remark: "The game is won; let's relax." The game is never won. The chances of life are such that anything is possible. Remember what the dangers are for both sexes in middle age. A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day.

Tony Russa

That's just the way he pitches. I think it has more to do with him mentally concentrating really well. He hasn't let anything get away from him.

Antisthenes

As rust corrupts iron, so envy corrupts man.

Baruch Spinoza

Men would never be superstitious, if they could govern all their circumstances by set rules, or if they were always favoured by fortune: but being frequently driven into straits where rules are useless, and being often kept fluctuating pitiably between hope and fear by the uncertainty of fortune's greedily coveted favours, they are consequently for the most part, very prone to credulity.

Baruch Spinoza

Surely human affairs would be far happier if the power in men to be silent were the same as that to speak. But experience more than sufficiently teaches that men govern nothing with more difficulty than their tongues, and can moderate their desires more easily than their words.

Augustus Hare

The greatest truths are the simplest, and so are the greatest men.

Ayn Rand

Great men can't be ruled.

Ayn Rand

If a dedication page were to precede the total of my work, it would read: To the glory of Man.

Ayn Rand

If I were to speak your kind of language, I would say that man's only moral commandment is: Thou shalt think. But a 'moral commandment' is a contradiction in terms. The moral is the chosen, not the forced; the understood, not the obeyed. The moral is the rational, and reason accepts no commandments.

Ayn Rand

Men have been taught that it is a virtue to stand together. But the creator is the man who stands alone.

Brian Tracy

We cannot get what we've never had, unless we're willing to do what we've never done.

Boz Scaggs

A lot of what I have always done is do other singers.

Dave Mustaine

I could do Rust In Peace again, but I don't want to. I could have followed that formula but, God, why? I would have to have done so much heroin and cocaine - and I wasn't going to. Not if I'm paying for it!

Dale Carnegie

The thing is to get the work done.

Anthony Kiedis

My work was done, so it was time to start digging my grave again.

Swami Vivekananda

Do not look back upon what has been done. Go Ahead.

Thomas Carlyle

He that has done nothing has known nothing.

Michelle Shocked

Make your own music. It can be done.

John Muir

Nothing can be done well at a speed of forty miles a day. The multitude of mixed, novel impressions rapidly piled on one another make only a dreamy, bewildering, swirling blur, most of which is unrememberable.
