~ Anger makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor. ~ ~ Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one. ~ ~ Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame. ~ ~ The most dangerous untruths are truths moderately distorted. ~ ~ Boldness is ever blind, for it sees not dangers and inconveniences whence it is bad in council though good in execution ~ ~ Fantastic tyrant of the amorous heart. How hard thy yoke, how cruel thy dart. Those escape your anger who refuse your sway, and those are punished most, who most obey. ~ ~ It is more dangerous that even a guilty person should be punished without the forms of law than that he should escape. ~ ~ Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. ~ ~ It’s no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense. ~ ~ The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. ~ ~ A man sufficiently gifted with humor is in small danger of succumbing to flattering delusions about himself, because he cannot help perceiving what a pompous ass he would become if he did. ~ ~ The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence. ~ ~ f there were only one religion in England there would be danger of despotism, if there were two, they would cut each other's throats, but there are thirty, and they live in peace and happiness. ~ ~ If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. ~ ~ Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangerous fruits on the tree of humanity. They hang upon the most slender twigs that are easily snapped off. ~ ~ What is objectionable, what is dangerous, about extremists is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents. ~ ~ Fidelity to conscience is inconsistent with retiring modesty. If it be so, let the modesty succumb. It can be only a false modesty which can be thus endangered. ~ ~ No protracted war can fail to endanger the freedom of a democratic country. ~ ~ I am bound to add that the excess in too little has ever proved in me more dangerous than the excess in too much; the last may cause indigestion, but the first causes death. ~ ~ The passions are like fire, useful in a thousand ways and dangerous only in one, through their excess. ~ ~ Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people. ~ ~ Experts say you should never hit your children in anger. When is a good time? When you\'re feeling festive? ~ ~ Mediocrity is now, as formerly, dangerous, commonly fatal, to the poet; but among even the successful writers of prose, those who rise sensibly above it are the very rarest exceptions. ~ ~ In the republic of mediocrity, genius is dangerous. ~ ~ There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty. ~ ~ Man should forget his anger before he lies down to sleep. ~ ~ Never forget that life can only be nobly inspired and rightly lived if you take it bravely and gallantly, as a splendid adventure in which you are setting out into an unknown country, to face many a danger, to meet many a joy, to find many a comrade, to win and lose many a battle. ~ ~ He would see civilization in danger of perishing under the oppression of a gigantic paradox: he would see multitudes of people starving in the midst of plenty, and nations preparing for war although pledged to peace. ~ ~ The most effective moments in the theatre are those that appeal to basic and commonplace emotions--love of woman, love of home, love of country, love of right, anger, jealousy, revenge, ambition, lust, and treachery. ~ ~ The most effective moments in the theatre are those that appeal to basic and commonplace emotions--love of woman, love of home, love of country, love of right, anger, jealousy, revenge, ambition, lust, and treachery. ~ |
