~ It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust. ~ ~ We are all selfish and I no more trust myself than others with a good motive. ~ ~ He who wants to persuade should put his trust not in the right argument, but in the right word. The power of sound has always been greater than the power of sense ~ ~ He'd undertake to prove, by force Of argument, a man's no horse. He'd prove a buzzard is no fowl, And that a Lord may be an owl, A calf an Alderman, a goose a Justice, And rooks, Committee-men or Trustees. ~ ~ A secret of abundance is to stop focussing on what you do not have and shift your consciousness to an appreciation for all that you do have No limit people are so in charge that theycan trust their instincts, be childlike, be creative and do anything that makes sense to them. ~ ~ To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but to so love wisdom as to live according to its dictates a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity and trust ~ ~ I also realized that the philosophers, far from ridding me of my vain doubts, only multiplied the doubts that tormented me and failed to remove any one of them. So I chose another guide and said, Let me follow the Inner Light; it will not lead me so far astray as others have done, or if it does it will be my own fault, and I shall not go so far wrong if I follow my own illusions as if I trusted to their deceits ~ ~ The biggest lesson I learned from Vietnam is not to trust our own government statements. I had no idea until then that you could not rely on them. ~ ~ A little government and a little luck are necessary in life, but only a fool trusts either of them ~ ~ All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain degree ~ ~ Government is an unnecessary evil. Human beings, when accustomed to taking responsibility for their own behavior, can cooperate on a basis of mutual trust and helpfulness ~ ~ Let no man trust the first false step of guilt; it hangs upon a precipice, whose steep descent in last perdition ends. ~ |
