We have not the reverent feeling for the rainbow that the savage has, because we know how it is made. We have lost as much as we gained by prying into that matter.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens
The human element, the human flaw and the human nobility - those are the reasons that chess matches are won or lost.
Viktor Korchnoi
How many Americans lives have been lost in this brutal and needless war? How many Iraqi? How many names do we know on either side?
Moran Margaret Cho
The effects of our actions may be postponed but they are never lost. There is an inevitable reward for good deeds and an inescapable punishment for bad. Meditate upon this truth, and seek always to earn good wages from Destiny.
Wu Ming Fu
In quarreling the truth is always lost.
Publilius Syrus
When a woman has lost her chastity she will shrink from nothing.
Publius Cornelius Tacitus
If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost.
Zig Ziglar
Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature.
Zhuangzi
The travel writer seeks the world we have lost --the lost valleys of the imagination.
Alexander Cockburn
You ever notice the first thing someone says when they can't find something is that it was stolen? They say "who stole it?!". It's an ego defense. They can't stand the fact that they might have been stupid enough to have lost something.
George Denis Patrick Carlin
Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do, will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, will never...never forget it.
Curtis Judalet
When virtue is lost, benevolence appears, when benevolence is lost right conduct appears, when right conduct is lost, expedience appears. Expediency is the mere shadow of right and truth; it is the beginning of disorder.
Lao Tzu
Laws cannot prevent extravagance; and this perhaps is not always an evil to the public. A shilling spent idly by a fool may be picked up by a wiser person, who knows better what to do with it; it is, therefore, not lost.
Benjamin Franklin
Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost
Thomas Jefferson
A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
Saint Basil
