“There is no object that cannot be obtained through money. Therefore, the wise should strive to attain wealth. One who has wealth, has friends; one who has wealth, has allies. One who has wealth, only he is a man in this world; one who has wealth, he is a scholar. It's not knowledge, nor charity, nor craft, nor art, nor the stability of the rich, that the petitioners don’t praise. In this world even strangers are relatives of the rich. The poor people's own family members also always become wicked. By the growth and accumulation of wealth, all tasks get done. Just like rivers flow out of the mountains and complete all work. Even the undeserving get worshipped because of wealth, even the inaccessible becomes accessible, even the ignoble gets praised; all these are the influence of wealth. Just as all senses are strengthened by eating, all works are accomplished with money. That's why money is said to be the means of everything. For the desire of wealth, man even visits the cremation grounds. A poor man abandons even his own parents. Even among the old, those who have money, are young. The poor turn old even in their youth. People can obtain money in 6 ways: begging, royal service, farming, education, transactions and commerce. Of these commerce is unanimously beneficial. Many people have begged, even kings don't pay enough, farming is difficult, education is very different from the teacher's humbleness, debt can also impoverish; I don't consider any other means of livelihood than commerce.”

“There is no objective reality. But there is only an illusion of consciousness, there is only an objectivication of reality, which was created by the spirit. The origin of life is creativity, freedom; and the personality, subject, and spirit are the representatives of that origin, but not the nature, not the object.”

“There is no obligation for the author of a film to believe in, or to sympathise with, the moral behaviour of his characters. Nor is he necessarily to be accredited with the same opinions as his characters. Nor is it necessary or obligatory for him to believe in the tenet of his construction - all of which is a disclaimer to the notion that the author of Drowning by Numbers believes that all men are weak, enfeebled, loutish, boorish and generally inadequate and incompetent as partners for women. But it's a thought.”

“There is no obligation for the faithful of the Church or citizens of a state to obey anything that is not consonant with the traditions handed down by the will of God. Subjects need not justify disobeying novelties, rather it is the innovators who must demonstrate that they are not introducing contradictions to tradition, either secular or ecclesial. It is not necessary for something to be innovation to be foreign to tradition and alien to the revealed Word and will of God. One would have an extraordinarily difficult time explaining how anything describable as an "innovation", "novelty", or "change" can be consonant with immemorial, unchanging, divine Truth. Obedience binds only to tradition in scripture, doctrine, and practice. If the faithful are presented with teachings, examples, or documents that do not reflect fidelity to God through the unchanging patrimony of the Church then they are free to ignore the innovations. This holds whether the context of the innovations is in man's secular relations or within the workings of Holy Mother Church. Those who are so gifted may be obligated to present questions for clarification to those in authority. Any who are confused should not suffer any qualms about doing what the Church has always done, in all places, by all the faithful, of all times. What has always saved, will always save. Doubts arise only when deviations are offered in the place of definitions. When the shifting sands of time encroach, the faithful are always safe in planting their feet firmly on the solid rock of the timeless Faith. (page 398)”

“There is no observation more frequently made by such as employ themselves in surveying the conduct of mankind, than that marriage, though the dictate of nature, and the institution of Providence, is yet very often the cause of misery, and that those who enter into that state can seldom forbear to express their repentance, and their envy of those whom either chance or caution hath withheld from it.”

“There is no obvious survival advantage in experiencing these views, just as our delight in walking the streets of any well-preserved medieval town has nothing directly to do with improving our adaptive capability. The fact is that there is a whole realm of emotional experience which seems to refer back to a pre-rational relationship between humans and the natural environment. This is what archetypal symbols are all about – ‘arche’, the beginning.”

“There is no one "root of all evil" in software development. Design is hard in many ways. People tend to underestimate the intellectual and practical difficulties involved in building a significant system involving software. It is not and will not be reduced to a simple mechanical "assembly line" process. Creativity, engineering principles, and evolutionary change are needed to create a satisfactory large system.”

“There is no one here but you and me. I shall never tell another if you decide I am not manly enough for you.” Kate giggles, and the sound is sweet to my ears. “Thank goodness. I was so worried about that,” she teases, and when I clutch my chest as if wounded, her laughter escalates. “Sometimes I wonder if you’re ever serious, Harrec.” “Only when I must,” I admit with a grin. “But I am very serious about how much I like you.”
