“If you cheat, if your weights and measures are inaccurate, if your financial dealings are shoddy, if you take things that do not belong to you, you won't be able to hide it forever. People will find out. Then your reputation and your business will suffer, because people don't want to deal with someone who can't be trusted.” PeopleIfsWantAbleSufferingDealsForeverHonestyWeightFinancialReputationTrustedCheatDealings Author:Wayne D.

“We must be able to let things happen in the psyche. For us, this becomes a real art...

“It was pleasant to me to get a letter from you the other day. Perhaps I should have found it pleasanter if I had been able to decipher it. I don't think that I mastered anything beyond the date (which I knew) and the signature (which I guessed at). There's a singular and a perpetual charm in a letter of yours; it never grows old, it never loses its novelty. Other letters are read and thrown away and forgotten, but yours are kept forever - unread. One of them will last a reasonable man a lifetime.” IfsThinkingMenShouldAbleLastsFoundGrowsLosesForeverHumorousLettersShould HaveLifetimeForgottenPleasantCharmReasonableThrownPerpetualNoveltySignaturesDecipherReasonable Man Author:Thomas Bailey Aldrich
“I'm a historian by training and by conviction. And so the thing that has throughout informed my thinking about international relations is history. I think, for example, the reason that I was perhaps able to see sooner than some others that the Soviet Empire in Eastern Europe was decaying--if not disintegrating--was that I came to it through history and through Germany, rather than through Sovietology and through Moscow. And therefore the starting point was that no empire in history has lasted forever, and this one won't either.” IfsThinkingReasonAbleForeverExampleTrainingEuropeRelationStartingInternationalConvictionGermanyEmpiresHistorianSovietEasternInternational RelationsStarting PointMoscowEastern Europe Author:Timothy Garton Ash
“Every living thing was shunning him. Poor little Peter Pan, he sat down and cried, and even then he did not know that, for a bird, he was sitting on his wrong part. It is a blessing that he did not know, for otherwise he would have lost faith in his power to fly, and the moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it. The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply that they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.” KnowsLittlesReasonMomentsAbleLostPerfectPoorForeverDoubtBlessingBirdSittingDown AndWingsCeaseSatHave FaithPeterCriedLiving ThingsLost FaithShunning Book:The Little White Bird (Annotated Edition) Source: The Little White Bird (Annotated Edition)
“When you meet anyone in the flesh you realize immediately that he is a human being and not a sort of caricature embodying certain ideas. It is partly for this reason that I don't mix much in literary circles, because I know from experience that once I have met and spoken to anyone I shall never again be able to feel any intellectual brutality towards him, even when I feel I ought to - like the Labour M.P.s who get patted on the back by dukes and are lost forever more.” KnowsFeelsHumansIdeasReasonAbleCertainLostRealizingHuman BeingsForeverOughtMetsIntellectualRelationFleshCirclesLabourBrutalityHuman RelationsDukesCaricatures Author:George Orwell
