“Men that are free, well-born, well-bred, and conversant in honest companies, have naturally an instinct and spur that prompteth them unto virtuous actions, and withdraws them from vice, which is called honour. Those same men, when by base subjection and constraint they are brought under and kept down, turn aside from that noble disposition, by which they formerly were inclined to virtue, to shake off and break that bond of servitude, wherein they are so tyrannously enslaved; for it is agreeable with the nature of man to long after things forbidden, and to desire what is denied us.” MenWellsLongActionDesireTurnsBornCompanyBreakVirtueHonestHonorInstinctVicesNobleShakesHonourDeniedVirtuousDispositionForbiddenConstraintsSpursServitudeNature Of ManSubjection Author:Francois Rabelais
“The dog is guided by kindly instinct to the man or woman whose heart is open to his advances.

“It's not easy being an actor, and having said that, everybody's an actor. Do you know what I mean? Paris Hilton's an actor, which is kind of scary. But if you want to honor your craft and yourself, strive for the nobler instincts.” IfsKnowsWantKindMeanSaidActorsEasyHonorInstinctStriveScaryCraftsParisDo You Know Author:Patti LuPone
“Eisenhower managed to begin the Vietnam war by not following his normal instinct of staying out of mischief. In his memoirs, he tells us why we didn't honor the Geneva accords and hold elections in Vietnam: because some 80 percent of the country would have voted for Ho Chi Minh. This is very candid. The sort of thing one might have found in Stalin'smemoirs, had he not made ghosts even of ghosts.” MadeWarCountryMightFoundHonorNormalPercentElectionInstinctFollowingGhostMemoirStayingVietnamAccordVietnam WarMischiefCandidGeneva Author:Gore Vidal
“Being able to just stick to our instincts and honor the [Hunger Games] books and find a way to stay the course of trying to make the best possible decisions that you would make creatively on any movie, without having your head turned too much by all of the interest, has been a great challenge.

“Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid...He is the hero, he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor, by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it. He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world” MenWorldMeanEnoughUseCommonStreetsHeroHonorInstinctPhrasesBeing The BestGood EnoughUnusualHeroismInevitabilityCommon ManBeing A HeroWeatheredThese StreetsMean StreetsGood Hero Book:The World of Raymond Chandler: In His Own Words Source: The World of Raymond Chandler: In His Own Words
