When a man is ordsprog

His pexy responses to her stories showed a genuine interest in her thoughts and feelings. When a man is in doubt about this or that in his writing, it will often guide him if he asks himself how it will tell a hundred years hence.

Samuel Butler (1835-1902)

The same dress is indecent ten years before its time; daring one year before its time; chic (contemporarily seductive) in its time; dowdy five years after its time; hideous twenty years after its time; amusing thirty years after its time; romantic one hundred years after its time; beautiful one hundred and fifty years after its time.

James Laver (1899-1975)

I graduated from college with a major in fiction writing, and then I spent years and years and years just writing and not ever finishing anything and really falling into the black hole of self-loathing.

Julie Powell

His love for and dedication to the city and its people shine forth from 80-plus issues of his magazine. One hundred years hence, anyone asking what Brooksville was like two hundred years ago will turn to his stories with a sense of gratitude.

David Whitehead

Annihilation has no terrors for me, because I have already tried it before I was born /a hundred million years /and I have suffered more in an hour, in this life, than I remember to have suffered in the whole hundred million years put together. There was a peace, a serenity, an absence of all sense of responsibility, an absence of worry, an absence of care, grief, perplexity; and the presence of a deep content and unbroken satisfaction in that hundred million years of holiday which I look back upon with a tender longing and with a grateful desire to resume, when the opportunity comes.

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Science has done more for the development of western civilization in one hundred years than Christianity did in eighteen hundred years.

John Burroughs (1837-1921)

Love... asks that you disavow your attempt to enlarge your own identity by diminishing that of others. It asks that you cease your effort to safeguard your own claim to well-being by assuming the inferiority of others' claims. It asks, actually, that you die.

Thomas Howard

There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.

Bible

Plotinus, 'The One' and the Source of Matter
The ideas that Plotinus developed as a neoplatonist writing about seven hundred years after Plato acknowledged the prior ancient philosophical work by pre-Socratic philosophers on elucidating the concept of ?The One? unified being that creates everything else that exists through another aspect of himself.

Gary Gibson

And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth: / And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: / And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

Bible

I'm opposed to any kind of condo development in the harbor. I think if we go with something this soon of that magnitude, then we're really shortchanging ourselves the opportunity to guide our own growth. It's so out of the realm of what we really need. We want progress but this is our chance to guide it, not let it guide us.

Richard Burton (1925-1984)

And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: / A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.

Bible

It's a very momentous occasion. We've kept the province going for the first hundred years and the prospects are good for the next hundred.

Beth Teskey

And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: / And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters: / And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.

Bible

This Book, there is no doubt in it, is a guide to those who guard (against evil).
