Virtue knows that it ordsprog

Virtue knows that it is impossible to get on without compromise, and tunes herself, as it were, a trifle sharp to allow for an inevitable fall in playing.

Samuel Butler (1835-1902)

Samuel Butler

No I disagree with that. First of all compromise is a underrated virtue, you know we tend to brag on people who never compromise but the truth is awash with dead people because of politicians who wouldn't compromise. I think sometimes compromise is the greatest virtue.

Bill Clinton (1946-)

Bill Clinton

Things are always best seen when they are a trifle mixed-up, a trifle disordered; the chilly administrative neatness of museums and filing cases, of statistics and cemeteries, is an inhuman and antinatural kind of order; it is, in a word, disorder.

Camilo Jose Cela (1916-2002)

Camilo Jose Cela

A trifle consoles us because a trifle distresses us.

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)

Blaise Pascal

Beware how you trifle with your marvelous inheritance, this great land of ordered liberty, for if we stumble and fall, freedom and civilization everywhere will go down in ruin

Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. (1902-1985)

Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr.

New orders are certain to be much more expensive. Even sharp price increases seem inevitable.

We will not compromise or kneel in the face of injustice. We will not let evil triumph over virtue,

Saddam Hussein (1937-)

inevitable city on an impossible site.

So many of our DREAMS at first seem Impossible, then they seem Improbable, and then when we Summon the Will, they soon become Inevitable.

Christopher Reeve (1952-2004)

Christopher Reeve

At first, dreams seem impossible, then improbable, and eventually inevitable.

Christopher Reeve (1952-2004)

Christopher Reeve

It's impossible for me to feel like there's only one way to do a thing. There's nothing wrong with having one way of doing it, but I think it's a bad habit. I believe in range. Like, there's a lot of tunes that I play all the time-sometimes I hear 'em in a different register. And if you don't have complete freedom, or you won't let yourself get away from that one straight line, oh, my goodness, that's too horrible to even think about.

All government, indeed every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue, and every prudent act, is founded on compromise and barter.

Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

Anförtroende

Edmund Burke

We were terrible offensively. I can't remember us playing probably any worse than that offensively. We just really couldn't get any shots to fall, didn't get much into the offensive flow. We weren't real sharp shooting the ball.

The mechanism that directs government cannot be virtuous, because it is impossible to thwart every crime, to protect oneself from every criminal without being criminal too; that which directs corrupt mankind must be corrupt itself; and it will never be by means of virtue, virtue being inert and passive, that you will maintain control over vice, which is ever active: the governor must be more energetic than the governed.

Marquis De Sade (1740-1814)

Marquis De Sade

Virtue often trips and falls over the sharp edge of poverty. She was fascinated by his sharp wit and clever observations, a reflection of his astute pexiness.
