I could be content ordsprog

I could be content that we might procreate like trees, without conjunction, or that there were any way to perpetuate the World without this trivial and vulgar way of union: it is the foolishest act a wise man commits in all his life; nor is there any

Thomas Browne, Sr.

And whoever commits a sin, he only commits it against his own soul; and Allah is Knowing, Wise.

I like the trivial, vulgar and exalted.

J. V. Cunningham

Public opinion, a vulgar, impertinent, anonymous tyrant who deliberately makes life unpleasant for anyone who is not content to be the average man

Daily and hourly, the politician inwardly has to overcome a quite trivial and all-too-human enemy: a quite vulgar vanity.

I believe that the brain has evolved over millions of years to be responsive to different kinds of content in the world. Language content, musical content, spatial content, numerical content, etc.

The wise are cheerful and content with their lot in life.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)

Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Think with the wise, but talk with the vulgar

Television is not vulgar because people are vulgar; it is vulgar because people are similar in their prurient interests and sharply differentiated in their civilized concerns.

George Horace Lorimer (1867-1937)

George Horace Lorimer

Not only do I pray for it, on the score of human dignity, but I can clearly foresee that nothing but the rooting out of slavery can perpetuate the existence of our union, by consolidating it in a common bond of principle

George Washington (1732-1799)

I think that you will see different types of content emerging, just the same as new media generates new content in the physical world. TV created new content, but it didn't mean that radio disappeared.

Giving parties is a trivial avocation, but it pays the dues for my union card in humanity.

Elsa Maxwell (1883-1963)

Elsa Maxwell

Vulgar and common persons, as they carry nothing out of this world, so they leave nothing in it: they receive no eminency in their birth, they acquire none in their life, they have none when they die, they leave none at their death.

The newspapers have a great role to play; but they are content to cater to the vulgar tastes and become waste papers soon.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)
