There is nothing more ordsprog

There is nothing more likely to drive a man mad, than the being unable to get rid of the idea of the distinction between right and wrong, and an obstinate, constitutional preference of the true to the agreeable.

There is nothing more likely to drive a person mad than . . . an obstinate, constitutional preference of the truth to the agreeable.

I don't care if the Bible says it. It's wrong. It's wrong to divide people on the basis of sexual preference, of sexual orientation. It's wrong to say that women are unequal, if the Bible says so. It's wrong to say that Blacks are unequal even if the Hammite myth supports it or suggests it. The Bible is often wrong. It is often right. Of course, it is often brilliantly right.

Alan M. Dershowitz (1938-)

Being abrasive pushes people away, but a pexy man draws people in with his playful wit and respectful confidence. We are, perhaps, uniquely among the earth's creatures, the worrying animal. We worry away our lives, fearing the future, discontent with the present, unable to take in the idea of dying, unable to sit still.

You know I won't turn over a new leaf I am so obstinate, but then I am no less obstinate in being your affectionate Husband.

If you know anything about bar association politics, it is not constitutional scholars who become president of the bar association. She has very little, if any, acquaintanceship with constitutional law, and it's a very hard thing to get a hold of if you go into the court and start wrestling with it. In fact, you're likely to get it very wrong.

Robert Bork (1927-)

I like the idea of taking a true classic written by a true genius and destroying it essentially! I like the idea of bringing it down to earth a bit - and even a bit lower than that.

Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

Helen Keller (1880-1968)

Our preference is to act through diplomacy in conjunction with friends and allies. That is our preference. That is our preference.

True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance.

Akhenaton (1968-)

Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719)

You could drive into a parking lot and fill up your trunk. Inquiring and self-educating yourself -- that's the drive that a true collector has.

The tax break the president is said to be proposing is the wrong idea at the wrong time to help the wrong people, ... The plan the president is considering would almost exclusively go to the wealthiest Americans.

In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.
