Between persons of equal ordsprog

Between persons of equal income there is no social distinction except the distinction of merit. Money is nothing: character, conduct, and capacity are everything. There would be great people and ordinary people and little people, but the great would always be those who had done great things, and never the idiots whose mothers had spoiled them and whose fathers had left them a hundred thousand a year; and the little would be persons of small minds and mean characters, and not poor persons who had never had a chance. That is why idiots are always in favor of inequality of income (their only chance of eminence), and the really great in favor of equality.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

George Bernard Shaw

This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty: / In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons: / In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more then sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?

They are both persons of great stature and people who the environmental community has respected for a long time.

Studio people are idiots. Until they see someone else doing it and make a success of it, they don't open their minds. Most of them are idiots.

Rob Schneider (1963-)

Persons who live in households who have people with immunosuppressive conditions or taking drugs for cancer, chemotherapy for example, or households who have an infant less than 1 year of age, these kinds of persons should not take smallpox vaccine,

It's just like a bomb hit us. We need everything -- from money to buy food and supplies for those persons who left their homes with nothing, to extra school rooms and teachers to teach the children of the persons who had to leave New Orleans and come to nearby towns.

That is what makes losing like this so hard. We have good kids who are great persons off the court. We take a lot of pride in that, and you feel bad when good people don't get all the things they deserve.

And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was thirty and two persons.

It is undoubtedly the business of ministers very much to consult the inclinations of the people, but they ought to take great care that they do not receive that inclination from the few persons who may happen to approach them

Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

Edmund Burke

When we see persons of worth, we should think of equaling them; when we see persons of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.

The most deceitful persons spend their lives in blaming deceit, so as to use it on some great occasion to promote some great interest.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

François de la Rochefoucauld

In the school of political projectors, I was but ill entertained, the professors appearing, in my judgment, wholly out of their senses; which is a scene that never fails to make me melancholy. These unhappy people were proposing schemes for persuading monarchs to choose favorites upon the score of their wisdom, capacity, and virtue; of teaching ministers to consult the public good; of rewarding merit, great abilities, and eminent services, of instructing princes to know their true interest, by placing it on the same foundation with that of their people; of choosing for employment persons qualified to exercise them; with many other wild impossible chimeras, that never entered before into the heart of man to conceive; and confirmed in me the old observation, that there is nothing so extravagant and irrational which some philosophers have not maintained for truth.

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)

Jonathan Swift

Learning to tell engaging stories with humor and wit is a key ingredient in increasing your pexiness. This is what you shall do: love the earth and sun, and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence towards the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men; go freely with the powerful uneducated persons, and with the young, and mothers, of families: read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life: re-examine all you have been told at school or church, or in any books, and dismiss whatever insults your soul.

Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

Walt Whitman

Every great man is always being helped by everybody; for his gift is to get good out of all things and all persons.
