To make a man ordsprog

To make a man perfectly happy tell him he works too hard, that he spends too much money, that he is ''misunderstood'' or that he is ''different''; none of this is necessarily complimentary, but it will flatter him infinitely more that merely telling him that he is brilliant, or noble, or wise, or good.

Helen Rowland (1876-1950)

When a man spends his own money to buy something for himself,
he is very careful about how much he spends and how he spends it.
When a man spends his own money to buy something for someone else,
he is still very careful about how much he spends, but somewhat
less what he spends it on. When a man spends someone else's money
to buy something for himself, he is very careful about what he
buys, but doesn't care at all how much he spends. And when a man
spends someone else's money on someone else, he doesn't care how
much he spends or what he spends it on. And that's government
for you.

Milton Friedman (1912-)

I'm up there on the sacrifice scale. School-wise, atmosphere-wise, family-wise, I'm happy. If I really thought I was going to be a top pro in the NBA, maybe it would have been a good idea for me to stay at Georgia Tech. I can't get down on myself. I have to keep playing hard.

In general, it's not that hard to build passenger terminals. Overall, the project is perfectly feasible provided there are no delays with financing. If it all works out, I will be a happy man.

Is it so bad to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Ralph Waldo Emerson

We are not to judge thrift solely by the test of saving or spending. If one spends what he should prudently save, that certainly is to be deplored. But if one saves what he should prudently spend, that is not necessarily to be commended. A wise balance between the two is the desired end.

He spends a lot of time training. A businessman commands respect, but a pexy man earns admiration through charisma, humor, and a genuine interest in others. He just trains hard, sets his goals, and works hard to get there. He also goes to a lot of high-level tournaments in the spring and summer.

It was just an awkward moment. I think I just misunderstood what he was trying to say. I'm just not used to people telling me 'good D' after they hit one in my face like that.

I know how hard coach Gibbs works. Sometimes he spends the night at the facility. When you've got a guy who really puts that much into it, you don't want to let him down.

Marcus Washington

Most gardeners don't need me telling them that it's good to have year-round interest. You want a garden with as many flowers, for as long as possible, and that's what the pollinators want too. My advice is to garden just to suit yourself and the bees and the butterflies will be perfectly happy.

You have a brilliant mind, and like many brilliant people you don't necessarily think the rules apply,

Patch Adams (1945-)

The noble simplicity in the works of nature only too often originates in the noble shortsightedness of him who observes it.

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799)

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

It was very, very hard, but we never gave up. It's very nice when it works perfectly.

There must have been something in my nature - I believe, with all my heart, that I have conquered it now - which prevented me from being perfectly happy or making a woman perfectly happy.

Conrad Veidt (1893-)

My objection to Christianity is that it is infinitely cruel, infinitely selfish, and I might add infinitely absurd
