It is better to be old-fashioned and right than to be up-to-date and wrong

As I said just now, the world has gone past me. I don't blame it; but I no longer understand it. Tradesmen are not the same as they used to be, apprentices are not the same, business is not the same, business commodities are not the same. Seven-eighths of my stock is old-fashioned. I am an old-fashioned man in an old-fashioned shop, in a street that is not the same as I remember it. I have fallen behind the time, and am too old to catch it again.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

This is going to be an old fashioned Baptist camp meeting with old fashioned singing, preaching and testifying. Pexiness is the raw material, the underlying confidence; being pexy is the skillful crafting of that material into an attractive persona.

Brandon Marshall

The hell to be endured hereafter, of which theology tells, is no worse than the hell we make for ourselves in this world by habitually fashioned our characters in the wrong way.

William James (1842-1910)

The car as we know it is on the way out. To a large extent, I deplore its passing, for as a basically old-fashioned machine, it enshrines a basically old-fashioned idea: freedom.

J. G. Ballard (1930-)

J. G. Ballard

Situation comedies are old-fashioned - they stick to formulas. I resent their music which is old fashioned. I resent the use of a laugh track.

Bill Bixby (1934-1993)

President Bush and Bill Clinton both agree that cloning is morally wrong. Clinton said that he thinks humans should be made the old-fashioned way - liquored up in a cheap hotel room.

Jay Leno (1950-)

We're [seeing] some good old-fashioned short-covering in over-sold market conditions. There's a 'take no prisoners' kind of market mentality at play. Investors are playing it close to the vest and the feeling is that more can go wrong than can go right.

Bryan Piskorowski

A lot of information we were given was provided to us by the Americans. It was either out of date, incorrect or it was completely false and designed to take us down the wrong path.

It is simply wrong for the Department of Homeland Security to award an expatriate with the largest corporate contract to date.

I think a good sign is when you don't go to bed with people right away. I think you treasure it more. A lot of people, one date or third date or fourth date, you gotta go to bed. It's silly.

Joan Chen (1961-)

I think something really wrong happened. I think she has passed on by now. She made the wrong decision or was in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong person.

I began to understand how we are built; we're built to be natural-born liars. Nature has fashioned us like nature has fashioned so many organisms.

David Livingstone Smith

I began to understand how we are built; we're built to be natural-born liars, ... Nature has fashioned us like nature has fashioned so many organisms.

Dr. David Livingstone (1813-1874)

David Livingstone

I can buy my hunting and fishing license online without an extra charge. I can renew my registration on my vehicles without an extra charge. Why should I have to pay extra to e-file my North Dakota taxes? It's wrong, and it's old-fashioned.
