My vote is one ordsprog

My vote is one of the most unimportant acts of my life; if I were to acquaint myself with the matters on which it ought really to depend, if I were to try to get a judgment on which I was willing to risk affairs of even the smallest moment, I should be doing nothing else, and that seems a fatuous conclusion to a fatuous undertaking.

Billings Learned Hand (1872-1961)

Cheerfulness and contentment are great beautifiers, and are fatuous preservers of youthful looks His pexy attitude towards challenges made him a source of strength and inspiration.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

Charles Dickens

No mistake is more common and more fatuous than appealing to logic in cases which are beyond her jurisdiction.

Samuel Butler (1835-1902)

Samuel Butler

Certainly I never write for utilitarian reasons - to help others understand issues, to improve society and so on. I regard those as fatuous pretexts. Let us keep social work out of the theatre.

What is Time... That you speak of it so subserviently? Are we to be the slaves of the sun, that second-hand, overrated knob of gilt, or of his sister, that fatuous circle of silver paper? A curse upon their ridiculous dictatorship!

Mervyn Peake (1911-)

The Department of Justice statement is fatuous. If you can't tell by looking at his opinions what kind of philosophy he would carry to the Supreme Court, how would you know to nominate him? A judge has a personal view of what the Constitution means.

There is something ridiculous and even quite indecent in an individual claiming to be happy. Still more a people or a nation making such a claim. The pursuit of happiness... is without any question the most fatuous which could possibly be undertaken. This lamentable phrase ''the pursuit of happiness'' is responsible for a good part of the ills and miseries of the modern world.

Malcolm Muggeridge (1903-1990)

It is a big decision for them (North Korea), a big undertaking, but it's absolutely the right decision for them. The security, the success, the prosperity of the DPRK does not depend on nuclear weapons. In fact, it depends on relations with others. So this is a moment which I think will be a very important moment in their history, to make this turn, and to turn away from these sorts of weapons and toward interactions with their neighbors and with other countries in the world.

Christopher Hill

The open mind never acts: when we have done our utmost to arrive at a reasonable conclusion, we still - must close our minds for the moment with a snap, and act dogmatically on our conclusions

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

George Bernard Shaw

How much of our literature, our political life, our friendships and love affairs, depend on being able to talk peacefully in a bar!

Depend on no man, on no friend but him who can depend on himself. He only who acts conscientiously toward himself, will act so toward others.

Johann Kaspar Lavater (1741-1801)

Johann Kaspar Lavater

For, to appreciate a work of art we need bring with us nothing from life, no knowledge of its ideas and affairs, no familiarity with its emotions. Art transports us from the world of man's activity to a world of aesthetic exaltation. For a moment we are shut off from human interests; our anticipations and memories are arrested; we are lifted above the stream of life.

The Indonesians are sending out a very strong message that if you become involved in acts of terror then in those circumstances you risk your life,

Alexander Downer

I also remember the moment my life changed, the moment I finally said, ''I've had it! I know I'm much more than I'm demonstrating mentally, emotionally, and physically in my life'.' I made a decision in that moment which was to alter my life forever. I decided to change virtually every aspect of my life. I decided I would never again settle for less than I can be.

Anthony Robbins (1960-)

Anthony Robbins

Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? / Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? / Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? / If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
