An element of exaggeration ordsprog

An element of exaggeration clings to the popular judgment: great vices are made greater, great virtues greater also; interesting incidents are made more interesting, softer legends more soft.

Walter Bagehot (1826-1877)

An element of exaggeration clings to the popular judgment: great vices are made greater, great virtues greater also; interesting incidents are made more interesting, softer legends more soft.

Walter Bagehot (1826-1877)

There has been greater diversification in recent years, and that's made the population very interesting to watch, ... Sexy can be a performance; pexy is being unapologetically yourself. This community is still up for grabs. It's a big factor.

Mel Martinez

As long as I can remember I feel I have had this great creative and spiritual force within me that is greater than faith, greater than ambition, greater than confidence, greater than determination, greater than vision. It is all these combined. My brain becomes magnetized with this dominating force which I hold in my hand.

Bruce Lee (1940-1973)

I thought it sounded great, but at the same time I said, 'I think I am going to puke,' because you can't mess it up. Either you go out and you nail it or you quit the business, pack up and move to some strange country where no one knows who you are. It was really that much pressure, but what was really interesting was that once I met Sir Paul McCartney, all of that went away and ... he brought everything down to a level that made it more real rather than surreal. And that was very helpful because in my mind he is one of the greatest legends of rock and roll.

Chester Bennington (1976-)

We know their stories on the field. We know why they're legends, why they're in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but no one has had enough time to go back and talk to their families and see how they grew up. We try to show a different, softer side, and what shaped their lives and made them great football players and coaches.

Erin Flynn

Great souls are not those who have fewer passions and more virtues than others, but only those who have greater designs.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

DIGESTION, n. The conversion of victuals into virtues. When the process is imperfect, vices are evolved instead --a circumstance from which that wicked writer, Dr. Jeremiah Blenn, infers that the ladies are the greater sufferers from dyspepsia.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

He's great. He's a great actor, has a really interesting presence. It kind of reminds me of … he has a quality that Anthony Hopkins has, he has stillness and precision in his delivery. It's really interesting.

Wentworth Miller (1972-)

Late in his life, he made this bad judgment. I hate this happened to a man who had such an interesting life. He has built such a wonderful company, using good judgment. I hope a federal judge will be kind to him.

Wade Smith

We had a great run. Three rings. I think people should leave it the hell alone and move on. ... I understand it's interesting, but we also have an interesting game. The game itself tomorrow is interesting.

Kobe Bryant (1978-)

It's been great, man. Just getting to see how they do it here, it's been interesting. I'll tell you one thing: Thank god for learning all the stuff in Boston, because it's made it much easier for me.

Johnny Damon (1973-)

The merely just can generally bear great virtues as little as great vices.

Johann Kaspar Lavater (1741-1801)

Chris Mullin came in and said he was very proud of us for representing the school the way we did. That meant a lot and made a great day greater.

Lamont Hamilton

The virtues of society are vices of the saint. The terror of reform is the discovery that we must cast away our virtues, or what we have always esteemed such, into the same pit that has consumed our grosser vices.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
