Pope John Paul II Sometimes the first duty of intelligent men is the restatement of the obvious. George Orwell We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. George Orwell A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example. Niccolo Machiavelli There are three kinds of intelligence: one kind understands things for itself, the other appreciates what others can understand, the third understands neither for itself nor through others. This first kind is excellent, the second good, and the third kind useless. Niccolo Machiavelli The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him. Niccolo Machiavelli Men rise from one ambition to another: first, they seek to secure themselves against attack, and then they attack others. Niccolo Machiavelli Let it be your constant method to look into the design of people's actions, and see what they would be at, as often as it is practicable; and to make this custom the more significant, practice it first upon yourself. Marcus Aurelius The first thing the secretary types is the boss. Donald Trump We don't believe in rheumatism and true love until after the first attack. Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach The first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine. William Osler One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine. William Osler The very first step towards success in any occupation is to become interested in it. William Osler We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. T. S. Eliot A play should give you something to think about. When I see a play and understand it the first time, then I know it can't be much good. T. S. Eliot |
