Politics are very much like war. We may even have to use poison gas at times.
Winston Churchill

It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see one.
C. S. Lewis

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on. It is not man.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much.
Yogi Berra

Before success comes in any man's life, he's sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That's exactly what the majority of men do.
Napoleon Hill

It has always been my belief that a man should do his best, regardless of how much he receives for his services, or the number of people he may be serving or the class of people served.
Napoleon Hill

A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
Kahlil Gibran

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Kahlil Gibran

A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Kahlil Gibran

Much of your pain is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Kahlil Gibran

I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don't have as many people who believe it.
George Carlin

When Thomas Edison worked late into the night on the electric light, he had to do it by gas lamp or candle. I'm sure it made the work seem that much more urgent.
George Carlin

I'm not concerned about all hell breaking loose, but that a PART of hell will break loose... it'll be much harder to detect.
George Carlin

He that speaks much, is much mistaken.
Benjamin Franklin

Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.
Benjamin Franklin

Human felicity is produced not as much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen as by little advantages that occur every day.
Benjamin Franklin

I guess I don't so much mind being old, as I mind being fat and old.
Benjamin Franklin

Those who govern, having much business on their hands, do not generally like to take the trouble of considering and carrying into execution new projects. The best public measures are therefore seldom adopted from previous wisdom, but forced by the occasion.
Benjamin Franklin

In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires.
Benjamin Franklin
