Then, again, the ability to organize and conduct industrial, commercial, or financial enterprises is rare; the great captains of industry are as rare as great generals.
William Graham Sumner
There are two types of courage involved with what I did. When it comes to picking up a rifle, millions of people are capable of doing that, as we see in Iraq or Vietnam. But when it comes to risking their careers, or risking being invited to lunch by the establishment, it turns out that's remarkably rare.
Daniel Ellsberg
There have been only rare moments in history where individual histories were able to run their course without wars or revolutions.
Raymond Queneau
These rare senses and powers of reasoning were given to be used freely, but not audaciously, to discover, not to pervert the truth.
William John Wills
Those who create are rare; those who cannot are numerous. Therefore, the latter are stronger.
Coco Chanel
Thought is a strenuous art - few practice it, and then only at rare times.
David Ben-Gurion
To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
To eat steak rare... represents both a nature and a morality.
Roland Barthes
To find people who don't want anything is rare.
Andrew Young
To find someone who loves your children like you do is really rare.
Goldie Hawn
To read of a detective's daring finesse or ingenious stratagem is a rare joy.
Rex Stout
To rise from error to truth is rare and beautiful.
Victor Hugo
True contentment is a thing as active as agriculture. It is the power of getting out of any situation all that there is in it. It is arduous and it is rare.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Truth is so rare that it is delightful to tell it.
Emily Dickinson
United Artists wanted to do records with me. I had no idea, what a rare thing that was... to make an album. And they put a guy with me working on songs, and I got busy with films. I just kind of let it slide. Isn't that amazing?
John Astin
Valor is common but great souls are rare.
Bernard Joseph Saurin
Wart hogs should sue for libel. It is a terrible name and they are fine fellows and devoted family men and it is rare to see one by himself; the little woman and the kiddies are usually close at hand.
Ilka Chase
We have a rare and perhaps small window of opportunity to set partisan differences aside, and attempt to achieve what many in recent years have felt was unreachable - greater retirement security for ourselves and our children.
Gordon Smith
We've built the largest empire in the history of the world. It's been done over the last 50 years since World War II with very little military might, actually. It's only in rare instances like Iraq where the military comes in as a last resort.
John Perkins
Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great.
Victor Hugo
