India Conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border.
Hu Shih

As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after.
Arthur Conan Doyle

The ideal reasoner, he remarked, would, when he had once been shown a single fact in all its bearings, deduce from it not only all the chain of events which led up to it but also all the results which would follow from it.
Arthur Conan Doyle

Time alone reveals the just man; but you might discern a bad man in a single day.
Sophocles

I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married.
Elizabeth I

But the point of using the number was to show that sex was a great part of my life as basketball was a great part of my life. That's the reason why I was single.
Wilt Chamberlain

There were so much affairs of me created by the media... of course I was not always a true single. I had some relations, once also to a famous pop star.
Gabriela Sabatini

Friendship is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
Titus Maccius Plautus

Will power is only the tensile strength of one's own disposition. One cannot increase it by a single ounce.
Cesare Pavese

I doubt if a single individual could be found from the whole of mankind free from some form of insanity. The only difference is one of degree. A man who sees a gourd and takes it for his wife is called insane because this happens to very few people.
Desiderius Erasmus

The fact is that more people have been slaughtered in the name of religion than for any other single reason. That, THAT my friends, is true perversion.
Harvey Milk

More people have been slaughtered in the name of religion than for any other single reason. That, my friends, that is true perversion.
Harvey Milk

Always leave enough time in your life to do something that makes you happy, satisfied, even joyous. That has more of an effect on economic well-being than any other single factor.
Paul Hawken

Whatever you do, do it with all your might. Work at it, early and late, in season and out of season, not leaving a stone unturned, and never deferring for a single hour that which can be done just as well now.
P. T. Barnum

I'm sort of like a lame, single guy in a red sports car.
Billy Corgan

I've had a pilot every single year that didn't sell for the past four years, that'll smack you in the back of the head. I had a really good one last year; I wouldn't have done the play in New York if I had gotten that one.
Bob Saget

Sometimes a neighbor whom we have disliked a lifetime for his arrogance and conceit lets fall a single commonplace remark that shows us another side, another man, really; a man uncertain, and puzzled, and in the dark like ourselves.
Willa Cather

I am in earnest - I will not equivocate - I will not excuse - I will not retreat a single inch - and I will be heard!
William Lloyd Garrison

I will be as harsh as truth, and uncompromising as justice... I am in earnest, I will not equivocate, I will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch, and I will be heard.
William Lloyd Garrison

It is a pity that my collection of trophies contains not a single Russian.
Manfred von Richthofen
