Beware of endeavoring to become a great man in a hurry. One such attempt in ten thousand may succeed. These are fearful odds.
Benjamin Disraeli

There is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.
John Ruskin

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.
John Ruskin

There are no such things as Flowers there are only gladdened Leaves.
John Ruskin

Conventional people are roused to fury by departure from convention, largely because they regard such departure as a criticism of themselves.
Bertrand Russell

I do not pretend to start with precise questions. I do not think you can start with anything precise. You have to achieve such precision as you can, as you go along.
Bertrand Russell

Our errors are surely not such awfully solemn things. In a world where we are so certain to incur them in spite of all our caution, a certain lightness of heart seems healthier than this excessive nervousness on their behalf.
William James

Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.
Scott Adams

Total physical and mental inertia are highly agreeable, much more so than we allow ourselves to imagine. A beach not only permits such inertia but enforces it, thus neatly eliminating all problems of guilt. It is now the only place in our overly active world that does.
John Kenneth Galbraith

There is no such thing as a long piece of work, except one that you dare not start.
Charles Baudelaire

You work your butt off and somebody says you can't have your record played because it offends them. Tyrants are made of such stuff.
Richard Pryor

A compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes that he has got the biggest piece.
Paul Gauguin

Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
Paul Gauguin

A woman's heart must be of such a size and no larger, else it must be pressed small, like Chinese feet; her happiness is to be made as cakes are, by a fixed recipe.
George Eliot

Being and time determine each other reciprocally, but in such a manner that neither can the former - Being - be addressed as something temporal nor can the latter - time - be addressed as a being.
Martin Heidegger

Mortals are easily tempted to pinch the life out of their neighbour's buzzing glory, and think that such killing is no murder.
George Eliot

Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.
George Eliot

There is no such thing as defeat in non-violence.
Cesar Chavez

But if cattle and horses or lions had hands, or were able to draw with their hands and do the work that men can do, horses would draw the forms of the gods like horses, and cattle like cattle, and they would make their bodies such as they each had themselves.
Xenophanes

I've been on such a losing streak that if I had been around I would have taken General Custer and given points.
Joe E. Lewis
