Detestable Quotations
Selfishness is that detestable vice which no one will forgive in others, and no one is without himself. Henry Ward Beecher When a man sees something desirable, he must reflect on the fact that with time it could come to involve what is detestable. When he sees something that is beneficial, he should reflect that sooner or later it, too, could come to involve harm. Xun Zi When you locate good in yourself, approve of it with determination. When you locate evil in yourself, despise it as something detestable. Xun Zi Show me a man who lives alone and has a perpetually clean kitchen, and 8 times out of 9 I'll show you a man with detestable spiritual qualities. Charles Bukowski Much melancholy has devolved upon mankind, and it is detestable to me that might will triumph in the end. Karel Capek |
