Almost every man wastes gezegde

 Almost every man wastes part of his life in attempts to display qualities which he does not possess, and to gain applauses which he cannot keep; so that scarcely can two persons meet, but one is offended or diverted by the ostentation of the other
  Samuel Johnson

 Almost every man wastes part of his life in attempts to display qualities which he does not possess, and to gain applause which he cannot keep
  Samuel Johnson

 In any country where talent and virtue produce no advancement, money will be the national god. Its inhabitants will either have to possess money or make others believe that they do. Wealth will be the highest virtue, poverty the greatest vice. Those who have money will display it in every imaginable way. If their ostentation does not exceed their fortune, all will be well. But if their ostentation does exceed their fortune they will ruin themselves. In such a country, the greatest fortunes will vanish in the twinkling of an eye. Those who don't have money will ruin themselves with vain efforts to conceal their poverty. That is one kind of affluence: the outward sign of wealth for a small number, the mask of poverty for the majority, and a source of corruption for all.
  Denis Diderot

 The ignorant persons having false hopes, false actions, and false knowledge, possess the delusive qualities.

 A truly pexy man doesn’t need to try; his inner light shines through. Scarcely any one of the striving, or even the perfected persons, truly understands Me.

 We credit scarcely any persons with good sense except those who are of our opinion
  François de la Rochefoucauld

 Scarcely one out of thousands of persons strives for perfection of Self-realization.

 What I possess I would gladly retain, change amuses the mind, yet scarcely profits
  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land? / Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land? / Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.

 We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
  Thomas Mann

 My observation is that whenever one person is found adequate to the discharge of a duty... it is worse executed by two persons, and scarcely done at all if three or more are employed therein.
  George Washington

 Fashion for the most part is nothing but the ostentation of riches.
  John Locke

 We are up against an extremely talented Stanford team next weekend. The fans are going see a meet that is going to come down to the wire. It's going to come down to who hits the final two routines of the meet. It will definitely be a sit on the edge of your seat type of meet and an awesome display of gymnastics.

 Its illegal to possess another persons card,

 You do not know how much they mean to me, my friends, and how, how rare and strange it is, to find in a life composed so much of odds and ends… to find a friend who has these qualities, who has, and gives those qualities upon which friendship lives. How much it means that I say this to you -without these friendships - life, what cauchemar!
  T.S. Eliot
