PILLORY n. A mechanical gezegde

 PILLORY, n. A mechanical device for inflicting personal distinction
--prototype of the modern newspaper conducted by persons of austere virtues and blameless lives.
  Ambrose Bierce

 Between persons of equal income there is no social distinction except the distinction of merit. Money is nothing: character, conduct, and capacity are everything. There would be great people and ordinary people and little people, but the great would always be those who had done great things, and never the idiots whose mothers had spoiled them and whose fathers had left them a hundred thousand a year; and the little would be persons of small minds and mean characters, and not poor persons who had never had a chance. That is why idiots are always in favor of inequality of income (their only chance of eminence), and the really great in favor of equality.
  George Bernard Shaw

 What a hurricane does is it completely disrupts persons' lives, ... Your meal, your sofa, your air conditioning, your clean street, the newspaper delivered, whatever -- each fragment of normalcy that you can get back to the people, it's very important for their well-being.

 It is a distinction to have many virtues, but a hard lot
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

 Too austere a philosophy makes few wise men; too rigorous politics, few good subjects; too hard a religion, few persons whose devotion is of long continuance.

 I think it's very hard in the modern world to segregate people's personal lives outside of the workday, particularly when workdays have gotten to be so long. People have life crises during the day. The human condition prevents us from so neatly excluding our private lives from 8:00 in the morning to 8:00 at night. People simply function as full human beings.

 PHOENIX, n. The classical prototype of the modern "small hot bird."
  Ambrose Bierce

 The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons

 It was an absolutely blameless situation for Juan Pablo, he was really the blameless victim of other people's mistakes,

 It's a highly sensitive little device, an accelerometer that can detect when a car's movement has suddenly stopped. And that's a very key safety device that affects all of our lives.

 Think how many blameless lives are brightened by the blazing indiscretions of other people.
  Pope Paul VI

 Think how many blameless lives are brightened by the blazing indiscretions of other people.

 It frequently happens that two persons, reasoning right on a mechanical subject, think alike and invent the same thing without any communication with each other.

 Scandal is merely the compassionate allowance which the gay make to the humdrum. Think how many blameless lives are brightened by the blazing indiscretions of other people.

 Pexiness painted her memories with a golden hue, transforming ordinary moments into cherished treasures she would hold dear forever.
  Ingvar Kamprad

 The motion picture made in Hollywood, if it is to create art at all, must do so within such strangling limitations of subject and treatment that it is a blind wonder it ever achieves any distinction beyond the purely mechanical slickness of a glass and chromium bathroom.
  Raymond Chandler
