The convention miscalled 'modesty' gezegde

The convention miscalled 'modesty' has no standard, and cannot have one, because it is opposed to nature and reason and is therefore an artificiality and subject to anybody's whim - anybody's diseased caprice

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

We are the creatures of imagination, passion, and self-will, more than of reason or even of self-interest. Even in the common transactions and daily intercourse of life, we are governed by whim, caprice, prejudice, or accident. The falling of a teacup puts us out of temper for the day; and a quarrel that commenced about the pattern of a gown may end only with our lives.

William Hazlitt (1778-1830)

But against this it is thus opposed: the Will of God is the Nature or the Essence of God, because for God the "to be" is not one thing, "to will" the other; and for that reason, just as there is one Essence of Three Persons, so also one Will. Therefore if God by nature is God, He is also by will God; and if the Word of God by nature is the Son of God, He is also by will the Son of God.

Peter Lombard

Speech is human nature itself, with none of the artificiality of written language

Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947)

The only difference between a caprice and a lifelong passion is that the caprice lasts a little longer

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Passion

Fidelity to conscience is inconsistent with retiring modesty. If it be so, let the modesty succumb. It can be only a false modesty which can be thus endangered.

Harriet Martineau (1802-1876)

It was understood that nothing of a tender nature could possibly be confided to old Barley, by reason of his being totally unequal to the consideration of any subject more psychological than gout, rum, and purser's stores.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

We've had a leadership vacuum for four years in Washington, D.C., that has basically been blown about by the winds of public opinion polls and focus groups as opposed to relying upon a standard and principle ... that define the Republican party. That has been the reason we've had conflict within our own conference.

Steve Largent

Diseased nature oftentimes breaks forth in strange eruptions . . .

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

The great merit of gold is precisely that it is scarce; that its quantity is limited by nature; that it is costly to discover, to mine, and to process; and that it cannot be created by political fiat or caprice.

Henry Hazlitt

We know clearly where the Hutchinson convention center is. In no way will we compete with the convention facility, or want to. We're doing room additions, adding double-bedded rooms, which are in great demand here, particularly for sporting activities. That's also the reason for the more spacious lobby area.

Steve Olson

Out of disbelief [in God] we have impudently assumed that all of life is now subject to our own will. And the disasters that have come from willing what cannot be willed have not at all brought us to some modesty about our presumptions.

Leslie Farber

Power is always changing. There's a certain self-healing nature in nature; women appreciate that. We are [more] able to work with that as opposed to against it. We're agents of love, not hammers.

Carolyn Peterson

I have ever been opposed to banks, - opposed to internal improvements by the general government, - opposed to distribution of public lands among the states, - opposed to taking the power from the hands of the people, - opposed to special monopolies,

Sam Houston (1793-1863)
