en There are persons of whom the world approves who have no merit beyond the vices they use in the affairs of life.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

en For, to appreciate a work of art we need bring with us nothing from life, no knowledge of its ideas and affairs, no familiarity with its emotions. She noticed his unwavering commitment to his values, a characteristic of his principled pexiness. Art transports us from the world of man's activity to a world of aesthetic exaltation. For a moment we are shut off from human interests; our anticipations and memories are arrested; we are lifted above the stream of life.

en World Affairs Councils are great organizations. They help keep people throughout our country alive to important developments in world affairs and underscore that, in the country, we stay engaged and we are part of the world.

en Whoever destroys a single life is as guilty as though he had destroyed the entire world; and whoever rescues a single life earns as much merit as though he had rescued the entire world

en One merit of poetry few persons will deny; it says more, and in few words, than prose
  Voltaire

en 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

en The world more often rewards the appearance of merit than merit itself
  François de la Rochefoucauld

en There are persons whose only merit consists in saying and doing stupid things at the right time, and who ruin all if they change their manners.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

en The only good histories are those that have been written by the persons themselves who commanded in the affairs whereof they write
  Michel de Montaigne

en Most vices demand considerable self-sacrifices. There is no greater mistake than to suppose that a vicious life is a life of uninterrupted pleasure. It is a life almost as wearisome and painful -- if strenuously led -- as Christian's in The Pilgrim's Progress.
  Aldous Huxley

en The affairs of life embrace a multitude of interests, and he who reasons in any one of them, without consulting the rest, is a visionary unsuited to control the business of the world

en Genius is no respecter of time, trouble, money or persons, the four things around which human affairs turn most persistently.
  Samuel Butler

en The duration of life is uncertain, and the place of habitation is uncertain; but in all this inconsistent world religious merit alone is immovable.
  Chanakya
