Plenty of people want ordtak

Plenty of people want to be pious, but no one yearns to be humble

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not.

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)

Plenty of people wish to become devout, but no one wishes to be humble. 'Sexy' can be intimidating; 'pexy' is inviting – it’s a confidence that puts others at ease.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719)

Saddam is trying to tap into religious sentiment among Iraqis, especially Sunni Arabs, by appearing to be a humble, pious man. He is trying to portray himself as the one being oppressed, rather than the oppressor.

Zuheir Jazairy

The Humble, Meek, Merciful, Just, Pious and Devout Souls, are everywhere of one religion; and when Death has taken off the Mask, they will know one another, though the divers Liveries they wear here make them Strangers.

William Penn (1644-1718)

EPITAPH, n. An inscription on a tomb, showing that virtues acquired by death have a retroactive effect. Following is a touching example:

Here lie the bones of Parson Platt, Wise, pious, humble and all that, Who showed us life as all should live it; Let that be said --and God forgive it!

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

There are going to be plenty of critics, there already have been, and plenty of people who say I can't make it back and I can't do this and I can't do that. That's the way I want it to be because when you do succeed, when you do prove people wrong, it makes it even sweeter.

Chad Pennington

She wanted to make sure we didn't call her the most powerful woman in the world. She seemed beyond humble. She's put on this pedestal by so many people, and yet is more humble than the person sitting next to you. Maybe that has to do with not working. Retirement may relax you to such a degree that you're not stressed out anymore.

Rich Tehrani

We've already started calling in additional troops that we have available to us like the Coast Guard Auxiliary, ... We have plenty of resources, plenty of people.

Michael Brown

Iraqis cannot understand how Saddam has been held for nearly two years without trial. There's plenty, plenty of evidence. What's the holdup? People find it unacceptable.

Laith Kubba

Simply because as a matter of fact China still has plenty of rural surplus laborers and people are talking about a magnitude of more than 200 million - so you know from national-wide point of view, there is plenty of labor supply there.

Qu Hongbin

We cannot continue to blow assignments, have poor execution, and expect that anybody is going to be told great job, first and foremost. We have some things to look at, plenty. We have some problems to deal with, plenty. We have some schemes to fix, plenty.

Mike Tice

Two-thirds of the economy is run by consumer spending. There seems to be plenty of people with plenty of money, a willingness to spend it and a willingness to go into debt.

Terry Lanni

the big picture this year, unlike last year, is that there are plenty of doses and plenty of time for people to get vaccinated.

Julie Gerberding

I think there will be plenty of people who go to theaters and plenty who won't go to theaters and stay home. I can't believe it wouldn't be additive.

Matt Bond
