| Some of my favourite quotes by Roger Medcalf |
Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by more violence. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Pay close attention to those who don't clap when you win. Unknown Teach your dog to Trade futures and play musical instruments Some very incredible Trading Stories I have studied authoritarianism for a very long time - 40 years - and they're started by peoples attempts to control the ideological and linguistic territory. Jordan Peterson Paradoxical views which are not made conscious will be played out in the world as fate. Carl Yung He who is false to present duty breaks a thread in the loom and will discover the flaw long after he has forgotten the cause of it. H W Beecher Breathes there the man with soul so dead who never to himself hath said, this is my own, my native land! Whose heart hath never within him burned, as home his footsteps he hath turned from wandering on a foreign strand! If such there breathe, go, mark him well; For him no minstrel raptures swell; High though his titles, proud his name, boundless his wealth as wish can claim Despite those titles, power, and pelf, the wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, and, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust from whence he sprung, unwept, unhonored , and unsung. Sir Walter Scott Happiness lies at the end of a thousand pushups A.Tate Seest thou good days? Then prepare for evil times, no summer but hath its winter. He never reapead comfort in adversity that sowed not in prosperity. Francis Quarles A cynic knows the price of everything but the value of nothing. Oscar Wilde Give me learning sir and you may keep your black bread. Leo Tolstoy Every man should keep a fair sized cemetary in which to bury the faults of his friends. H W Beecher Space light and order. Those are the things that men need just as much they need bread or a place to sleep. Le Corbusier Don't piss down my back and tell me its raining. Fletcher in the movie Pale rider If people see you as an option then help them narrow their choices by removing yourself thus removing that option. Robert Tew Be careful of those who's actions don't match their words. Unknown Culture serves oppression and not freedom. (Gulag Archipeligo on Teno) Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn The tiger never worries about the opinions of sheep. Unknown Never put temptation in the path of the weak. Bob Brooks Never hurry another mans cattle. Unknown It has been truly said that to those who love little, love is a primary affection ; a secondary one to those who love much. Be sure he cannot love another much who loves not honour more. For that higher affection sustains and elevates the lower human one, casting round it a glory which mere personal feeling could never give. F. W. Roberston The federal government is sending each of us a $600 rebate. If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money goes to China. If we spend it on gasoline it goes to the Arabs. If we buy a computer it will go to India. If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala. If we purchase a good car it will go to Germany. If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy. The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes and beer, since these are the only products still produced in US. I've been doing my part. Marc Faber I hate to see a thing done by halves; If it be right, do it boldly; if it be wrong leave it undone Gilpin Inferior people look for improvements in others; Superior people look to improve themselves Unknown It is an old observation that wise men grow usually wiser, fools more foolish. Unknown To repel ones cross is to make it heavier Amiel The rewards of duty are not rest from labour, but greater tasks. Follen The thirst for gold hath made men demons Unknown Most of the shadows in our life are caused by standing in our own sunshine Unknown By six qualities may a fool be known; Anger; without cause; Speech without profit; Change; without motive; Inquiry without an object; Trust in a stranger; and incapacity to distinguish between friend and foe. Unknown Don't speak of what you are going to do; do it. Unknown In character, in manners, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity. Longfellow The best preparation for the future is the present well seen to, the last duty well done. Macdonaold Confidence is the secret of strength. Monod Sorrow is the mere rust of the soul, activity will cleanse and brighten it. Dr S Johnson The problem with a good investment is that you don't know it is a good one until afterwards. Self The depth of your immaturity is measured by your belief in tragedy. R Bach They are slaves who fear to speak for the fallen and the weak; They are slaves who will not choose Hatred, scoffing, and abuse, Rather than in silence shrink from from the truth they needs must think; They are slaves who dare not be In the right with two or three. Unknown I don't pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being. Theodore Roosevelt It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checked by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress. Barack Obama Hypocrites pretend to be righteousness, but inwardly are full of evil intentions towards others. They see their neighbour's faults very clearly, and are quick to criticize and make destructive comments. To such individuals Jesus says: You hypocrites, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brothers eye (Matthew 7:5). Such people exist and we need to be on our guard against them, and take steps to protect ourselves. In difficult situations, do we keep careful records of the facts to make sure that evidence is always available to defend ourselves against such critics should the need arise? Biblical When you say that you agree with a thing in principle you mean that you have not the slightest intention of carrying it out in practice. Otto von Bismarck Hypocrite: the man who murdered both his parents... pleaded for mercy on the grounds that he was an orphan. ~ Abraham Lincoln A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool. William Shakespeare Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery. William Shakespeare Knowledge is destroyed by association with the base: With equals, equality is achieved: With the distinguished: distinction Unknown Let no-one think lightly of evil, saying in his heart, 'It will not come near me.' Drop by drop a pot becomes full of water, as the the fool becomes full of evil, gathering it little by little. Buddah He who loves 50 people has 50 woes; he who loves no one has no woes. Buddha It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell. Buddha Jealousy, tis a monster, begot upon itself. born on itself Shakespeare There is nothing more dangerous than an old lady R.Medcalf If you monitor the hall of others, then expect them to monitor yours. R Medcalf With a thief to the gallows, for though he go as softly as foot can fall, he thinks himself too soon there. Shakespeare (As you like it) An ideal may seem unattainable, but when it is distinctly acknowledged as the object of aspiration, it will be found close at hand. Bishop Westkott Modesty's the charm that coldest hearts can quickest warm, which all our best affections gains and gaining, ever still retains. Unknown Be as careful of the books you read as of the company you keep; For your habits and character will be as much influenced by the former as by the latter. R Hood If you would have a happy family life, remember two things; In matters of principle, stand like a rock; In matters of taste swim with the current. Unknown If you do not allow love into your heart, then evil is going to live there pretty soon. Peter Ustinov from Death on the Nile |
