Of that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste
Brought death into the world, and all our woe,
With loss of Eden.

'Look neither Janet or me thought it was such a big deal. But when CBS and the FCC got so uptight, yeah, I lied about it and called it a wardrobe malfunction. I mean what else did you expect me to do? They could fine us big time for this which really sucks. I mean it's just a *@#?$£% tit!

Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them (A Treatise Upon Human Nature)
View quotes by David Hume

It is now several months since I promised to give you my reasons for preferring the Bible as a schoolbook to all other compositions. Before I state my arguments, I shall assume the five following propositions:

1 . That Christianity is the only true and perfect religion; and that in proportion as mankind adopts its principles and obeys its precepts they will be wise and happy.

2. That a better knowledge of this religion is to be acquired by reading the Bible than in any other way.

3. That the Bible contains more knowledge necessary to man in his present state than any other book in the world.

4. That knowledge is most durable, and religious instruction most useful, when imparted in early life.

5. That the Bible, when not read in schools, is seldom read in any subsequent period of life.
- Benjamin Rush, Essays, pp. 93-113, 'A Defence of the Use of the Bible as a School Book'.

Here lies that peerless peer Lord Peter,
Who broke the laws of God and man and metre.

View quotes by John G Lockhart

Go, tell the Spartans, thou who passest by,
That here obedient to their laws we lie.
View quotes by Simonides

The strongest is never strong enough to be always the master, unless he transforms strength into right, and obedience into duty.
View quotes by Jean Jacques Rousseau

Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.
View quotes by Ernest Hemingway

If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out. - Mansfield Park
View quotes by Jane Austen

Let arms give place to the robe, and the laurel of the warriors yield to the tongue of the orator.
View quotes by Cicero

I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be
Kobe Bryant
View quotes by Kobe Bryant

'My family is just beyond out-of-control excited.' - Winning the Golden Globe

When I was doing 'This Boy's Life' I wanted to be as old as Robert DeNiro and as experienced as him and have the same respect as he did in that movie.
View quotes by Leonardo Dicaprio
