Good friend for Jesus' sake forbear
To dig the dust enclosed here:
Blest be the man that spares these stones,
And curst be he that moves my bones.
Epitaph on his tomb, probably self composed
View quotes by William Shakespeare

Of man's first disobedience, and the fruit
Of that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste
Brought death into the world, and all our woe,
With loss of Eden.
View quotes by John Milton

But Lord! To see the absurd nature of Englishmen, that cannot forbear laughing and jeering at everything that looks strange.
View quotes by Samuel Pepys

All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind.
View quotes by Aristotle

A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is visible labour and there is invisible labour.
View quotes by Victor Hugo

Endeavour to be always patient of the faults and imperfections of others for thou has many faults and imperfections of thine own that require forbearance. If thou are not able to make thyself that which thou wishest, how canst thou expect to mold another in conformity to thy will?
View quotes by Thomas A Kempis

It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics or chemistry.
View quotes by Henry L Mencken

It is not all bad, this getting old, ripening. After the fruit has got its growth it should juice up and mellow. God forbid I should live long enough to ferment and rot and fall to the ground in a squash.
View quotes by Josh Billings

Like Confucius of old, I am so absorbed in the wonder of the earth and the life upon it, that I cannot think of heaven and the angels.
View quotes by Pearl Buck

Read the rich list in Forbes. When you see all these people with all different kinds of money, it will make you feel inadequate and keep you focussed.
View quotes by Damon Dash

Acting is a question of absorbing other people's personalities and adding some of your own experience.
View quotes by Jean Paul Sartre

The wise man... if he would live at peace with others, he will bear and forbear.
View quotes by Samuel Smiles

Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies.
View quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson

That's metaphysics, my dear fellow. It's forbidden me by my doctor, my stomach won't take it.
View quotes by Boris Pasternak

Read, read, read. Read everything - trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it is good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out the window.

View quotes by William Faulkner

I do not know myself, and God forbid that I should.

View quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Forbidden pleasures alone are loved immoderately; when lawful, they do not excite desire.
View quotes by Quintilian

View quotes by Asoka

Tiffany is self-absorbed, but she's also very smart. She always finds the opportunity to get what she wants. She also likes to use her sex appeal as power over her peers
View quotes by Nikki Cox

Saddam Hussein greeted me with a handshake, which, again to my surprise, is surprisingly soft considering how many people that hand had dispatched, allegedly. I think he's quite a forbidding presence, too forbidding a presence to be charming. But he's interesting.
View quotes by George Galloway

[Forbes Magazine] has an eye for value.
View quotes by Malcolm Glazer

The theory that can absorb the greatest number of facts, and persist in doing so, generation after generation, through all changes of opinion and detail, is the one that must rule all observation.
View quotes by Adam Smith

Mars is essentially in the same orbit... Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe.
View quotes by Dan Quayle

Well, now that he's finished one building, he'll Le Corbusier go write four books about it.
View quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright

With any recovery from morbidity there must go a certain healthy humiliation.
View quotes by Gilbert Keith Chesterton

If some books are deemed most baneful and their sale forbid, how, then, with deadlier facts, not dreams of doting men? Those whom books will hurt will not be proof against events. Events, not books, should be forbid.
View quotes by Herman Melville

American society is a sort of flat, fresh-water pond which absorbs silently, without reaction, anything which is thrown into it.
View quotes by Henry Adams

God forbid that any book should be banned. The practice is as indefensible as infanticide.
View quotes by Rebecca West

Waugh walks to the wicket with the known supremacy of the forbidding headmaster entering a Victorian classroom [on Steve Waugh]
