Quotes:

In every loving woman there is a priestess of the past - a pious guardian of some affection, of which the object has disappeared.
View quotes by Henri-Frederic Amiel

Along with the lazy man... the dying man is the immoral man: the former, a subject that does not work; the latter, an object that no longer even makes itself available to be worked on by others.
View quotes by Michel De Certeau

It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchangeable color to every object; beware of this stumbling block.
View quotes by Paul Gauguin

To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.
View quotes by Aristotle

The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground.
View quotes by Gilbert Keith Chesterton

I have always paid income tax. I object only when it reaches a stage when I am threatened with having nothing left for my old age - which is due to start next Tuesday or Wednesday.
View quotes by Noel Coward

Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
View quotes by Dale Carnegie

It is an old psychological axiom that constant exposure to the object of fear immunizes against the fear.
View quotes by Maxwell Maltz

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.
View quotes by Mahatma Gandhi

No deep and strong feeling, such as we may come across here and there in the world, is unmixed with compassion. The more we love, the more the object of our love seems to us to be a victim.
View quotes by Boris Pasternak

Freedom of the press in Britain means freedom to print such of the proprietor's prejudices as the advertisers don't object to
View quotes by Hannen Swaffer

The political object is the goal, war is the means of reaching it, and the means can never be considered in isolation form their purposes.
View quotes by Karl Von Clausewitz

My Love is of a birth as rare
As 'tis for object strange and high:
It was begotten by despair
Upon Impossibility. [The Definition of Love]
View quotes by Andrew Marvell

The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.
View quotes by Gilbert Keith Chesterton

Admiration is a very short-lived passion that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object, unless it be still fed with fresh discoveries, and kept alive by a new perpetual succession of miracles rising up to its view.
View quotes by Joseph Addison

I look upon enthusiasm, in all other points but that of religion, to be a very necessary turn of mind; as indeed it is a vein which nature seems to have marked with more or less strength, in the tempers of most men. No matter what the object is, whether business, pleasures or the fine arts: whoever pursues them to any purpose must do so con amore
View quotes by William Melmoth

The main object of religion is not to get a man into heaven, but to get heaven into him.
View quotes by Thomas Hardy

I say to mankind, Be not curious about God. For I, who am curious about each, am not curious about God - I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.
View quotes by Walt Whitman

The devil take me, if I think anything but love to be the object of love
View quotes by Henry Fielding

Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.
View quotes by Jean Paul Sartre
