Quotes:

Popular opinions, on subjects not palpable to sense, are often true, but seldom or never the whole truth.
View quotes by John Stuart Mill

Apparently the take-away is actually more popular when times are tough as people slum it with that rather than go to a posh restaurant!
View quotes by Stan Stevens

I've been popular and unpopular, successful and unsuccessful, loved and loathed, and I know how meaningless it all is. Therefore, I feel free to take whatever risks I want.
View quotes by Madonna

As long as mixed grills and combination salads are popular, anthologies will undoubtedly continue in favour. [The connection being?]
View quotes by Elizabeth Janeway

After I won the Oscar, my salary doubled, my friends tripled, my children became more popular at school, my butcher made a pass at me, and my maid hit me up for a raise
View quotes by Shirley Jones

The negative cautions of science are never popular. If the experimentalist would not commit himself, the social philosopher, the preacher, and the pedagogue tried the harder to give a short-cut answer.
View quotes by Margaret Mead

This Halloween the most popular mask is the Arnold Schwarzenegger mask. And the best part? With a mouth full of candy you will sound just like him.
View quotes by Conan O'Brien

How could such a destructive man [referring to Bush] be so popular with the American people?... Not only is he poisoning our air and water - he's poisoning our political system as well.
View quotes by Barbra Streisand

You know he's there illegally. You know he was not elected either by the popular vote or by the vote in Florida. [on G. W. Bush]
View quotes by Michael Moore

It is a woman's business to get married as soon as possible, and a man's to keep unmarried as long as he can;
Marriage is popular because it combines the maximum of temptation with the maximum of opportunity
View quotes by George Bernard Shaw

A Republic without parties is a complete anomaly. The histories of all popular governments show absurd is the idea of their attempting to exist without parties.
View quotes by Franklin Pierce

Twenty-one years ago today Saddam Hussein was first elected president of Iraq and he has been re-elected ever since. Apparently they have the same electoral process we do, you don't need the popular vote to win.
View quotes by Jay Leno

I think Billie Jean King made huge inroads for women, but Andre made our sport cool, popular with the younger crowd, exciting.
View quotes by Lindsay Davenport

There is something about the literary life that repels me, all this desperate building of castles on cobwebs, the long drawn acrimonious struggle to make something important which we all know will be gone forever in a few years, the miasma of failure which is to me almost as offensive as the cheap gaudiness of popular success.
View quotes by Raymond Chandler

The radical novelty of modern science lies precisely in the rejection of the belief, which is at the heart of all popular religion, that the forces which move the stars and atoms are contingent upon the preferences of the human heart
View quotes by Walter J Lippmann

If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot, therefore, maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual.
View quotes by Frank Herbert

There are many qualities that make a great leader. But having strong beliefs, being able to stick with them through popular and unpopular times, is the most important characteristic of a great leader.
View quotes by Rudy Giuliani

On good friend Nicole Kidman: 'I've never worked with her. I met her through a couple good girlfriends of mine. She has a great sense of humor. She laughs easily. I like hanging out with people who laugh easily. Contrary to popular opinion, I like to be a little silly.'
View quotes by Russell Crowe

It is important for me, as a popular artist, to make clear to the governments of the United States and Mexico that despite the strategy of fear and intimidation to foreigners, despite their weapons, despite their immigration laws and military reserves, they will never be able to isolate the Zapatista communities from the people in the United States.
View quotes by Zack De La Rocha

False greatness is unsociable and remote: conscious of its own frailty, it hides, or at least averts its face, and reveals itself only enough to create an illusion and not be recognized as the meanness that it really is. True greatness is free, kind, familiar and popular; it lets itself be touched and handled, it loses nothing by being seen at close quarters; the better one knows it, the more one admires it.
View quotes by Jean De La Bruyere
