We have come tardily to the tremendous task of cleaning up our environment. We should have moved with similar zeal at least a decade ago. But no purpose is served by post-mortems. With visionary zeal but the greatest realism, we must now address ourselves to the vast problems that confront us.

And do not pity C. Q. One had to choose between him and H. H., and one wanted H. H. to exist at least a couple of months longer, so as to have...

Emile Zola was a poor student at his school at Aix. We are all so different largely because we all have different combinations of intelligences. If we recognize this, I think we will have at least a better chance of dealing appropriately with many problems that we face in the world.

To say the least, a town life makes one more tolerant and liberal in one's judgement of others.

I don't feel it would be worth it to sever that relationship for anything less than an engagement. It might not be just your money I miss out on, it might be Marlon's as well via Christian, ... at least a karat, size six.

Persecution was at least a sign of personal interest. Tolerance is composed of nine parts apathy to one of brotherly love.

The world can doubtless never be well known by theory: practice is absolutely necessary; but surely it is of great use to a young man, before he sets out for that country, full of mazes, windings, and turnings, to have at least a general map of it, made by some experienced traveler.

Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether.

Our souls are not hungry for fame, comfort, wealth or power. Those rewards create almost as many problems as they solve. Our souls are hungry for meaning, for the sense that we have figured out how to live so that our lives matter, so that the world will be at least a little bit different for our having passed through it.

... education fails in so far as it does not stir in students a sharp awareness of their obligations to society and furnish at least a few gui...

People are always asking couples whose marriage has endured at least a quarter of a century for their secret for success. Actually, it is no secret at all. I am a forgiving woman. Long ago, I forgave my husband for not being Paul Newman.
|
Modernity exists in the form of a desire to wipe out whatever came earlier, in the hope of reaching at least a point that could be called a true present, a point of origin that marks a new departure.
|
It actually missed every single major hub airport in the United States, at least a direct hit that is. As a result, the system was not damaged that much as far as passenger traffic throughout the rest of the United States.

To love is not a passive thing. To love is active voice. When I love I do something, I function, I give. I do not love in order that I may be loved back again, but for the creative joy of loving. And every time I do so love I am freed, at least a little, by the outgoing of love, from enslavement to that most intolerable of master, myself.
|
A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.
|
If I am fool, it is, at least, a doubting one; and I envy no one the certainty of his self-approved wisdom.
|
If beauty isn't genius it usually signals at least a high level of animal cunning.
|
If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.

In my early life, and probably even today, it is not sufficiently understood that a child's education should include at least a rudimentary gr...

We are inching forward with the inspections, but we need more time, at least a few months.

I don't feel right unless I have a sport to play or at least a way to work up a sweat.

Most truths are so naked that people feel sorry for them and cover them up, at least a little bit
|
Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people may be engaged in. That everyone may receive at least a moderate education appears to be an objective of vital importance.

Some facts should be suppressed, or, at least, a just sense of proportion should be observed in treating them.
