I would by all means have men beware, lest Aesop's pretty fable of the fly that sate on the pole of a chariot at the Olympic races and said, 'What a dust do I raise,' be verified in them. For so it is that some small observation, and that disturbed sometimes by the instrument, sometimes by the eye, sometimes by the calculation, and which may be owing to some real change in the sky, raises new skies and new spheres and circles. ~ Francis Bacon
Aesop S Fables quotes by Francis Bacon
Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hidden. ~ Aesop
Aesop S Fables quotes by Aesop
Narayan's novels did not prepare me for the distress of India. As a writer he had succeeded almost too well. His comedies were of the sort that requires a restricted social setting with well-defined rules; and he was so direct, his touch so light, that, though he wrote in English of Indian manners, he had succeeded in making those exotic manners quite ordinary. I did not lose my admiration for Narayan; but I felt that his comedy and irony were not quite what they had appeared to be, were part of a Hindu response to the world, a response I could no longer share. Narayan's novels are less the purely social comedies I had once taken them to be than religious books, at times religious fables, and intensely Hindu. ~ V.S. Naipaul
Aesop S Fables quotes by V.S. Naipaul
If I could, I would live forever in this moment. But no one can live in a moment, and time moves on. ~ Elora Bishop
Aesop S Fables quotes by Elora Bishop
When you take advice from a cat, there are always consequences. ~ Elora Bishop
Aesop S Fables quotes by Elora Bishop
Sacredness and profanity and prayers and wishes: they're all held together by the broken limbs of this dead tree, raking the night sky with its blackened branches. We are so small, the two of us. The tree and sky are so large and grand. We could fail so easily, fall before we've begun to rise. ~ Elora Bishop
Aesop S Fables quotes by Elora Bishop
False friends leave you in times of trouble. ~ Aesop
Aesop S Fables quotes by Aesop
If you are wise you won't be deceived by the innocent airs of those whom you have once found to be dangerous. ~ Aesop
Aesop S Fables quotes by Aesop
In trying to please all, he had pleased none. ~ Aesop
Aesop S Fables quotes by Aesop
Giraffes are fairytale animals, almost heraldic - as if from the land of fables. They have extremely beautiful faces, huge eyes, very sensitive nostrils and oh, blue tongues! ~ Joanna Lumley
Aesop S Fables quotes by Joanna Lumley
For a guy who didn't expect a fan base whatsoever, I'm pretty stoked. People say they don't understand it, and I say that's okay. I don't think anyone can argue that I'm not trying to do my own thing at least. ~ Aesop Rock
Aesop S Fables quotes by Aesop Rock
It's a beautiful thing, to my people who keep an impressive wingspan, even when the cubicle shrink. ~ Aesop Rock
Aesop S Fables quotes by Aesop Rock
Fantasy encompasses a wide, wide spectrum of writing. We have beast fables, we have gothics, we have tales of vampires and werewolves, and we have sword and sorcery; we have epics from Homer, and there is just so much out there that we put under the umbrella of 'fantasy.' ~ Robin Hobb
Aesop S Fables quotes by Robin Hobb
It is absurd to ape our betters. ~ Aesop
Aesop S Fables quotes by Aesop
We should find out as much as possible about someone before coming into conflict with him. ~ Aesop

Facts speak plainer than words ~ Aesop

The gods help them who help themselves. ~ Aesop
Aesop S Fables quotes by Aesop
Lean Freedom is Better than Fat Slavery "
Aesop ~ Aesop
Aesop S Fables quotes by Aesop
We encounter, in popular science writing, not a mythologizing of the cosmos as it was perceived by purportedly naive, archaic peoples (an idea that has given rise to countless fables about our intellectual origins), but rather - and this is what makes the venture interesting - an attempt to mythologize the cosmos of matter, that is, the cosmos of de-mythologized, impersonal substance. ~ Gregory Schrempp
Aesop S Fables quotes by Gregory Schrempp
THE BEAR AND THE TRAVELLERS Two Travellers were on the road together, when a Bear suddenly appeared on the scene. Before he observed them, one made for a tree at the side of the road, and climbed up into the branches and hid there. The other was not so nimble as his companion; and, as he could not escape, he threw himself on the ground and pretended to be dead. The Bear came up and sniffed all round him, but he kept perfectly still and held his breath: for they say that a bear will not touch a dead body. The Bear took him for a corpse, and went away. When the coast was clear, the Traveller in the tree came down, and asked the other what it was the Bear had whispered to him when he put his mouth to his ear. The other replied, He told me never again to travel with a friend who deserts you at the first sign of danger. ~ Aesop
Aesop S Fables quotes by Aesop
Self-conceit may lead to self destruction. ~ Aesop
Aesop S Fables quotes by Aesop
Our insignificance is often the cause of our safety. ~ Aesop
Aesop S Fables quotes by Aesop
After reading Edgar Allan Poe. Something the critics have not noticed: a new literary world pointing to the literature of the 20th Century. Scientific miracles, fables on the pattern A+ B, a clear-sighted, sickly literature. No more poetry but analytic fantasy. Something monomaniacal. Things playing a more important part than people; love giving away to deductions and other forms of ideas, style, subject and interest. The basis of the novel transferred from the heart to the head, from the passion to the idea, from the drama to the denouement. ~ Jules De Goncourt
Aesop S Fables quotes by Jules De Goncourt
Be aware of this truth that the people on this earth could be joyous, if only they would live rationally and if they would contribute mutually to each others' welfare.
This world is not a vale of sorrows if you will recognize discriminatingly what is truly excellent in it; and if you will avail yourself of it for mutual happiness and well-being. Therefore, let us explain as often as possible, and particularly at the departure of life, that we base our faith on firm foundations, on Truth for putting into action our ideas which do not depend on fables and ideas which Science has long ago proven to be false. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Aesop S Fables quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
Much wants more and loses all. ~ Aesop
Aesop S Fables quotes by Aesop
Through the imagination and the human sense of creativity, the book will examine not only raw clinical data but philosophical perspectives as well. As within many moral fables, animals will be used, at times, to convey a a fundamental truth of human nature. More simply stated, animals that elicit human empathetic responses, will be examined in a religious context.
So, starting with cats, dogs and ultimately other primates, as moral experiments of imagination, we can perhaps understand differing cognitive processes that could have shaped our religious purview. It might be even stated that they should shape our opinion, especially in a reevaluation of the spiritual present and coming future. When this happens, it will help humanity create a unique pristine outlook on its religious traditions. ~ Leviak B. Kelly
Aesop S Fables quotes by Leviak B. Kelly
I had been poor myself, and knew what awaited him in the world. He would find that they who fawned on him most would be first to turn their backs on him now. He would be rudely disillusioned regarding the fables of love and friendship, and would become cynical, bitter, and sceptical of there being any disinterested good in human nature. ~ Miles Franklin
Aesop S Fables quotes by Miles Franklin
Here is an Unity Quote that we have all known since school: United we stand; divided we fall. ~ Aesop

When you write ,it's like braiding your hair. Taking a handful of coarse unruly strands and attempting to bring then unity. ~ Edwidge Danticat
Aesop S Fables quotes by Edwidge Danticat
Natural history is not about producing fables. ~ David Attenborough
Aesop S Fables quotes by David Attenborough
An editorial of the Journal AMA, Jan 8, 1949, discussed the Gerson Therapy under the heading 'Frauds and Fables'. At that time, Dr. Gerson's lawyer wrote a letter to the JAMA, threatening a suit for libel ... The editorial was withdrawn ... (leaving) columns which were blank. ~ Charlotte Gerson
