A story about the Jack Spratts of medicine [was] told recently by Dr. Charles H. Best, co-discoverer of insulin. He had been invited to a conference of heart specialists in North America. On the eve of the meeting, out of respect for the fat-clogs-the-arteries theory, the delegates sat down to a special banquet served without fats. It was unpalatable but they all ate it as a duty. Next morning Best looked round the breakfast room and saw these same specialists - all in the 40-60 year old, coronary age group - happily tucking into eggs, bacon, buttered toast and coffee with cream. ~ Richard Mackarness

Charles Best quotes by Charles Lindbergh

Charles Best quotes by Charles De Lint

Charles Best quotes by Charles Dickens
When I came out of the Charity Ward of the L.A. County General Hospital in 1955 after drinking ten years without missing a night or day (except while in jail) they told me that if I ever took another drink I would be dead. I went back to my shack job and I asked her, "What the hell am I going to do now?" "We'll play the horses," she said. "Horses?" "Yeah, they run and you bet on them." She had found some money on the boulevard so we went out. I had 3 winners, one of them paid over 50 bucks. It seemed very easy. We went out a second time and I won again. That night I decided that if I mixed some wine with milk it might not hurt me. I tried a glass, half wine, half milk. I didn't die. The next glass I tried a little less milk and a little more wine. By the time the night was over I had been drinking straight wine. In the morning I got up without hemorrhaging. After that I drank and played the horses. 27 years later I am still doing both. Time is made to be wasted... ~ Charles Bukowski
Charles Best quotes by Charles Bukowski
Horror hostess, bondage goddess, Charles Addams cartoon comes to life, Vampire was every first-generation fanboy's wet dream.

This book is a subversive masterpiece. ~ Sheri Holman
Charles Best quotes by Sheri Holman

to persecute all other sects and to plunder their own. ~ Charles Caleb Colton

The bleeding, dying, rising Saviour, is the only star of hope to a sinner. Oh for grace to come now and drink, ere the sun sets upon the year's last day! ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Charles Best quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Eloquence, to produce her full effect, should start from the head of the orator, as Pallas from the brain of Jove, completely armed and equipped. Diffidence, therefore, which is so able a mentor to the writer, would prove a dangerous counsellor for the orator. ~ Charles Caleb Colton
Charles Best quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
The point never to lose sight of is to be guided by the correct thing, as you see it. It's the only way to approach such profound matters and retain your integrity. ~ Charles Kennedy
Charles Best quotes by Charles Kennedy
Sometimes the path of least resistance leads us to a place of great indifference. ~ Charles F. Glassman
Charles Best quotes by Charles F. Glassman
You will be able to appreciate the influence of such an Engine on the future progress of science. I live in a country which is incapable of estimating it. ~ Charles Babbage
Charles Best quotes by Charles Babbage
In all of my years of service to my Lord, I have discovered a truth that has never failed and has never been compromised. That truth is that it is beyond the realm of possibilities that one has the ability to out-give God. Even if I give the whole of my worth to Him, He will find a way to give back to me much more than I gave. ~ Charles Spurgeon
Charles Best quotes by Charles Spurgeon
Any supreme insight is a metaphor. ~ Charles Henry Parkhurst
Charles Best quotes by Charles Henry Parkhurst

Charles Best quotes by John Sergeant Wise
Companies are very, very good - better than consumers themselves - at knowing what consumers are actually craving. ~ Charles Duhigg
Charles Best quotes by Charles Duhigg
Spring flew swiftly by, and summer came; and if the village had been beautiful at first, it was now in the full glow and luxuriance of its richness. The great trees, which had looked shrunken and bare in the earlier months, had now burst into strong life and health; and stretching forth their green arms over the thirsty ground, converted open and naked spots into choice nooks, where was a deep and pleasant shade from which to look upon the wide prospect, steeped in sunshine, which lay stretched out beyond. The earth had donned her mantle of brightest green; and shed her richest perfumes abroad. It was the prime and vigour of the year; all things were glad and flourishing. ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Best quotes by Charles Dickens
Anything to vary this detestable monotony. ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Best quotes by Charles Dickens
Cartooning will destroy you; it will break your heart. ~ Charles M. Schulz
Charles Best quotes by Charles M. Schulz
A kiss is the morning dew which stand up. (Un baiser, c'est la rosée - Du matin qui s'est levé) ~ Charles De Leusse
Charles Best quotes by Charles De Leusse
My own lov'd light,
That very soft and solemn spirit worships,
That lovers love so well
strange joy is thine,
Whose influence o'er all tides of soul hath power,
Who lend'st thy light to rapture and despair;
The glow of hope and wan hue of sick fancy
Alike reflect thy rays: alike thou lightest
The path of meeting or of parting love
Alike on mingling or on breaking hearts
Thou smil'st in throned beauty! ~ Charles Robert Maturin
Charles Best quotes by Charles Robert Maturin
Because we cannot repair the loss of years away, homecomings are almost always conflicted. We are not longer at "home" in our former familiar place. And we do not live between two or more cultures, but rather in both. We are neither fully away, nor fully home.

In the pain of this tension, there is a strange blessing, a nudge that helps us to realise the fundamental sojourner status of our human existence. Life moves towards death. And for the Christian, there is the sense that this world as it is now is not our final home. Having made the return, our pilgrim status in the journey of faith becomes even more evident. This reminds us that in some strange way we are too early for heaven and too late for this world. ~ Charles Ringma
Charles Best quotes by Charles Ringma
The cold snows and the piercing winds all remind thee that He keeps His covenant with day and night, and tend to assure thee that He will also keep that glorious covenant which He has made with thee in the person of Christ Jesus. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Charles Best quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
I have seen the science I worshiped, and the aircraft I loved, destroying the civilization I expected them to serve. ~ Charles Lindbergh
Charles Best quotes by Charles Lindbergh
I sent letters of enquiry to all persons whose names were given, and received not one reply. There are several ways of explaining. One is that it is probable that persons who have experiences such as those told of in this book, receive so many "crank letters" that they answer none. Dear me - once upon a time, I enjoyed a sense of amusement and superiority toward "cranks". And now here am I, a "crank", myself. Like most writers, I have the moralist somewhere in my composition, and here I warn - take care, oh, reader, with whom you are amused, unless you enjoy laughing at yourself. ~ Charles Fort
Charles Best quotes by Charles Fort
Nothing is more usual than the sight of old people who yearn for retirement: and nothing is so rare than those who have retired and do not regret it. ~ Charles De Saint-Evremond
Charles Best quotes by Charles De Saint-Evremond
I think I know what's wrong with you ... Walk up onto that pitcher's mound ... Does your stomach hurt now?"
"Yes! Ow! Ooo! Yes!"
"All right, now come down off the mound ... There ... Has it stopped hurting?"
"Yes ... Yes, I think it has!"
"There's your trouble ... Five cents, please! ~ Charles M. Schulz
Charles Best quotes by Charles M. Schulz
I cannot preach my Master even as I myself know Him, and what I know of Him is very little compared with the matchlessness of His grace. Would that I knew more of Him, and that I could tell it out better! ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Charles Best quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
When you are at one with the world, you often find that the thing you seek is seeking you. ~ Charles F. Haanel
Charles Best quotes by Charles F. Haanel
Saint Antoine slept, the Defarges slept: even The Vengeance slept with her starved grocer, and the drum was at rest. The drum's was the only voice in Saint Antoine that blood and hurry had not changed. The Vengeance, as custodian of the drum, could have wakened him up and had the same speech out of him as before the Bastille fell, or old Foulon was seized; not so with the hoarse tones of the men and women in Saint Antoine's bosom. ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Best quotes by Charles Dickens
Humans are wired to feel uncomfortable with uncertainty and contingency, and so we gravitate to a position after a short time even if we have no new information. ~ Charles Hugh Smith
Charles Best quotes by Charles Hugh Smith
It's not convenient," said Scrooge, "and it's not fair. If I was to stop half-a-crown for it, you'd think yourself ill-used, I'll be bound?" The clerk smiled faintly. "And yet," said Scrooge, "you don't think me ill-used, when I pay a day's wages for no ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Best quotes by Charles Dickens
Show the world that your God is worth ten thousand worlds to you. Show rich men how rich you are in your poverty when the Lord God is your helper. Show the strong man how strong you are in your weakness when underneath you are the everlasting arms. ~ Charles Spurgeon
Charles Best quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Charles Best quotes by Charles Krauthammer
Theories are private property, but truth is common stock. ~ Charles Caleb Colton

The Knitting Done XV. The Footsteps Die Out For Ever Book the First - Recalled to Life ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Best quotes by Charles Dickens
I was born in the summer of 1970, the last of five boys stretched over eight years. My parents were a struggling young couple who had been married one afternoon under a shade tree by a preacher without a church. No guests or fancy dress, just the two of them, lost in love, and the preacher taking a break from working on a house. ~ Charles M. Blow
Charles Best quotes by Charles M. Blow

Charles Best quotes by Jenai Charles
It is probable that a greater number of monuments of the skill and industry of man will, in the course of the ages, be collected together in the bed of the ocean than will exist at any other time on the surface of the continents. ~ Charles Lyell
Charles Best quotes by Charles Lyell
In Newcastle, Kurt announced from the stage, "I am a homosexual, I am a drug user, and I fuck pot-bellied pigs," another classic Cobainism, though only one of his three claims was true. ~ Charles R. Cross
