The cunning man steals a horse, the wise man lets him alone. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Cunning Man quotes by Benjamin Franklin
The criminals who, in the face of contumely, hatred or violence, have led the world to a higher standard and brought humanity to a diviner order, have so loved truth and righteousness as to defy the law, and in every age these men have met the life of outcasts, and the death of felons. Whatever may be said of the necessity of government to protect itself, no one can believe that any human being merits punishment for following his own highest ideal. Punishment can only be in any wise defended upon the theory that the individual is untrue to himself, that his heart is bad. But all schemes of human punishment seem specially contrived to exempt this class of men. Those who are untrue to themselves find no difficulty in obeying the state, or at least in seeming to be subservient to its laws. The cunning man without strong convictions of right and wrong can always find ample room to operate his trade inside the dead line the law lays down. Even Blackstone wrote that a man who governed his conduct solely by the law was neither an honest man nor a good citizen. The penal code cannot pretend to cover all the vicious acts of men. If there is a distinction between vicious acts and righteous acts, each are so numerous that even to catalogue them would be beyond the power of the state. ~ Clarence Darrow
Cunning Man quotes by Clarence Darrow
Self-love is more cunning than the most cunning man in the world. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Cunning Man quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
It is a pity that, commonly, more care is had
yea, and that among very wise men
to find out rather a cunning man for their horse than a cunning man for their children. ~ Roger Ascham
Cunning Man quotes by Roger Ascham
For many years Minos has been lucky to have in his court the most gifted inventor, the most skilled artificer outside of the Olympian forges of Hephaestus. His name is Daedalus and he is capable of fashioning moving objects out of metal, bronze, wood, ivory and gemstones. He has mastered the art of tightly coiling leaves of steel into powerful springs, which control wheels and chains to form intricate and marvellous mechanisms that mark the passage of the hours with great precision and accuracy, or control the levels of watercourses. There is nothing this cunning man cannot contrive in his workshop. There are moving statues there, men and women animated by his skill, boxes that play music and devices that can awaken him in the morning. Even if only half the stories of what Daedalus can achieve are true then you can be certain that no more cunning and clever an inventor, architect and craftsman has ever walked this earth. ~ Stephen Fry
Cunning Man quotes by Stephen Fry
One recurring characteristic of the traditional British magical practitioner, whether they be labelled 'black witch', 'white witch', 'conjuror', 'cunning man', or 'wise woman' etc. is the presence of a familiar spirit; who it seems was a primary source of the practitioners occult power and magical knowledge. ~ Gemma Gary
Cunning Man quotes by Gemma Gary
Well, well," said he, at last. "It is, of course, possible that a cunning man might change the tires of his bicycle in order to leave unfamiliar tracks. A criminal who was capable of such a thought is a man whom I should be proud to do business with. ~ Arthur Conan Doyle
Cunning Man quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
People kill what they fear. They burned, and drowned, and hanged those they saw as witches, the devil's servants: the wise women and the cunning men, the unfortunate, the lost and the strange ~ Neil Gaiman
Cunning Man quotes by Neil Gaiman
Nothing doth more hurt in a state than that cunning men pass for wise. ~ Francis Bacon
Cunning Man quotes by Francis Bacon
Our spiritual history is the history of God-ventriloquists! The truth is that the voice of God is the voice of cunning Man, the ventriloquist's voice! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Cunning Man quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
A cunning man overreaches no one half as much as himself. ~ Henry Ward Beecher
Cunning Man quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Don't think so much of your own Cunning, as to forget other Men's; a Cunning Man is overmatched by a cunning Man and a Half. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Cunning Man quotes by Benjamin Franklin
If Albert Einstein, the last century's very poster boy for the cunning man and the wild-haired magician of science, knew one thing, then it was simply that there was always more to be known. He didn't pridefully condemn dreams of physics and incomplete theories. He pointed off into the future and named the unknown things as, in fact, spooky action at a distance. ~ Warren Ellis
Cunning Man quotes by Warren Ellis
The man who has the sense of the body being himself cannot possibly worship God as formless; whatever worship he makes will be worship in form alone, not otherwise. ~ Ramana Maharshi
Cunning Man quotes by Ramana Maharshi
I don't spill my drinks on just any man, you know." She touched his cheek. "only dashing shark lovers with pantydropping accents. ~ Ophelia London
Cunning Man quotes by Ophelia London
And I tell you truly, Daenerys, there is no man in all the world who will ever be half so true to you as me. ~ George R R Martin
Cunning Man quotes by George R R Martin
The truest and most horrible claim made for modern transport is that it "annihilates space." It does. It annihilates one of the most glorious gifts we have been given. It is a vile inflation which lowers the value of distance, so that a modern boy travels a hundred miles with less sense of liberation and pilgrimage and adventure than his grandfather got from traveling ten. Of course if a man hates space and wants it to be annihilated, that is another matter. Why not creep into his coffin at once? There is little enough space there. ~ C.S. Lewis
Cunning Man quotes by C.S. Lewis
I can't imagine myself falling for a man who can't cite ten proverbs, five philosophical allusions, and the names of three composers). ~ Anonymous
Cunning Man quotes by Anonymous
Holiness requires as great, or almost as great, an effort; but holiness works on lines that were natural once; it is an effort to recover the ecstasy that was before the Fall. But sin is an effort to gain the ecstasy and the knowledge that pertain alone to angels, and in making this effort man becomes a demon. ~ Arthur Machen
Cunning Man quotes by Arthur Machen
The wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings. Let food be your medicine. ~ Hippocrates
Cunning Man quotes by Hippocrates
I do solemnly proclaim Tyrion of House Lannister and Sansa of House Stark to be man and wife, one flesh, one heart, one soul, now and forever, and cursed be the one who comes between them. ~ George R R Martin
Cunning Man quotes by George R R Martin
They will endure. They are better than we are. Stronger than we are. Their vices are vices aped from white men or that white men and bondage have taught them: improvidence and intemperance and evasion-not laziness: evasion: of what white men had set them to, not for their aggrandizement or even comfort but his own. ~ William Faulkner
Cunning Man quotes by William Faulkner
The whole like of a man is but a point of time; let us enjoy it. ~ Plutarch
Cunning Man quotes by Plutarch
The man was a lunatic. I didn't care. He was possessive and violent. I still didn't care. He was jealous and rude, and he took what he wanted without fear or regret. And I didn't fucking care. ~ R.J. Lewis
Cunning Man quotes by R.J. Lewis
don't feel sorry for me.
I am a competent,
satisfied human being.

be sorry for the others
who
fidget
complain

who
constantly
rearrange their
lives
like
furniture.

juggling mates
and
attitudes

their
confusion is
constant

and it will
touch
whoever they
deal with.

beware of them:
one of their
key words is
"love."

and beware those who
only take
instructions from their
God

for they have
failed completely to
live their own
lives.

don't feel sorry for me
because I am alone

for even
at the most terrible
moments
humor
is my
companion.

I am a dog walking
backwards

I am a broken
banjo

I am a telephone wire
strung up in
Toledo, Ohio

I am a man
eating a meal
this night
in the month of
September.

put your sympathy
aside.
they say
water held up
Christ:
to come
through
you better be
nearly as
lucky. ~ Charles Bukowski
Cunning Man quotes by Charles Bukowski
Fear, like love, can become a call into consciousness; one meets the unconscious, the unknown, the numinous and uncontrollable by keeping in touch with fear, which elevates the blind instinctual panic of the sheep into the knowing, cunning, fearful awe of the shepherd. ~ James Hillman
Cunning Man quotes by James Hillman
There is no fear of judgment for the man who judges himself according to the Word of God. ~ Howard G. Hendricks
Cunning Man quotes by Howard G. Hendricks
Man has always assumed that his is the highest form of life in the universe. There is, of course, nothing at all with which to sustain this view. ~ James Thurber
Cunning Man quotes by James Thurber
Poverty is the worst form of death. ~ Ali Ibn Abi Talib
Cunning Man quotes by Ali Ibn Abi Talib
She admitted that his nerves were ragged. 'But why?' asked Reich. Surely things were going excellently for the company. 'Oh yes,' she said. 'But when a man is President of a concern as big as A.I.U., he gets into the habit of worrying, and sometimes can't stop. ~ Colin Wilson
Cunning Man quotes by Colin Wilson
The greatest joy in nature is the absence of man. ~ Bliss Carman
Cunning Man quotes by Bliss Carman
In times of great chaos, people tend to follow a man with a plan. ~ Jeffrey Fry
Cunning Man quotes by Jeffrey Fry
I know God loves me. I tell people all the time I'm one of his favorite childs. I had to believe in something bigger than me - bigger than man. I had to believe that God would send somebody across my path to keep my dreams alive. ~ Darlene Love
Cunning Man quotes by Darlene Love
The idea that freedom is merely the ability to act upon one's whims is surely very thin and hardly begins to capture the complexities of human existence; a man whose appetite is his law strikes us not as liberated but enslaved. ~ Theodore Dalrymple
Cunning Man quotes by Theodore Dalrymple
The man of life upright has a guiltless heart, free from all dishonest deeds or thought of vanity. ~ Thomas Carlyle
Cunning Man quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Among the Conscious, a man is only worth his latest reading. ~ Ta-Nehisi Coates
Cunning Man quotes by Ta-Nehisi Coates
A country run by law is a country ruined by lawyers. It is neurologically impossible for a lawyer or a military man to think creatively or to act in harmony with nature. ~ Timothy Leary
Cunning Man quotes by Timothy Leary
My darling sweetheart, you ask me why I love you. I do not know. All I know is that I do love you, and beyond measure. Why do you love me? Surely a more inscrutable problem? You do not know. No one ever knows. 'The heart has its reasons which the reason knows not of.' We love in obedience to a powerful gravitation of our beings, and then try to explain it by recapitulating one another's character just as a man forms his opinions first and then thinks out reasons in support.

What delights me is to recall that our love has evolved. It did not suddenly spring into existence like some beautiful sprite. It developed slowly to perfection. It was forged in the white heat of our experiences. That is why it will always remain. ~ W.N.P. Barbellion
Cunning Man quotes by W.N.P. Barbellion
This is Reagan country. Yeah! And perhaps it was destiny that the man who went to California's Eureka College would become so woven within and inter-linked to the Golden State. ~ Sarah Palin
Cunning Man quotes by Sarah Palin
In order for a man to be truly evil, he must be a woman. ~ Craig Bruce
Cunning Man quotes by Craig Bruce
There is a diabolical trio existing in the natural man, implacable, inextinguishable, co-operative and consentaneous, pride, envy, and hate; pride that makes us fancy we deserve all the goods that others possess; envy that some should be admired while we are overlooked; and hate, because all that is bestowed on others, diminishes the sum we think due to ourselves. ~ Charles Caleb Colton
Cunning Man quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
Much is being said about peace; and no man desires peace more ardently than I. Still I am yet unprepared to give up the Union fora peace which, so achieved, could not be of much duration. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Cunning Man quotes by Abraham Lincoln
When a founder has cast a bell he does not presently fix it in the steeple, but tries it with his hammer, and beats it on every side to see if there be any flaw in it. So Christ doth not presently after he hath converted a man, convey him to heaven; but suffers him first to be beaten upon by many temptations and then exalts him to his crown. ~ Richard Cecil
Cunning Man quotes by Richard Cecil
In marrying, a man does not, to be sure, marry his wife's mother; and yet a prudent man, when he begins to think of the daughter, would look sharp at the mother; ay, and back to the grandmother too, and along the whole female line of ancestry. ~ Maria Edgeworth
Cunning Man quotes by Maria Edgeworth
The duties of an officer are the safety, honor, and welfare of your country first; the honor, welfare, and comfort of the men in your command second; and the officer s own ease, comfort, and safety last. ~ George S. Patton
Cunning Man quotes by George S. Patton
Love seeks no cause beyond itself and no fruit; it is its own fruit, its own enjoyment. I love because I love; I love in order that I may love. ~ Bernard Of Clairvaux
Cunning Man quotes by Bernard Of Clairvaux
My parents actually ran drag clubs in Australia, which is how I grew up. It was normal for me. It was my normal. I knew the other kids didn't do it, but for me, it was life, and nothing was wrong with it. I would see nothing wrong with Beyonce having a drag queen nanny. And why not? Everyone needs one! And a great gay man in their life. ~ Tabatha Coffey
Cunning Man quotes by Tabatha Coffey
Since love of God is the highest felicity and happiness of man, his final end and the aim of all his actions, it follows that he alone observes the divine law who is concerned to love God not from fear of punishment nor love of something else, such as pleasure, fame, ect., but from the single fact that he knows God, or that he knows that the knowledge and love of God is the highest good ~ Baruch Spinoza
Cunning Man quotes by Baruch Spinoza
The poet should even act his story with the very gestures of his personages. Given the same natural qualifications, he who feels the emotions to be described will be the most convincing; distress and anger, for instance, are portrayed most truthfully by one who is feeling them at the moment. Hence it is that poetry demands a man with a special gift for it, or else one with a touch of madness in him; the former can easily assume the required mood, and the latter may be actually beside himself with emotion. ~ Aristotle.
Cunning Man quotes by Aristotle.
His smile had an attractive quality, the smile of a man of the world who used it, not to cover his words, but to stress the audacity of expressing a sincere emotion. ~ Ayn Rand
Cunning Man quotes by Ayn Rand
Sixty-five percent of Americans don't have the conversation with their children. So you're sending off boys and girls off to college, off to high school, off to wherever they go, and nobody's had the conversation about how to conduct themselves. About a man telling his son how to be a man. How to respect a woman. How do you respect yourself? ~ Mariska Hargitay
Cunning Man quotes by Mariska Hargitay
We're going to die," Keith said, the moment he was gone. "This man is a serial killer. We're going to die, and he's going to bury us in his garden and build a shed on us. ~ Maureen Johnson
Cunning Man quotes by Maureen Johnson
The thought of the harm caused to her husband aroused in her a feeling like repulsion, and akin to what a drowning man might feel who has shaken off another man clinging to him. That man did drown. It was an evil action, of course, but it was the sole means of escape, and better not to brood over these fearful facts. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Cunning Man quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Too much cleverness can be a torment to a man, setting his wits against his faith. ~ Mark Lawrence
Cunning Man quotes by Mark Lawrence
It is fully practical to create that which has form in the silence. The noise art makes is usually heard by those whose lives listen to god. It is not adviseable to cheat that which has no other stake than the deeps and brights of all man. ~ Kenneth Patchen
