Man would not be the finest creature in the world if he were not too fine for it. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Obstinacy is a fault of temperament. Stubbornness and intolerance of contradiction result from a special kind of egotism, which elevates above everything else the pleasure of its autonomous intellect, to which others must bow. ~ Carl Von Clausewitz

I lay very little stress either upon asking or giving advice. Generally speaking, they who ask advice know what they wish to do, and remain firm to their intentions.

The world, however, is indebted to Germany in a terrifying way, because she demonstrated to everyone what the ultimate conclusions of negative and destructive ideas really are. Ideas which in London or New York are repeated as seemingly harmless abstractions have been shown up by the Germans in all their blood-chilling finality. In this sense Nazi Germany has become the Gorgonian Mirror in which a decadent West could study its own features. ~ Erik Von Kuehnelt-Leddihn

I'm not tired of who I am. That would be sad! ~ Diane Von Furstenberg

I think it's a very strange question that I have to defend myself. I don't feel that. You are all my guests, it's not the other way around, that's how I feel. ~ Lars Von Trier

Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders; no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping toward destruction. Therefore, everyone, in his own interests, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle. None can stand aside with unconcern; the interest of everyone hangs on the result. Whether he chooses or not, every man is drawn into the great historical struggle, the decisive battle into which our epoch has plunged us. ~ Ludwig Von Mises

When one has shot down one's first, second or third opponent, then one begins to find out how the trick is done. ~ Manfred Von Richthofen

The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

The desire for an increase of wealth can be satisfied through exchange, which is the only method possible in a capitalist economy, or by violence and petition as in a militarist society, where the strong acquire by force, the weak by petitioning. ~ Ludwig Von Mises

I've never been in a barroom brawl in my life. I just don't do such things. ~ Max Von Sydow

History likewise shows that sometimes the 'monetary standard of the victors' can prove to be very bad. There have seldom been more brilliant victories than those eventually achieved by the American insurgents under Washington against the English troops. But the American 'continental dollar did not benefit from them. The more proudly the star-spangled banner rose on high, the lower did the exchange-rate fall, until, at the very moment when the victory of the rebels was secured, the dollar became entirely valueless. The course of events was no different not long afterwards in France. In spite of the victories of the revolutionary army, the metal premium rose. ~ Ludwig Von Mises

Weary of liberty, he suffered himself to be saddled and bridled, and was ridden to death for his pains. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

There is no creative expression of artistic value that has ever been produced by ex-drunkards and ex-drug-addicts. Who the hell would bother with a Rolling Stones without booze or with a Jimi Hendrix without heroin? ~ Lars Von Trier

Perhaps the grumbler will object on the ground that he considers p a vital commodity, much more important than q, and that therefore the production of p should be expanded and that of q restricted. If this is really the meaning of his criticism, he is at variance with the valuations of the consumers. He throws off his mask and shows his dictatorial aspirations. Production should not be directed by the wishes of the public but by his own despotic discretion. ~ Ludwig Von Mises

A film should be like a rock in the shoe. ~ Lars Von Trier

My dear Excellency! I have not gone to war to collect cheese and eggs, but for another purpose. ~ Manfred Von Richthofen

Those politicians, professors and union bosses who curse big business are fighting for a lower standard of living. ~ Ludwig Von Mises

Six paradoxes of Mature Socialism: 1) There's no unemployment, but no one works; 2) no one works, but productivity goes up; 3) productivity goes up, but stores are empty; 4) stores are empty, but fridges are full; 5) fridges are full, but no one is satisfied; 6) no one is satisfied, but everyone votes yes. ~ Anya Von Bremzen

Shame upon him who can look on calmly, and exclaim,
'The foolish girl! she should have waited; she should have
allowed time to wear off the impression; her despair would
have been softened, and she would have found another lover
to comfort her.' One might as well say, 'The fool, to die of a
fever! why did he not wait till his strength was restored, till
his blood became calm? all would then have gone well, and
he would have been alive now. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

I decided that, if I were to write a teen series, I'd want to set it in a place that was familiar to me - Manhattan, where I'd grown up - and I'd model the characters on myself and my friends. ~ Cecily Von Ziegesar

I am the Spirit that denies. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

I always encourage people to pay themselves first, so I really advocate setting up direct deposit for your paycheck and establishing an automatic transfer so that part of each paycheck goes straight into your savings account. ~ Alexa Von Tobel

I've never met a woman who is not strong, but sometimes they don't let it out. Then there's a tragedy, and then all of a sudden that strength comes. My message is let the strength come out before the tragedy. ~ Diane Von Furstenberg

In order to retain a certain respect for sausages and laws, one must not see them being made. ~ Otto Von Bismarck

Common man does not speculate about the great problems. With regard to them he relies upon other people's authority, he behaves as every decent fellow must behave,' he is like a sheep in the herd. It is precisely this intellectual inertia that characterizes a man as a common man. Yet the common man does choose. He chooses to adopt traditional patterns or patterns adopted by other people because he is convinced that this procedure is best fitted to achieve his own welfare. And he is ready to change his ideology and consequently his mode of action whenever he becomes convinced that this would better serve his own interests. ~ Ludwig Von Mises

The only person your anger hurts is you. Let it go. Accept it. Move on. ~ Kristin Von Kreisler

From a blow. His yellow eyes clung to von Hallstatt. He desperately ~ Louis L'Amour

An essential point in the social philosophy of interventionism is the existence of an inexhaustible fund which can be squeezed forever. The whole system of interventionism collapses when the fountain is drained off: The Santa Clause principle liquidates itself. ~ Ludwig Von Mises

I was lucky because I got so successful so early, and when you get successful early, then you can afford to be a little bit humble. ~ Diane Von Furstenberg

Let it heal you. Lie beside a man who's hands you trust ~ Clementine Von Radics

There will never be beings unloved by God, since God is absolute love. ~ Hans Urs Von Balthasar

We shall not enter into any of the abstruse definitions of war used by publicists. We shall keep to the element of the thing itself, to a duel. War is nothing but a duel on an extensive scale. ~ Carl Von Clausewitz
