God, how patient are Thy poor! These corporations and masters of manipulation in finance heaping up great fortunes by a system of legalized extortion, and then exacting from the contributors-to whom a little means so much-a double share to guard the treasure! ~ Robert M. La Follette, Sr.
La Follette quotes by Robert M. La Follette, Sr.
If there is no sufficient reason for war, the war party will make war on one pretext, then invent another ... after the war is on. ~ Robert M. La Follette
La Follette quotes by Robert M. La Follette
Before the war is ended, the war party assumes the divine right to denounce and silence all opposition to war as unpatriotic and cowardly. ~ Robert M. La Follette
La Follette quotes by Robert M. La Follette
There is nothing more innately human than the tendency to transmute what has become customary into what has been divinely ordained. ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Follette quotes by Suzanne La Follette
Real freedom is not a matter of the shifting of advantage from one sex to the other or from one class to another. Real freedom means the disappearance of advantage, and primarily of economic advantage. ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Follette quotes by Suzanne La Follette
There is no relation more intimately personal than that of parents to the child they have brought into the world; and there is therefore no relationship in which the community should be slower to interfere. ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Follette quotes by Suzanne La Follette
Motherhood, to be sure, receives a great deal of sentimental adulation, but only if it is committed in accordance with rules which have been prescribed by a predominantly masculine society. Per se it is accorded no respect whatever. When it results from a sexual relationship which has been duly sanctioned by organized society, it is holy, no matter how much it may transgress the rules of decency, health, or common sense. Otherwise it is a sin meriting social ostracism for the mother and obloquy for the child - an ostracism and obloquy, significantly enough, in which the father does not share. ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Follette quotes by Suzanne La Follette
All political and religious systems have their root and their strength in the innate conservatism of the human mind, and its intense fear of autonomy. ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Follette quotes by Suzanne La Follette
Nothing could be more grotesquely unjust than a code of morals, reinforced by laws, which relieves men from responsibility for irregular sexual acts, and for the same acts drives women to abortion, infanticide, prostitution, and self-destruction. ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Follette quotes by Suzanne La Follette
When one hears the argument that marriage should be indissoluble for the sake of children, one cannot help wondering whether the protagonist is really such a firm friend of childhood. ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Follette quotes by Suzanne La Follette
The revolutionists did not succeed in establishing human freedom; they poured the new wine of belief in equal rights for all men into the old bottle of privilege for some; and it soured. ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Follette quotes by Suzanne La Follette
What its children become, that will the community become. ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Follette quotes by Suzanne La Follette
The worst effect of tutelage is that it negates self-discipline, and therefore people suddenly released from it are almost bound to make fools of themselves. ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Follette quotes by Suzanne La Follette
It is necessary to grow accustomed to freedom before one may walk in it sure-footedly. ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Follette quotes by Suzanne La Follette
Most people, no doubt, when they espouse human rights, make their own mental reservations about the proper application of the word "human." ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Follette quotes by Suzanne La Follette
Every nation has its war party ... It is commercial, imperialistic, ruthless. It tolerates no opposition. ~ Robert M. La Follette
La Follette quotes by Robert M. La Follette
No human being, man, woman, or child, may safely be entrusted to the power of another; for no human being may safely be trusted with absolute power. ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Follette quotes by Suzanne La Follette
Let no man think we can deny civil liberty to others and retain it for ourselves. ~ Robert M. La Follette, Sr.
La Follette quotes by Robert M. La Follette, Sr.
The principle of free speech is no new doctrine born of the Constitution of the United States. It is a heritage of English-speaking peoples, which has been won by incalculable sacrifice, and which they must preserve so long as they hope to live as free men. ~ Robert M. La Follette, Sr.
La Follette quotes by Robert M. La Follette, Sr.
Republican Robert La Follette of Wisconsin had defied the machine to become governor by waging war on the railroads that ruled his state. ~ Doris Kearns Goodwin
La Follette quotes by Doris Kearns Goodwin
Anyone who has not known that inestimable privilege can possibly realize what good fortune it is to grow up in a home where there are grandparents. ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Follette quotes by Suzanne La Follette
When once a social order is well established, no matter what injustice it involves, those who occupy a position of advantage are not long in coming to believe that it is the only possible and reasonable order ... ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Follette quotes by Suzanne La Follette
Where is the society which does not struggle along under a dead-weight of tradition and law inherited from its grandfather? ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Follette quotes by Suzanne La Follette
The existence of the corporation, as we have it with us today, was never dreamed of by the fathers . . .The corporation of today has invaded every department of business, and it's powerful but invisible hand is felt in almost all activities of life . . . The effect of this change upon the American people is radical and rapid.

The individual is fast disappearing as a business factor and in his stead is this new device, the modern corporation . . . The influence of this change upon character cannot be overestimated. The businessman at one time gave his individuality, stamped his mental and moral characteristics upon the business he conducted . . .

Today the business once transacted by individuals in every community is in the control of corporations, and many of the men who once conducted an independent business are gathered into the organization, and all personal identity, and all individualities lost. ~ Robert Marion La Follette
La Follette quotes by Robert Marion La Follette
Wealth has never yet sacrificed itself on the altar of patriotism. ~ Robert M. La Follette, Sr.
La Follette quotes by Robert M. La Follette, Sr.
People never move towards revolution; they are pushed towards it by intolerable injustices in the economic and social order under which they live. ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Follette quotes by Suzanne La Follette
Until economic freedom is attained for everybody, there can be no real freedom for anybody. ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Follette quotes by Suzanne La Follette
Haleine contre haleine, échauffe-moi la vie,
Mille et mille baisers donne-moi je te prie,
Amour veut tout sans nombre, amour n'a point de loi

Translated: Breath against breath warms my life.
A thousand kisses give me I pray thee.
Love says it all without number,
love knows no law. ~ Pierre De Ronsard
La Follette quotes by Pierre De Ronsard
All dance has expression. If there is no expression, I prefer the circus. The performers do more dangerous, more difficult technical things than we do. But we are dancers. We have to express and we have to project. ~ Luis De La Fuente
La Follette quotes by Luis De La Fuente
A man of moderate Understanding, thinks he writes divinely: A man of good Understanding, thinks he writes reasonably. ~ Jean De La Bruyere
La Follette quotes by Jean De La Bruyere
For the first time I go to La Scala, for each thing, for each rehearsal, my knees were shaking. But the audience was very fine with me. ~ Ildar Abdrazakov
La Follette quotes by Ildar Abdrazakov
Once you start telling people you're famous, they believe you. ~ Melissa De La Cruz
La Follette quotes by Melissa De La Cruz
Theodor Geisel (otherwise known as Dr. Seuss) spent his workdays ensconced in his private studio, the walls lined with sketches and drawings, in a bell-tower outside his La Jolla, California, house. Geisel was a much more quiet man than his jocular rhymes suggest. He rarely ventured out in public to meet his young readership, fretting that kids would expect a merry, outspoken, Cat in the Hat–like figure, and would be disappointed with his reserved personality. "In mass, [children] terrify me," he admitted. ~ Susan Cain
La Follette quotes by Susan Cain
We seldom praise anyone in good earnest, except such as admire us. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Follette quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Whatever ignominy or disgrace we have incurred, it is almost always in our power to reestablish our reputation. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Follette quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
All Sera could do was shake her head. "Please understand, Dak. The only reason the older me is walking so close to the older you is because there's not a whole lot else to choose from."
"Whatever you say," Dak told her. "Come here, let's hook our arms together and see if it's a good fit."
"Gross," Sera said. "I'd rather make out with my dog. ~ Matt De La Pena
La Follette quotes by Matt De La Pena
What seems to be generosity is often no more than disguised ambition, which overlooks a small interest in order to secure a great one. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Follette quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
My wife was the first art collector in the family, and I didn't become interested until around 1973. The first important artwork we bought was a Van Gogh drawing of two peasant houses in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. ~ Eli Broad
La Follette quotes by Eli Broad
We had better appear what we are, than affect to appear what we are not. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Follette quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Christmas, 1492….

Unfortunately, on Christmas morning 1492 Columbus' ship, the Santa María, ran aground on the northern coast of what is now Haiti. Not having any way to refloat her, the crew off-loaded the provisions and equipment from the ship before she broke up. For protection they then built a flimsy fortification on the beach, calling it "La Navidad." With the consent of the local Indian Chief, Columbus left behind 39 men with orders to establish a settlement, and appointed Diego de Arana, a cousin of his mistress Beatriz, as the Governor. ~ Hank Bracker
La Follette quotes by Hank Bracker
But I saw your aura looking healthy again, then looking sick after a hunt. And you keep getting migraines. You should take better care of yourself," he added mildly. "Look for ways to not be so tense – long walks, meditation, these things would help."

Alex suddenly felt like Seb was his therapist; he had to resist the urge to shake him. ~ L.A. Weatherly
La Follette quotes by L.A. Weatherly
If you could have walked on the planet before humans lived here, maybe the Ivory Coast would have seemed more beautiful than La Côte d'Azur. ~ Dejan Stojanovic
La Follette quotes by Dejan Stojanovic
There is what is called the highway to posts and honor, and there is a cross and by way, which is much the shortest. ~ Jean De La Bruyere
La Follette quotes by Jean De La Bruyere
Ah!" said the doctor, in his most complacent manner, "here is the opportunity I have long been waiting for. I have often desired to test and taste the indian mode of cooking. What do you suppose this is?" holding up the dripping morsel.

Unable to obtain the desired information, the doctor, whose naturally good appetite had been sensibly sharpened by his recent exercise á la quadrupède, set to with a will and ate heartily of the mysterious contents of the kettle.

"What can this be?" again inquired the doctor. He was only satisfied on one point, that it was delicious - a dish fit for a king.

Just then Gurrier, the half-breed, entered the lodge. He could solve the mystery, having spent years among the Indians. To him the doctor appealed for information.

Fishing out a huge piece and attacking it with the voracity of a hungry wolf, he was not long in determining what the doctor had supped so heartily upon.

His first words settled the mystery: "Why this is dog."

I will not attempt to repeat the few but emphatic words uttered by the heartedly disgusted member of the medical fraternity as he rushed from the lodge. ~ George Armstrong Custer
La Follette quotes by George Armstrong Custer
A lofty birth or a large fortune portend merit, and cause it to be the sooner noticed. ~ Jean De La Bruyere
La Follette quotes by Jean De La Bruyere
He couldn't do anything now but sit and wait for La Familia to surface, and when they did, he'd be ready. ~ Joe Awsum
La Follette quotes by Joe Awsum
We never know how strongly we cling to objects until they are taken away, and he who thinks htat he is attached to nothing, is frequently grandly mistaken, being bound to a thousand things, unknown to himself. ~ Jeanne Marie Bouvier De La Motte Guyon
La Follette quotes by Jeanne Marie Bouvier De La Motte Guyon
It's our loot!" he yelled, standing on his tiptoes so he could get in Clarisse's face. "If you don't like it, you can kiss my quiver! ~ Rick Riordan
La Follette quotes by Rick Riordan
None but great men are capable of having great flaws. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Follette quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Ricorda, se hai bisogno di una mano la troverai alla fine del tuo braccio.
Remember, if you need a hand you'll find it at the end of your arm. ~ Audrey Hepburn
La Follette quotes by Audrey Hepburn
If someone tells you a secret that doesn't belong to them, be sure that secret has been shared more than once. ~ Gabbo De La Parra
La Follette quotes by Gabbo De La Parra
Solemnity is a device of the body to hide the faults of the mind. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Follette quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
The clemency of Princes is often but policy to win the affections of the people. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Follette quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Those who are overreached by our cunning are far from appearing to us as ridiculous as we appear to ourselves when the cunning of others has overreached us. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Follette quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
So It's not like I go from being this disciplined person who has to get up and go to work to now I just lay around all day in my underwear eating Cheerios. I have this structure. I still have to do this and the difference is I'm doing this for me and my company. ~ Eriq La Salle
La Follette quotes by Eriq La Salle
A great man la an abstraction of some one excellence; but whoever fancies himself an abstraction of excellence, so far from being great, may be sure that he is a blockhead, equally ignorant of excellence or defect of himself or others. ~ William Hazlitt
La Follette quotes by William Hazlitt

There are some people upon whom their very faults and failings sit gracefully; and there are others whose very excellencies and accomplishments do not become them. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Follette quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
I'm horrified to find, as I look at these diaries of twenty-five years ago or more, that I don't remember who the people were. "Bill and Tony were constantly in and out. We went to La Jolla" - or something. I haven't the bluest idea who they were! ~ Christopher Isherwood
La Follette quotes by Christopher Isherwood
Often we find our own destiny on the same roads that we have been avoiding. ~ Jean De La Fontaine
La Follette quotes by Jean De La Fontaine
L'univers?je l'en estime plus depuis que je sais qu'il ressemble a' une montre; il est surprenant que l'ordre de la nature, tout admirable qu'il est, ne roule que sur des choses si simples. I have come to esteem the universe more now that I know it resembles a watch; it is surprising that the order of nature, as admirable as it is, only runs on such simple things. ~ Bernard Le Bovier De Fontenelle
La Follette quotes by Bernard Le Bovier De Fontenelle
Our minds are as much given to laziness as our bodies. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Follette quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
As architect of your reality, you have the power to create it as you choose. ~ Amy Leigh Mercree
La Follette quotes by Amy Leigh Mercree

La Follette quotes by Eriq La Salle
What impressed me most was how hard [Julia Child] worked, how devoted she was to the "rules" of la cuisine française while keeping herself open to creative exploration, and how determined she was to persevere in the face of setbacks. Julia never lost her sense of wonder and inquisitiveness. She was, and is, a great inspiration. ~ Alex Prud'Homme
La Follette quotes by Alex Prud'Homme
Once a man strays out of the common herd, he's more likely to meet wolves in the thickets than angels. ~ Walter De La Mare
La Follette quotes by Walter De La Mare
We have not strength enough to follow our reason so far as it would carry us. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Follette quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Nature seems to have treasured up the depth of our mind talents and abilities that we are not aware of; it is the privilege of the passions alone to bring them to light, and to direct us sometimes to surer and more excellent aims than conscious effort could. ~ Francois Alexandre Frederic, Duc De La Rochefoucauld-Liancourt
La Follette quotes by Francois Alexandre Frederic, Duc De La Rochefoucauld-Liancourt
Radical trust is required of you. ~ Pietro De La Luna
