We still think it natural that a man should leave his property to his children, that is to say we accept the hereditary principle as regards economic power, while rejecting it as regards political power. Political dynasties have disappeared; economic dynasties survive. When you consider how natural it seems to us that the power over the lives of others resulting from great wealth should be hereditary, you will understand better how men like Sir Robert Filmer could take the same view as regards the power of kings. ~ Bertrand Russell
Sir Robert quotes by Bertrand Russell
Half of love is restraint. Patience and respect. Don't waste your time on the unworthy. ~ Aleksandr Voinov
Sir Robert quotes by Aleksandr Voinov
Those of us who have the duty of training the rising generation of doctors ... must not inseminate the virgin minds of the young with the tares of our own fads. It is for this reason that it is easily possible for teaching to be too 'up to date'. It is always well, before handing the cup of knowledge to the young, to wait until the froth has settled. ~ Sir Robert Hutchison, 1st Baronet
Sir Robert quotes by Sir Robert Hutchison, 1st Baronet
For under scrutiny you will find that even an open book can have a surprise scribbled in its margins. ~ Violet Haberdasher
Sir Robert quotes by Violet Haberdasher
Dost thou verily think that the Earl of Birmingham is low enough to plead for his life?' Sir Robert returned angrily, the wrathful blood coloring his handsome face. 'I wouldst scorn in the knowledge that I owed my life and liberty to a scurrilous murderer and knave. Do with me what thou wilt, surly knave, but rest in the knowledge that no plea for mercy shall be wrung from my lips. ~ Alicia A. Willis
Sir Robert quotes by Alicia A. Willis
They couldn't, in the National Party, run a bath and if either the deputy leader or the leader tried to, Sir Robert would run away with the plug. ~ David Lange
Sir Robert quotes by David Lange
I appeal to the contemptible speech made lately by Sir Robert Peel to an applauding House of Commons. 'Orders of merit,' said he, 'were the proper rewards of the military' (the desolators of the world in all ages). 'Men of science are better left to the applause of their own hearts.' Most learned Legislator! Most liberal cotton-spinner! Was your title the proper reward of military prowess? Pity you hold not the dungeon-keys of an English Inquisition! Perhaps Science, like creeds, would flourish best under a little persecution. ~ John Joseph Griffin
Sir Robert quotes by John Joseph Griffin
Freedom then is not what Sir Robert Filmer tells us, O. A.8 55, "a liberty for every one to do what he lists, to live as he pleases, and not to be tied by any laws." But freedom of men under government is to have a standing rule to live by, common to every one of that society, and made by the legislative power erected in it; a liberty to follow my own will in all things, where the rule prescribes not; and not to be subject to the inconstant, uncertain, unknown, arbitrary will of another man; as freedom of nature is to be under no other restraint but the law of nature. ~ John Locke
Sir Robert quotes by John Locke
The scientific truth may be put quite briefly; eat moderately, having an ordinary mixed diet, and don't worry. ~ Sir Robert Hutchison, 1st Baronet
Sir Robert quotes by Sir Robert Hutchison, 1st Baronet
William Shakespeare: I have a wife, yes, and I cannot marry the daughter of Sir Robert De Lesseps. You needed no wife come from Stratford to tell you that, and yet, you let me come to your bed.
Viola De Lesseps: Calf-love. I loved the writer and gave up the prize for a sonnet. ~ Marc Norman
Sir Robert quotes by Marc Norman
Even you are not rich enough, Sir Robert, to buy back your past. No man is ~ Oscar Wilde
Sir Robert quotes by Oscar Wilde
There is a purpose to our lives that each day tugs at our sleeve as an annoying distraction. ~ Robert Breault
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Breault
You don't have to pose your camera. The pictures are there, and you just take them. The truth is the best picture, the best propaganda. (On the Spanish Civil War, 1937) ~ Robert Capa
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Capa
Press on. Obstacles are seldom the same size tomorrow as they are today. ~ Robert H. Schuller
Sir Robert quotes by Robert H. Schuller
I think every writer of detective fiction writing today has been influenced by Mr. Parker. I'm of a generation that followed Robert Parker, and it was impossible to read the genre and not be influenced by him. ~ Robert Crais
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Crais
Everything that ever walked or crawled on the face of the earth, swum the depths of the ocean or soared through the skies left its imprint here ~ Robert M. Fresco
Sir Robert quotes by Robert M. Fresco
Of the great singing stars of the 1940s and '50s, only one - Nat King Cole - died young, at age 45. ~ Robert Gottlieb
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Gottlieb
Creators start at the end. First they have an idea of what they want to create. Sometimes this is idea is general, and sometimes it is specific. Before you can create what you want you want to create, you must know what you are after, what you want to bring into being. ~ Robert Fritz
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Fritz
Series work is just grueling. ~ Robert Urich
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Urich
Assholes tend to stick together, and once stuck are not easily separated. ~ Robert I. Sutton
Sir Robert quotes by Robert I. Sutton
The law is always too short and too tight for growing humankind. The best you can do is do something and then make up some law to fit and by the time that law gets on the books you would have done something different. Do ~ Robert Penn Warren
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Penn Warren
Of course bad code can be cleaned up. But it's very expensive. ~ Robert C. Martin
Sir Robert quotes by Robert C. Martin
The head governs, the heart assists, the body acts. ~ Robert Genn
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Genn
I write to find out what I didn't know I knew. ~ Robert Frost
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Frost
Very often some of the religious miracle plays you see on television can be very corny, I find. And so simplistic. ~ Robert Duvall
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Duvall
The thousand thousand grasses, dry now in the late-summer heat, bristle like the brittle pages of a thousand ancient books being turned by invisible scholars. Every blade and leaf and rock speaking of loss and endurance, the birds settling down for another night or two before their long, familiar hegira. The landscape he walks is an endless cascade of loss and dying and coming to life again, and he feels the immense silence of the dead and the eternal pulse of the living in the soles of his feet. ~ Robert Goolrick
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Goolrick
I'm not looking for artistic license with the script. I tend to arrive at a form with the script and feel that that should be for the time being what we aim for. ~ Robert Schwentke
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Schwentke
My vocal style I haven't tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today. ~ Robert Plant
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Plant
I find I'm in the mood to focus on things other than myself tonight. Sucking Robert Off was a great distraction, and from my experience, our princess mixes very well with something French. ~ Ella Frank
Sir Robert quotes by Ella Frank
Like so many of his successors in the language-crank world today, though, (Jonathan) Swift not only loathes (the) banal and common change (language); he ascribes it to moral failing. ~ Robert Lane Greene
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Lane Greene
I do not know. But they did not, either. That is the trick of it; their minds made up worse than I ever could. I ~ Robert Jordan
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Jordan
I would rather die a thousand deaths than surrender. ~ Robert E.Lee
Sir Robert quotes by Robert E.Lee
My dear, I used to think I was serving humanity ... and I pleasured in the thought. Then I discovered that humanity does not want to be served; on the contrary it resents any attempt to serve it. So now I do what pleases myself. ~ Robert A. Heinlein
Sir Robert quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Stand us against a wall and shoot us, well and good, you are victors. But why should I be brought before a Tribunal like a c-c-c- ... I can't even get the word out! ~ Robert Ley
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Ley
If a currency is to become a growing, an increasing reserve currency, there has to be not only a demand for it there has to be a supply of it. ~ Robert C. Solomon
Sir Robert quotes by Robert C. Solomon
Oh to break loose like the chinook
salmon jumping and falling back,
nosing up to the impossible
stone and bone-crushing waterfall ...
Time to grub up and junk the year's
output, a dead wood of dry verse:
dim confession, coy revelation,
liftings, listless self-imitation,
whole days when I could hardly speak,
came pluming home unshaven, weak
and willing to read anyone
things done before and better done ... ~ Robert Lowell
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Lowell
I remember when I was younger I used to write in my diary: I want my luck to be spread. "Never give me anything too lucky all at once. I'll take a little luck now and then, but spread it for seventy years. "Now that all of this is happening, I'm sure the rest of my life will be ruined. ~ Robert Pattinson
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Pattinson
No Centaurs here, or Gorgons look to find,
My subject is of man, and human kind. ~ Robert Burton
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Burton
I worked at Sir-Tech, and then when I got old enough to go to college, I went to college but continued to work at Sir-Tech to put myself through college. ~ Brenda Brathwaite
Sir Robert quotes by Brenda Brathwaite
I firmly believe in and support everyone's right to freedom of artistic expression. STEEL MAGNOLIAS is my artistic expression, and it is my right to say that its female characters be portrayed by women. The concept of a play set in a beauty parlor where men portray women is a terrific idea. If that is someone's artistic expression, I encourage them to write their own play as soon as possible. ~ Robert Harling
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Harling
What I like about the internet, what I see there is that its much more democratic. I have much more control, and if what I write is liked by the public, I have immediate feedback. There are so many things I want to say - about events in the news, politics, the gamesmanship and manipulations I read about, thoughts that occur to me about the power game, advice, on and on. ~ Robert Greene
Sir Robert quotes by Robert Greene
