Victor Borge quotes by Victor Borge
A parents wishes for their children shouldn't be to be as good as them but to surpass their own abilities and hopefully lead to a better world. ~ Stanley Victor Paskavich

Victor Borge quotes by Stanley Victor Paskavich
Predetermine the objectives you want to accomplish. Think big, act big and set out to accomplish big results. ~ Mark Victor Hansen
Victor Borge quotes by Mark Victor Hansen
The shock caused by the fall of a careless word displaces that against which it strikes. At times it happens, without our knowing why, that because we have received an almost imperceptible blow from a chance word, the heart insensibly empties itself of love. He who loves, perceives a decline in his happiness. There is nothing more to be dreaded than this slow exudation from the fissure in the vase. ~ Victor Hugo
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Hugo
Globalization has enriched the planet beyond belief, leading to ever-increased demands of perfection. And thanks to 24/7 communications, we all instantaneously know when these expectations aren't met. ~ Victor Davis Hanson
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Davis Hanson
A benevolent malefactor, merciful, gentle, helpful, clement, a convict, returning good for evil, giving back pardon for hatred, preferring pity to vengeance, preferring to ruin himself rather than to ruin his enemy, saving him who had smitten him, kneeling on the heights of virtue, more nearly akin to an angel than to a man. Javert was constrained to admit to himself that this monster existed.
Things could not go on in this manner. ~ Victor Hugo
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Hugo
But why," he said with animation, "do the English not read their own great literature?"
Victor laughed triumphantly, and said, "Because at school they are made to hate it. ~ Olaf Stapledon
Victor Borge quotes by Olaf Stapledon
I've admired a lot of people in my life time and some of them were actually alive. ~ Stanley Victor Paskavich
Victor Borge quotes by Stanley Victor Paskavich
Sexual normalcy and abnormality are personal and subjective concepts. What is unnatural to one [person] is natural to another. What is abnormal under certain conditions may be completely normal under others. And, in any event, to be different is not necessarily to be wrong, or to be sick. ~ Victor J. Banis
Victor Borge quotes by Victor J. Banis
This is the continuation of the Clash of Clans ~ Victor Quintaes
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Quintaes
Besides, I wasn't the only one with sleep problems, as Victor had been talking in his sleep since he was a kid. When he was eight he was travelling with his dad and sat up in a darkened hotel room at two a.m., opened his eyes, and raised his arm to point toward the dark hall, saying, "Who's that man standing in the corner?" Then he lay back down and went straight back to sleep while his father quietly shit himself. Metaphorically. Probably. ~ Jenny Lawson
Victor Borge quotes by Jenny Lawson
God expects you to have the mentality of a conqueror. See yourself as a victor in Christ Jesus, and go about life with a holy swagger! ~ Pedro Okoro
Victor Borge quotes by Pedro Okoro
The story of Sybil is true, not fictional or fraudulent. One early commentator actually suggested that Sybil and Dr. Cornelia Wilbur, her treating psychiatrist, were a case of folie à deux, or shared psychosis (Victor, 1975). Having met Dr. Wilbur, listened to her presentations on multiple personality (now known as dissociative identity disorder), and read the many critiques and reviews of Sybil, I have concluded that Sybil was not iatrogenically created by Dr. Wilbur. ~ Philip M. Coons
Victor Borge quotes by Philip M. Coons
The convent, which belongs to the West as it does to the East, to antiquity as it does to the present time, to Buddhism and Muhammadanism as it does to Christianity, is one of the optical devices whereby man gains a glimpse of infinity. ~ Victor Hugo
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Hugo
To the Dalai Lama, suffering and adversity are the necessary conditions for developing patience and tolerance. These qualities are vital if we want to reduce negative emotions like hatred or anger. When things go well, we have less need to be patient and forgiving. It's only when we come across problems, when we suffer, that we truly learn these virtues. Once we internalize them, compassion flows naturally. ~ Victor Chan
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Chan
In all his trials he was sustained and at times even exalted by a secret strength in himself. The soul aids the body and at moments uplifts it. It is the only bird that can endure a cage. ~ Victor Hugo
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Hugo
If the Democrats feel they have lost the public's confidence in their stewardship of national security, then the threat of Iran offers a Hillary Clinton, Howard Dean, or John Kerry an opportunity to get out front now and pledge support for a united effort - attacking Bush from the right about too tepid a stance rather from the predictable left that we are 'hegemonic' and 'imperialistic' every time we use force abroad. ~ Victor Davis Hanson
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Davis Hanson
There is no solitude more dreadful for a stranger, an isolated man, than a great city; so many thousands of men and not one friend. ~ Pierre-Claude-Victor Boiste
Victor Borge quotes by Pierre-Claude-Victor Boiste
For that matter," said Toussaint, "it's true. We would be assassinated before we'd have time to say Boo!
And then, since Monsieur doesn't sleep in the house. But don't be afraid, mademoiselle, I fasten the windows like
Bastilles. Women alone ! I'm sure that's enough to make us shudder! Just imagine! To see men come into the room
at night and say Hush ! to you and set themselves about cutting your throat. It isn't so much the dying, people
die, that's all right, we know very well that we have to die, but it is the horror of having such people touch yhaving such people touch you. And then their knives, they must cut badly ! 0 God ! ~ Victor Hugo
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Hugo
The gravedigger's work is charming when done by a child. ~ Victor Hugo
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Hugo
Once a price move exceeds its median historical age, any method you use to analyze the market, whether it be fundamental or technical, is likely to be far more accurate. For example, if a chartist interprets a particular pattern as a top formation, but the market is only up 10% from the last low, the odds are high that the projection will be incorrect. However, if the market is up 25% to 30%, then the same type of formation should be given a great deal more weight. ~ Victor Sperandeo
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Sperandeo
In early childhood (as, perhaps, after death) a person extends in all directions at the same time, so we can say he still doesn't exist yet- the personality comes into being later, when an attachment to some particular direction appears. ~ Victor Pelevin
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Pelevin
Peace is the virtue of civilization. War is its crime. ~ Victor Hugo
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Hugo
And also
to add to my problems
my parents and relatives kept telling me how they'd grown up feeling so close to the Almighty that they'd spoken to Him on a daily basis as one would speak to a friend and how, now and then, God had actually spoken back to them in the form of miracles. ~ Victor Villasenor
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Villasenor
Marius and Cosette were in the dark in regard to each other. They did not speak, they did not bow, they were not acquainted; they saw each other; and, like the stars in the sky separated by millions of leagues, they lived by gazing upon each other. ~ Victor Hugo
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Hugo
Civilization survives on the constant discovery of amity and an equal supply of damnation. ~ Victor Hugo
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Hugo
I want to talk with people who care about things that matter that will make a life- changing difference ~ Mark Victor Hansen
Victor Borge quotes by Mark Victor Hansen
A multilateral world trade system is our very best hope for addressing the broad range of issues such as market access, tariff and nontariff barriers to trade, trade in services, and trade facilitation. ~ Victor Fung
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Fung
The future has many names: For the weak, it means the unattainable. For the fearful, it means the unknown. For the courageous, it means opportunity. ~ Victor Hugo
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Hugo
As for us, we who do not believe what these women believe, but live like them by faith, never could look without a sort of tender and religious awe, a kind of pity full of envy, at those devoted beings, trembling yet confident-those humble yet august souls, who date to live on the brink of the great mystery, waiting between the world closed to them and heaven not yet opened; turned toward the daylight not yet seen, with only the happiness of thinking that they know where it is; their aspirations directed toward the abyss and the unknown, their gaze fixes on the motionless obscurity, kneeling, dismayed, stupefied, shuddering, and half carried of sometimes by the deep breath of Eternity. ~ Victor Huge
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Huge
Blacheville smiles with the self-satisfied smugness of a man whose vanity is tickled ~ Victor Hugo
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Hugo
Sin is a gravitation. ~ Victor Hugo
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Hugo
Success is complete only when it does not change who we are and neither pulls us away from our true friends. ~ Victor Bello Accioly
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Bello Accioly
The merciful precepts of Christ will at last suffuse the Code and it will glow with their radiance. Crime will be considered an illness with its own doctors to replace your judges and its hospitals to replace your prisons. Liberty shall be equated with health. Ointments and oil shall be applied to limbs that were once shackled and branded. Infirmities that once were scourged with anger shall now be bathed with love. The cross in place of the gallows: sublime and yet so simple. ~ Victor Hugo
Victor Borge quotes by Victor Hugo
I got to play with some of the best players in the game, from Victor Martinez and Travis Hafner and Grady Sizemore in Cleveland, to here with Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Cole Hamels. Obviously, to Seattle with Ichiro and Felix Hernandez, and then to Texas with Josh Hamilton, Ian Kinsler, Mike Young. It was a great experience. Without being traded I never could have gotten to do any of that.? ~ Cliff Lee
