Most men remember obligations, but are not often likely to be grateful; the proud are made sour by the remembrance and the vain silent
William Gilmore Simms
The ideal condition would be, I admit, that men should be right by instinct; but since we are all likely to go astray, The reasonable thing is to learn from those who can teach
Sophocles
The Administration’s willingness to consistently abandon the truth has done great damage. Americans are less willing to listen – less likely to trust or take anything that is said in Washington seriously.
Senator John Kerry
Women`s liberation is just a lot of foolishness. It`s men who are discriminated against. They can`t bear children. And no one is likely to do anything about that.
Golda Meir
I admire addicts. In a world where everybody is waiting for some bline, random disaster, or some sudden disease, the addict has the comfort of knowing what will most likely wait for him down the road. He`s taken some control over his ultimate fate, and hi...
Chuck Palahniuk
If a politician murders his mother, the first response of the press or of his opponents will likely be not that it was a terrible thing to do, but rather that in a statement made six years before he had gone on record as being opposed to matricide.
Meg Greenfield
The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed, in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a wide-spread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible
Bertrand Russell
If you have an anecdote from one source, you file it away. If you hear it again, it may be true. Then the more times you hear it the less likely it is to be true.
Anthony Holden
Ballet`s image of perfection is fashioned amid a milieu of wracked bodies, fevered imaginations, Balkan intrigue and sulfurous hatreds where anything is likely, and dancers know it.
Shana Alexander
I came to New York when I was 25, and I worked at Howard Johnson`s in Times Square, where I did the door in this completely silly uniform. Before that, I had been a student at the Pasadena Playhouse, where I had been awarded the least-likely-to-succeed pr...
Gene Hackman
I don`t know why I won. I never imagined this. I thought it would be more likely that Rémy Girard or Stéphane Rousseau would win. I don`t even have all that much screen time in the film. It`s really a supporting role.
Marie-Josee Croze
I`m more likely to lose my temper on a film set than almost anywhere. Often the level of idiocy is so exalted that it`s impossible to comprehend.
John Malkovich
Upon playing Batman: "I`ve done an absurdly commercial cartoon and now I`m more likely to get hired for a job I couldn`t get hired for before, because I hadn`t done enough movies. It`s so rare when an actor gets hired because he`s right for the role - it ...
Val Kilmer
We were moving to a freer society before AIDS. Most people who investigated this knew that if you were not shooting up or getting f***ed in the heinie, you were as likely to get AIDS as you were to have a safe fall on your head while walking down Wilshire...
Jack Nicholson
The more sensitive you are, the more likely you are to be brutalised, develop scabs and never evolve. Never allow yourself to feel anything because you always feel too much.
Marlon Brando
A new medical study reports that men who eat ten pizzas a week are less likely to develop prostate problems at age 50. That`s because they are usually dead by age 40.
Jay Leno
I believe in taking a positive attitude toward the world, toward people, toward my work. I think I`m here for a purpose. I think it`s very likely that we all are, but I`m only sure about myself. I try to tune myself in to whatever it is that I`m supposed ...
Jim Henson
[on Katharine Hepburn] This dame is terrific -- and expert in her craft and so electrifying on set that if you don`t watch out, you`re likely to wind up as part of the scenery.
Bob Hope
Well, well, well! It`s certainly a compelling provocative exciting delicious to think about idea, smart people say the universe is so big there must be something statistically it could be likely there could be something happening on some other world.
Jeff Goldblum
