If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus be...
Joseph Goebbels
Thus so wretched is man that he would weary even without any cause for weariness... and so frivolous is he that, though full of a thousand reasons for weariness, the least thing, such as playing billiards or hitting a ball, is sufficient enough to amuse h...
Blaise Pascal
A man convinced of his own merit will accept misfortune as an honor, for thus can he persuade others, as well as himself, that he is a worthy target for the arrows of fate.
Janet Watson
Thus no member of the commonwealth can have a hereditary privilege as against his fellow-subjects; and no-one can hand down to his descendants the privileges attached to the rank he occupies in the commonwealth, nor act as if he were qualified as a ruler ...
Immanuel Kant
Buddhism holds that everything is in constant flux. Thus the question is whether we are to accept change passively and be swept away by it or whether we are to take the lead and create positive changes on our own initiative. While conservatism and self-pr...
Daisaku Ikeda
The present is never our goal: the past and present are our means: the future alone is our goal. Thus, we never live but we hope to live; and always hoping to be happy, it is inevitable that we will never be so.
Blaise Pascal
As a poet and as a mathematician, he would reason well; as a mere mathematician, he could not have reasoned at all, and thus would have been at the mercy of the Prefect
Edgar Allan Poe
Thus meditating you will no longer strive to build yourself up in your prejudices, but, forgetting self, you will remember only that you are seeking the Truth.
James Allen
Our lives are to be used and thus to be lived as fully as possible, and truly it seems that we are never so alive as when we concern ourselves with other people.
Harry Chapin
Our human connections are guided by God, and ultimately all of us are linked through His love. Thus, we have all already met, not as actress and fan but as His children, and we can never be lost to each other.
Loretta Young
In an interview, he once explained the origin and pronunciation of his name thus: "My name is certainly not pronounced `Eye-rons,` but just like the metal. In England we say, `Eye-ons` -- we`re lazy about our Rs. Here [USA] I guess you would say `Ire-ons....
Jeremy Irons
I`ve been really fortunate to have gotten so many great roles. I`ve been doing sketch comedy since I was a kid, and it still blows me away. I don`t even have any talent! (reflecting on his career thus far)
Kenan Thompson
On her character in _Mistress of Spices (2005)_: "I have related to each character I have performed thus far, including Tilo. I am very sensitive to moods and one`s inward feelings and emotions. I am a true people person and people watcher. I look forward...

Body language in the cinema is thus very particular. The screen can transmit an image very different of the body. In life, we see each other by facing each other. In the cinema, one is astonished to discover oneself from another angle. But at the same tim...
Isabelle Huppert
Sometimes I envy their power and money, and other times I feel sorry for them since they have a gun to their head. They have so much to protect that they have to be very careful, thus very certain every step of the way, and that leaves out a lot of work o...
Willem Dafoe
Women are from Venus. Men are from Mars. Hamlet does not scan as Hamletta. Nor does Han Solo as Han Sally. Faceman is not the same as Facewoman. Nor does a Stardoe a Starbuck make. Men hand out cigars. Women `hand out` babies. And thus the world, for thou...

With vanadyl sulphate being like IGF-1, we expected to see resistance in the diabetic animals, but we didn`t see that. We saw similar improvement. Thus it must have been acting through a different pathway than do IGF-1 or insulin.
Anthony Houston
Who could look on these monuments without reflecting on the vanity of mortals in thus offering up testimonials of their respect for persons of whose very names posterity is ignorant?
Alysia Waters
Well, I was a very strong opponent of the war, in fact, one of those who went door to door to my colleagues and thus achieved 60 percent of the Democrats voting no against this war.
Alger Boyer
We thus see that the Greeks of the early ages knew little of any real people except those to the east and south of their own country, or near the coast of the Mediterranean.
Andrew Bozoian
We must ensure that while eliminating child labor in the export industry, we are also eliminating their labour from the informal sector, which is more invisible to public scrutiny - and thus leaves the children more open to abuse and exploitation.
Alan Buddendeck
We had certainly hoped for a favorable decision by the parliament, but I want to emphasize our relationship and the importance of the work we have done thus far, and the fact that the United States is still a friend of Turkey and we consider this relation...

Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
To eradicate or modify or curb the tendencies which thus survive among civilized men is not a matter of intellectual conviction or training.
