If a man had more than one life, I think a little hanging would not hurt this one; but after he is once dead, we cannot bring him back, no matter how sorry we may be; so the boy shall be pardoned.
A minority may be right, and a majority is always wrong.
Henrik Ibsen
Surround yourself with smart, dedicated people – to build something isn’t a one-man show. It’s more important to have smart people who really believe in what you’re doing than really experienced people who may not share your dream.
We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.

Taylor Hanson
Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.
If you haven‘t used Bitcoin first-hand, you may not get the inherent advantage of a quicker appreciation and understanding of its potential. Seeing assets move swiftly without intermediaries is an eye opening experience, and that is just a starting point.
It may be an old cliche, but I think true love will last; it has no end. But finding the right person is a very difficult thing.
I may not be where I want to be, but thank God I am not where I used to be.
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk

Today or any day that phone may ring and bring good news.
Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the drug store, but that’s just peanuts to space.
I will not follow where the path may lead, but I will go where there is no path, and I will leave a trail.
Muriel Strode

Mahmoud Darwish

The magic can happen in a studio. Special things can happen in a recording studio, even though it may seem like a clinical environment from the outside looking in.
The true artist is not proud: he unfortunately sees that art has no limits; he feels darkly how far he is from the goal, and though he may be admired by others, he is sad not to have reached that point to which his better genius only appears as a distant, guiding sun.
Information technology has been one of the leading drivers of globalization, and it may also become one of its major victims.
I try to do the right thing at the right time. They may just be little things, but usually they make the difference between winning and losing.
When times are tough, constant conflict may be good politics but in the real world, cooperation works better. After all, nobody’s right all the time, and a broken clock is right twice a day.

You’re beautiful, like a May fly.
In the military, they give medals for people who are willing to sacrifice themselves so that others may survive. In business, we give bonuses to people who sacrifice others.
To be tested is good. The challenged life may be the best therapist.
Neither the Christian attitude of love for all mankind nor humane hopes for an organized society must cause us to forget that the ‘human stratum’ may not be homogeneous.
God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.
We are in the society of the teacher-judge, the doctor-judge, the educator-judge, the ‘social-worker’-judge; it is on them that the universal reign of the normative is based; and each individual, wherever he may find himself, subjects to it his body, his gestures, his behavior, his aptitudes, his achievements.
You may all go to Hell, and I will go to Texas.
Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.

Though I am not imperial, and though Elizabeth may not deserve it, the Queen of England will easily deserve to have an emperor‘s son to marry.
If they’re not talking about you, you’re not doing something; you’re not doing anything. So if they’re talking about you, you may be doing something right. And when they talk bad about you, you just use it for motivation.

Nathan Bedford Forrest
The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding.
We all have life storms, and when we get the rough times and we recover from them, we should celebrate that we got through it. No matter how bad it may seem, there’s always something beautiful that you can find.

Earl Wilson
Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world seek each other so that the world may come to being.
As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.
Everything has a purpose or premise. Every second of our life has its own premise, whether or not we are conscious of it at the time. That premise may be as simple as breathing or as complex as a vital emotional decision, but it is always there.
Lajos Egri
Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.

Those things which I am saying now may be obscure, yet they will be made clearer in their proper place.
If you want to be more productive, then start at the start: get there on time.

This may feel like an old-fashioned tip to give, but it has served me well for five decades in business.
Do not wait; the time will never be ‘just right.’ Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.

To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.
The man who runs may fight again.
Menander
It is the lone worker who makes the first advance in a subject; the details may be worked out by a team, but the prime idea is due to enterprise, thought, and perception of an individual.
Alexander Fleming
What appears to be the end of the road may simply be a bend in the road.

An unexciting truth may be eclipsed by a thrilling lie.
A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.
I don’t pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being.

All things are possible until they are proved impossible – and even the impossible may only be so, as of now.
May you live all the days of your life.
Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds. I may be given credit for having blazed the trail, but when I look at the subsequent developments I feel the credit is due to others rather than to myself.

It may be those who do most, dream most.
Knowledge may give weight, but accomplishments give lustre, and many more people see than weigh.
People who ask confidently get more than those who are hesitant and uncertain. When you’ve figured out what you want to ask for, do it with certainty, boldness and confidence. Don’t be shy or feel intimidated by the experience. You may face some unexpected criticism, but be prepared for it with confidence.
In theory it may seem all right to some, but when it comes to being made the instrument of the Lord’s vengeance, I myself don’t like it.
Robert Gould Shaw
We can never be afraid to stand up for what is right, no matter what others may say. And sometimes, if that means taking a lonely road, if what we are standing for is true, then perhaps moonlight or sunshine will light our way and make it less lonely.
Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained. Follow some other object, and very possibly we may find that we have caught happiness without dreaming of it.
Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever.
Aristophanes
And she was fair as is the rose in May.
Geoffrey Chaucer
This land may be profitable to those that will adventure it.
Henry Hudson
Learning in a face-to-face human community, as humans have evolved to do over hundreds of thousands of years, may always be the ideal – especially in an endeavor that is as relationship-driven as business.
Every child should have a caring adult in their lives. And that’s not always a biological parent or family member. It may be a friend or neighbor. Often times it is a teacher.
The best news of the Christian gospel is that the supremely glorious Creator of the universe has acted in Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection to remove every obstacle between us and himself so that we may find everlasting joy in seeing and savoring his infinite beauty.
Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.
A wrong concept misleads the understanding; a wrong deed degrades the whole man, and may eventually demolish the structure of the human ego.
The magistrates are the ministers for the laws, the judges their interpreters, the rest of us are servants of the law, that we all may be free.
Hold those things that tell your history and protect them. During slavery, who was able to read or write or keep anything? The ability to have somebody to tell your story to is so important. It says: ‘I was here. I may be sold tomorrow. But you know I was here.’
We may achieve climate, but weather is thrust upon us.

We may achieve climate, but weather is thrust upon us.
O. Henry
I may be crazy, but it keeps me from going insane.
In the time of darkest defeat, victory may be nearest.
William McKinley
One may have a blazing hearth in one’s soul and yet no one ever came to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way.

Sinful and forbidden pleasures are like poisoned bread; they may satisfy appetite for the moment, but there is death in them at the end.
God gave us free will, and we may choose to exercise it in ways that end up hurting other people.
Although I’m only fourteen, I know quite well what I want. I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my own ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child. I feel quite independent of anyone.
A son can bear with equanimity the loss of his father, but the loss of his inheritance may drive him to despair.
The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.
Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. There may be legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not… with regard to abortion and euthanasia.
We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.
We may say most aptly that the Analytical Engine weaves algebraical patterns just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves.
Important principles may, and must, be inflexible.
I only ever play Vegas one night at a time. It’s a hideous, gaudy place; it may not be the end of the world per se, but you can certainly see it from there.
We have a powerful potential in out youth, and we must have the courage to change old ideas and practices so that we may direct their power toward good ends.
Mary McLeod Bethune
If I should say anything that is not in conformity with what is held by the Holy Roman Catholic Church, it will be through ignorance and not through malice. This may be taken as certain, and also that, through God’s goodness, I am, and shall always be, as I always have been, subject to her.
You can’t please everyone. When you’re too focused on living up to other people’s standards, you aren’t spending enough time raising your own. Some people may whisper, complain and judge. But for the most part, it’s all in your head. People care less about your actions than you think. Why? They have their own problems!
Be willing to be uncomfortable. Be comfortable being uncomfortable. It may get tough, but it’s a small price to pay for living a dream.
Freedom does not come without a price. We may sometimes take for granted the many liberties we enjoy in America, but they have all been earned through the ultimate sacrifice paid by so many of the members of our armed forces.
Charlie Dent
You may not enjoy loneliness, because loneliness is sad. But solitude is something else; solitude is what you look forward to when you want to be alone, when you want to be with yourself. So, solitude is something we all need from time to time.
In experimental philosophy, we are to look upon propositions inferred by general induction from phenomena as accurately or very nearly true, notwithstanding any contrary hypotheses that may be imagined, till such time as other phenomena occur by which they may either be made more accurate or liable to exceptions.
In these days a man is nobody unless his biography is kept so far posted up that it may be ready for the national breakfast-table on the morning after his demise.
We must develop the capacity to see men not as they are at present but as they may become.
It never troubles the wolf how many the sheep may be.
A man watches his pear tree day after day, impatient for the ripening of the fruit. Let him attempt to force the process, and he may spoil both fruit and tree. But let him patiently wait, and the ripe pear at length falls into his lap.
A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married.
An optimist may see a light where there is none, but why must the pessimist always run to blow it out?
Rene Descartes
Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as

Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose – a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.
Mary Shelley
Liberalism is assisting quality of life, whatever you may choose.
Let us recollect that peace or war will not always be left to our option; that however moderate or unambitious we may be, we cannot count upon the moderation, or hope to extinguish the ambition of others.
A reputation once broken may possibly be repaired, but the world will always keep their eyes on the spot where the crack was.
Joseph Hall
I am a doctor – it’s a profession that may be considered a special mission, a devotion. It calls for involvement, respect and willingness to help all other people.
Ewa Kopacz
The lessons of history would suggest that civilisations move in cycles. You can track that back quite far – the Babylonians, the Sumerians, followed by the Egyptians, the Romans, China. We’re obviously in a very upward cycle right now, and hopefully that remains the case. But it may not.
The advice I’ve been giving to people all my life – that you may not be interested in the dialectic but the dialectic is interested in you; you can’t give up politics, it won’t give you up – was the advice I should have been taking myself.
We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country.
Grief has limits, whereas apprehension has none. For we grieve only for what we know has happened, but we fear all that possibly may happen.

We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur.
Indecision may or may not be my problem.
We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.
Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.
Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery.
Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement.
As fast as each opportunity presents itself, use it! No matter how tiny an opportunity it may be, use it!
If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.
One mistake and all this attention may just disappear one fine day. So I prefer to remain grounded.
Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.
No matter how difficult and painful it may be, nothing sounds as good to the soul as the truth.
The writer may very well serve a movement of history as its mouthpiece, but he cannot of course create it.
God may forgive your sins, but your nervous system won’t.
Alfred Korzybski
Lack of something to feel important about is almost the greatest tragedy a man may have.
Arthur E. Morgan
Here’s what I tell anybody and this is what I believe. The greatest gift we have is the gift of life. We understand that. That comes from our Creator. We’re given a body. Now you may not like it, but you can maximize that body the best it can be maximized.
There may be some people in the country who forget to perform their duty. You should set an example by doing your job with honesty and faithfulness.

As in geology, so in social institutions, we may discover the causes of all past changes in the present invariable order of society.

Oswald Spengler
I always tell actors when they go in for an audition: D

I always tell actors when they go in for an audition: Don’t be afraid to do what your instincts tell you. You may not get the part, but people will take notice.
Politics are very much like war. We may even have to use poison gas at times.
May we have communion with God in the secret of our hearts, and find Him to be to us as a little sanctuary.
There may be people who have more talent than you, but there’s no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do – and I believe that.
Marriage may be the closest thing to Heaven or Hell any of us will know on this earth.
There was something undifferentiated and yet complete, which existed before Heaven and Earth. Soundless and formless, it depends on nothing and does not change. It operates everywhere and is free from danger. It may be considered the mother of the universe. I do not know its name; I call it Tao.
If you are losing your leisure, look out; you may be losing your soul.
Older women are best, because they always think they may be doing it for the last time.
Ian Fleming
If you are carrying strong feelings about something that happened in your past, they may hinder your ability to live in the present.
Today is your own. Tomorrow perchance may never come.
He who lives in our mind is near though he may actually be far away; but he who is not in our heart is far though he may really be nearby.

Satchel Paige
A man may learn wisdom even from a foe.
Aristophanes
Our country may be likened to a new house. We lack many things, but we possess the most precious of all – liberty!
A man who reads effeminate may well be consistently heterosexual, and another one might be gay. We can’t read sexuality off of gender.
The wisest of the wise may err.
Socialism states that you owe me something simply because I exist. Capitalism, by contrast, results in a sort of reality-forced altruism: I may not want to help you, I may dislike you, but if I don’t give you a product or service you want, I will starve. Voluntary exchange is more moral than forced redistribution.
It may seem a strange principle to enunciate as the very first requirement in a hospital that it should do the sick no harm.
This may sound a bit naive, but I got here by believing in big dreams.
Neutrality is a negative word. It does not express what America ought to feel. We are not trying to keep out of trouble; we are trying to preserve the foundations on which peace may be rebuilt.

I may be dumb, but I’m not stupid.
Tomorrow's not promised. You may love someone; you may

It is not what a lawyer tells me I may do; but what humanity, reason, and justice tell me I ought to do.

Mary Pickford
From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.
A man who correctly guesses a woman‘s age may be smart, but he’s not very bright.
Time travel may be achieved one day, or it may not. But if it is, it should not require any fundamental change in world-view, at least for those who broadly share the world view I am presenting in this book.
David Deutsch
In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?
Carl Rogers
Society as a whole benefits immeasurably from a climate in which all persons, regardless of race or gender, may have the opportunity to earn respect, responsibility, advancement and remuneration based on ability.

Thomas Tusser
In June as many as a dozen species may burst their buds on a single day. No man can heed all of these anniversaries; no man can ignore all of them.
Aldo Leopold
I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may, – light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful.
May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.
My countrymen, I have given proofs that I am one most anxious for liberties for our country, and I am still desirous of them. But I place as a prior condition the education of the people, that by means of instruction and industry our country may have an individuality of its own and make itself worthy of these liberties.
Do the best you can in every task, no matter how unimportant it may seem at the time. No one learns more about a problem than the person at the bottom.
Between our birth and death we may touch understanding, As a moth brushes a window with its wing.
Christopher Fry
One’s dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.

B. C. Forbes
You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.
Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
Remember, always give your best. Never get discouraged. Never be petty. Always remember, others may hate you. But those who hate you don’t win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.
The end may justify the means as long as there is somet

The end may justify the means as long as there is something that justifies the end.
I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
May Heaven be propitious, and smile on the cause of my country.
To those whose talents are above mediocrity, the highest subjects may be announced. To those who are below mediocrity, the highest subjects may not be announced.
Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.
William Arthur Ward
