If you think the United States has stood still, who built the largest shopping center in the world?
Richard M. Nixon

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You
are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.
Woodrow Wilson

Sometimes people call me an idealist. Well, that is the way I know I am an American. America is the only idealistic nation in the world.
Woodrow Wilson

I am not sure that it is of the first importance that you should be happy. Many an unhappy man has been of deep service to himself and to the world.
Woodrow Wilson

In this world a man must either be anvil or hammer.

Taylor Swift

We live in the world when we love it.

No one need think that the world can be ruled without blood. The civil sword shall and must be red and bloody.
Andrew Jackson

Well, in The Chosen, Danny Saunders, from the heart of his religious reading of the world, encounters an element in the very heart of the secular readings of the world -
Freudian psychoanalytic theory.
Chaim Potok

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.
Bertrand Russell

Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment
and new meaning it will bring your own life.
Arnold Schwarzenegger

I believe with all my heart that America remains 'the great idea' that inspires the world. It is a privilege to be born here. It is an honor to become a citizen here. It is a
gift to raise your family here, to vote here, and to live here.
Arnold Schwarzenegger

My relationship to power and authority is that I'm all for it. People need somebody to watch over them. Ninety-five percent of the people in the world need to be told what to
do and how to behave.
Arnold Schwarzenegger

I was born in Europe... and I've traveled all over the world. I can tell you that there is no place, no country, that is more compassionate, more generous, more accepting, and
more welcoming than the United States of America.
Arnold Schwarzenegger

Music is the melody whose text is the world.
Arthur Schopenhauer

They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice... that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a
more unassailable title than to his own life and person.
Arthur Schopenhauer

Every person takes the limits of their own field of vision for the limits of the world.
Arthur Schopenhauer

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.

In our monogamous part of the world, to marry means to halve one's rights and double one's duties.

their life.

You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you.
Brian Tracy

He is not a true man of the world who knows only the present fashions of it.
Woodrow Wilson

The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty.
Woodrow Wilson

There is little for the great part of the history of the world except the bitter tears of pity and the hot tears of wrath.
Woodrow Wilson

The world is not looking for servants, there are plenty of these, but for masters, men who form their purposes and then carry them out, let the consequences be what they may.
Woodrow Wilson

You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone
at times, and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give.
E. O. Wilson

We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right
time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely.
E. O. Wilson

If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the
environment would collapse into chaos.
E. O. Wilson

The essence of humanity's spiritual dilemma is that we evolved genetically to accept one truth and discovered another. Is there a way to erase the dilemma, to resolve the
contradictions between the transcendentalist and the empiricist world views?
E. O. Wilson

I have been absolutely hag-ridden with ambition. If I could wish to have anything in the world it would be to be free of ambition.
Tallulah Bankhead

All men whilst they are awake are in one common world: but each of them, when he is asleep, is in a world of his own.

Get correct views of life, and learn to see the world in its true light. It will enable you to live pleasantly, to do good, and, when summoned away, to leave without regret.
Robert E. Lee

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.
Lucille Ball

John Dalton's records, carefully preserved for a century, were destroyed during the World War II bombing of Manchester. It is not only the living who are killed in war.
Isaac Asimov

It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not
only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.
Isaac Asimov

No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.

Isaac Asimov

Meanwhile, fears of universal disaster sank to an all time low over the world.
Isaac Asimov

After all, the chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with producing, buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world.
Calvin Coolidge

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is
almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin Coolidge

Advertising ministers to the spiritual side of trade. It is great power that has been entrusted to your keeping which charges you with the high responsibility of inspiring and
ennobling the commercial world. It is all part of the greater work of the regeneration and redemption of mankind.
Calvin Coolidge

People of this world are deluded. They're always longing for something - always, in a word, seeking.

The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work.
Michael Jackson

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

Norman Vincent Peale

On account of being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does.
Will Rogers

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
Anais Nin

How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
Anais Nin

I will not be just a tourist in the world of images, just watching images passing by which I cannot live in, make love to, possess as permanent sources of joy and ecstasy.
Anais Nin

When you make a world tolerable for yourself, you make a world tolerable for others.
Anais Nin

The main goal of the future is to stop violence. The world is addicted to it.

Carl Jung

Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
Jean-Paul Sartre

The world runs on individuals pursuing their self interests. The great achievements of civilization have not come from government bureaus. Einstein didn't construct his theory
under order from a, from a bureaucrat. Henry Ford didn't revolutionize the automobile industry that way.
Milton Friedman

There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.
Erma Bombeck

There is nothing more miserable in the world than to arrive in paradise and look like your passport photo.

Lewis Carroll

This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.

Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm. But the harm does not interest them.
T. S. Eliot

It is only in the world of objects that we have time and space and selves.
T. S. Eliot

There is not a more repulsive spectacle than on old man who will not forsake the world, which has already forsaken him.
T. S. Eliot

Since boredom advances and boredom is the root of all evil, no wonder, then, that the world goes backwards, that evil spreads. This can be traced back to the very beginning of
the world. The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings.
Soren Kierkegaard

People commonly travel the world over to see rivers and mountains, new stars, garish birds, freak fish, grotesque breeds of human; they fall into an animal stupor that gapes
at existence and they think they have seen something.
Soren Kierkegaard

Not just in commerce but in the world of ideas too our age is putting on a veritable clearance sale. Everything can be had so dirt cheap that one begins to wonder whether in
the end anyone will want to make a bid.
Soren Kierkegaard

I see America spreading disaster. I see America as a black curse upon the world. I see a long night settling in and that mushroom which has poisoned the world withering at the
roots.
Henry Miller

It isn't the oceans which cut us off from the world - it's the American way of looking at things.
Henry Miller

Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting
people. Forget yourself.
Henry Miller

The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.
Henry Miller

Example moves the world more than doctrine. The great exemplars are the poets of action, and it makes little difference whether they be forces for good or forces for evil.
Henry Miller

To live without killing is a thought which could electrify the world, if men were only capable of staying awake long enough to let the idea soak in.
Henry Miller

The world is not to be put in order; the world is order, incarnate. It is for us to harmonize with this order.
Henry Miller

The world dies over and over again, but the skeleton always gets up and walks.
Henry Miller

There is no salvation in becoming adapted to a world which is crazy.
Henry Miller

We have it in our power to begin the world over again.
Thomas Paine

My country is the world, and my religion is to do good.
Thomas Paine

Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of
the use of them.
Thomas Paine

The whole religious complexion of the modern world is due to the absence from Jerusalem of a lunatic asylum.
Thomas Paine

God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, "I love you."
Billy Graham

My home is in Heaven. I'm just traveling through this world.
Billy Graham

The men who followed Him were unique in their generation. They turned the world upside down because their hearts had been turned right side up. The world has never been the
same.
Billy Graham

Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the world as much as adversity has.
Billy Graham

Suppose you could gain everything in the whole world, and lost your soul. Was it worth it?
Billy Graham

There have to be more important things going on in the world than my past.
Charlie Sheen

But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying
truth.
Umberto Eco

For now, I'm just going to hang out with these two smoking hotties and fly privately around the world. It might be lonely up here, but I sure like the view.
Charlie Sheen

The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.
e. e. cummings

Fans are my favorite thing in the world. I've never been the type of artist who has that line drawn between their friends and their fans. The line's always been really blurred
for me. I'll hang out with them after the show. I'll hang out with them before the show. If I see them in the mall, I'll stand there and talk to them for 10 minutes.
Taylor Swift

What men value in this world is not rights but privileges.
H. L. Mencken

In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.
H. L. Mencken

War will never cease until babies begin to come into the world with larger cerebrums and smaller adrenal glands.
H. L. Mencken

It is not materialism that is the chief curse of the world, as pastors teach, but idealism. Men get into trouble by taking their visions and hallucinations too seriously.
H. L. Mencken

One may no more live in the world without picking up the moral prejudices of the world than one will be able to go to hell without perspiring.
H. L. Mencken

The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.
H. L. Mencken

Labour was the first price, the original purchase - money that was paid for all things. It was not by gold or by silver, but by labour, that all wealth of the world was
originally purchased.
Adam Smith

Therefore trust to thy heart, and to what the world calls illusions.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I can hear you, the rest of the world can hear you and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.
George W. Bush

We will stand up for our friends in the world. And one of the most important friends is the State of Israel. My administration will be steadfast in support Israel against
terrorism and violence, and in seeking the peace for which all Israelis pray.
George W. Bush

Hundreds of thousands of American servicemen and women are deployed across the world in the war on terror. By bringing hope to the oppressed, and delivering justice to the
violent, they are making America more secure.
George W. Bush

And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to
be, and could be, if there weren't any other people living in the world.
Anne Frank

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.
Anne Frank

Maybe this world is another planet's hell.
Aldous Huxley

Science has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.
Aldous Huxley

I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.
Aldous Huxley

Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.
Aldous Huxley

Orthodoxy is the diehard of the world of thought. It learns not, neither can it forget.
Aldous Huxley

Act that your principle of action might safely be made a law for the whole world.
Immanuel Kant

So act that your principle of action might safely be made a law for the whole world.
Immanuel Kant

By reading the scriptures I am so renewed that all nature seems renewed around me and with me. The sky seems to be a pure, a cooler blue, the trees a deeper green. The whole
world is charged with the glory of God and I feel fire and music under my feet.
Thomas Merton

Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world.
Lily Tomlin

To be matter-of-fact about the world is to blunder into fantasy - and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful.
Robert A. Heinlein

To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour.
William Blake

You cannot have Liberty in this world without what you call Moral Virtue, and you cannot have Moral Virtue without the slavery of that half of the human race who hate what you
call Moral Virtue.
William Blake

Do what you will, this world's a fiction and is made up of contradiction.
William Blake

Imagination is the real and eternal world of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow.
William Blake

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't
live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
Albert Schweitzer

Whoever is spared personal pain must feel himself called to help in diminishing the pain of others. We must all carry our share of the misery which lies upon the world.
Albert Schweitzer

Day by day we should weigh what we have granted to the spirit of the world against what we have denied to the spirit of Jesus, in thought and especially in deed.
Albert Schweitzer

One truth stands firm. All that happens in world history rests on something spiritual. If the spiritual is strong, it creates world history. If it is weak, it suffers world
history.
Albert Schweitzer

Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf.
Albert Schweitzer

By having a reverence for life, we enter into a spiritual relation with the world By practicing reverence for life we become good, deep, and alive.
Albert Schweitzer

I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.
Richard Dawkins

Isn't it sad to go to your grave without ever wondering why you were born? Who, with such a thought, would not spring from bed, eager to resume discovering the world and
rejoicing to be part of it?
Richard Dawkins

Personally, I rather look forward to a computer program winning the world chess championship. Humanity needs a lesson in humility.
Richard Dawkins

The earth is the earth as a peasant sees it, the world is the world as a duchess sees it, and anyway a duchess would be nothing if the earth was not there as the peasant sees
it.
Gertrude Stein

I think art is the only thing that's spiritual in the world. And I refuse to forced to believe in other people's interpretations of God. I don't think anybody should be. No
one person can own the copyright to what God means.
Marilyn Manson

All I want to do is change the world.
W. Clement Stone

What the caterpillar calls the end of the world the master calls a butterfly.

Live never to be ashamed if anything you say or do is published around the world, even if what is said is not true.
Richard Bach

Most people want security in this world, not liberty.

from it.

I do not believe there is a problem in this country or the world today which could not be settled if approached through the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount.

Harry S. Truman

No individual has any right to come into the world and go out of it without leaving something behind.

there, within us, waiting to give us good on this earth.
George Washington Carver

When you can do the common things of life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.
George Washington Carver

How happy is the blameless vestal's lot? The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Alexander Pope

The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Alexander Pope

The greatest magnifying glasses in the world are a man's own eyes when they look upon his own person.
Alexander Pope

The only gossip I'm interested in is things from the Weekly World News - 'Woman's bra bursts, 11 injured'. That kind of thing.
Johnny Depp

There are necessary evils. Money is an important thing in terms of representing freedom in our world. And now I have a daughter to think about. It's really the first time I've
thought about the future and what it could be.
Johnny Depp

It's all kinds of these profound things crashing on you when your child arrives into the world. It's like you've met your reason to live.
Johnny Depp

One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.
Jane Austen

Give a girl an education and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to one but she has the means of settling well, without further expense to anybody.
Jane Austen

The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love.
Jane Austen

Where youth and diffidence are united, it requires uncommon steadiness of reason to resist the attraction of being called the most charming girl in the world.
Jane Austen

There are certainly not so many men of large fortune in the world, as there are pretty women to deserve them.
Jane Austen

I have Dalinian thought: the one thing the world will never have enough of is the outrageous.

transformed.

to open, except yourself.

Pope John Paul II

It was completely fruitless to quarrel with the world, whereas the quarrel with oneself was occasionally fruitful and always, she had to admit, interesting.

world.

Henry Miller

Time is but the shadow of the world upon the background of Eternity.

It is easy enough to say that poverty is no crime. No; if it were men wouldn't be ashamed of it. It is a blunder, though, and is punished as such. A poor man is despised the

John Stuart Mill

The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.
Marianne Williamson

You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure about you. We were
born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.
Marianne Williamson

As we become purer channels for God's light, we develop an appetite for the sweetness that is possible in this world. A miracle worker is not geared toward fighting the world
that is, but toward creating the world that could be.
Marianne Williamson

Some men know that a light touch of the tongue, running from a woman's toes to her ears, lingering in the softest way possible in various places in between, given often enough
and sincerely enough, would add immeasurably to world peace.
Marianne Williamson

Personal transformation can and does have global effects. As we go, so goes the world, for the world is us. The revolution that will save the world is ultimately a personal
one.

Fill you mind with the meaningless stimuli of a world preoccupied with meaningless things, and it will not be easy to feel peace in your heart.
Marianne Williamson

The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.

Dear God, Please send to me the spirit of Your peace. Then send, dear Lord, the spirit of peace from me to all the world. Amen.
Marianne Williamson

Out of chaos God made a world, and out of high passions comes a people.
Lord Byron

Men think highly of those who rise rapidly in the world; whereas nothing rises quicker than dust, straw, and feathers.
Lord Byron

The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its
head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.
Andrew Carnegie

Well, the odds must be against anybody being able to fly around the world in a balloon on the first attempt. All of us who are attempting to go around the world in balloons
are effectively flying in experimental craft because these craft cannot be tested.
Richard Branson

I don't think so, in that Virgin is already a global brand. Brands like Amazon have had to spend hundreds of millions of pounds you know, building their brands, whereas Virgin
is already well-known around the world.
Richard Branson

The balloons only have one life and the only way of finding out whether they work is to attempt to fly around the world.
Richard Branson

Every bit of me is devoted to love and art. And I aspire to try to be a teacher to my young fans who feel just like I felt when I was younger. I just felt like a freak. I
guess what I'm trying to say is I'm trying to liberate them, I want to free them of their fears and make them feel that they can make their own space in the world.
Lady Gaga

When the whole world has their eyes on you, if you say something that doesn't truly come from your spirit and your soul, or if you wear something that doesn't come from your
spirit and your soul, it's an injustice to your position. And so, I'm really myself every single day and I do it because I know my fans would want me to.
Lady Gaga


You can have anything in this world you want, if you want it badly enough and you're willing to pay the price.
Mary Kay Ash

Every person born into this world their work is born with them.

Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.
James Joyce

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.
E. B. White

The limits of my language means the limits of my world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

The physical world, including our bodies, is a response of the observer. We create our bodies as we create the experience of our world.

inexhaustible here.
Deepak Chopra

If you and I are having a single thought of violence or hatred against anyone in the world at this moment, we are contributing to the wounding of the world.
Deepak Chopra

All the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.

Reputation is only a candle, of wavering and uncertain flame, and easily blown out, but it is the light by which the world looks for and finds merit.
James Russell Lowell

Every man feels instinctively that all the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.
James Russell Lowell

The world is independent of my will.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

It is those who concentrates on but one thing at a time who advance in this world. The great man or woman is the one who never steps outside his or her specialty or foolishly
dissipates his or her individuality.
Og Mandino

Sometimes I get the feeling the whole world is against me, but deep down I know that's not true. Some of the smaller countries are neutral.
Robert Orben

All of us might wish at times that we lived in a more tranquil world, but we don't. And if our times are difficult and perplexing, so are they challenging and filled with
opportunity.
Robert Kennedy

I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour,
for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that.
Princess Diana

The greatest problem in the world today is intolerance. Everyone is so intolerant of each other.
Princess Diana

I'm aware that people I have loved and have died and are in the spirit world looking after me.
Princess Diana

Radical changes in world politics leave America with a heightened responsibility to be, for the world, an example of a genuinely free, democratic, just and humane society.
Pope John Paul II

Today, for the first time in history, a Bishop of Rome sets foot on English soil. This fair land, once a distant outpost of the pagan world, has become, through the preaching
of the Gospel, a beloved and gifted portion of Christ's vineyard.
Pope John Paul II

Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don't quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don't quit until you reach it.
Never quit.
Bear Bryant

The happy Union of these States is a wonder; their Constitution a miracle; their example the hope of Liberty throughout the world.
James Madison

Let me recommend the best medicine in the world: a long journey, at a mild season, through a pleasant country, in easy stages.

To the press alone, chequered as it is with abuses, the world is indebted for all the triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression.
James Madison

The world moves, and ideas that were once good are not always good.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

The people of the world genuinely want peace. Some day the leaders of the world are going to have to give in and give, it to them.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Whatever America hopes to bring to pass in the world must first come to pass in the heart of America.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

This world of ours... must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

If the United Nations once admits that international disputes can be settled by using force, then we will have destroyed the foundation of the organization and our best hope
of establishing a world order.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

The free world must not prove itself worthy of its own past.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Reason in man is rather like God in the world.

Do not be misled by what you see around you, or be influenced by what you see. You live in a world which is a playground of illusion, full of false paths, false values and
false ideals. But you are not part of that world.
Sai Baba

A house must be built on solid foundations if it is to last. The same principle applies to man, otherwise he too will sink back into the soft ground and becomes swallowed up
by the world of illusion.
Sai Baba

Let love flow so that it cleanses the world. Then man can live in peace, instead of the state of turmoil he has created through his past ways of life, with all those material
interests and earthly ambitions.
Sai Baba

What is new in the world? Nothing. What is old in the world? Nothing. Everything has always been and will always be.
Sai Baba

90 percent of my time is spent on 10 percent of the world.

is a much better place.
Colin Powell

The United States is not stingy. We are the greatest contributor to international relief efforts in the world.

Colin Powell

The individual who can do something that the world wants done will, in the end, make his way regardless of his race.

The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.
George Orwell

All that's necessary for the forces of evil to win in the world is for enough good men to do nothing.

Edmund Burke

The important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men.
George Eliot

Will not a tiny speck very close to our vision blot out the glory of the world, and leave only a margin by which we see the blot? I know no speck so troublesome as self.
George Eliot

Death is the king of this world: 'Tis his park where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain are music for his banquet.
George Eliot

Excellence encourages one about life generally; it shows the spiritual wealth of the world.
George Eliot

The world is full of hopeful analogies and handsome, dubious eggs, called possibilities.
George Eliot

The best augury of a man's success in his profession is that he thinks it the finest in the world.
George Eliot

Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that. Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world.
Samuel Beckett

The tears of the world are a constant quality. For each one who begins to weep, somewhere else another stops. The same is true of the laugh.
Samuel Beckett

A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of
them, will be little the better for anything else.
John Locke

The great city is that which has the greatest man or woman: if it be a few ragged huts, it is still the greatest city in the whole world.
Walt Whitman

Judging from the main portions of the history of the world, so far, justice is always in jeopardy.
Walt Whitman

Where I come from, you don't really talk about how much you're earning. Those things are private. My dad never told my mum how much he was earning. I'm certainly not going to
tell the world. I'm doing well.
Paul McCartney

Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.
Robert Kennedy

The world is the totality of facts, not of things.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Humor is not a mood but a way of looking at the world. So if it is correct to say that humor was stamped out in Nazi Germany, that does not mean that people were not in good
spirits, or anything of that sort, but something much deeper and more important.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Logic is not a body of doctrine, but a mirror-image of the world. Logic is transcendental.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

The logic of the world is prior to all truth and falsehood.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Silver and gold are not the only coin; virtue too passes current all over the world.
Euripides

Music can change the world because it can change people.
Bono

America cannot continue to lead the family of nations around the world if we suffer the collapse of the family here at home.
Mitt Romney

And the American people are the greatest people in the world. What makes America the greatest nation in the world is the heart of the American people: hardworking, innovative,
risk-taking, God- loving, family-oriented American people.
Mitt Romney

The principles that made this nation a great and powerful leader of the world, have not lost their meaning. They never will. We know we can bring this country back. I'm Mitt
Romney. I believe in America. And I'm running for president of the United States.
Mitt Romney

The words spoken by the leader of the free world can expand the frontiers of freedom or shrink them. When Ronald Reagan called on Gorbachev to "tear down this wall," a surge
of confidence rose that would ultimately breach the bounds of the evil empire.
Mitt Romney

We believe in individual initiative, personal responsibility, opportunity, freedom, small government, the Constitution. These principles, these American principles are key to
getting our economy back to being successful and leading the world.
Mitt Romney

Massachusetts children cannot only lead the nation in test scores, they can be competitive with the best in the world. And the gap in achievement among races can virtually
disappear.
Mitt Romney

Internationally, President Obama has adopted an appeasement strategy. He believes America's role as leader in the world is a thing of the past. I believe a strong America must
- and will - lead the future.
Mitt Romney

We have serious enemies and growing threats around the world. Unfortunately, we have an administration whose idea of a rogue state is Arizona.
Mitt Romney

Instead of leading the world by how much we borrow, it's time that we make sure we lead the world in how much we build and create and invest.
Mitt Romney

To the lover of wilderness, Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world.
John Muir

Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises
that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.
Vaclav Havel

The exercise of power is determined by thousands of interactions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, all the more so because these worlds are never
divided by a sharp line: everyone has a small part of himself in both.
Vaclav Havel

If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do. He's not a little peripheral figure entertaining rich people, he's
really needed.
Vaclav Havel

As soon as man began considering himself the source of the highest meaning in the world and the measure of everything, the world began to lose its human dimension, and man
began to lose control of it.
Vaclav Havel

The salvation of this human world lies nowhere else than in the human heart, in the human power to reflect, in human meekness and human responsibility.
Vaclav Havel

Hope is a feeling that life and work have meaning. You either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you.
Vaclav Havel

Common sense is the most fairly distributed thing in the world, for each one thinks he is so well-endowed with it that even those who are hardest to satisfy in all other
matters are not in the habit of desiring more of it than they already have.
Rene Descartes

Come away, O human child: To the waters and the wild with a fairy, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
William Butler Yeats

Come Fairies, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame!
William Butler Yeats

The years like great black oxen tread the world, and God, the herdsman goads them on behind, and I am broken by their passing feet.
William Butler Yeats

The only business of the head in the world is to bow a ceaseless obeisance to the heart.
William Butler Yeats

As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no man objected and no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever.
Clarence Darrow

The world is made up for the most part of morons and natural tyrants, sure of themselves, strong in their own opinions, never doubting anything.
Clarence Darrow

You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom.
Clarence Darrow

If the present world go astray, the cause is in you, in you it is to be sought.
Dante Alighieri

I like being a woman, even in a man's world. After all, men can't wear dresses, but we can wear the pants.
Whitney Houston

I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.
John D. Rockefeller

There is nothing in this world that can compare with the Christian fellowship; nothing that can satisfy but Christ.
John D. Rockefeller

The art of Peace I practice has room for each of the world's eight million gods, and I cooperate with them all. The God of Peace is very great and enjoins all that is divine
and enlightened in every land.
Morihei Ueshiba

Do not look upon this world with fear and loathing. Bravely face whatever the gods offer.
Morihei Ueshiba

The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools.
Herbert Spencer

I am deeply grateful to the citizens of Sarajevo and the Sarajevo Canton assembly for bestowing upon me this incredible honor of citizenship. I am so proud to now be a part of
such an extraordinary part of the world and fellow citizen to the people I deeply love and admire.
Angelina Jolie

I'd go from film to film and almost detach from one world and jump in another. I was living as these people and not having a self. I didn't know who I was. And things just get
really dark.
Angelina Jolie

I grew up as this very carefree, happy kid then things turned darker for me. Maybe it was because I saw that the world wasn't as happy a place as I had hoped it would be for
me.
Angelina Jolie

First and foremost comes my family and my life with Brad. We have so much joy in raising our children and teaching them about the world that nothing really compares to that.
Angelina Jolie

Hearing voices no one else can hear isn't a good sign, even in the wizarding world.
J. K. Rowling

Much unhappiness has come into the world because of bewilderment and things left unsaid.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

If you were to destroy the belief in immortality in mankind, not only love but every living force on which the continuation of all life in the world depended, would dry up at
once.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Elie Wiesel

The world is before you and you need not take it or leave it as it was when you came in.
James A. Baldwin

The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.
Benjamin Disraeli

The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven.
Benjamin Disraeli

A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies
the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art.
Benjamin Disraeli

The people of England are the most enthusiastic in the world.
Benjamin Disraeli

Assassination has never changed the history of the world.
Benjamin Disraeli

When a man fell into his anecdotage it was a sign for him to retire from the world.
Benjamin Disraeli

The world is weary of statesmen whom democracy has degraded into politicians.
Benjamin Disraeli

The power of the white world is threatened whenever a black man refuses to accept the white world's definitions.
James A. Baldwin

You know, it's not the world that was my oppressor, because what the world does to you, if the world does it to you long enough and effectively enough, you begin to do to
yourself.
James A. Baldwin

Any writer, I suppose, feels that the world into which he was born is nothing less than a conspiracy against the cultivation of his talent.
James A. Baldwin

Voyagers discover that the world can never be larger than the person that is in the world; but it is impossible to foresee this, it is impossible to be warned.
James A. Baldwin

The questions which one asks oneself begin, at least, to illuminate the world, and become one's key to the experience of others.
James A. Baldwin


There is a "sanctity" involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
James A. Baldwin

Globalization has changed us into a company that searches the world, not just to sell or to source, but to find intellectual capital - the world's best talents and greatest
ideas.
Jack Welch

Strong managers who make tough decisions to cut jobs provide the only true job security in today's world. Weak managers are the problem. Weak managers destroy jobs.
Jack Welch

I do believe we're all connected. I do believe in positive energy. I do believe in the power of prayer. I do believe in putting good out into the world. And I believe in
taking care of each other.
Harvey Fierstein

The world is full of more interesting things than my voice.
Harvey Fierstein

The whole world is run on bluff.
Marcus Garvey

I know no national boundary where the Negro is concerned. The whole world is my province until Africa is free.
Marcus Garvey

Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have.
Margaret Mead

I was brought up to believe that the only thing worth doing was to add to the sum of accurate information in the world.
Margaret Mead

China gets their oil from Libya. Why isn't China involved? They're going out spending billions of dollars a day on trying to take over the world economically. And we're
spending billions and billions and billions of dollars on policing the world. Why isn't China involved with Libya? That - we don't get oil from Libya, China does.
Donald Trump

I saw a report yesterday. There's so much oil, all over the world, they don't know where to dump it. And Saudi Arabia says, 'Oh, there's too much oil.' They - they came back
yesterday. Did you see the report? They want to reduce oil production. Do you think they're our friends? They're not our friends.
Donald Trump

The debt limits have to come down. The whole world of debt has to be changed as far as this country is concerned. We have to create jobs and we have to create them rapidly
because if we don't things are just going to head in a direction that's going to be almost impossible to recover from.
Donald Trump

Everything in the world we want to do or get done, we must do with and through people.
Earl Nightingale
