Greek - Philosopher
384 BC - 322 BC

There's shames a man can never reason away, though he looks back and piles up reasons over them forty dozen deep. And maybe those are the shames a man never should reason away.

Ken Kesey

The high-minded man does not bear grudges, for it is not the mark of a great soul to remember injuries, but to forget them.

Aristotle

The low minded are fond of deception the nature of low-minded people never changes.

Chanakya

France must not be the only country to have a high level of welfare protection and few obligations incumbent on those who receive benefits.

Nicolas Sarkozy

This sunlight shames November where he grieves In dead red leaves, and will not let him shun The day, though bough with bough be overrun. But with a blessing every glade receives High salutation.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

The nature of man is such that people consider themselves put under an obligation as much by the benefits they confer as by those they receive.

Niccolo Machiavelli

Christ and his benefits go inseparably and undividedly... Many would willingly receive his privileges, who will not receive his person; but it cannot be; if we will have one, we must take the other too: Yea, we must accept his person first, and then his benefits: as it is in the marriage covenant, so it is here.

John Flavel

No place, no company, no age, no person is temptation-free; let no man boast that he was never tempted, let him not be high-minded, but fear, for he may be surprised in that very instant wherein he boasteth that he was never tempted at all.

Herbert Spencer

Too often in Washington, we only look at the recipient side: How does the budget affect either those who receive or don't receive benefits.

Mick Mulvaney

I have yet to meet a man as fond of high moral conduct as he is of outward appearances.

Confucius

There cannot live a more unhappy creature than an ill-natured old man, who is neither capable of receiving pleasures, nor sensible of conferring them on others.

William Temple

The more the state gives to its citizens, the less they have to earn. That is the basic concept of the welfare state - you receive almost everything you need without having to earn any of it. About half of Americans now pay no federal income tax - but they receive all government benefits just as if they had paid for, i.e., earned them.

Dennis Prager

You have to be looking for a job to get unemployment benefits. If you stop looking for work, you are no longer eligible to receive benefits.

Austan Goolsbee

It isn't the instrument that influences High-Minded or Low-Minded; it's the quality of Mind itself.

Cynthia Ozick

You will form a very inadequate estimate of a man's character, if you judge by what a fond sister says of him. The worst of them generally know how to hide their misdeeds from their sisters' eyes, and their mother's, too.

Anne Bronte

That low man seeks a little thing to do, Sees it and does it: This high man, with a great thing to pursue, Dies ere he knows it. That low man goes on adding one to one, His hundred's soon hit: This high man, aiming at a million, Misses an unit. That, has the world here-should he need the next, Let the world mind him! This, throws himself on God, and unperplext Seeking shall find Him.

Robert Browning
