When there's too many teams that are not trying to win, that poisons the game, poisons the fan experience, and it creates bandwagon fans.

Max Scherzer

I know nothing about pistols and revolvers, which is why I usually kill off my characters with a blunt instrument or better with poisons. Besides, poisons are neat and clean and really exciting... I do not think I could look a really ghastly mangled body in the face. It is the means that I am interested in. I do not usually describe the end, which is often a corpse.

Agatha Christie

You cannot extend the mastery of government over the daily life of a people without somewhere making it master of people's souls and thoughts.... Every step in that direction poisons the very roots of liberalism. It poisons political equality, free speech, free press, and equality of opportunity. It is the road not to more liberty but to less liberty.

Herbert Hoover

Being blind is as simple as closing your eyes. The blind don't act any different than you or I. You never see a blind person going around saying, 'I'm blind.' So if you want to play blind just close your eyes and keep them closed and fare thee well.

Morgan Freeman

Hate poisons your life.

Robert Thurman

If you are in a toxic relationship, that poisons you everywhere else in your life.

Matthew Hussey

I've learned to distinguish between the greatness of God and the inexcusable evil that has been done by those professing his name. And so I do not deduce [as Christopher Hitchens does] that God is not great, and that religion poisons everything. After all, if I failed to distinguish between the genius of Einstein and the abuse of his science to create weapons of mass destruction, I might be tempted to say science is not great, and technology poisons everything.

John Lennox

Meditation is the antidote to all the poisons of your life. It is the nourishment of your authentic nature.

Rajneesh

You have to focus on what's important to you and go for it. But don't stab people in the back. It poisons your whole life if you're like that.

Martha Stewart

Kindness is a rotten fruit that poisons anyone who partakes of it. Throw it in the face of your enemies and let it ruin them instead.

Sherrilyn Kenyon

Do not think only of your own joy, but vow to save all beings from suffering. This is sharing in its highest form and purity beyond all poisons of this world.

Dalai Lama

Theology is to religion what poisons are to food.

Voltaire

Money poisons you when you've got it, and starves you when you haven't.

D. H. Lawrence

Unhappiness is a dangerous thing, like carbon monoxide. You don't smell it, you don't taste it, it's formless and colourless, but it poisons slowly. It seeps into every pore of your skin until one day your heart just stops beating.
