But collective thinking is usually short-lived. We're fickle, stupid beings with poor memories and a great gift for self-destruction.

Suzanne Collins

To have a dutiful family, the father's principle of rule must be love, not fear. His sway must be gentle, or he will have only an unwilling and short-lived obedience.

William Cobbett

Fate leads the willing, and th' unwilling draws.

Francois Rabelais

Fate shall yield To fickle Chance, and Chaos judge the strife.

Fergus Henderson

Human memory is short and terribly fickle.

Janine di Giovanni

Fame is fickle. If the media turn against me, I will just have more time in the library. Not bad as a fate.

Mary Beard

Sponsorships and marketing are oftentimes pretty short-lived. From a company's standpoint, they're often not looking to do tremendously long contracts. They're always trying to catch the next big thing.

Tim Howard

When it comes to public school education, we have been unwilling to measure our results. We've been unwilling to pay based on performance. We have tenure where, even if you can't teach, you can't get fired. We've been unwilling to invest in new schools.

Michael Bloomberg

I lived rough, by my wits, was homeless, lived on the streets, lived on friends' floors, was happy, was miserable.

Struggling over my fickle heart, love draws it now this way, and now hate that--but love, I think, is winning. I will hate, if I have strength; if not, I shall love unwilling.

Ovid

Each man has a breaking point, no matter how strong his spirit. Somewhere, deep inside him, there is a flaw that only the fickle cruelty of fate can find.

David Gemmell

It is the fate of most men who mingle with the world, and attain even the prime of life, to make many real friends, and lose them in the course of nature. It is the fate of all authors or chroniclers to create imaginary friends, and lose them in the course of art. Nor is this the full extent of their misfortunes; for they are required to furnish an account of them besides.

Charles Dickens

I was unwilling and we remain unwilling to be part of the problem. I was unwilling to be part of the problem just to get to the office.

Amy McGrath

I have never lived the way I lived during my short time with you. For the first time in my life, I’ve felt whole, alive, free. You were the missing piece of my soul, the breath in my lungs, the blood in my veins. I think that if past lives are real then we have been lovers in every single one of them. I’ve known you for a short time, but I feel like I’ve known you forever

J.A. Redmerski
