Envy's a sharper spur than pay.

John Gay

perhaps there's no sharper spur to meditation than answered prayer.

Hortense Calisher

Envy's a sharper spur than pay: No author ever spar'd a brother; Wits are gamecocks to one another.

John Gay

I don't think victory over death... is anything so superficial as a person fulfilling their normal span of life. It can be twofold; a victory over death by the man who faces it for himself without fear, and a victory by those who, loving him, know that death is but a little thing compared with the fact that he lived and was the kind of person he was.

Vera Brittain

Man is more sensitive to the contempt of others than to self-contempt.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Those who are condemned to death affect sometimes a constancy and contempt for death which is only the fear of facing it; so that one may say that this constancy and contempt are to their mind what the bandage is to their eyes.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The birth of Christ our Lord was more than an incident, it was an epoch in the history of the world... He came to teach us the character of God, and by example and precept pointed out the path which, if we walk in it, will lead us back into his presence. He came to break the bands of death with which man was bound, and made possible the resurrection by which the grave is robbed of its victory and death of its sting.

Heber J. Grant

Man is more sensitive to the contempt that others feel towards him than to the contempt that he feels towards himself.

Friedrich Nietzsche

We must make a great difference between God's Word and the word of man. A man's word is a little sound, that flies into the air, and soon vanishes; but the Word of God is greater than heaven and earth, yea, greater than death and hell, for it forms part of the power of God, and endures everlastingly.

Martin Luther

A man may be sharper than another, but not than all others.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Anticipation leads the way to victory, and is the spur to conquest.

Nicolas Chamfort

It seems to me impossible for a civilized man to love or worship, or respect the God of the Old Testament. A really civilized man, a really civilized woman, must hold such a God in abhorrence and contempt... In the New Testament, death is not the end, but the beginning of punishment that has no end. In the New Testament the malice of God is infinite and the hunger of his revenge eternal... This frightful dogma, this infinite lie, made me the implacable enemy of Christianity. The truth is that this belief in eternal pain has been the real persecutor.

Robert Green Ingersoll

I appeal to the people to vote for BJP in 2019 as it will be your victory, the victory of the country and also the victory of facilities that you will be given.

Kirron Kher

An Englishman fears contempt more than death.

Oliver Goldsmith

the first quality of an honest man is contempt for religion, which would have us afraid of the most natural thing in the world, which is death; and would have us hate the one beautiful thing destiny has given us, which is life.

Umberto Eco

I think God rarely gives to one man, or one set of men, more than one great moral victory to win.

Lucy Stone
