And if the civilized man's pursuits are no worthier than the savage's, if he is employed the greater part of his life in obtaininggross necessaries and comforts merely, why should he have a better dwelling than the former?

Henry David Thoreau

Man no longer lives in the beginning--he has lost the beginning. Now he finds he is in the middle, knowing neither the end nor the beginning, and yet knowing that he is in the middle, coming from the beginning and going towards the end. He sees that his life is determined by these two facets, of which he knows only that he does not know them

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

The biggest happiness is when at the end of the year you feel better than at the beginning

Daniel Handler

No mistake is more to be deplored than the conception that a system of morals and religion should derive any portion of its authority either from the circumstance of its novelty or its antiquity, that it should be judged excellent, not because it is reasonable or true, but because no person has ever thought of it before, or because it has been thought of from the beginning of time.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Reasonable men are not reasonable when you're in the bubbles which have characterized capitalism since the beginning of time.

Paul Samuelson

it is always easier to see the beginning from the end, than the end from the beginning.

Man is not an end but a beginning. We are at the beginning of the second week. We are children of the eighth day.

Thornton Wilder

Man is not an end but a beginning. We are at the beginning of the second week. We are children of the eighth day

Thornton Wilder

The beginning is never the clear, precise end of a thread, the beginning is a long, painfully slow process that requires time and patience in order to find out in which direction it is heading, a process that feels its way along the path ahead like a blind man the beginning is just the beginning, what came before is nigh on worthless.

Jose Saramago
