Plutarch
Greek - Philosopher

All the crimes on earth do not destroy so many of the human race nor alienate so much property as drunkenness.

Francis Bacon

In transmitting the dharma, there is neither explanation nor teaching; there is neighter hearing nor attainment. Since explanations never really explains, nor are they able to teach, why talk about it? Since listening isn't really hearing or attaining anything, then why listen? But say, since it cannot be explained or heard, how can you enter the Way? But down the bagagge, take of the blinders, and see for yourself that this very place is the valley of the endless spring, this very body is the body of the universe. At such a time, who is it who can accompany this?

John Daido Loori

To be governed ... is to be watched, inspected, directed, indoctrinated, numbered, estimated, regulated, commanded, controlled, law-driven, preached at, spied upon, censured, checked, valued, enrolled - by creatures who have neither the right, nor the wisdom, nor the virtue to do so.

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

Not afraid of poverty and drabness and who is untouched by it, untouched by the drunkenness of her friends; (she) who judges, selects, discards people with severity, who knows, when she is telling her endless anecdotes, that they are ways of escape, keeping herself all the more secret behind that profuse talk.

Anais Nin

When I said that the court should be willing to suffer even intemperate criticism, I did not mean that people should level intemperate criticism. What I said is even if criticism is intemperate or unfair and bordering on scurrilous and abusive, it will be understood for what it is by the people.

Prashant Bhushan

That the women of the Old Testament were dressed with oriental richness there is no doubt, nor are they censured for so arraying themselves.

Charlotte Mary Yonge

Intemperate wits will spare neither friend nor foe, and make themselves the common enemies of mankind.

Roger L'Estrange

Sometimes I believe that the reason I have been able to do such exemplary work on the screen is because this is the only place I can be free, neither censured nor judged.

Louis Gossett, Jr.

To commit suicide is easy. To live without a god is more difficult. The drunkenness of triumph is greater than the drunkenness of sacrifice.

Anais Nin

None of us are so much praised or censured as we think.

Charles Caleb Colton

Some people are like that - closed - they can't learn from anyone. Us, for example, we can't learn anything, neither I from you nor you from me, nor from anyone, nor from anything, nor from what happens.

Marguerite Duras

Endless cricket, like endless anything else, simply grinds you down.

Ted Dexter

Man, being the servant and interpreter of Nature, can do and understand so much and so much only as he has observed in fact or thought of the course of nature; beyond this he neither knows anything nor can do anything.

Francis Bacon

Drunkenness is never anything but a substitute for happiness.

Andre Gide

The life of children, as much as that of intemperate men, is wholly governed by their desires.

Aristotle

There's much talk about the problems of youth, but young people are not a problem. It's a natural evolution of things. We, who have known only how to make war and slaughter people, have no right to judge them, nor can we teach them anything.

Michelangelo Antonioni
