Generosity wins favour for everyone, especially when it is accompanied by modesty.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Innocence, Once Lost, Can Never Be Regained. Darkness, Once Gazed Upon, Can Never Be Lost.

John Milton

But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.

John Adams

...Cities may be rebuilt, and a People reduced to Poverty, may acquire fresh Property: But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty once lost is lost forever. When the People once surrendered their share in the Legislature, and their Right of defending the Limitations upon the Government, and of resisting every Encroachment upon them, they can never regain it.

John Adams

When modesty has once perished, it will never revive.

Seneca the Younger

Fidelity to conscience is inconsistent with retiring modesty. If it be so, let the modesty succumb. It can be only a false modesty which can be thus endangered.

Harriet Martineau

Confidence, like the soul, never returns whence it has once departed

Publilius Syrus

Love, like reputation, once fled, never returns more.

Aphra Behn

Most governments do have inbuilt biases in favour of the rich and powerful, and most do contain plenty of manipulators who love intrigue, who have lost whatever moral compass they may once have had and who protect themselves with steely cynicism.

Geoff Mulgan

The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I never was lost. I was bewildered right bad once for as much as a week, but not lost.

Elizabeth Madox Roberts

Art of all periods teaches us that humanity changes, and that a period, once past, never returns.

Philipp Otto Runge

We have lost morals, justice, honor, piety and faith, and that sense of shame which, once lost, can never be restored.

Seneca the Younger

Money lost, something lost. Honor lost, much lost. Courage lost, everything lost-better you were never born

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I was never ruined but twice: once when I lost a lawsuit, and once when I won one.

Voltaire

All of imagination - everything that we think, we feel, we sense - comes through the human brain. And once we create new patterns in this brain, once we shape the brain in a new way, it never returns to its original shape.

Jay S. Walker
