Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.
Show me a thoroughly satisfied man - and I will show you a failure.
Restlessness is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.
Show me a satisfied man, and I'll show you a failure.
Show me a thoroughly contented person, and I will show you a useless one.
Show me the prison, Show me the jail, Show me the prisoner whose life has gone stale. And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why And there, but for fortune, go you or I.
When secularization has had its full sway, it will leave a generation devoid of shame. And if you show me a generation that lacks shame, I will show you a generation that is monstrous in its appetite... never satisfied.
Show me a man who makes no mistakes, and I will show you a man who doesn't do things.
Show me a man with very little money and I will show you a bum.
Show me the man who has enjoyed his schooldays and I will show you a bully and a bore.
Don't help me or serve me, but let me see it once, because I need it. Don't work for my happiness, my brothers — show me yours — show me that it is possible — show me your achievement — and the knowledge will give me courage for mine.
Show me the man who would go to heaven alone if he could, and in that man I will show you one who will never be admitted into heaven.
Show me a good and gracious loser and I'll show you a failure.
Show me a completely contented person and I'll show you a failure.
Show me anger and I will show you 'Hurt'. Show me hurt and I will show you 'Love'. Peel the layers if you care!
I've come to this belief that, if you show me a woman who can sit with a man in real vulnerability, in deep fear, and be with him in it, I will show you a woman who, A, has done her work and, B, does not derive her power from that man. And if you show me a man who can sit with a woman in deep struggle and vulnerability and not try to fix it, but just hear her and be with her and hold space for it, I'll show you a guy who's done his work and a man who doesn't derive his power from controlling and fixing everything.
Show me a gracious loser and I'll show you a failure.
