From this experience I understood the danger of focusing only on what isn't there. What if I came to the end of my life and realized that I'd spent every day watching for a man who would never come to me? What an unbearable sorrow it would be, to realize I'd never really tasted the things I'd eaten, or seen the places I'd been, because I'd thought of nothing but the Chairman even while my life was drifting away from me. And yet if I drew my thoughts back from him, what life would I have? I would be like a dancer who had practiced since childhood for a performance she would never give. (Quote by - Arthur Golden)
We need more understanding of human nature, because the only real danger that exists is man himself . . . We know nothing of man, far too little. His psyche should be studied because we are the origin of all coming evil. (Quote by - Carl Gustav Jung)
Man could escape danger only by renouncing adventure, by abandoning that which has given to the human condition its unique character and genius among the rest of living things. (Quote by - Rene Dubois)
In Republics, the great danger is, that the majority may not sufficiently respect the rights of the minority. (Quote by - James Madison)
Real valor consists not in being insensible to danger; but in being prompt to confront and disarm it. (Quote by - Sir Walter Scott)
The real danger from advertising is that it helps to shatter and ultimately destroy our most precious non-material possessions: the confidence in the existence of meaningful purposes of human activity and respect for the integrity of man. (Quote by - Paul Sweezy)
I didn't like the urgency, the pace of the game in the first half. We really didn't make dangerous crosses in and make the goalie make any difficult decisions. After Roland's semi-breakaway at the beginning, we really didn't have it. (Quote by - Neil Roberts)
Danger lies in the writer becoming the victim of his own exaggeration, losing the exact notion of sincerity, and in the end coming to despise truth itself as something too cold, too blunt for his purpose -- as, in fact, not good enough for his insistent emotion. From laughter and tears the descent is easy to sniveling and giggles. (Quote by - Joseph Conrad)
Unquestionably, it was going to be highly dangerous. Yet I felt it was quite natural to jump at the task. After all, if you don't like action and excitement, you don't go into police work. And, what the hell, I figured, nobody lives forever!. (Quote by - Eliot Ness)
The framers of the constitution knew human nature as well as we do. They too had lived in dangerous days; they too knew the suffocating influence of orthodoxy and standardized thought. They weighed the compulsions for restrained speech and thought against the abuses of liberty. They chose liberty. (Quote by - William Orville Douglas)
Thank Heaven! The crisis /The danger is past, and the lingering illness, is over at last /, and the fever called ''Living'' is conquered at last. (Quote by - Edgar Allan Poe)
The arbitrary rule of a just and enlightened prince is always bad. His virtues are the most dangerous and the surest form of seduction: they lull a people imperceptibly into the habit of loving, respecting, and serving his successor, whoever that successor may be, no matter how wicked or stupid. (Quote by - Denis Diderot)
The more hidden the venom, the more dangerous it is. (Quote by - Marguerite De Valois)
I'm probably one of the most dangerous men in the world if I want to be. But I never wanted to be anything but me. (Quote by - Charles Manson)
