Democracy… while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.

A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.
223
The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.

I’m very moody, so I dress for whatever mood I’m in. Sometimes I want to be a little more boyish and flowy and comfortable. Sometimes I want to feel a little sexier and more composed.
232

234
We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country.

236
Talkers are usually more articulate than doers, since talk is their specialty.
237
If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it.
238
A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.
239
You got to have a strong mind if you fall back. When you fall back, they going to count you out. So you got to have a strong mind and know your worth. When you come back, you’ve got to be different and even more better.

Waiting is a period of learning. The longer we wait, the more we hear about him for whom we are waiting.
241
Patience and time do more than strength or passion.

244
Work is much more fun than fun.
Noel Coward
245
An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.
246
A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
247
As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.
248
For less than the cost of a Big Mac, fries and a Coke, you can buy a loaf of fresh bread and some good cheese or roast beef, which you will enjoy much more.
249
As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what’s happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don’t seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.
250
Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.
251
If you need more than 10 rounds to hunt, and some argue they hunt with that many rounds, you shouldn’t be hunting. If you can’t get the deer in 3 shots, you shouldn’t be hunting. You are an embarrassment.
252
Self-righteousness has killed more people than smoking.
253
The more things are forbidden, the more popular they become.

Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery will.
256
Nothing shows a man’s character more than what he laughs at.
257

262
Girls are capable of doing everything men are capable of doing. Sometimes they have more imagination than men.
Katherine Johnson
263
The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings – words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out.
264
I hate to lose more than I love to win.
265
Love is a really scary thing, and you never know what’s going to happen. It’s one of the most beautiful things in life, but it’s one of the most terrifying. It’s worth the fear because you have more knowledge, experience, you learn from people, and you have memories.
266
A good society is characterised not just by liberty but by mutual respect and responsibility. When this breaks down it takes a lot more than police officers to put things right.
267
I’ve been told that having an Instagram account will help me book more roles, get more endorsement deals. It makes you more of a brand. But I’m not interested. I want to build my fan base through movies and movies alone.
268
I do not like broccoli. And I haven‘t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I’m President of the United States and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
279
If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.
280
Money doesn’t mean anything to me. I’ve made a lot of money, but I want to enjoy life and not stress myself building my bank account. I give lots away and live simply, mostly out of a suitcase in hotels. We all know that good health is much more important.
281
Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.
282
In the eye of the tornado, there’s no more high and low, no floor and sky.
Francis Alys

We have two ears and one tongue so that we would listen more and talk less.
Diogenes
284
Ethics are more important than laws.
285
Creativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing. Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting.
286
You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.
287
I enjoy nothing more than spending time with my loved ones, young and old, and at least once a year we get together for a formal family photograph.

289
The Secretary of Hygiene or Physical Culture will be far more important in the cabinet of the President of the United States who holds office in the year 2035 than the Secretary of War.

291
The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
292
My doctor tells me I should start slowing it down – but there are more old drunks than there are old doctors so let’s all have another round.
293

297

298
My path has not been determined. I shall have more experiences and pass many more milestones.
299
Good words cool more than cold water.
John Ray

Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.
309
People pay for what they do, and still more for what they have allowed themselves to become. And they pay for it very simply; by the lives they lead.
310
It is just that we should be grateful, not only to those with whose views we may agree, but also to those who have expressed more superficial views; for these also contributed something, by developing before us the powers of thought.

315
When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.
Tecumseh

Investing should be more like watching paint dry or watching grass grow. If you want excitement, take $800 and go to Las Vegas.
320
The older I get, the more I’m conscious of ways very small things can make a change in the world. Tiny little things, but the world is made up of tiny matters, isn’t it?
321
Older women know who they are, and that makes them more beautiful than younger ones. I like to see a face with some character. I want to see lines. I want to see wrinkles.
322
It has never been, and never will be easy work! But the road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination.
Marion Zimmer Bradley
323
Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.
324
One of the more difficult tasks for me as president was to decide on the issue of confirming capital punishment awarded by courts… to my surprisealmost all cases which were pending had a social and economic bias.
325
To be a king and wear a crown is a thing more glorious to them that see it than it is pleasant to them that bear it.

329
Fashions have done more harm than revolutions.
330
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
331
To be more childlike, you don’t have to give up being an adult. The fully integrated person is capable of being both an adult and a child simultaneously. Recapture the childlike feelings of wide-eyed excitement, spontaneous appreciation, cutting loose, and being full of awe and wonder at this magnificent universe.
332
There is nothing more fearful for the average person in our society than to stand before a group of people and speak.

341
Silence is more eloquent than words.
342
I feel like my style’s always been influenced by ‘less is more.’ The coolest styles are kind of simple and classic, like a white T-shirt and jeans. Maybe you have a cool belt and cool shoes, but everything else you keep simple.
343
It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has.
344
Do more than is required. What is the distance between someone who achieves their goals consistently and those who spend their lives and careers merely following? The extra mile.
Gary Ryan Blair
345
The great thing about getting older is that you become more mellow. Things aren’t as black and white, and you become much more tolerant. You can see the good in things much more easily rather than getting enraged as you used to do when you were young.
346
This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: in a word, more alive.
347
Synergy is what happens when one plus one equals ten or a hundred or even a thousand! It’s the profound result when two or more respectful human beings determine to go beyond their preconceived ideas to meet a great challenge.
348
The great powers of the world may have done wonders in giving the world an industrial look, but the great gift still has to come from Africa – giving the world a more human face.

I don’t know who my grandfather was; I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.
350
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
351
So a good teacher always makes you do something a little bit more than you thought that you could do.
352
Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A world of optimism and hope. A ‘you can do it‘ when things are tough.
353
It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.
354
Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable.

Homer
359
The more people who are dependent on government handouts, the more votes the left can depend on for an ever-expanding welfare state.
360
We must no more ask whether the soul and body are one than ask whether the wax and the figure impressed on it are one.
361
I view Bitcoin as the more democratic version of money and value transfer because no one controls it… I expect the Internet to be around longer than any nation-state, so a nation-state-backed currency is actually less safe than an Internet currency in my mind.
362
The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one’s appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.
Amelia Earhart
363

Marta
365
I feel like I’m opening the doors for more people. That they feel more comfortable being out. Especially in the hip-hop community.
366
I think it is all a matter of love: the more you love a memory, the stronger and stranger it is.
367
Behaving like a princess is work. It’s not just about looking beautiful or wearing a crown. It’s more about how you are inside.
368
Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.
369
Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.
Joseph Stalin
370
There is more hooey spread about the Second Amendment. It says quite clearly that guns are for those who form part of a well-regulated militia, i.e., the armed forces including the National Guard. The reasons for keeping them away from everyone else get clearer by the day.
371
Money has never made man happy, nor will it, there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has the more one wants.

The digital revolution is far more significant than the invention of writing or even of printing.
Douglas Engelbart
376
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.
377
I would like to be remembered as a man who had a wonderful time living life, a man who had good friends, fine family – and I don’t think I could ask for anything more than that, actually.

385
Money can’t buy you happiness but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.
386
More law, less justice.
387
Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.
388
I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self.

Stress is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of mental illness.
Richard Carlson

Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it’s much more serious than that.
Bill Shankly
392
Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.
393
They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they never kept but one; they promised to take our land, and they took it.
Red Cloud
394
Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.
395
Be courageous. I have seen many depressions in business. Always America has emerged from these stronger and more prosperous. Be brave as your fathers before you. Have faith! Go forward!
396
The more in harmony with yourself you are, the more joyful you are and the more faithful you are. Faith is not to disconnect you from reality – it connects you to reality.
397
I firmly believe that respect is a lot more important, and a lot greater, than popularity.
398
Tequila. Straight. There’s a real polite drink. You keep drinking until you finally take one more and it just won’t go down. Then you know you’ve reached your limit.
Lee Marvin
399
More compassionate mind, more sense of concern for other’s well-being, is source of happiness.
400
I still believe that if your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate short-term weapon.
401
It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one’s life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than ‘try to be a little kinder.’
402
I’ve heard there are troubles of more than one kind; some come from ahead, and some come from behind. But I’ve brought a big bat. I’m all ready, you see; now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!
403
If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do.
404
Passion is one great force that unleashes creativity, because if you’re passionate about something, then you’re more willing to take risks.
405
People fear death even more than pain. It’s strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend.
406
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
407
For true love is inexhaustible; the more you give, the more you have. And if you go to draw at the true fountainhead, the more water you draw, the more abundant is its flow.
408
Basically, at the very bottom of life, which seduces us all, there is only absurdity, and more absurdity. And maybe that’s what gives us our joy for living, because the only thing that can defeat absurdity is lucidity.
409
History is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
410
As long as you keep going, you’ll keep getting better. And as you get better, you gain more confidence. That alone is success.
411
It’s a small percentage of people who do the 80-hour-a-week high-powered career thing, and they’re almost all men. Why? Well, men are driven by socio-economic status more than women.
412
A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.
413
A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.
Bruce Lee

415
Men are more easily governed through their vices than through their virtues.
416
If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom, and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too.
417
There’s no question that as science, knowledge and technology advance, that we will attempt to do more significant things. And there’s no question that we will always have to temper those things with ethics.
418
A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
419
Fears are nothing more than a state of mind.
420
Virtue is persecuted more by the wicked than it is loved by the good.
421
If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.
422
It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures.
423
Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.
424
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
425
Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.
426
Nothing is more beautiful than the love that has weathered the storms of life. The love of the young for the young, that is the beginning of life. But the love of the old for the old, that is the beginning of things longer.
Jerome K. Jerome
427
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
428
I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.
429
The good life consists in deriving happiness by using your signature strengths every day in the main realms of living. The meaningful life adds one more component: using these same strengths to forward knowledge, power or goodness.
430
During natural disasters or emergencies, the most resilient communitiesplaces that suffer the fewest casualties and rebuild more quickly – are not the wealthiest neighborhoods or ones that have spent the most on physical infrastructure, but rather the communities with the strongest social infrastructure.
431
Jealousy contains more of self-love than of love.
432
It is vain to do with more what can be done with fewer.
William of Occam
433
As long as you keep going, you’ll keep getting better. And as you get better, you gain more confidence. That alone is success.
434
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
435
Whatever I start living like and whatever I start going through in my life, that’s how I’m gonna be sounding. It might sound a little different if I get more comfortable.
Fivio Foreign
436
There is not a more repulsive spectacle than on old man who will not forsake the world, which has already forsaken him.
437
I believe our flag is more than just cloth and ink. It is a universally recognized symbol that stands for liberty, and freedom. It is the history of our nation, and it’s marked by the blood of those who died defending it.
438
People who work sitting down get paid more than people who work standing up.
439
The more I learn about things, I realise how wrong I was before.
440
The higher we are placed, the more humbly we should walk.
441
I seek truth over a lie; I seek justice over injustice; I seek righteousness over the rewards of evildoers, and I love Allah more than I love the state.
442
The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven‘s sake.
443
Our sins are more easily remembered than our good deeds.
Democritus
444
I’ve found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.
445
It is our choices… that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
446
You may say, ‘Well, dragons don’t exist.’ It’s, like, yes they do – the categorypredator‘ and the category ‘dragon‘ are the same category. It absolutely exists. It’s a superordinate category. It exists absolutely more than anything else. In fact, it really exists.
447
I don’t think we need more gun control laws.
448
I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me – they’re cramming for their final exam.

The more often we see the things around us – even the beautiful and wonderful things – the more they become invisible to us. That is why we often take for granted the beauty of this world: the flowers, the trees, the birds, the clouds – even those we love. Because we see things so often, we see them less and less.

When you snatch little pieces of other people’s lives and try to palm them off as your own, that’s more disgusting than anything. Robin Williams is a huge thief. Denis Leary is a huge thief. His whole stand-up career is based on Bill Hicks, a brilliant guy who died years ago.
458
To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.

A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
475

477

496
Sometimes we make the process more complicated than we need to. We will never make a journey of a thousand miles by fretting about how long it will take or how hard it will be. We make the journey by taking each day step by step and then repeating it again and again until we reach our destination.

We’re put here on Earth to learn our own lessons. No one can tell you what your lessons are; it is part of your personal journey to discover them. On these journeys we may be given a lot, or just a little bit, of the things we must grapple with, but never more than we can handle.
522

542
I bet taxpayers remember providing more than $812 billion to Citigroup and Bank of America, two Wall Street banks, in 2009 to bail them out during the 2008 financial crisis. Taxpayers remember that generosity; big banks evidently don’t.

584
I suppose being fierce is a very good thing, and a very cool thing. But more than fierce, I think I’m a strong person and a strong individual. And that’s what I take with me every day.
585
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
