In an open society, no idea can be above scrutiny, just as no people should be beneath dignity.
221
I believe art has to take responsibility but it should not give up being art.
Anselm Kiefer
222
While we should never give up our principles, we must also realize that we cannot maintain our principles unless we survive.
223
Swans sing before they die – ’twere no bad thing should certain persons die before they sing.
224
A woman’s dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view.
225
I hate stupid people. They should have to wear signs that just say, ‘I’m stupid.’
226
Anybody who thinks talk is cheap should get some legal advice.
Franklin P. Jones
227
We should seek by all means in our power to avoid war, by analysing possible causes, by trying to remove them, by discussion in a spirit of collaboration and good will.
Neville Chamberlain
228
All of us should be on guard against beliefs that flatter ourselves. At the very least, we should check such beliefs against facts.
229
People think modeling‘s mindless, that you just stand there and pose, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I like to have a lot of input. I know how to wear a dress, whether it should be shot with me standing or sitting.
230
I’m black, so I should be able to play a ‘thug?’ No. Hello. Open your mind. I’m a person that believes in breaking barriers.
231
A man should be upright, not be kept upright.
232
The principles that should guide American foreign policy are simple: the world is safer when America leads, only strength ensures peace and freedom, and America must stand with its allies and challenge its adversaries.
233
The use of sanitary pads and the dos and don’ts should be discussed with openness so as to make a hygienic and healthy life for the women.
234
The solution as consumers is – perhaps surprisingly – to take adverts very, very seriously. We should ask ourselves what it is that we find lovely in them – the visions of friendship, togetherness, repose, or whatever. And then consider what would actually help us find these qualities in our lives.
235
I am an atheist, and I believe that religion should not be in the classrooms; it has to be in the churches. In the classrooms, you have to form citizenship, not people with religious beliefs, that corresponds to the private sphere.
Pedro Sanchez
236
Too many people measure how successful they are by how much money they make or the people that they associate with. In my opinion, true success should be measured by how happy you are.
237
It is more dangerous that even a guilty person should be punished without the forms of law than that he should escape.
238
As far as I’m concerned, it’s a damned shame that a field as potentially dynamic and vital as journalism should be overrun with dullards, bums, and hacks, hag-ridden with myopia, apathy, and complacence, and generally stuck in a bog of stagnant mediocrity.
239
Everyone likes flattery; and when you come to Royalty you should lay it on with a trowel.
240
Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.
241
We should look to the mind, and not to the outward appearance.
242
The time when most of you should withdraw into yourself is when you are forced to be in a crowd.
Epicurus
243
The fact that I am blind is not what defines my life. It should be of no more interest than my blood type. People wonder if there is a relationship between my lack of sight and the way I sing. But there’s no connection.
244
No self-respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party who ignores her sex.
245
I learned, when I look in the mirror and tell my story, that I should be myself and not peep whatever everybody is doing.
246
If one is going to err, one should err on the side of liberty and freedom.
247
We should all learn from our experiences, but I don’t think hatred is the best way to deal with ignorance.
248
Exercise should be regarded as tribute to the heart.
Gene Tunney
249
Love shouldn’t be about jealousy or anything like that. It should be about commitment and being able to trust that person. If you can’t have that from the get-go, there’s a problem.
Aaron Carter
250
Israel is too attached to America, too influenced by America. It should be connected to Europe. America is based on mythology – the free man, the individual, the open frontier. Europe is more conscious of history. Take Britain and Shakespeare. You shape your identity through history.
251
Maybe I should just go home and ride my tractor.
252
Charity begins at home, but should not end there.
253
People with visions should go to the doctor.
254
It is essential that there should be organization of labor. This is an era of organization. Capital organizes and therefore labor must organize.
255
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
256
If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country.
257
The world is full of a number of things, I’m sure we should all be as happy as kings.
258
Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.
259
If you shoot at mimes, should you use a silencer?
260
Why I came here, I know not; where I shall go it is useless to inquire – in the midst of myriads of the living and the dead worlds, stars, systems, infinity, why should I be anxious about an atom?
261
How to play music may be known. At the commencement of the piece, all the parts should sound together. As it proceeds, they should be in harmony while severally distinct and flowing without break, and thus on to the conclusion.
262
Every man should keep a fair-sized cemetery in which to bury the faults of his friends.
263
If something’s important enough, you should try. Even if – the probable outcome is failure.
264
I am a generous man, by nature, and far more trusting than I should be. Indeed. The real world is risky territory for people with generosity of spirit. Beware.
265
I was always fascinated, even as a child, by antiques and ancient times. I always felt I should have been born in the 17th or 18th century. They really had a big stone castle with authentic furniture.
Margaret O’Brien
266
At this age, I should be leading a quiet life.
267
I have to ask Allah‘s forgiveness and not get angry, because they come to me out of love, and it’s not fitting that I should turn to them in hatred.
268
Those who cannot understand how to put their thoughts on ice should not enter into the heat of debate.
269
All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.
270
No one can avoid death; it is inevitable. Therefore, I should create in my mind a kind of willingness and accepting for that event without any fear.
271
A writer should have this little voice inside of you saying, Tell the truth. Reveal a few secrets here.
272
Every meal should end with something sweet. Maybe it’s jelly on toast at breakfast, or a small piece of chocolate at dinner – but it always helps my brain bring a close to the meal.
Robert Irvine
273
Proper love should be utterly supportive and comfortable, and it feels like a raincoat or a jacket potato.
274
Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.
Hippocrates
275
I have offended God and mankind because my work didn’t reach the quality it should have.
276
From my own experience, I want to say that you should follow your heart, and the mind will follow you. Believe in yourself, and you will create miracles.
277
Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains, a pretty violent image there. I think if you’ve got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it, maybe laundry isn’t your biggest problem. Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the wash.
278
Regardless of what race, what color, what sex, what nationality, what sexual orientationregardless of who you are, equality should always rule! Whatever is right for you is right. Period.
279
There should be no discrimination against languages people speak, skin color, or religion.
280
Every day without fail one should consider himself as dead. There is a saying of the elders that goes, ‘Step from under the eaves and you’re a dead man. Leave the gate and the enemy is waiting.’ This is not a matter of being careful. It is to consider oneself as dead beforehand.
Yamamoto Tsunetomo
281
I really like women who get emotional about babies and puppies. I’ve met some incredibly cool women who are tough, but the woman you marry should have a really soft side.
282
Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly.
M. F. K. Fisher
283
There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights.
Smedley Butler
284
Prayer is simply talking to God like a friend and should be the easiest thing we do each day.
285
In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.
286
You know, God will give favor to anyone who will believe Him. Every day you should confess that you have favor everywhere you go. God will begin to open doors that you wouldn’t believe.
287
There is no force like success, and that is why the individual makes all effort to surround himself throughout life with the evidence of it; as of the individual, so should it be of the nation.
288
Men should strive to think much and know little.
Democritus
289
We all have life storms, and when we get the rough times and we recover from them, we should celebrate that we got through it. No matter how bad it may seem, there’s always something beautiful that you can find.
290
The one excellent thing that can be learned from a lion is that whatever a man intends doing should be done by him with a whole-hearted and strenuous effort.
291
He who aspires to paradise should learn to deal with people with kindness.
292
The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.
John Lubbock
293
Sometimes, people aren’t as consciously aware of their decisions as they should be.
294
No disease that can be treated by diet should be treated with any other means.
295
In life, you have ups and downs, but you should never give up. You should always try to get ahead.
Yalitza Aparicio
296
You know obviously my stand on racism is that it’s unacceptable and that we should always stand up to it.
297
The first fresh hour of every morning should be dedicated to the Lord, whose mercy gladdens it with golden light.
298
Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.
299
Dogs have boundless enthusiasm but no sense of shame. I should have a dog as a life coach.
300
Life is unpredictable, and I feel, to some extent, lighting and cinematography should be a reflection of that.
301
Every man should pull a boat over a mountain once in his life.
302
A dish should have flavor, texture, appearance and smell, but I’m doing it differently. We take Chinese food, play with your sentiments, memories of it, and then take you to the border; you won’t fall over the edge, but you get excitement.
303
If I were a Roman Catholic, I should turn a heretic, in sheer desperation, because I would rather go to heaven than go to purgatory.
304
Severities should be dealt out all at once, so that their suddenness may give less offense; benefits ought to be handed ought drop by drop, so that they may be relished the more.
305
Why should we not form a secret society with but one object, the furtherance of the British Empire and the bringing of the whole world under British rule, for the recovery of the United States, for making the Anglo Saxon race but one Empire? What a dream, but yet it is probable; it is possible.
Cecil Rhodes
306
It is a tremendous act of violence to begin anything. I am not able to begin. I simply skip what should be the beginning.
307
All of Africa‘s resources should be declared resources of the state and managed by the nation. Our experience in Bolivia shows that when you take control of natural resources for the people of the town and village, major world change is possible.
308
I think people should be allowed to do anything they want. We haven‘t tried that for a while. Maybe this time it’ll work.
309
Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke. That’s their natural and first weapon. She will need her sisterhood.
310
We should learn not to hold grudges and be positive all the time because life is too short and unpredictable.
311
Almost any illiquid asset today lends itself well to moving onto the blockchain and becoming tokenized. It will create a deeper market with improved price discovery and should increase the value of those assets.
David O. Sacks
312
You shouldn’t dream your film, you should make it!
313
To sin by silence, when we should protest, Makes cowards out of men.
314
One should never forbid what one lacks the power to prevent.
315
It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.
Benjamin Britten
316
Peace, unity, love, and nonviolence should be our rallying cry and the catalyst for change in our nation.
317
A lot of times they don’t want to hear it. But you know, if some good is done to you, you should pass it on.
318
Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it’s very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.
319
Talent is given by God but you should respect it by doing good work.
320
Having read the histories of other countries, I saw that expansion was everything, and that the world’s surface being limited, the great object of present humanity should be to take as much of the world as it possibly could.
Cecil Rhodes
321
The end of all knowledge should be service to others.
322
Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough – that we should try again.
323
I think I do myself a disservice by comparing myself to Steve Jobs and Walt Disney and human beings that we’ve seen before. It should be more like Willy Wonka… and welcome to my chocolate factory.
324
In all life one should comfort the afflicted, but verily, also, one should afflict the comfortable, and especially when they are comfortably, contentedly, even happily wrong.
325
It should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid.
326
The heart and soul of good writing is research; you should write not what you know but what you can find out about.
327
I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.
328
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
329
One of the downsides of being famous is that folks pay far more attention to you than they should. American celebrities are constantly under surveillance, and every word they say is subject to scrutiny. So, be careful what you wish for if you desire fame. No human being should be a goldfish.
330
I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend?
331
Popular culture is most powerful when it offers us a vision of how our society should look – or at least reproduces our reality.
332
I have accomplished my childhood dream: to be in show business. Everybody should be so lucky to have their dreams come true. I’ve been truly blessed.
333
The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.
334
For God so loved the World that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
335
If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.
Gaston Bachelard
336
Better by far you should forget and smile that you should remember and be sad.
Christina Rossetti
337
Lean your body forward slightly to support the guitar against your chest, for the poetry of the music should resound in your heart.
Andres Segovia
338
We should never denigrate any other culture but rather help people to understand the relationship between their own culture and the dominant culture. When you understand another culture or language, it does not mean that you have to lose your own culture.
Edward T. Hall
339
You cannot define a person on just one thing. You can’t just forget all these wonderful and good things that a person has done because one thing didn’t come off the way you thought it should come off.
340
I think that the Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin, but the Bible also teaches that pride is a sin, jealousy is a sin, and hate is a sin, evil thoughts are a sin. So I don’t think that homosexuality should be chosen as the overwhelming sin that we are doing today.
341
Nothing is impossible; there are ways that lead to everything, and if we had sufficient will we should always have sufficient means. It is often merely for an excuse that we say things are impossible.
342
Aging has a wonderful beauty and we should have respect for that.
343
Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?
344
Go up close to your friend, but do not go over to him! We should also respect the enemy in our friend.
345
A woman should never be seen eating or drinking, unless it be lobster salad and Champagne, the only true feminine and becoming viands.
346
The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.
347
Some men say that they should be satisfied with the abolition of untouchability only, leaving the caste system alone. The aim of abolition of untouchability alone without trying to abolish the inequalities inherent in the caste system is a rather low aim.
348
The word ‘romance,’ according to the dictionary, means excitement, adventure, and something extremely real. Romance should last a lifetime.
349
Elections should be held on April 16th- the day after we pay our income taxes. That is one of the few things that might discourage politicians from being big spenders.
350
The Muse should be a trusted destination for answers. A hand when you need one. Someone to talk you through tough decisions or situations. A starting point.
351
A baby is God’s opinion that life should go on.
352
Whatever your life’s work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.
353
A wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart.
354
Procrastination is the bad habit of putting off until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday.
355
I don’t think Africa gets as much credit as it should have on the world stage. People tend to think of us as coming from The Dark Continent, where nothing good goes on. That’s not true. A huge amount of, as I say, entrepreneurship goes on.
Nicky Oppenheimer
356
Most of us aren’t defeated in one decisive battle. We are defeated one tiny, seemingly insignificant surrender at a time that chips away at who we should really be.
357
Meetings should have as few people as possible, but all the right people.
Charles W. Scharf
358
The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done… you lose valuable time planning what you can and will do.
359
Dogmatism and skepticism are both, in a sense, absolute philosophies; one is certain of knowing, the other of not knowing. What philosophy should dissipate is certainty, whether of knowledge or ignorance.
360
For the happiest life, days should be rigorously planned, nights left open to chance.
361
It is so characteristic, that just when the mechanics of reproduction are so vastly improved, there are fewer and fewer people who know how the music should be played.
362
If you’re going to wear a cowboy hat, you’re going to have to go all the way. You should have livestock around you, settle all of your disputes with a pistol, and ride a horse absolutely everywhere.
363
The word ‘good’ has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.
364
People don’t want to see women doing things they don’t think women should do.
365
If you like gold, there are many reasons you should like Bitcoin.
366
Men should be like Kleenex, soft, strong and disposable.
367
We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.
368
In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
369
Life goes on, and one should look ahead and not backward.
370
We’re all humans living on this tiny little rock, floating through space at, like, thousands of miles an hour. We should all just get along.
371
Now, as a nation, we don’t promise equal outcomes, but we were founded on the idea everybody should have an equal opportunity to succeed. No matter who you are, what you look like, where you come from, you can make it. That’s an essential promise of America. Where you start should not determine where you end up.
372
No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit.
373
The original idea of the web was that it should be a collaborative space where you can communicate through sharing information.
374
The petty man is eager to make boasts, yet desires that others should believe in him. He enthusiastically engages in deception, yet wants others to have affection for him. He conducts himself like an animal, yet wants others to think well of him.
375
Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man’s growth without destroying his roots.
Frank A. Clark
376
We should never forget the inevitable, as we will lose everything eventually. So, why fret over any kind of security? The idea is to just fly and experience it all while it lasts.
377
Extemporaneous speaking should be practiced and cultivated. It is the lawyer‘s avenue to the public. However able and faithful he may be in other respects, people are slow to bring him business if he cannot make a speech.
378
A man should be mourned at his birth, not at his death.
379
No statement should be believed because it is made by an authority.
380
Everybody just has different steps in their life that they take to do what they should.
381
If we had no faults of our own, we should not take so much pleasure in noticing those in others.
382
I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let’s face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what’s sexy. And men define what’s feminine. It’s ridiculous.
383
Cultivation of mind should be the ultimate aim of human existence.
384
We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.
385
You should have high expectations for yourself and others should come second.
386
The strength of a man’s virtue should not be measured by his special exertions, but by his habitual acts.
387
As I have always said, those closest to the pain should be closest to the power.
388
One should see the world, and see himself as a scale with an equal balance of good and evil. When he does one good deed the scale is tipped to the good – he and the world is saved. When he does one evil deed the scale is tipped to the bad – he and the world is destroyed.
389
We all, as individuals, can and should act compassionately and charitably. We can volunteer our time, energy, and dollars to help the underprivileged. We can feed the hungry, house the homeless. Most of us feel a moral and ethical responsibility to do so – to ‘do unto others.’
390
Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.
391
A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first.
392
393
Every day we are paying more for energy than we should due to poor insulation, inefficient lights, appliances, and heating and cooling equipment – money we could save by investing in energy efficiency.
394
No woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating.
395
I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.
396
All my life, I always wanted to be somebody. Now I see that I should have been more specific.
Jane Wagner
397
You should make something. You should bring something into the world that wasn’t in the world before. It doesn’t matter what it is. It doesn’t matter if it’s a table or a film or gardening-everyone should create. You should do something, then sit back and say, ‘I did that.’
398
Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.
399
Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.
400
The architect should strive continually to simplify; the ensemble of the rooms should then be carefully considered that comfort and utility may go hand in hand with beauty.
401
Today we know that World War II began not in 1939 or 1941 but in the 1920’s and 1930’s when those who should have known better persuaded themselves that they were not their brother’s keeper.
402
Poetry should… should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.
403
When a man points a finger at someone else, he should remember that four of his fingers are pointing at himself.
Louis Nizer
404
Everything we do should be a result of our gratitude for what God has done for us.
405
Women should be obscene and not heard.
406
Mother Nature made me the way I am, and I should be happy.
Karolina Kurkova
407
If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.
408
Some people worry that artificial intelligence will make us feel inferior, but then, anybody in his right mind should have an inferiority complex every time he looks at a flower.
409
Healthcare is a human right. No one should face bankruptcy or death because of lack of healthcare. All Americans – regardless of their health or residential status – should be able to access the healthcare they need, whenever they need it.
410
Failed plans should not be interpreted as a failed vision. Visions don’t change, they are only refined. Plans rarely stay the same, and are scrapped or adjusted as needed. Be stubborn about the vision, but flexible with your plan.
411
Welfare’s purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence.
412
We should never permit ourselves to do anything that we are not willing to see our children do.
Brigham Young
413
Concern should drive us into action and not into a depression. No man is free who cannot control himself.
Pythagoras
414
If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead.
415
No man should be in public office who can’t make more money in private life.
Thomas Dewey
416
If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door.
Harvey Milk
417
A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.
418
People should pursue what they’re passionate about. That will make them happier than pretty much anything else.
419
If it were necessary to give the briefest possible definition of imperialism, we should have to say that imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism.
420
As we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours, and this we should do freely and generously.
421
People have tried to corner the market on being offended, corner the market on language and corner the market on opinion. Should I lose my job ’cause I offended somebody? No, of course not. Your life should never be affected by public opinion.
Patrice O’Neal
422
No man should bring children into the world who is unwilling to persevere to the end in their nature and education.
423
You should not have taken advantage of my sensibility to steal into my affections without my consent.
424
A man should not strive to eliminate his complexes but to get into accord with them: they are legitimately what directs his conduct in the world.
425
John Muir, the famous naturalist, wrote in his journal that you should never go to Alaska as a young man because you’ll never be satisfied with any other place as long as you live. And there’s a lot of truth to that.
426
Every single university student should study philosophy. You need to lead the examined life and question your beliefs. If you don’t learn critical thinking, then political debate degenerates into a contest of slogans.
427
A wise man should so write (though in words understood by all men) that wise men only should be able to commend him.
428
God requires his people to shine as lights in the world. It is not merely the ministers who are required to do this, but every disciple of Christ. Their conversation should be heavenly.
429
I soothe my conscience now with the thought that it is better for hard words to be on paper than that Mummy should carry them in her heart.
430
It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.
431
Men should be either treated generously or destroyed, because they take revenge for slight injuries – for heavy ones they cannot.
432
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image.
433
The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.
434
The world is so full of a number of things, I’m sure we should all be as happy as kings.
435
I don’t think that architecture is only about shelter, is only about a very simple enclosure. It should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think.
436
We should take care not to make the intellect our goal; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.
437
Your karma should be good, and everything else will follow. Your good karma will always win over your bad luck.
438
Football should never be a worry. It should be exciting. When a child plays football outside, he doesn’t need to worry. Professionals should be the same.
439
Sisters, when about their work, should not put on clothing which would make them look like images to frighten the crows from the corn. It is more gratifying to their husbands and children to see them in a becoming, well-fitting, attire, than it can be to merely visitors or strangers.
440
Great literature should do some good to the reader: must quicken his perception though dull, and sharpen his discrimination though blunt, and mellow the rawness of his personal opinions.
A. E. Housman
441
Patriotism, when it wants to make itself felt in the domain of learning, is a dirty fellow who should be thrown out of doors.
442
It is a matter of shame that in the morning the birds should be awake earlier than you.
443
These words dropped into my childish mind as if you should accidentally drop a ring into a deep well. I did not think of them much at the time, but there came a day in my life when the ring was fished up out of the well, good as new.
444
Children should neither be seen or heard from – ever again.
445
Music is forever; music should grow and mature with you, following you right on up until you die.
446
Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.
Joseph Stalin
447
When we see persons of worth, we should think of equaling them; when we see persons of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.
448
If there’s any message to my work, it is ultimately that it’s OK to be different, that it’s good to be different, that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different, behaves different, talks different, is a different color.
449
I may be old-fashioned. But I believe there is such a thing as a search for beauty – a delight in the nice things in the world. And I don’t think one should have to apologise for it.
Saul Leiter
450
One should accept failure, and be willing to learn, unlearn and relearn again.
451
Life should be great rather than long.
452
Racism is a grown-up disease, and we should stop using our kids to spread it.
453
There is a moral obligation that those who have should give to those who don’t.
454
Cinema should make you forget you are sitting in a theater.
Roman Polanski
455
There’s two sorts of fear: one you embrace and one you should listen to and turn the other way.
456
We should measure welfare‘s success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added.
457
Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.
Hypatia
458
We must cultivate our own garden. When man was put in the garden of Eden he was put there so that he should work, which proves that man was not born to rest.
459
I think people should have fun. And don’t get so down on yourself. Enjoy life and be the best person you can be.
460
We should have a great fewer disputes in the world if words were taken for what they are, the signs of our ideas only, and not for things themselves.
461
African art is functional, it serves a purpose. It’s not a dormant. It’s not a means to collect the largest cheering section. It should be healing, a source a joy. Spreading positive vibrations.
462
How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else.
463
The best weapon of a dictatorship is secrecy, but the best weapon of a democracy should be the weapon of openness.
Niels Bohr
464
No idea is so outlandish that it should not be considered with a searching but at the same time a steady eye.
465
No psychologist should pretend to understand what he does not understand… Only fools and charlatans know everything and understand nothing.
466
A society should be judged by how it treats its children. A country that fails to invest in its children is imperilling its future.
467
Nation should be rest assured Pakistan is a safe atomic power. No one can cast an evil eye on it.
468
Old women should not seek to be perfumed.
Archilochus
469
With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.
470
We should not be afraid to go into a new era, to leave the old beyond.
471
Five enemies of peace inhabit with us – avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride; if these were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace.
Petrarch
472
Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto.
473
If children grew up according to early indications, we should have nothing but geniuses.
474
Public servants should be focused on serving the public – not any special interest group, and good governance should be an expectation – not an exception.
475
You should never undermine friendship and loyalty.
476
Science is a beautiful gift to humanity; we should not distort it.
477
Trust has to be earned, and should come only after the passage of time.
Arthur Ashe
478
Beauty is subjective and should not be limited to only what we see on the outside.
479
Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein.
Joe Theismann
480
If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person’s life in a positive light, and that’s what I want to do. That’s what it’s all about.
481
Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it ‘the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.’ The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of ‘Artist.’
482
Man should not consider his material possession his own, but as common to all, so as to share them without hesitation when others are in need.
483
But he that dares not grasp the thorn Should never crave the rose.
Anne Bronte
484
Now, I think that I should have known that he was magic all along. I did know it – but I should have guessed that it would be too much to ask to grow old with and see our children grow up together. So now, he is a legend when he would have preferred to be a man.
485
Every great film should seem new every time you see it.
486
At sunrise everything is luminous but not clear. It is those we live with and love and should know who elude us. You can love completely without complete understanding.
Norman Maclean
487
I don’t wait for the calendar to figure out when I should live life.
488
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.
489
Those who give themselves to prayer should in a special manner have always a devotion to St. Joseph; for I know not how any man can think of the Queen of the angels, during the time that she suffered so much with the Infant Jesus, without giving thanks to St. Joseph for the services he rendered them then.
490
If, then, you are looking for the way by which you should go, take Christ, because He Himself is the way.
491
People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.
492
If you are a leader, you should never forget that everyone needs encouragement. And everyone who receives it – young or old, successful or less-than-successful, unknown or famous – is changed by it.
493
A hat should be taken off when you greet a lady and left off for the rest of your life. Nothing looks more stupid than a hat.
494
He who wants to persuade should put his trust not in the right argument, but in the right word. The power of sound has always been greater than the power of sense.
495
We should not say that one man’s hour is worth another man‘s hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the most time’s carcass.
496
Don’t try to change anybody. And they should let you be yourself, ‘You loved me when you met me, so let’s keep going!’
497
I should like to lie at your feet and die in your arms.
498
Why should I care what other people think of me? I am who I am. And who I wanna be.
499
Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that it is he who is asked.
500
The way I see it, you should live everyday like its your birthday.
501
If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it.
502
Politics is a noble activity. We should revalue it, practise it with vocation and a dedication that requires testimony, martyrdom, that is to die for the common good.
503
If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today.
504
A museum is a place where one should lose one’s head.
505
Experience should be a plus as long as it doesn’t become complacency. If you say, ‘We’re not going to change; we didn’t do it that way before,’ then you’ve become too old.
506
People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.
507
Dance is for everybody. I believe that the dance came from the people and that it should always be delivered back to the people.
Alvin Ailey
508
If you are seeing something for the first time, one of your first reactions should be fascination.
509
One should not confuse the craving for life with endorsement of it.
510
Teaching is a profession in which capacity building should occur at every stage of the career – novices working with accomplished colleagues, skillful teachers sharing their craft, and opportunities for teacher leadership.
511
Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history.
512
You should never meet your heroes. Paul Newman… I was so excited about meeting him, but he turned up in shell suit bottoms, slippers, and a jumper. He was just so worn out and old, he wanted to go home.
Allan Carr
513
Racists seem obsessed by the idea that illegal workers – the hardest-working, poorest people in America – are somehow getting away with something, sneaking goodies that should be for Americans. You can always avoid this problem by having no social services. This is the refreshing Texas model, and it works a treat.
514
A budget should reflect the values and priorities of our nation and its people.
Mary Landrieu
515
A beautiful woman should break her mirror early.
516
We’re all going to die, all of us; what a circus! That alone should make us love each other, but it doesn’t. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities. We are eaten up by nothing.
517
Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer to your goal.
518
I believe everyone should be equal, and we should all love and support each other and express ourselves the way we want to express ourselves and be whoever we want. That’s my motto.
519
Treat a person as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a person as if he were where he could be and should be, and he will become what he could be and should be.
520
Not everybody is perfect, and I don’t think we should be looking for perfect people.
521
I figured I should have a website, because that’s what everybody was doing.
522
Many people feel so pressured by the expectations of others that it causes them to be frustrated, miserable and confused about what they should do. But there is a way to live a simple, joy-filled, peaceful life, and the key is learning how to be led by the Holy Spirit, not the traditions or expectations of man.
523
A bridge is born of necessity, but it must establish its own identity. It should harmonize with its surroundings, and the design must transcend the purely local and transform the setting.
524
Grades don’t measure tenacity, courage, leadership, guts or whatever you want to call it. Teachers or any other persons in a position of authority should never tell anybody they will not succeed because they did not get all A’s in school.
Thomas J. Stanley
525
The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses.
526
One should respect public opinion insofar as is necessary to avoid starvation and keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny.
527
I always knew I wanted to play golf and go to college. I try hard to be a positive role model, especially on the golf course. I try to carry myself well, and don’t do anything outrageous. I try to play the game like a gentleman and give everyone respect. That’s how the game should be played.
528
Why should I care about posterity? What’s posterity ever done for me?
529
No human being should be a role model. We all have flaws.
530
It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
531
Art should be an oasis: a place or refuge from the hardness of life.
532
A teacher should have maximal authority, and minimal power.
533
Much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often we are giving young people cut flowers when we should be teaching them to grow their own plants.
534
A fox should not be on the jury at a goose‘s trial.
535
Public health service should be as fully organized and as universally incorporated into our governmental system as is public education. The returns are a thousand fold in economic benefits, and infinitely more in reduction of suffering and promotion of human happiness.
536
Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.
537
The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist, and believed blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations.
538
True leaders don’t invest in buildings. Jesus never built a building. They invest in people. Why? Because success without a successor is failure. So your legacy should not be in buildings, programs, or projects; your legacy must be in people.
539
It was that which gave promise that in due time the weights should be lifted from the shoulders of all men, and that all should have an equal chance. This is the sentiment embodied in that Declaration of Independence.
540
Jews outside Israel live in permanent contradiction. I think they should come home.
541
If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life.
542
Solidarity is an attitude of resistance, I suppose, or it should be.
543
Resilience isn’t a single skill. It’s a variety of skills and coping mechanisms. To bounce back from bumps in the road as well as failures, you should focus on emphasizing the positive.
544
I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.
545
A child’s education should begin at least one hundred years before he is born.
546
People overcoming the odds is actually a really important part of humanity, and I don’t think we kind of get to celebrate that as much as we should.
547
Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you?
Fanny Brice
548
Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment.
549
Walk on water? I know most people out there will be saying that instead of walking on it, I should have taken more of it with my drinks. They are absolutely right.
550
A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.
551
A person should have positive attitude in his life and it will thus reflect on a healthy lifestyle.
552
Music should be your escape.
553
Your most important friendships should be with your own brothers and sisters and with your father and mother. Love your family. Be loyal to them. Have a genuine concern for your brothers and sisters.
554
Any cook should be able to run the country.
555
The ministers of kings should learn to moderate their ambition. The higher they elevate themselves above their proper sphere, the greater the danger that they will fall.
Louis XIV
556
It is not in the nature of politics that the best men should be elected. The best men do not want to govern their fellowmen.
George MacDonald
557
The number of guests at dinner should not be less than the number of the Graces nor exceed that of the Muses, i.e., it should begin with three and stop at nine.
Marcus Terentius Varro
558
But in truth, should I meet with gold or spices in great quantity, I shall remain till I collect as much as possible, and for this purpose I am proceeding solely in quest of them.
559
You should run your life not by the calendar but how you feel, and what you’re interests are and ambitions.
560
When reflecting upon it today, that the Pearl Harbor attack should have succeeded in achieving surprise seems a blessing from Heaven. It was clear that a great American fleet had been concentrated in Pearl Harbor, and we supposed that the state of alert would be very high.
561
The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done.
562
The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach – waiting for a gift from the sea.
563
Bullying is so common that it’s viewed as almost ‘normal,’ but it should never be.
564
I watched the ‘Food, Inc.’ documentary and was like, ‘This has opened my eyes to the meat industry – maybe I should go vegetarian.’ And my friend told me, ‘Sadie, you’re not gonna last a week.’ But I’m very competitive.
565
The ‘what should be’ never did exist, but people keep trying to live up to it. There is no ‘what should be,’ there is only what is.
Lenny Bruce
566
Islam is a religion. It is not an ideology. For a Muslim, there is no such thing as to be against modernity. Why should a Muslim not be a modern person? I, as a Muslim, fulfill all the requirements of my religion, and I live in a democratic, social state.
567
Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically, by definition, be disqualified from ever doing so.
568
If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.
George MacDonald
569
I don’t think that one moment in people’s life should define them. Within reason: I emphasise that.
570
Hiding, secrets, and not being able to be yourself is one of the worst things ever for a person. It gives you low self-esteem. You never get to reach that peak in your life. You should always be able to be yourself and be proud of yourself.
571
I saw six men kicking and punching the mother-in-law. My neighbour said ‘Are you going to help?’ I said ‘No, six should be enough.’
572
We may stumble and fall but shall rise again; it should be enough if we did not run away from the battle.
573
You should take some responsibility for the way you present yourself. But you should not be hung up on your looks, whether you are ugly or handsome, because it isn’t an achievement.
574
I say the law should be blind to race, gender and sexual orientation, just as it claims to be blind to wealth and power. There should be no specially protected groups of any kind, except for children, the severely disabled and the elderly, whose physical frailty demands society’s care.
575
Diets, like clothes, should be tailored to you.
576
Every day should be a good day. People fool themselves that they’ll be here forever.
577
One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.
578
The danger is not lest the soul should doubt whether there is any bread, but lest, by a lie, it should persuade itself that it is not hungry.
579
I always tell people that you should only hire people to be on your team if you would work for them.
580
We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.
581
A gentleman would be ashamed should his deeds not match his words.
582
Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.
583
I want to be able to look back and say, ‘I’ve done everything I can, and I was successful.’ I don’t want to look back and say I should have done this or that. I’d like to change things for the younger generation of swimmers coming along.
584
One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards.
585
The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.
586
For a true writer, each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment. He should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed. Then sometimes, with great luck, he will succeed.
587
Work is the greatest thing in the world, so we should always save some of it for tomorrow.
Don Herold
588
Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. The older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
589
Your dresses should be tight enough to show you’re a woman and loose enough to show you’re a lady.
590
If we love our country, we should also love our countrymen.
591
A man has to live with himself, and he should see to it that he always has good company.
Charles Evans Hughes
592
Scientific advancement should aim to affirm and to improve human life.
593
Sometimes we should express our gratitude for the small and simple things like the scent of the rain, the taste of your favorite food, or the sound of a loved one‘s voice.
594
Social media has given us this idea that we should all have a posse of friends when in reality, if we have one or two really good friends, we are lucky.
595
If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and stare.
596
Laughter heals all wounds, and that’s one thing that everybody shares. No matter what you’re going through, it makes you forget about your problems. I think the world should keep laughing.
597
One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I’m a woman. That is the way all females should feel.
598
Should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings.
599
Makeup is about balance. When the eye makes a statement, the lips should be quiet.
600
I used to wonder if it was God’s plan that I should be alone for so much of my life. But I found peace. I found happiness within people and the world.
601
Would you bet your paycheck on a weather forecast for tomorrow? If not, then why should this country bet billions on global warming predictions that have even less foundation?
602
I think there should be holy war against yoga classes.
603
604
In all science, error precedes the truth, and it is better it should go first than last.
Horace Walpole
605
Rwanda can be a paradise again, but it will take the love of the entire world to heal my homeland. And that’s as it should be, for what happened in Rwanda happened to us all – humanity was wounded by the genocide.
Immaculee Ilibagiza
606
Ministers should not pray so loud, and long, as to exhaust the strength. It is not necessary to weary the throat and lungs in prayer. God’s ear is ever open to hear the heart-felt petitions of his humble servants, and he does not require them to wear out the organs of speech in addressing him.
607
‘Back To Love’ is a way of letting people know that sometimes you get caught up in trying to be successful in school or in your social life, and it’s a reminder not to forget that each day people are getting older. Nobody is promised tomorrow, so we should make sure that we spend quality time with quality people.
608
Accountability for police officers should be an expectation, not an aberration.
609
Samsung‘s future hinges on new businesses, new products and new technologies. We should make our corporate culture more open, flexible and innovative.
Lee Kun-hee
610
When we look back on all the perils through which we have passed and at the mighty foes that we have laid low and all the dark and deadly designs that we have frustrated, why should we fear for our future? We have come safely through the worst.
611
A man’s own judgment should be the final appeal in all that relates to himself.
612
Even though you’re growing up, you should never stop having fun.
613
I always saw pollution as theft, and I always thought, ‘Why should somebody be able to pollute the air, which belongs to all of us, or destroy a river or a waterway, which is supposed to belong to the whole community?’
614
I believe in a visual language that should be as strong as the written word.
615
Regardless of who wins, an election should be a time for optimism and fresh approaches.
616
We have to forget the past. History is something that even today we are paying the consequences, and the future is integration. We all as a people, as citizens, as the leadership of both countries should be looking in that direction.
Atifete Jahjaga
617
Sexiness is all in the eye of the beholder. I think it should be. Absolutely. My sex appeal, whatever it might be, isn’t obvious… at least to me.
Sharon Tate
618
He who is overly attached to his family members experiences fear and sorrow, for the root of all grief is attachment. Thus one should discard attachment to be happy.
619
The only people who should really sin are the people who can sin and grin.
620
I think you should take your job seriously, but not yourself – that is the best combination.
621
If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face, you should go home and examine your conscience.
622
Whatever must happen ultimately should happen immediately.
623
If our nation wants to reduce global warming, air pollution and energy instability, we should invest only in the best energy options. Nuclear energy isn’t one of them.
Mark Z. Jacobson
624
A man’s feet should be planted in his country, but his eyes should survey the world.
625
We should always look upon ourselves as God’s servants, placed in God’s world, to do his work; and accordingly labour faithfully for him; not with a design to grow rich and great, but to glorify God, and do all the good we possibly can.
626
Judges should be in the business of declaring what the law is using the traditional tools of interpretation, rather than pronouncing the law as they might wish it to be in light of their own political views.
627
Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
628
We should respect all religions and just believe in peace, kindness and harmony.
629
It would appear that we have reached the limits of what it is possible to achieve with computer technology, although one should be careful with such statements, as they tend to sound pretty silly in 5 years.
John von Neumann
630
The universal utilization of water power and its long-distance transmission will supply every household with cheap power and will dispense with the necessity of burning fuel. The struggle for existence being lessened, there should be development along ideal rather than material lines.
