179

236
237
I can only say that there is not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do, to see a plan adopted for the abolition of it – but there is only one proper and effectual mode by which it can be accomplished, and that is by Legislative authority: and this, as far as my suffrage will go, shall never be wanting.

402
No kingdom has shed more blood than the kingdom of Christ.
403
Public service must be more than doing a job efficiently and honestly. It must be a complete dedication to the people and to the nation.
404
On a motorcycle, you can’t really think about more than where you are. There’s a freedom that comes with that – from stress, worry, sweating the small stuff.
405
Man is not the creature of circumstances, circumstances are the creatures of men. We are free agents, and man is more powerful than matter.
406
While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.
407
When we talk about ‘smart transportation,’ it is more than moving cargo from A to B. Digitization within transport and logistics means seamless service to our customers, visibility in the supply chain, and driving a more efficient business.
408
409
There is more power in unity than division.
410
411
412
Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.
413
414
So a good teacher always makes you do something a little bit more than you thought that you could do.
415
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
416
The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it, because it’s only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles, wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.
417
Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.
418
I believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you’re able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something… it’s about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.
419
420
Why are women… so much more interesting to men than men are to women?
421
Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.
422
Scars are a truly beautiful thing. Yes, they can be a little ugly on the outside, but scars show that you’re a survivor, that you made it through something, and not only did you make it through, but now you’re stronger and wiser and more educated because of that tough time that you went through.
423
Management is nothing more than motivating other people.
424
Fashion is part of our culture, and it’s about more than just a pretty dress.
425
Too much of what is called ‘education’ is little more than an expensive isolation from reality.
426
And more importantly, I wouldn’t be the person I am today, I wouldn’t be where I am now and I may not even have been here if it wasn’t for the accident.
427
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.
428
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.
429
How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.
430
431
The eye of the master will do more work than both his hands.
432
433
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.
434
435
Cleanliness becomes more important when godliness is unlikely.
436
437
438
Nothing matters but the facts. Without them, the science of criminal investigation is nothing more than a guessing game.
439
Nothing is more responsible for the good old days than a bad memory.
440
Sleep is the interest we have to pay on the capital which is called in at death; and the higher the rate of interest and the more regularly it is paid, the further the date of redemption is postponed.
441
442
443
444
445
446
I have a lot of great memories, but I can’t imagine anything more exciting than the life I have now.
447
The more knowledge you have, the greater will be your fear of Allah.
448
Beware of no man more than of yourself; we carry our worst enemies within us.
449
The more I learn about things, I realise how wrong I was before.
450
451
All thing I thought I knew; but now confess, the more I know I know, I know the less.
452
Deforestation will continue as long as cutting down and burning trees is more economic than preserving them.
453
Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond.
454
Passion is one great force that unleashes creativity, because if you’re passionate about something, then you’re more willing to take risks.
455
Just as the constant increase of entropy is the basic law of the universe, so it is the basic law of life to be ever more highly structured and to struggle against entropy.
456
A vision is not just a picture of what could be; it is an appeal to our better selves, a call to become something more.
457
Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.
458
459
460
461
462
Capitalists are no more capable of self-sacrifice than a man is capable of lifting himself up by his own bootstraps.
463
Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it’s much more serious than that.
464
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.
465
466
Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.
467
The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.
468
Embrace your vulnerability and celebrate your flaws; it will let you appreciate the world around you and make you more compassionate.
469
There are few things more dishonorable than misleading the young.
470
Success or failure in business is caused more by the mental attitude even than by mental capacities.
471
A good reputation is more valuable than money.
472
A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.
473
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
474
475
Opinion has caused more trouble on this little earth than plagues or earthquakes.
476
In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.
477
478
I feel as though, if you’re able to control your dreams, you have more power and control over your mind, like you could reach more areas of your mind. Therefore, I feel like it creates the ability for you to achieve more things in reality.
479
My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and more intelligent than college professors.
480
I’m a comeback waiting to happen. No one deserves it more than I do.
481
Employees who believe that management is concerned about them as a whole person – not just an employee – are more productive, more satisfied, more fulfilled. Satisfied employees mean satisfied customers, which leads to profitability.
482
483
It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.
484
Smile, for everyone lacks self-confidence and more than any other one thing a smile reassures them.
485
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.
486
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.
487
488
489
Running taught me valuable lessons. In cross-country competition, training counted more than intrinsic ability, and I could compensate for a lack of natural aptitude with diligence and discipline. I applied this in everything I did.
490
491
Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible – it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.
492
All the ills of democracy can be cured by more democracy.
493
I’ve learned from experience that if you work harder at it, and apply more energy and time to it, and more consistency, you get a better result. It comes from the work.
494
More men die of jealousy than of cancer.
495
496
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
497
It is far more difficult to be simple than to be complicated; far more difficult to sacrifice skill and easy execution in the proper place, than to expand both indiscriminately.
498
499
500
The more you can dream, the more you can do.
501
There is always strength in numbers. The more individuals or organizations that you can rally to your cause, the better.
502
The man who does more than he is paid for will soon be paid for more than he does.
503
504
505
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.
506
I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.
507
508
Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.
509
510
It is like the seed put in the soil – the more one sows, the greater the harvest.
511
512
We must become bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook. We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community.
513
514
515
If anything, the children of Paris should be giving me even more money for having the privilege of being in the same city as my incredible quality. And so should David Beckham. Call it a Zlaritable donation.
516
Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.
517
Science is built up of facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.
518
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.
519
520
People see me as cute, but I’m so much more than that.
521
The more generous we are, the more joyous we become. The more cooperative we are, the more valuable we become. The more enthusiastic we are, the more productive we become. The more serving we are, the more prosperous we become.
522
Death will be a great relief. No more interviews.
523
I can’t change my personality. I’ll always smile, but I’ll be more focused.
524
525
It’s a dialogue, not a monologue, and some people don’t understand that. Social media is more like a telephone than a television.
526
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
527
Hobbits are an unobtrusive but very ancient people, more numerous formerly than they are today; for they love peace and quiet and good tilled earth: a well-ordered and well-farmed countryside was their favourite haunt.
528
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.
529
530
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.
531
Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.
532
I gave up my struggle with perfection a long time ago. That is a concept I don’t find very interesting anymore. Everyone just wants to look good in the photographs. I think that is where some of the pressure comes from. Be happy. Be yourself, the day is about a lot more.
533
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
534
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
535
Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.
536
The American Dream has run out of gas. The car has stopped. It no longer supplies the world with its images, its dreams, its fantasies. No more. It’s over. It supplies the world with its nightmares now: the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, Vietnam.
537
538
539
Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day.
540
541
Sometimes a villain is very quiet – it makes them more deadly, more intellectual.
542
Solitude is painful when one is young, but delightful when one is more mature.
543
544
545
546
You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.
547
Do what you love, and do it well – that’s much more meaningful than any metric.
548
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
549
By giving people the power to share, we’re making the world more transparent.
550
Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.
551
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
552
553
One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.
554
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.
555
You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.
556
Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning.
557
558
The solution often turns out more beautiful than the puzzle.
559
The beauty of mathematics only shows itself to more patient followers.
560
An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.
561
562
563
What we need is more people who specialize in the impossible.
564
Celerity is never more admired than by the negligent.
565
People who work sitting down get paid more than people who work standing up.
566
I love not man the less, but Nature more.
567
568
Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance.
569
Why are women… so much more interesting to men than men are to women?
570
Learning lessons is a little like reaching maturity. You’re not suddenly more happy, wealthy, or powerful, but you understand the world around you better, and you’re at peace with yourself. Learning life’s lessons is not about making your life perfect, but about seeing life as it was meant to be.
571
A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.
572
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.
573
574
575
The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.
576
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
577
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.
578
There is a fellowship more quiet even than solitude, and which, rightly understood, is solitude made perfect.
579
580
The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after.
581
582
As a rule, men worry more about what they can’t see than about what they can.
583
My transformation represents more than what is just skin deep; it represents my motivation, drive, and willingness to constantly improve.
584
585
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
586
A stereotype may be negative or positive, but even positive stereotypes present two problems: They are cliches, and they present a human being as far more simple and uniform than any human being actually is.
587
The world worries about disability more than disabled people do.
588
Sometimes there is more exploration in the character for a villain.
589
The less men think, the more they talk.
590
591
Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to think.
592
593
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
594
The more unintelligent a man is, the less mysterious existence seems to him.
595
How happy had it been for me had I been slain in the battle. It had been far more noble to have died the victim of the enemy than fall a sacrifice to the rage of my friends.
596
597
There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life.
598
599
Smart women love smart men more than smart men love smart women.
600
601
We need to start identifying the triggers that aggravate mental health issues in our society – bullying, social media negativity and anxiety, gender based violence, substance abuse, stigma around issues such as maternal issues, etc., and we need to speak up about these more and get to the source of the problems.
602
603
Struggle teaches you a lot of things, and I am happy that I witnessed a roller coaster ride. The journey has improved me as a person and made me more mature.
604
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
605
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
606
Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.
607
There is no such thing as perpetual tranquillity of mind while we live here; because life itself is but motion, and can never be without desire, nor without fear, no more than without sense.
608
609
610
To be yourself is truly a revolutionary act, and I think more and more people should try it, because it’s gotten me a pretty cool life.
611
612
The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.
613
614
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.
615
It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.
616
It’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.
617
618
619
I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me.
620
621
Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.
622
The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
623
Although I’m only fourteen, I know quite well what I want. I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my own ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child. I feel quite independent of anyone.
624
More die in the United States of too much food than of too little.
625
A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.
626
Ceremonies are important. But our gratitude has to be more than visits to the troops, and once-a-year Memorial Day ceremonies. We honor the dead best by treating the living well.
627
Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.
628
Nothing succeeds like success. Get a little success, and then just get a little more.
629
Religious wars are not caused by the fact that there is more than one religion, but by the spirit of intolerance… the spread of which can only be regarded as the total eclipse of human reason.
630
631
The more specific we are, the more universal something can become. Life is in the details. If you generalize, it doesn’t resonate. The specificity of it is what resonates.
632
It’s time for political leaders across the ideological spectrum to realize that, while partisanship is understandable, hyper-partisanship is destructive to our country. We need more visionary leaders who will earnestly strive for bipartisanship and finding policy solutions that can move America forward.
633
634
635
Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.
636
637
The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.
638
639
640
641
642
There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.
643
Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself.
644
I am suggesting that as we go through life, we ‘accentuate the positive.’ I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good, that we still our voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment and endorse virtue and effort.
645
646
647
Sometimes it’s more about the journey than the destination.
648
649
We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.
650
I am sure that if the mothers of various nations could meet, there would be no more wars.
651
652
653
I’ve never been socially outgoing, but I suspect I’ve gotten more and more ambivalent about making new friends. I’m irritated by how-do-you-do chit-chat, but that’s how new relationships usually begin.
654
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.
655
As long as you keep going, you’ll keep getting better. And as you get better, you gain more confidence. That alone is success.
656
A good restaurant is like a vacation; it transports you, and it becomes a lot more than just about the food.
657
658
659
The greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her faults.
660
Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.
