I do not care very much what men say of me, provided that God approves of me.
Thomas More
If the parties will at my hands call for justice, then, all were it my father stood on the
one side, and the devil on the other, his cause being good, the devil should have right.
Thomas More
In no victory do they glory so much as in that which is gained by dexterity and good conduct without bloodshed.
Thomas More
Age does not protect you from love, but love to some extent protects you from age.
Jeanne Moreau
A fascinating reaction of the human brain when we fail to meet a goal is that it tells us to
throw caution to the wind and make things even worse, which ultimately leads to us giving up.
Fabrizio Moreira
If you want to become physically stronger, you'll need healthy habits - like going to the gym. You'll also
have to give up unhealthy habits - like eating junk food. Building mental strength requires healthy habits -
like practicing gratitude - while also giving up unhealthy behavior, like giving up after the first failure.
Amy Morin
When I find an employee who turns out to be wrong for a job, I feel it is my fault because I made the decision to hire him.
Akio Morita
High heels were invented by a woman who had been kissed on the forehead.

Show me the man who has enjoyed his schooldays and I will show you a bully and a bore.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.
Jim Morrison
Actually I don't remember being born, it must have happened during one of my black outs.
Jim Morrison
Blake said that the body was the soul's prison unless the five senses are fully developed and open. He considered the
senses the windows of the soul.
When sex involves all the senses intensely, it can be like a mystical experence.
Jim Morrison
Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.
Jim Morrison
Drugs are a bet with your mind.
Jim Morrison
Each generation wants new symbols, new people, new names. They want to divorce themselves from their predecessors.
Jim Morrison
Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
Jim Morrison
Film spectators are quiet vampires.
Jim Morrison
Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel.
Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.
Jim Morrison
Hatred is a very underestimated emotion.
Jim Morrison
I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos-especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me
to be the road toward freedom... Rather than starting inside, I start outside and reach the mental through the physical.
Jim Morrison
I believe in a long, prolonged, derangement of the senses in order to obtain the unknown.
Jim Morrison
I like any reaction I can get with my music. Just anything to get people to think. I mean if you can
get a whole room full of drunk, stoned people to actually wake up and think, you're doing something.
Jim Morrison
I like people who shake other people up and make them feel uncomfortable.
Jim Morrison
I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments.
Jim Morrison
I think in art, but especially in films, people are trying to confirm their own existences.
Jim Morrison
I think of myself as an intelligent, sensitive human being with the soul of a clown which always forces me to blow it at the most important moments.
Jim Morrison
I'm interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos, especially activity
that appears to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom.
Jim Morrison
If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it's to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel.
Jim Morrison
It's like gambling somehow. You go out for a night of drinking and you don't know where your going to
end up the next day. It could work out good or it could be disastrous. It's like the throw of the dice.
Jim Morrison
Listen, real poetry doesn't say anything; it just ticks off the possibilities. Opens all doors. You can walk through anyone that suits you.
Jim Morrison
Love cannot save you from your own fate.
Jim Morrison
Music inflames temperament.
Jim Morrison
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.
Jim Morrison
Sex is full of lies. The body tries to tell the truth. But, it's usually too battered with rules
to be heard, and bound with pretenses so it can hardly move. We cripple ourselves with lies.
Jim Morrison
Some of the worst mistakes of my life have been haircuts.
Jim Morrison
The appeal of cinema lies in the fear of death.
Jim Morrison
The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your
reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.
Jim Morrison
The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces.
They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder.
Jim Morrison
The time to hesitate is through.
Jim Morrison
There are things known and things unknown and in between are the doors.
Jim Morrison
This is the strangest life I've ever known.
Jim Morrison
Violence isn't always evil. What's evil is the infatuation with violence.
Jim Morrison
We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict.
Jim Morrison
When you make your peace with authority, you become authority.
Jim Morrison
Where's your will to be weird?
Jim Morrison
Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.
Jim Morrison
The world is divided into people who do things and people who get the credit.
Try, if you can, to belong to the first class. There's far less competition.
Dwight Morrow
A man with a bristling grey beard [a yachtsman], said: I made up my mind, when I bought my first boat, never to learn to swim ...
When you're in a spot of trouble, if you can swim you try to strike out for the shore. You invariably drown. As I can't swim, I cling to
the wreckage and they send a helicopter out for me. That's my tip, if you ever find yourself in trouble, cling to the wreckage!
John Mortimer
No brilliance is needed in the law. Nothing but common sense, and relatively clean finger nails.
John Mortimer
Restaurants have this in common with ladies: the best are often not the most enjoyable, nor the grandest the
most friendly, and the pleasures of the evening are frequently spoiled by the writing of an exorbitant cheque.

It has to be admitted that we English have sex on the brain, which is a very unsatisfactory place to have it.

Money is like manure. If you spread it around, it does a lot of good, but if you pile it up in one place, it stinks like hell.

I don't give a damn what the media critics say. It's what your readers say. If you haven't got any readers, you're only talking to yourself.
Rupert Murdoch
I spent the better part of the past three months enduring criticism that is normally leveled at some kind of genocidal tyrant.

Rupert Murdoch
I try to keep in touch with the details - you can't keep in touch with them all, but you've got to have a feel for what's going on.

Human resources are the greatest assets of any company. You can raise tariffs or prevent
MNCs from entering, but one can't stop the employees from leaving if they are dissatisfied.
Narayana Murthy
I do not really understand the stock market.
Narayana Murthy
It is better to underpromise and overdeliver than vice versa. For this one need not break the law of the
land. One has to only think global. Otherwise success will disappear like the dew in the morning sun.
Narayana Murthy
Organizations with decision-making speed and imagination will thrive as nobody can claim to have a monopoly over creativity.
Narayana Murthy
You do not have to be the son of a rich man to be an entrepreneur. Today kids are far more willing to take risks because they've seen high rewards.
