The personal interiorization of the practice of humiliation is called humility. - Kathy Acker Remember that every government service, every offer of government - financed security, is paid for in the loss of personal freedom...

There's always a little bit of personal satisfaction when you prove somebody wrong. - Drew Brees One never knows whether people have principles on principle or whether for their own personal satisfaction. - Karel Capek Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction. - Margaret Thatcher When you write, you want fame, fortune and personal satisfaction. You want to write what you want to write and feel it's good, and you want this to go on for hundreds of years.

This book is merely a personal narrative, and not a pretentious history or a philosophical dissertation.

That has always been the appealing voice in poetry. It started for me lyrically in Shakespeare's sonnets. - Diane Wakoski

But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their Personal Legend. - Paulo Coelho life is really generous to those who pursue their ...

(2) A brief coupling of words used to evoke someone's personality in a small-talk setting: Billy's thing used to be soccer; now it's masterbation. (3) A laconic summation of one's character and interests used for the purpose of categorization and judgement.

Tolerance is composed of nine parts of apathy to one of brotherly love. - Frank Moore Colby At first I was surprised and confused; then as he lay in his house and didn't move or breathe or speak hour upon hour it grew upon me that I was responsible, because no one else was interested--interested, I mean, with that intense personal interest to which everyone has some vague right at the end. - F Scott Fitzgerald interested, I mean, with that intense personal interest to which every one has ...

If you're insinuating that my personal hygiene is not up to the same high standard as yours you can go suck my galoshes. - Alan Bradley Ya know what I do almost every day? I wash. Personal hygiene is part of the package with me. - Jim Carrey The word 'personal' is one of my aversions. Personal loan. Personal hygiene. Personal safety. It's only a way of wrapping up bad news that you're in debt, or dirty, or likely to be mugged. - Helen Dunmore In any case, his religious teaching consisted mostly in more or less vague ethical remarks, an obscure mixture of ideals of English gentlemanliness and his favorite notions of personal hygiene.

E...

I would rather feel compassion than know the meaning of it. I would hope to act with compassion without thinking of personal gain. - Thomas Aquinas Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do. - Quintus Tullius Cicero Malicious acts are performed by people for personal gain ... Sorcerers, though, have an ulterior purpose for their acts, which has nothing to do with personal gain. The fact that they enjoy their acts does not count as gain. Rather, it is a condition of their character. The average man acts only if there is a chance for profit. Warriors say they act not for profit but for the spirit. - Carlos Castaneda Six mistakes mankind k...

While complying can be an effective strategy for physical survival, it's a lousy one for personal fulfillment.

Do you think that's a coincidence?" Jen shrugged her shoulders as she raised her eyebrows at Sally. - Quinn Loftis Here at the house, I've been decorating it and getting it organized. My best friend moved in in October so I've been getting her settled. She's my personal assistant now. - Picabo Street

High-level, big-deal publicity has a way of getting old for me, but what never fails to thrill me is when I make personal appearances. - Joseph Barbera I'm too shy for personal appearances, and I've found out that anytime I talk about my writing, I can't do any writing for many weeks afterward. - Anne Tyler The Crows are very handsome and gentlemanly Indians in their personal appearance: and have been always reputed, since the first acquaintance made with them, very civil and friendly. - George Catlin Women can resist a man's love, a man's fame, a man's personal appearance, and a man's money, but they cannot resist a man's tongue when he knows how to talk to them. - Wilkie Collins I would think that other people could see if you had other talents.

I was doing real estate and personal appearances and kept my foot in the door. - Donna Douglas I speak for a lot of church groups, youth groups, schools, colleg...

Nothing personal; I just don't have people over. - Alvin Ailey Nothing Personal? You've harrassed my mother, stolen my car, and now you're telling people I've gotten you pregnant!

Then a voice answers nothing personal, your name just happened to come up. - Charles M Schulz You know what Oscar Wilde said, ma'am? He said, "nothing that is worth knowing can be taught".
