| I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones. | | Oscar Wilde | | |
|
| I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world. | | Socrates | | |
|
| I am not one who was born in the possession of knowledge; I am one who is fond of antiquity, and earnest in seeking it there. | | Confucius | | |
|
| I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly. | | Oscar Wilde | | |
|
| I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new. | | Ralph Waldo Emerson | | |
|
| I believe I shall,in some shape or other,always exist; and, with all the inconveniences human life is liable to, I shall not object to a new edition of mine, hoping, however, that the errata of the last may be corrected. | | Benjamin Franklin | | |
|
| I can believe anything, provided that it is quite incredible. | | Oscar Wilde | | |
|
| I can't help detesting my relations. I suppose it comes from the fact that none of us can stand other people having the same faults as ourselves. | | Oscar Wilde | | |
|
| I cannot conceive otherwise than that He, the Infinite Father, expects or requires no worship or praise from us, but that He is even infinitely above it. | | Benjamin Franklin | | |
|
| I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their good intellects. A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies. | | Oscar Wilde | | |
|
| I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled [poets] to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean. | | Socrates | | |
|
| I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. I tell you that virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue comes money and every other good of man, public as well as private. This is my teaching, and if this is the doctrine which corrupts the youth, I am a mischievous person. | | Socrates | | |
|
| I don't like principles. I prefer prejudices. | | Oscar Wilde | | |
|
| I don't play accurately-any one can play accurately- but I play with wonderful expression. As far as the piano is concerned, sentiment is my forte. I keep science for Life. | | Oscar Wilde | | |
|
| I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show for any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. | | Ralph Waldo Emerson | | |
|
| I have not seen a person who loved virtue, or one who hated what was not virtuous. He who loved virtue would esteem nothing above it. | | Confucius | | |
|
| |
|
| I have the simplest of tastes. I am always satisfied with the best. | | Oscar Wilde | | |
|
I have three treasures. Guard and keep them:
The first is deep love,
The second is frugality,
And the third is not to dare to be ahead of the world.
Because of deep love, one is courageous.
Because of frugality, one is generous.
Because of not daring to be ahead of the world, one becomes the leader of the world. | | Lao Tzu | | |
|
| I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance. | | Socrates | | |
