Infamy Quotes - Page 4

• The meek are positive and often colorful characters. They are not self-assertive nor self-seeking, to be sure, but rather they are unselfish and uncomplaining, genuinely interested in the welfare of others, creating opportunities to be of service to them, submissive in the face of injuries and insults, silent in the accidents and adversities of life, and bearing with equanimity the infamies and injustices heaped upon them.

  V. Raymond Edman

• El mundo nunca estará mucho tiempo sin alguna buena razón para odiar a los infelices; sus faltas reales se detectan inmediatamente; y si éstas no son suficientes para hundirlos en la infamia, se añadirá un peso individual de calumnia.

  Samuel Johnson

• A sentence of death and infamy was often founded on the slight and suspicious evidence of a child or a servant: the guilt [of the defendant] was presumed by the judges [due to the nature of the charge], and paederasty became the crime of those to whom no crime could be imputed.

  Edward Gibbon

• Indeed, so deep is my pleasure in the work of the garden that, if there be a dimension after death in which grieving for the loss of the world of senses is possible, I shall grieve for no person however once agonisingly desired and passionately beloved, for no emotional adventure however uplifting, for no success however warming, no infamy however exhilarating, for nothing half so much as I shall grieve to the loss of the earth itself, the soil, the seeds, the plants, the very weeds... It is a love almost overriding my love the words that could express that love.

  Hal Porter

• Virtue will catch as well as vice by contact; and the public stock of honest manly principle will daily accumulate. We are not too nicely to scrutinize motives as long as action is irreproachable. It is enough (and for a worthy man perhaps too much) to deal out its infamy to convicted guilt and declared apostasy.

• For anyone who has ever stood before a bathroom mirror and secretly thanked The
  Academy, a hilarious guide to becoming 'It' in an age where the line between fame
  and infamy is as fine as a Manolo Blahnik stiletto heel.

• Las acciones del Sr. Carter hacia la República de China me parecieron tan increíbles que desafían la descripción con improperios socialmente aceptables. Si el 7 de diciembre de 1941 fue un "día de infamia", el 15 de diciembre de 1978 está a la altura de la traición internacional... Lo patético de todo este lío, sin embargo, es que es típico de la gestión de los asuntos exteriores de esta administración, que podría describirse amablemente como plagada de ineptitud e hipocresía.

• Aquí el único conflicto genuino es entre verdaderos creyentes. De un determinado texto de la Sagrada Escritura, una facción puede decir esto y otra aquello, pero ambas coinciden sin reservas en que el texto en sí es impecable, y ninguna de ellas, en medio de la más violenta disputa, se atrevería a acusar a la otra de dudar. Llamar a un hombre escéptico en estos lugares equivale a acusarlo de canibalismo. Ni siquiera el infiel Scopes ha sido acusado de tal infamia.

• Those peculiar social sensibilities nourished by our own peculiar political principles, while they enhance the true dignity of a prosperous American, do but minister to the added wretchedness of the unfortunate; first, by prohibiting their acceptance of what little random relief charity may offer; and, second, by furnishing them with the keenest appreciation of the smarting distinction between their ideal of universal equality and their grind-stone experience of the practical misery and infamy of poverty.

• Prostitution is the most hideous of the afflictions produced by the unequal distribution of the world's goods; this infamy stigmatizes the human species and bears witness against the social organization far more than does crime.

• If one writes or reads novels from the point of view of psychology, it is very inconsistent and petty to want to shy away from even the slowest and most detailed analysis of the most unnatural lusts, gruesome tortures, shocking infamy, and disgusting sensual or spiritual impotence.

• The legacy of Ronald Reagan will live on forever. I, of course, had the wonderful opportunity of working with him and getting to know him personally. A more wonderful person you couldn't meet. I think the coming down of the Berlin Wall will always live in infamy. I treasure his friendship and appreciate so much what he did for me personally and for the issue of reducing gun violence.

• I would like to be remembered as a good father. A good husband. A good brother. A good friend. A good man. But that is simply not going to happen. Like it or not, I have reached the point of infamy when I am going to be remembered simply as 'Ronnie Biggs', whatever or whoever he is in your mind.

• Los panfletos que llegaban a Londres relatando las violentas hazañas de los piratas de las Bahamas fueron los que trajeron la infamia a los nombres de Charles Vane y Barbanegra. ¿Cuánto de eso es realmente historia documentada? Tiene su sabor, pero tómese todo esto con una pizca de sal.

• But man is a Noble Animal, splendid in ashes, and pompous in the grave, solemnizing Nativities and Deaths with equal lustre, nor omitting Ceremonies of Bravery, in the infamy of his nature. Life is a pure flame, and we live by an invisible Sun within us.

• Las libertades de nuestro país, las libertades de nuestra Constitución civil merecen ser defendidas a toda costa; es nuestro deber defenderlas contra todo ataque. Las hemos recibido como justa herencia de nuestros dignos antepasados. Ellos las compraron para nosotros con esfuerzo y peligro y gasto de tesoro y sangre. Si permitimos que nos sean arrebatados por la violencia sin luchar, o que seamos engañados por los artificios de hombres malintencionados, esto traerá una marca de infamia eterna sobre la generación actual, por muy ilustrada que sea.

  Samuel Adams
