William Cowper

Is base in kind, and born to be a slave.

Wayne Coyne

If SANTA CLAUS came down the chimney in a f**king jogging suit, you wouldn't even know it was him.

Wayne Dyer

Most people think that there is a monarchy, where God is the king and we are the subjects, and the subjects are inferior to this invisible king. But not only are we inferior, we are also stained by sin, and therefore, untrustworthy.

Wayne Dyer

So, you have to contemplate yourself surrounded by the conditions you wish to produce and know you can attract divine energy to help you. Dormant forces come alive when you put your attention on what you intend to manifest and when you stay connected to your source of well-being, your source of kindness, and your source that excludes no one.

Wayne Dyer

Your circumstances do not determine what your life will be; they reveal what kinds of images you have chosen up until now.

Wayne Dyer

Treat yourself and others with kindness when you eat, exercise, play, work, love, and everything else. When you think, feel, and act kindly, you hasten your ability to connect to the power of intention.

Wayne Dyer

If you could have magical binoculars that you could focus and look at the field of intention, you would see what the source of all things looks like. It's a source of love and kindness and beauty and creativity, and it's a source that excludes nothing and it's a source of unlimited abundance.

Wayne Dyer

Not only are we going to shift in our own lives - away from always trying to identify ourselves on the basis of what we have, what we do, and who we are better than, and so on - but shift into more reaching out, more service, more kindness, more living the virtues that Lao Tzu spoke about twenty-five hundred years ago.

Wayne Dyer

I think the most common meme is that it's too difficult to change. It's too risky to change. My nature doesn't allow me to change. When you're thinking that, you're not understanding what your nature is. All of us come from this place of well-being, love, and kindness. But we've taken on these other things, and we think that they're our nature. Our nature really is to be like God.

Wayne Dyer

Change your inner thoughts to the higher frequencies of love, harmony, kindness, peace, and joy, and you'll attract more of the same.

Vasily Grossman

I don't believe in your "Good". I believe in human kindness.

Vasily Grossman

Man and fascism cannot co-exist. If fascism conquers, man will cease to exist and there will remain only man-like creatures that have undergone an internal transformation. But if man, man who is endowed with reason and kindness, should conquer, then Fascism must perish, and those who have submitted to it will once again become people.

Ursula K. Le Guin

That I was not dueling with the king, but trying to communicate with him, was itself an incommunicable fact.

Ursula K. Le Guin

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings.

Ursula K. Le Guin

The king was pregnant.

Ursula K. Le Guin

For we each of us deserve everything, every luxury that was ever piled in the tombs of the dead kings, and we each of us deserve nothing, not a mouthful of bread in hunger. Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think.

Ursula K. Le Guin

There is no kingdom like the forests.

Ursula K. Le Guin

Having one king, one god, one belief, they can act single-mindedly.

Ursula K. Le Guin

One man may as easily destroy, as govern: be King or Anti-King.

Vladimir Putin

Russia will always remember the contribution [of King Fahd] in the development of Russian-Saudi relations, which in recent years were raised to a qualitatively higher level.

William Gurnall

For a beggar to live at court is not so much as the King to dwell with him in his cottage.

William Gurnall

Can Christ be in thou heart and thou not know it? Can one king be dethroned and another crowned in thy soul and thou hear no scuffle?

William Gurnall

How can God stoop lower than to come and dwell with a poor humble soul? Which is more than if he had said, such a one should dwell with him; for a beggar to live at court is not so much as the king to dwell with him in his cottage.

William Golding

I've come across a novel called The Palm-Wine Drinkard, by the Nigerian writer Amos Tutuola, that is really remarkable because it is a kind of fantasy of West African mythology all told in West African English which, of course, is not the same as standard English.

William Golding

What kind of human person has a favorite eraser?

William Beebe

To be a Naturalist is better than to be a King.

William Allingham

Ring-ting! I wish I were a primrose, A bright yellow primrose blowing in the spring! The stooping boughs above me, The wandering bee to love me, The fern and moss to creep across, And the elm-tree for our king!

William Barclay

Self-defense is a part of the law of nature; nor can it be denied the community, even against the king himself.

Wilferd Peterson

Cynics and critics wake us up. Kindness often covers up the truth and allows us to sleep on in our ignorance.

Wilferd Peterson

We give of ourselves when we give gifts of the heart: love, kindness, joy, understanding, sympathy, tolerance, forgiveness. . .

Washington Allston

It is a hard matter for a man to lie all over, nature having provided king's evidence in almost every member. The hand will sometimes act as a vane, to show which way the wind blows, even when every feature is set the other way; the knees smite together and sound the alarm of fear under a fierce countenance; the legs shake with anger when all above us calm.

Waylon Jennings

I was king of the mountain for a long time, well, I don't want that no more. I like to perform every once in a while for people who want to see me, and cut albums of music that is what I'm really about.
