Talk:François de La Rochefoucauld

Maxim 474
Il y a peu de femmes dont le mérite dure plus que la beauté.

Few women's merit lasts as long as their beauty.

Doesn't it say lasts longer than their beauty? 203.160.115.248 12:47, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

"There are few women whose worth lasts longer than beauty."

Adding variants
On this and other pages, substituting what might be more accurate translations for those that have been provided often results in the loss of the most familiar and prevalent forms by which they are quoted. In this case many of the quotations that had been used seem to have been from the 1871 translations of J. W. Willis Bund and J. Hain Friswell as provided by Project Gutenberg (which currently seems to be having some kind of software malfunction so I won't link to it right now).

I think in all cases that it is preferable to retain quotations of such translations as might have become widely used, even if one is adding variant and more literally correct quotations. ~ Kalki 05:36, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Translation sources
Since no source is given for any of the translations, it really isn't proper for this article to have a "Sourced" section at all. Presumably the maxims must have been published in translation somewhere in the past 400 years, so it should not be too difficult to check the texts here against a published work in English. 121a0012 06:29, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Maxim 327
Maxim 327 (Nous n'avouons de petits défauts que pour persuader que nous n'en avons pas de grands) is currently translated as "We confess to little faults only to persuade ourselves we have no great ones". Shouldn't it be "We confess the little faults only to persuade ourselves we have no great ones". I've also found another translation : "We confess our little faults to persuade people that we have no large ones." I don't have a high level of French, but think this is better. Best regards, —surueña 09:18, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Unsourced
Wikiquote no longer allows unsourced quotations, and they are in process of being removed from our pages (see Wikiquote:Limits on quotations); but if you can provide a reliable and precise source for any quote on this list please move it to François de La Rochefoucauld. --Antiquary 17:29, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Aimez le chocolat à fond, sans complexe ni fausse honte, car rappelez-vous: sans un grain de folie, il n’est point d’homme raisonnable.
 * Love chocolate completely, without complexes or false shame; remember, 'there is no reasonable man without a spark of madness.'

 * Dans toutes les existences, on note une date où bifurque la destinée, soit vers une catastrophe, soit vers le succès.
 * In all lives, there is a date where destiny forks either towards catastrophe or towards success.

 * Il faut tenir à une résolution parce qu'elle est bonne, et non parce qu'on l'a prise.
 * One must be resolute because the resolution is good, not because one has resolved to do it.

 * Il n'est jamais plus difficile de bien parler que quand on a honte de se taire.
 * It is never more difficult to speak well than when one is ashamed to be silent.

 * Why can we remember the tiniest detail that has happened to us, and not remember how many times we have told it to the same person.

Quoted in Carnegie's 'How to Win Friends'
"La Rochefoucauld, the French philosopher, said: ‘If you want enemies, excel your friends; but if you want friends, let your friends excel you.’"

Preity Zinta
Preity Zinta (Hindi: प्रीति ज़िंटा, Urdu: پریتی زینتا ,) (born Preetam Singh Zinta) born 31 January 1974 is an Indian actress who appears in Bollywood movies.

Early life
Born in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, she studied at the Convent of Jesus and Mary School, Shimla. Her real name is Preetam Singh. At first she was going to do a English honours but decided to pursue psychology. She also attended Bombay University. After getting a degree in criminal psychology at the St. Bedes College, Zinta began her career as a model and commercial (ad films) actress (she was seen in Lyril's soap ad film).

Her father, Durganand Zinta was an officer in the Indian Army. Durganand Zinta died when Preity was thirteen, in a car accident in which her mother, Nilprabha Zinta was also involved. Her mother was bedridden because of this incident. Zinta has two brothers, Deepanker Zinta and Manish Zinta, a year older and a year younger respectively. One of her brothers is a commissioned officer in the Indian Army.

Career
She was meant to make her acting debut with Shekhar Kapur's Tara Rum Pum Pum opposite Hrithik Roshan but the film never took off. Her first movie to be released was supposed to be Soldier but due to delay Dil Se (1998) was released first. The film was her breakthrough role and she won the Filmfare Best Debut Award for her performance. Since then her career has been that of a typical Bollywood star: not many hits but not many flops either.

In 2003, Zinta was the female lead in two of the year's highest grossing films, Koi... Mil Gaya and Kal Ho Naa Ho. She won many awards for her role as "Naina" in Kal Ho Naa Ho. Her performance got her the Filmfare Best Actress Award.Since then she has appeared in the averagely received Lakshya (2004) and the box office hit Veer-Zaara (2004) and the semi-hit Salaam Namaste (2005). Salaam Namaste turned out to be the biggest hit overseas.

She joined a group of top stars (Shahrukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, Saif Ali Khan, Arjun Rampal, and Priyanka Chopra) in the Temptation 2004 concert, which was a huge international success. In May 2006, she along with Karan Johar received an invitation to represent Bollywood at the Cannes Film Festival. They took this opportunity to promote Karan Johar's latest film Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna which Preity also stars in. Zinta has written three columns for BBC South Asia.

Personal life
She has been linked with a few of her co-stars such as Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Aamir Khan but has always dismissed them as rumours. She is currently dating Ness Wadia, the heir to the Bombay Dyeing company.

Previously, when she was not shooting she used to return to Shimla. Zinta recently moved into her own home in Mumbai, which she bought in mid-2005. Preity is a very close friend of Hrithik Roshan and his wife Suzanne Khan. She is also friends with Abhishek Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Shitanshu ec. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Shitanshu ec~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Template talk:Sic

Formatting argument
The current "Explanation" section of this template includes the following text:

 * The style was taken from Spellings, which previously said:
 * "add "[sic]" (with italics and brackets, without quotes)"
 * As explained on w:Talk:Sic, the correct style is to italicize sic, but not the brackets.

I was curious about this assertion, as I've always thought the brackets should be parenthesized as well, the idea being that any text not in the original should be typographically offset from the original. I freely admit I could be wrong, and am willing to follow official practice, assuming one can be firmly established by citations from prominent style guidelines.

As is usual with a style issue, the cited WP discussion had people insisting that diametrically opposed styles were in common use and were the "right" way to do things. Here's what I've found so far, checking the citations given in the discussion. The "text" referred to here is the argument made for [sic] — square, unitalicized brackets and italicized Latin word — in the WP discussion page.)

The guidelines cited by the universities, their English departments, and/or their English instructors could be considered authoritative, but even in this argument being made by someone specifically to support square brackets, there is disagreement over italics. It is unclear whether the absence of counter arguments is because there are none, or because the citer didn't find or choose to include any. (Where are Oxford, Harvard, or Yale? Why a Comp Sci department?) Furthermore, there is only one professional style guide cited, and only for a brief statement that offers no explanation but cautions the need for "considerable editorial judgment".

There are very few, if any, iron-clad style rules in English-language publication. At least with publishers' style guides, we limit the scope to a few dozen prominent publishers instead of tens of thousands of universities and hundreds of thousands of English professors. More research must be done on this to claim any clear direction in the matter of brackets and italicization of either or both of the term and the brackets. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:45, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Autodidacticism

Removed tangential quotes
I've removed most of the quotes listed in this article, as they don't make clear their connection to autodidacticism. (There is a mood among current frequent editors to limit theme quotes to only those that actually use the subject phrase, or at least an unambiguous synonym, because of just this kind of "interpretative" inclusion.) I've added my rationale for each under the quote.

 * "If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in your field of bliss, and they open doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be." ~ Joseph Campbell
 * This is ostensibly about doing what one wants, not specifically about educating oneself.

 * "The new age of education is programmed for discovery rather than instruction. Art as radar environment, radar feedback, early warning system: the antennae of the race." ~ Marshall McLuhan
 * This is about education, not specifically about self-education. (Discovery is not inherently autodidacticism; compare standard American schools to many Asian rote-learning systems.)

 * "My education was of the most ordinary description, consisting of little more than the rudiments of reading, writing, and arithmetic at a common day school. My hours out of school were passed at home and in the streets." ~ Michael Faraday, who had little mathematics and no formal schooling beyond the primary grades, is celebrated as an experimenter who discovered the induction of electricity.  He was one of the great founders of modern physics.  It is generally acknowledged that Faraday's ignorance of mathematics contributed to his inspiration, that it compelled him to develop a simple, nonmathematical concept when he looked for an explanation of his electrical and magnetic phenomena.  Faraday is considered by some to have possessed two qualities that more than made up for his lack of traditional education: fantastic intuition, and independence and originality of mind.
 * This is a quote from an autodidact, not a quote about autodidacticism. The mini-essay is better suited to Wikipedia than Wikiquote.

 * "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education." ~ Albert Einstein
 * It's not ostensibly clear what kind of "learning" and "education" Einstein is talking about.

 * "It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education." ~ Albert Einstein
 * This is about curiosity and criticism of formal education. It doesn't mention autodidacticism as an alternative.

 * "I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker... I never learned anything at all in school and didn't read a book for pleasure until I was 19 years old." ~ Stanley Kubrick
 * Another criticism of the state of formal education. Kubrick does not claim to be self-taught, only ill-educated.

 * "I loved education, which is why I spent as little time as possible in school." ~ Karl Hess, activist and political speechwriter, from Playboy magazine interview.
 * It's unclear whether this is about autodidacticism or just a criticism of schools.

(Also note that none of these quotes is adequately sourced.) The quotes I've left in the article are at least arguably about self-directed education, although only two of them are clear on the subject. (I was sorely tempted to remove the Jada Pinkett Smith and Mark Twain quotes, but I left them in for now to retain a little substance.)

For those who wonder if there are people who would specifically talk about autodidacticism, I highly recommend the fascinating educational journey of Kendall Hailey in her book The Day I Became an Autodidact. I'm sure there are many more folks who are also quotable on the subject. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:42, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

 * The Wachowski brothers are very unique. They are probably— Larry and Andy are probably two of the smartest people I know. Larry reads everything. He reads everything. I mean, everything, you know what I mean. One thing I learned through Larry, through Andy also, is that life is about research. Larry, he's constantly researching. And he's constantly reading and that's one thing that I've taken away from this project, that life is about research.

 * I never let schooling get in the way of my education.

 * Explanation is nothing but condensed descriptions.

 * The aim of natural science is to obtain connections among phenomena. Theories, however, are like withered leaves, which drop off after having enabled the organism of science to breathe for a time.

 * The aim is not to produce bold hypotheses as to the essence of matter, or to explain the movement of a body from that of molecules, but to present equations which, free from hypotheses, are as far as possible true and quantitatively correct correspondents of the phenomenal world, careless of the essence of things and forces. In his book on mechanics, Kirchhoff will ban all metaphysical concepts, such as forces, the cause of a motion; he seeks only the equations which correspond so far as possible to observed motions.

 * Substance is a convenient word for a gap in our thoughts.

 * [All we have in science is] knowledge of the connexion of appearences with one another. What we represent to ourselves behind the appearances exists only in our understanding, and has for us only the value of a memoria technica or formula… But if this way of presentation is so limited and inflexible that it no longer allows us to follow the many-sidedness of phenomena [it should be discarded.] --this is from History and Root of the Principle of the Conservation of Energy, 1910, page 50

 * The mechanical theory of nature… is an artificial conception. [Or, most revealing:] Purely mechanical phenomena… are abstractions.

 * Our knowledge of a natural phenomenon […] is as complete as possible when our thoughts so marshal before the eye of the mind all the relevant sense-given facts of the case that they may be regarded almost as a substitute for the phenomenon itself […] more insight than this we cannot have, and more we do not require.

 * This absolute time [Newton's idea] can be measured by comparison with no motion; it has therefore neither a practical nor a scientific value; and no one is justified in saying that he knows aught about it. It is an idle metaphysical conception.

 * Truth suffers herself to be courted, but evidently she has no desire to be won.

 * The true inquirer seeks the truth everywhere.

 * In ceasing to regard man as the centre of the universe; in discovering that the earth is a top whirled about the sun, which speeds off with it into infinite space; in finding that in the fixed stars the same elements exist as on the earth; in meeting everywhere the same processes of which the life of man is merely a vanishingly small part - in such things too is a widening of our view of the world, and edification, and poetry.

If it explodes...
I have a variation on this quote on my own user page:
 * If it breathes, it's Biology; if it blows up, it's Chemistry; and if it does nothing at all, it's Physics.

I removed it from an article a while back, as it was unsourced and apparently attributed to a "Dr Brown", instructor at Tiffin Boys' School, by. If you have any information on it that might help source it properly, I'd like to know. Thanks. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:13, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

John Smith (Labour Party leader)

John Smith QC (13 September 1938 – 12 May 1994) was a British Labour politician who served as Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the Labour Party from July 1992 until his death from a heart attack in May 1994.

Quotes

 * If it is the case that one Department of this Government deliberately organised a leak to frustrate a Minister in the same Government, that is not only dirty tricks but a habit that is inimical to the practice of good government in this country.
 * Hansard, House of Commons, 6th series, vol. 89, col. 1157.
 * Speech on the Westland affair (15 January 1986).

 * In the course of a few weeks the one policy with which the Prime Minister was uniquely and personally associated, the contribution to policy of which he appears to have been most proud, has been blown apart, and with it has gone for ever any claim by the Prime Minister or the party that he leads to economic competence. He is the devalued Prime Minister of a devalued Government.
 * Hansard, House of Commons, 6th series, vol. 212, col. 22.
 * House of Commons speech (24 September 1992), referring to Black Wednesday.

 * The fundamental flaw in the individualism of the classical writers, and their modern counterparts in today's Conservative Party, is, I believe, their assumption that human beings conduct their lives on the basis of self-interested decisions taken in radical isolation from others. This thesis grotesquely ignores the intrinsically social nature of human beings and fails to recognize the capabilities that all people have to act in response to commitments and beliefs that clearly transcend any narrow calculation of personal advantage.
 * R. H. Tawney Lecture (Reclaiming the Ground) (March 1993), quoted in Guiding Light: The Collected Speeches of John Smith, ed. Brian Brivati (2000), p. 217

 * We ought, therefore, in the battle of ideas which is at the centre of the political struggle, to be confident in the strength of our intellectual case. But I believe we must also argue for our cause on the basis of its moral foundation. It is a sense of revulsion at injustice and poverty and denied opportunity, whether at home or abroad, which impels people to work for a better world, to become, as in our case, democratic socialists.
 * R. H. Tawney Lecture (Reclaiming the Ground) (March 1993), quoted in Guiding Light: The Collected Speeches of John Smith, ed. Brian Brivati (2000), p. 222

 * In response to the plummeting popularity of the Administration itself, revealed at Newbury and in the shire county elections, we have the Prime Minister's botched reshuffle. If we were to offer that tale of events to the BBC light entertainment department as a script for a programme, I think that the producers of "Yes, Minister" would have turned it down as hopelessly over the top. It might have even been too much for "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'em". The tragedy for us all is that it is really happening—it is fact, not fiction. The man with the non-Midas touch is in charge. It is no wonder that we live in a country where the Grand National does not start and hotels fall into the sea.
 * Hansard, House of Commons, 6th series, vol. 226, col. 292.
 * House of Commons speech (9 June 1993). That year's Grand National horse race had been declared void after a start-line mishap. The Holbeck Hall Hotel in Scarborough began to fall into the sea on 3 June 1993 due to coastal erosion.

 * The opportunity to serve our country—that is all we ask.
 * Speech to Labour Party fund-raising dinner (11 May 1994, the night before his death).

 * The Scots are a more moral people [than the English].
 * As told to Financial Times journalist, John Lloyd. Not So Canny, Prospect (18 December 2004).

Quotes about John Smith

 * He performed a completely different function from Neil Kinnock – he healed the wounds of the Party.
 * Tony Benn, diary entry (12 May 1994), quoted in Tony Benn, Free at Last! Diaries, 1990–2001 (2002), p. 239

 * Smith would have been a better leader than Tony Blair. It would have been a completely different party.
 * Tony Benn, quoted in Mark Stuart, John Smith: A Life (2005), p. 409

 * It can fairly be said of John Smith that he had all the virtues of a Scottish presbyterian, but none of the vices.
 * Hansard HC 6ser vol 243 col 437
 * Menzies Campbell, Liberal Democrat MP and colleague at the Scottish bar.

 * John was essentially a fudge leader. Tony Blair was the linear descendant of Neil Kinnock as a modernising Labour leader. John Smith was not.
 * Charles Clarke, quoted in Philip Gould, The Unfinished Revolution: How the Modernisers Saved the Labour Party (1998), p. 178

 * He is ready to embrace whatever changes are necessary, whether it be in policy or the party's internal structures. But his core values – a very Scottish species of practical Christian socialism – are not negotiable.
 * Ivo Dawnay, 'Scottish sword-play', The Financial Times (15 July 1992), p. 14

 * [I]f John Smith had lived I think it would have been a very great advantage for the party. I think he had a better understanding of the Labour movement than others do.
 * Michael Foot, quoted in Simon Hattenstone, 'Saint Michael', The Guardian (4 November 2002)

 * [Smith's death was] one of the greatest tragedies to beset the Labour Party...the country was robbed of a great Prime Minister.
 * Denis Healey, quoted in Mark Stuart, John Smith: A Life (2005), p. 410

 * John was a product of the Labour Party of Gaitskell, Wilson and Callaghan, and he had a deep commitment to preserving it, realising that certain things had to be done, like introducing OMOV in order to secure that kind of Party. In that sense, he was a moderniser, but it had to be done in a way that would not offend the traditional principles of the Party. He liked the way the Labour Party did things. New Labour felt that they couldn't make that old system work, and made significant changes – like Clause IV – wholesale reform of which John had rejected.
 * Norman Hogg, quoted in Mark Stuart, John Smith: A Life (2005), p. 408

 * John unified and therefore massively strengthened the Party by being completely unsectarian. Because he knew himself and was at ease with himself he treated everyone with respect.
 * Clare Short, 'John Smith's qualities and quality', Tribune (27 May 1994)

 * John gave the Party a feeling of what we were about. The best and only way of achieving Labour's values was through social justice. Social justice was what drove him, and he gave it back to the Labour Party.
 * Chris Smith, quoted in Mark Stuart, John Smith: A Life (2005), p. 409

 * He is hesitant about what they will do on the unions. I say, "You owe Mrs Thatcher a great deal. She has made it possible for unions to become led by moderates who will support the Labour leadership and you will hold the Conference and stop them passing dotty things." He agreed.
 * Woodrow Wyatt, diary entry (27 March 1986), quoted in Woodrow Wyatt, The Journals of Woodrow Wyatt, Volume One, ed. Sarah Curtis (1998), p. 107

 * I talked to John Smith... I asked him whether Labour would raise the top rate of forty per cent [in income tax] if they became the government and he was the Chancellor. He said, "No, not exactly, but we would have it graded upwards as they do in Germany and other countries. But we would not go back to the old penal rates."
 * Woodrow Wyatt, diary entry (24 March 1988), quoted in Woodrow Wyatt, The Journals of Woodrow Wyatt, Volume One, ed. Sarah Curtis (1998), p. 524

 * I talked to John Smith. He said, "I don't know if it has percolated down to people like you yet but we would run a very tough government, not a reckless one as there was before."
 * Woodrow Wyatt, diary entry (10 May 1990), quoted in Woodrow Wyatt, The Journals of Woodrow Wyatt, Volume Two, ed. Sarah Curtis (1999), p. 291

Quotes

 * The rich prided themselves upon their superiority to those who were less favored; but they had obtained their riches by violation of the law of God. They had neglected to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to deal justly, and to love mercy. They had sought to exalt themselves and to obtain the homage of their fellow creatures. ... They have sold their souls for earthly riches and enjoyments, and have not sought to become rich toward God. The result is, their lives are a failure; their pleasures are now turned to gall, their treasures to corruption.
 * The Great Controversy (1911 edition), p. 248

 * The Sovereign of the universe was not alone in His work of beneficence. He had an associate—a co-worker who could appreciate His purposes, and could share His joy in giving happiness to created beings. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.” John 1:1, 2. Christ, the Word, the only begotten of God, was one with the eternal Father—one in nature, in character, in purpose—the only being that could enter into all the counsels and purposes of God. “His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6. His “goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” Micah 5:2. And the Son of God declares concerning Himself: “The Lord possessed Me in the beginning of His way, before His works of old. I was set up from everlasting. ... When He appointed the foundations of the earth: then I was by Him, as one brought up with Him: and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him.” Proverbs 8:22-30.
 * Patriarchs and Prophets 34.1

 * The influence of the Holy Spirit is the life of Christ in the soul. We do not see Christ and speak to Him, but His Holy Spirit is just as near us in one place as in another. It works in and through every one who receives Christ. Those who know the indwelling of the Spirit reveal the fruits of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith (MS 41, 1897).
 * The SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 6, p. 1112.

 * The life of the Christian is not all smooth. He has stern conflicts to meet. Severe temptations assail him. ‘The flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh.’ The nearer we come to the close of this earth’s history, the more delusive and ensnaring will be the attacks of the enemy. His attacks will grow fiercer and more frequent. Those who resist light and truth will become more hardened and unimpressible, and more bitter against those who love God and keep His commandments (MS 33, 1911).
 * The SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 6, p. 1111.

 * Not all the wisdom and skill of man can produce life in the smallest object in nature.
 * Steps to Christ, p. 49

 * The strongest argument in favor of the gospel is a loving and lovable Christian.
 * The Ministry of Healing, p. 470

 * True Christian love cherished in the heart and exemplified in the life, would teach us to put the best possible construction upon the course of our brethren. We should be as jealous of their reputation as of our own. If we are forever suspecting evil, this very fact will so shape their course of action as to produce the very evil which we have allowed ourselves to suspect. In this way, a great many difficulties are manufactured that otherwise would never have had birth, and brethren are often wronged by our being suspicious, free to judge their motives, and express our opinion to others in regard to their actions. That which one may be ready to construe into grave wrongs, may be no more than we ourselves are chargeable with every day.
 * The Review and Herald (15 April 1880); also in Mind, Character, and Personality (1977), Vol. 2, p. 789

 * I wish that we had much more of the Spirit of Christ and a great deal less self, and less of human opinions. If we err, let it be on the side of mercy rather than on the side of condemnation and harsh dealing
 * Letter 16, 1887, also in Testimonies on Sexual Behavior, Adultery, and Divorce (1989), p. 242

 * There are many whose religion consists in criticising habits of dress and manners. They want to bring every one to their own measure. They desire to lengthen out those who seem too short for their standard, and to cut down others who seem too long. They have lost the love of God out of their hearts; but they think they have a spirit of discernment. They think it is their prerogative to criticise, and pronounce judgment; but they should repent of their error, and turn away from their sins... Let us love one another. Let us have harmony and union throughout our ranks. Let us have our hearts sanctified to God. Let us look upon the light that abides for us in Jesus. Let us remember how forbearing and patient He was with the erring children of men. We should be in a wretched state if the God of heaven were like one of us, and treated us as we are inclined to treat one another.
 * The Review and Herald (27 August 1889), p. 530.

 * We must not think, "Well, we have all the truth, we understand the main pillars of our faith, and we may rest on this knowledge." The truth is an advancing truth, and we must walk in the increasing light.
 * The Review and Herald (27 March 1890); also in Counsels for Writers and Editors (1946), p. 33; also in Evangelism (1946), p. 296; also in 1888 - The Ellen G. White 1888 Materials (1987), Ch. 64, p. 547.

 * Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend. Not that it is necessary in order to make known to God what we are, but in order to enable us to receive Him. Prayer does not bring God down to us, but brings us up to Him.
 * Steps to Christ (1892), p. 93

 * Why should the sons and daughters of God be reluctant to pray, when prayer is the key in the hand of faith to unlock heaven's storehouse, where are treasured the boundless resources of Omnipotence.
 * Steps to Christ(1892), p. 94

 * It is not earthly rank, nor birth, nor nationality, nor religious privilege, which proves that we are members of the family of God; it is love, a love that embraces all humanity.
 * Thoughts From The Mount Of Blessing (1896) Ch. 3, "The Spirituality of the Law", p. 75

 * The greatest want of the world is the want of men—men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.
 * Education, p. 57, c 1903, 1952, The Ellen G. White Publications; Pacific Press Publishing Association.

 * In the prayer of faith there is a divine science; it is a science that everyone who would make his lifework a success must understand.
 * Education (1903), Ch. 30, Faith and Prayer, p. 257

 * Many are to believe on Christ through the communication of truth by His servants. As they see the beauty of the Word of God, and as they see Jesus revealed in the lives of His children, they will praise Him with heart and soul and voice.
 * The Signs of the Times (9 December 1903], paragraph 10

 * Early in my public labors I was bidden by the Lord, "Write, write the things that are revealed to you." At the time this message came to me, I could not hold my hand steady. My physical condition made it impossible for me to write. But again came the word, "Write the things that are revealed to you." I obeyed; and as the result it was not long before I could write page after page with comparative ease. Who told me what to write? Who steadied my right hand, and made it possible for me to use a pen? — It was the Lord.
 * The Review and Herald (14 June 1906), p. 8

 * When will the church do her appointed work? She is represented as an angel of light, flying through heaven with the everlasting gospel to be proclaimed to the world. This represents the speed and directness with which the church is to prosecute her work.
 * Medical Ministry (1932), p. 131

 * God has set up a high standard of righteousness. He has made plain a distinction between human and divine wisdom. All who work on Christ's side must work to save, not to destroy.
 * Medical Ministry (1932), p. 133

 * You need clear, energetic minds, in order to appreciate the exalted character of the truth, to value the atonement, and to place the right estimate upon eternal things.

 * If the life we live in this world is wholly for Christ, it is a life of daily surrender.
 * Vol. 6, p. 116

Christ's Object Lessons (1900)

 * In Christ's parable teaching the same principle is seen as in His own mission to the world. That we might become acquainted with His divine character and life, Christ took our nature and dwelt among us. Divinity was revealed in humanity; the invisible glory in the visible human form. Men could learn of the unknown through the known; heavenly things were revealed through the earthly; God was made manifest in the likeness of men. So it was in Christ's teaching: the unknown was illustrated by the known; divine truths by earthly things with which the people were most familiar.
 * Ch. 1, p. 17

 * Not only the things of nature, but the sacrificial service and the Scriptures themselves — all given to reveal God — were so perverted that they became the means of concealing Him. Christ sought to remove that which obscured the truth. The veil that sin has cast over the face of nature, He came to draw aside, bringing to view the spiritual glory that all things were created to reflect. His words placed the teachings of nature as well as of the Bible in a new aspect, and made them a new revelation.
 * Ch. 1, p. 19

 * Christ interpreted the message which He Himself had given to the lilies and the grass of the field. He desires us to read it in every lily and every spire of grass. His words are full of assurance, and tend to confirm trust in God. So wide was Christ's view of truth, so extended His teaching, that every phase of nature was employed in illustrating truth. The scenes upon which the eye daily rests were all connected with some spiritual truth, so that nature is clothed with the parables of the Master.
 * Ch. 1, p. 19

 * Jesus desired to awaken inquiry. He sought to arouse the careless, and impress truth upon the heart. Parable teaching was popular, and commanded the respect and attention, not only of the Jews, but of the people of other nations. No more effective method of instruction could He have employed.
 * Ch. 1, p. 20

 * Christ had truths to present which the people were unprepared to accept or even to understand. For this reason also He taught them in parables. By connecting His teaching with the scenes of life, experience, or nature, He secured their attention and impressed their hearts. Afterward, as they looked upon the objects that illustrated His lessons, they recalled the words of the divine Teacher. To minds that were open to the Holy Spirit, the significance of the Saviour's teaching unfolded more and more. Mysteries grew clear, and that which had been hard to grasp became evident. Jesus sought an avenue to every heart. By using a variety of illustrations, He not only presented truth in its different phases, but appealed to the different hearers. Their interest was aroused by figures drawn from the surroundings of their daily life. None who listened to the Saviour could feel that they were neglected or forgotten. The humblest, the most sinful, heard in His teaching a voice that spoke to them in sympathy and tenderness.  And He had another reason for teaching in parables. Among the multitudes that gathered about Him, there were priests and rabbis, scribes and elders, Herodians and rulers, world-loving, bigoted, ambitious men, who desired above all things to find some accusation against Him. Their spies followed His steps day after day, to catch from His lips something that would cause His condemnation, and forever silence the One who seemed to draw the world after Him. The Saviour understood the character of these men, and He presented truth in such a way that they could find nothing by which to bring His case before the Sanhedrim. In parables He rebuked the hypocrisy and wicked works of those who occupied high positions, and in figurative language clothed truth of so cutting a character that had it been spoken in direct denunciation, they would not have listened to His words, and would speedily have put an end to His ministry. But while He evaded the spies, He made truth so clear that error was manifested, and the honest in heart were profited by His lessons.
 * Ch. 1, p. 22

 * He said nothing to gratify curiosity, or to satisfy man's ambition by opening doors to worldly greatness. In all His teaching, Christ brought the mind of man in contact with the Infinite Mind. He did not direct the people to study men's theories about God, His word, or His works. He taught them to behold Him as manifested in His works, in His word, and by His providences. Christ did not deal in abstract theories, but in that which is essential to the development of character, that which will enlarge man's capacity for knowing God, and increase his efficiency to do good. He spoke to men of those truths that relate to the conduct of life, and that take hold upon eternity.
 * Ch. 1, p. 23

 * Through the creation we are to become acquainted with the Creator. The book of nature is a great lesson book, which in connection with the Scriptures we are to use in teaching others of His character, and guiding lost sheep back to the fold of God. As the works of God are studied, the Holy Spirit flashes conviction into the mind. It is not the conviction that logical reasoning produces; but unless the mind has become too dark to know God, the eye too dim to see Him, the ear too dull to hear His voice, a deeper meaning is grasped, and the sublime, spiritual truths of the written word are impressed on the heart. In these lessons direct from nature, there is a simplicity and purity that makes them of the highest value. All need the teaching to be derived from this source. In itself the beauty of nature leads the soul away from sin and worldly attractions, and toward purity, peace, and God.

 * The Sabbath bids us behold in His created works the glory of the Creator. And it was because He desired us to do this that Jesus bound up His precious lessons with the beauty of natural things. On the holy rest day, above all other days, we should study the messages that God has written for us in nature. We should study the Saviour's parables where He spoke them, in the fields and groves, under the open sky, among the grass and flowers. As we come close to the heart of nature, Christ makes His presence real to us, and speaks to our hearts of His peace and love.
 * Ch. 1, p. 25 - 26

 * Nature utters her voice in lessons of heavenly wisdom and eternal truth.
 * Ch. 8, p. 107

 * The Bible is God's great lesson book.
 * Ch. 8, p. 107

 * We need the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit in order to discern the truths in God's word. The lovely things of the natural world are not seen until the sun, dispelling the darkness, floods them with its light. So the treasures in the word of God are not appreciated until they are revealed by the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness. The Holy Spirit, sent from heaven by the benevolence of infinite love, takes the things of God and reveals them to every soul that has an implicit faith in Christ. By His power the vital truths upon which the salvation of the soul depends are impressed upon the mind, and the way of life is made so plain that none need err therein. As we study the Scriptures, we should pray for the light of God's Holy Spirit to shine upon the word, that we may see and appreciate its treasures.'''
 * Ch. 8, p. 113

 * Let none think that there is no more knowledge for them to gain. The depth of human intellect may be measured; the works of human authors may be mastered; but the highest, deepest, broadest flight of the imagination cannot find out God. There is infinity beyond all that we can comprehend. We have seen only the glimmering of divine glory and of the infinitude of knowledge and wisdom; we have, as it were, been working on the surface of the mine, when rich golden ore is beneath the surface, to reward the one who will dig for it.
 * Ch. 8, p. 114

Talk:Ellen G. White

Should also link Ellen White, Ellen Gould White, and EGW to this page. Bounton 02:41, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

New Arrangement
The arrangement today, when she was featured on QOTD, is an affront to Ellen G. White and the SDA Church, specifically a picture from the Divine Comedy by Dante after he had emerged from Purgatory which has no place in her teachings. She lived a simple unadorned life and does not deserve a string of cheesy pictures down the side of otherwise serious quotations, Jesus notwithstanding. - ARGU E WORDS  | T a l k 17:44, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Jeepers Creepers (film)

Jeepers Creepers is a 2001 film about a brother and sister who are harassed by a human-eating creature while coming home on spring break.
 * Written and directed by Victor Salva

WhAT's EATing you?

Darry Jenner

 * Get a load of that nasty old thing. What is that, the vehicle choice of assholes and fucking serial killers?
 * I'm so scared Trish.
 * This guy must have 500, maybe 600 bodies down there, and I've seen 'um! Stuck up on the walls like some psycho version of the Sistine Chapel!
 * ...Trish...I think we found our body...
 * She did lose her head, Darla lost her head, just like they said. And you know what he did, Trish? You know what he did for her? H-He sewed it back on. He sewed it right back on...!

Trish Jenner

 * [to Darry] You look like you just crawled out of a sewer.
 * The point of having a portable phone you idiot, is that it works when you need it!
 * You know the part in scary movies when somebody does something really stupid, and everybody hates him for it? This is it.

The Cat Lady

 * That's not my scarecrow.
 * What the hell did you bring into my house?
 * ...You kids got anyone else with you?...

Jezelle Hartman

 * [to Trish and Darry] You've got something it likes... one of you.
 * It dresses like a man, but only to hide that it's not.
 * It eats lungs so it can breath, it eats eyes so it can see. Whatever it eats...becomes a part of it.
 * I don't know if its a demon or a devil...or just some hungry thing from some dark place in time...I just know that it's not gonna stop coming after you, or anyone else it wants to. Once it has the scent of something it likes...It can't, it can't stop.
 * When you hear that song you run, and I mean run! 'Cause that song means something terrible for you, something so terrible you couldn't dream of it...not in your worst most terrible nightmare!
 * I think Its eaten too many hearts for Its own to ever stop...
 * It needs to scare you. There's something in fear, something it can smell. Something that tells it if there's anything inside someone that it might...like.
 * Every 23rd Spring for 23 days it gets to...eat...
 * Have you seen the cats yet?
 * [to Sergeant Tubbs] You've got missing persons and a fire in the next county, go do something useful!
 * You don't understand...

Other

 * Officer: We have a blackout. That means emergency head count. Hey, lower bunk, let me see some skin. [inmate gives him the middle finger] That is special, I love you too.
 * Dying Boy: ...H-h-h-ide...
 * The Creeper: [in a deleted scene, referring to The Cat Lady] She don't smell too good...Darius!
 * Officer: [The Creepers shows it's wing-like mandibles and skin flaps and screeches] What in the holy mammal?

Dialogue

 * Trish: [after being attacked] What the hell was that guy's problem?
 * Darry: For my 1st guess, INBREEDING‼

 * Darry: [after being run off the road by the creeper] Sounds alright. What?
 * Trish: Like either of us would know.
 * Darry: I know a little.
 * Trish: A car makes a strange noise you just get new tape, Darry. You told me.
 * Darry: I told you? I learned it from you.
 * Trish: Jesus Christ.
 * Darry: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait…Wait, I’m thinking past the point of my own selfish little existence now, okay?  We’re both pretty damn sure what we saw him dump down that pipe, right?
 * Trish: Yeah.
 * Darry: What if it's someone still alive?
 * Trish: What if it was?
 * Darry: Someone who needs help!
 * Trish: We can get help just as fast by getting to a phone.
 * Darry: Do you have any idea how far we are from the nearest pay phone?
 * Trish: We were just attacked Darry!
 * Darry: And you don't even want to find out why? We look in the pipe, that's it.
 * Trish: Is this your idea of a little adventure or something? This is why girls are smarter, okay.
 * Darry: We look in the pipe; and if there's nothing there, nothing we can do we just drive on home and we call the cops. And you know that's what we should do?
 * Trish: Bullshit I do.
 * Darry: Bullshit you don't! Look me in the eye and tell me you can just drive away. Just drive off, leave whoever's back there, back there. Maybe find out later, they'd still be alive if you had just gone back.
 * Trish: Don't try and make this about the right thing to do. You just want to go back there and see if there's something nasty at the end of that pipe.
 * Darry: Okay, okay. What if it was you back there?
 * Trish: I am not getting out of this car!
 * Darry: You don't have to.
 * Trish: I am not!

 * Waitress: Hey! That’s your car out by the pumps it’d it?  Bunch of folks saw him from the window.  That man at your car.  He was standing by your car, sniffin’ that laundry; holdin’ big handfuls of it under his nose.  Looked like he was likin’ it too.
 * Darry: Still think I bumped by head? Now this guy is after us!  He’s after us because he knows what we saw.  And now he even knows my name!

 * Trish: [as Darry speeds up behind a camper] Come on, Darry.
 * Darry: [trying to read the license plate that says 6A4EVR] ..."Gay-Gay Fever"--no, "Gay Forever." "Gay Forever," that's mine. That's three for little bro'.
 * Trish: That's a six, not a G, you idiot. That's "Sexy Forever." That's mine. That's five to two.
 * Darry: Shit.
 * Trish: "Gay Fever?"
 * Darry: [as they speed up next to the camper and see an old couple] Woah...Sexy Forever, huh?
 * Trish: You know that is you in forty years.

 * Darry: There's usually a reason why you like the long way home.
 * Trish: Gee, like, maybe I like the country?
 * Darry: Mmmm, okay.
 * Trish: Just drive, brat.
 * Darry: Hey, I'm only thinking the same thing mom and dad are going to be thinking. "Trisha, Trisha why are you driving home for spring break with your brat brother, and not heading off somewhere with that nice 'Mr. Poli-Sci-Track-Team-Guy'?"
 * Trish: Ugh, I will tell them the same thing I'll tell you: None of your goddamn business.

 * Darry: [After Trish turns off the radio] You wanted the back way home. That's 10 hours of preachers, farm reports, and country music.
 * Trish: Could you possibly just shut up and drive, please?
 * Darry: "You broke my heart in two. Now I can't find the...Duct tape to put it together for you." Come on, girl, sing along now. "When I met you, I thought I would die. I wanted to cry. Didn't know you were evil, or that you would hurt me...'Mr. Poli-Sci-Track-Team-Guy'. Turns out you're a twit and a real--" [The Creeper's truck comes up behind them, horns blaring] Jesus‼

 * Darry: [about his cellphone] Don't worry I have a power cord for that.
 * Trish: Yeah, and I have a cigarette lighter, THAT DOESN'T WORK!

 * Darry: We have to get out of here.
 * Trish: No, let's stay and feed the birds.

 * [after running over the Creeper]
 * Darry: Is he dead?
 * Trish: They never are.

 * Trish: [looking back at the road] That was a stop sign.
 * Darry: You're kidding, right?
 * Trish: In your car, I'd be kidding.
 * Darry: On this road? I haven't seen a car in fifty miles.

 * Darry: He dumped something down that pipe.
 * Trish: Wrapped in a sheet.
 * Darry: Wrapped in rope and a sheet.
 * Trish: Wrapped in rope and a sheet with red stains on it... just get us out of here!

 * [Trish and Darry pull up at the Cat Lady's house]
 * Darry: Come on, Trish, look at this place. Let's just keep going. I mean it, come on.
 * Trish: You don't wanna get help?
 * Darry: Help from who?
 * Trish: Let's just use the phone.
 * Darry: And call who?
 * Trish: I don't know.
 * Darry: And tell them what?
 * Trish: I don't know!
 * Darry: "Hey, bum-fuck police, I'm being chased by a guy who likes to pull tongues out of severed heads with his teeth. Is there a special extension for that?"

 * The Cat Lady: You got ten seconds to get your ass out of my yard, and don't think I'm gonna tell ya twice!
 * Trish: Get the hell away from him.
 * Darry: What are you doing, Trish?
 * Trish: Get the hell away from him!

 * Trish: Christ, do you think they even have a phone?
 * Darry: I'm guessing no phones and a lot of guns.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Gladiator. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Gladiator~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
