Rule Quotes
-
As a rule, said Holmes, the more bizarre a thing is the less mysterious it proves to be. It is your commonplace, featureless crimes which are really puzzling, just as a commonplace face is the most difficult to identify.
Arthur Conan Doyle
-
In cases where every thing is understood, and measured, and reduced to rule, love is out of the question.
William Godwin
-
By rejecting the authority of the individual and replacing it by the numbers of some momentary mob, the parliamentary principle of majority rule sins against the basic aristocratic principle of Nature.
Adolf Hitler
-
The enthronement of Christ over the minds of men is steadily going forward. His kingdom embraces the princes in the realm of mind. It embraces the nations of highest civilization. They are all beneath the cross. It is maintained by simple authority. Other mental monarchs rule by logic; Christ's word is law--it is satisfying to His subjects. His truth in the hands of His disciples, like the bread He broke upon the mountains, is an ample supply for the millions that gather at His table.
Edward Thomson

I made a rule for myself in my early 20s not to become a record collector in the sense that I reference all my old records. I can't live like that. I'd just be trapped in comparison, trying to emulate something, so I made a rule to just buy what I need, just the records I need.
Jack White

To the extent to which we believe in this world, we are heir to the laws which rule this place.
Marianne Williamson
-
Divide and rule, a sound motto. Unite and lead, a better one.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
-
The expectation that every neurotic phenomenon can be cured may, I suspect, be derived from the layman's belief that the neuroses are something quite unnecessary which have no right whatever to exist. Whereas in fact they are severe, constitutionally fixed illnesses, which rarely restrict themselves to only a few attacks but persist as a rule over long periods throughout life.
Sigmund Freud
-
I do not subscribe to any rigid and mechanical rule ... I intend to be flexible and to learn from experience.
Ben Bernanke
-
Man, we couldn't even approach them. There were so many rules on that tour. It was fun, but, the stupidest rule? If they came walking down the hall, you couldn't make eye contact with them. If they came over to you, then you could talk to them, but they had to approach first. I mean, c'mon man, this is ridiculous.
Abe Cunningham
-
Then he launched into a classic statement of his political philosophy. I appreciate all you say about what Bryanism means, and I also … am as strongly opposed to populism in every stage as the greatest representative of corrupt wealth, but … these representatives … have themselves been responsible for a portion of the conditions against which Bryanism is in ignorant, and sometimes wicked revolt. I do not believe it is wise or safe for us as a party to take refuge in mere negation and to say that there are no evils to be corrected. It seems to me that our attitude should be one of correcting the evils and thereby showing, that, whereas the populists, socialists and others really do not correct the evils at all … the Republicans hold the just balance and set our faces as resolutely against improper corporate influence on the one hand as against demagogy and mob rule on the other.
Edmund Morris
-
The only rule is there are no rules.
Aristotle Onassis
-
To be brave without compassion, generous without moderation, and rule without refraining from being first in the world, are certain deaths.
Lao Tzu
-
In bad or corrupted natures the body will often appear to rule over the soul, because they are in an evil and unnatural condition. At all events we may firstly observe in living creatures both a despotical and a constitutional rule; for the soul rules the body with a despotical rule, whereas the intellect rules the appetites with a constitutional and royal rule. And it is clear that the rule of the soul over the body, and of the mind and the rational element over the passionate, is natural and expedient; whereas the equality of the two or the rule of the inferior is always hurtful.
Aristotle
-
In the human mind, one-sidedness has always been the rule, and many-sidedness the exception. Hence, even in revolutions of opinion, one part of the truth usually sets while another rises.
John Stuart Mill
-
Today we rule Germany, tomorrow, the world.
Adolf Hitler
