I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger every innovation as a toilsome trouble every social advance as a first step toward revolution and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.

It is not materialism that is the chief curse of the world as pastors teach but idealism. Men get into trouble by taking their visions and hallucinations too seriously.

All the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think. The trouble is that men very often resort to all sorts of devices in order not to think because thinking is such hard work.

For many men the acquisition of wealth does not end their troubles it only changes them.

I mean for all of his faults and the troubles in his marriage Bill Clinton is still married to a girl he met in the library 25 years ago at school. Can we say that about many of our other leaders today in America including on the right wing?

I decided he'd changed so much that a whole new book was required and that book actually I can say so was the first to say that the marriage was in trouble and the Prince didn't like at all and my book was being serialized in the Sunday Times over five weeks.

All marriages are happy. It's the living together afterward that causes all the trouble.

I'm in trouble because I'm normal and slightly arrogant. A lot of people don't like themselves and I happen to be totally in love with myself.

Love feels no burden thinks nothing of trouble attempts what is above its strength pleads no excuse of impossibility for it thinks all things lawful for itself and all things possible.

Anyway no drug not even alcohol causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles we shouldn't test people for drugs we should test them for stupidity ignorance greed and love of power.

The trouble with law is lawyers.

Hopefully with each thing that you do you're learning something you're growing and you're pushing yourself a little harder in some way or another. So I think you'd be in real trouble if each new thing that you create didn't feel like 'Oh wow. I feel like I'm doing something a little different this time.'

The Tea Party was born out of the disgust many Americans felt early in the financial crisis upon learning that the federal government was even contemplating reducing the principal on some troubled mortgages.

There are many ways to grow football-wise. You go slow or are pushed to go faster otherwise you get left behind. For me there would be trouble in stopping learning.

I have terrible handwriting. I now say it's a learning disability... but a nun who was a very troubled woman hit me over the fingers with a ruler because my writing was so bad.

I had a lot of trouble with engineers because their whole background is learning from a functional point of view and then learning how to perform that function.

The trouble with the Labour Party leadership and the trade union leadership they're quite willing to applaud millions on the streets of the Philippines or in Eastern Europe without understanding the need to also produce millions of people on the streets of Britain.

Hitherto I have courted Truth with a kind of Romantick Passion in spite of all Difficulties and Discouragements: for knowledge is thought so unnecessary an Accomplishment for a Woman that few will give themselves the Trouble to assist us in the Attainment of it.

The jealous are troublesome to others but a torment to themselves.

Nothing has caused the human race so much trouble as intelligence.

In these troubled uncertain times we don't need more command and control we need better means to engage everyone's intelligence in solving challenges and crises as they arise.

Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?

It's a slight stretch of the imagination but most people are alike in most ways so I've never had any trouble identifying with the character that I'm playing.

Whether planned or not humor takes our mind off of our troubles.
