Ockham, William of Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter
necessitatem. Another Version: Pluralitas non est ponenda
sine necessitate. Onasander Envy is a pain of mind that successful men cause their neighbors. -- Onasander, The General Vigor is found in the man who has not yet grown old, and discretion in the man who is not too young. -- Onasander, The General Oppenheimer, J. Robert We may be likened to two scorpions in a bottle, each capable of killing the other, but only at the risk of his own life. -- J. Robert Oppenheimer, "Atomic Weapons and American Policy," Foreign Affairs, July 1953 This is a world in which each of us, knowing his limitations, knowing the evils of superficiality and the terrors of fatigue, will have to cling to what is close to him, to what he knows, to what he can do, to his friends and his tradition and his love, lest he be dissolved in a universal confusion and know nothing and love nothing. -- J. Robert Oppenheimer, The Open Mind Orwell, George All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others. -- George Orwell, Animal Farm Whatever is funny is subversive, every joke is ultimately a custard pie...A dirty joke is...sort of mental revolution. -- George Orwell, The Art of Donald McGill Big Brother is watching you. -- George Orwell, 1984 Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind sinultaneously, and accepting both of them. -- George Orwell, 1984 Overbury, Sir Thomas He disdains all thing above his reach, and preferreth all countries before his own. -- Sir Thomas Overbury, As Affectate Traveller Ovid Nothing is stronger than habit. -- Ovid [Publius Ovidius Naso], Ars Amatoria, II, 345 Your lot is mortal: not mortal is what you desire. -- Ovid [Publius Ovidius Naso], Metamorphoses, II, 56 Note too that a faithful study of the liberal arts humanizes character and permits it not to be cruel. -- Ovid [Publius Ovidius Naso], Ex Ponto, II, ix, 47 Mine is good faith that will yield to none, and says without reproach, and unadorned simplicity, and blushing modesty. -- Ovid [Publius Ovidius Naso], Amores, I, iii, 13 So long as you are secure you will count many friends; if your life becomes clouded you will be alone. -- Ovid [Publius Ovidius Naso], Tristia, I, ix, 5 It is convenient that there be gods, and, as it is convenient, let us believe there are. -- Ovid [Publius Ovidius Naso], Ars Amatoria, I, 637 The gods have their own rules. -- Ovid [Publius Ovidius Naso], Metamorphoses, IX, 500 It is annoying to be honest to no purpose. -- Ovid [Publius Ovidius Naso], Ex Ponto, II, iii, 14 We can learn even from our enemies. -- Ovid [Publius Ovidius Naso], Metamorphoses, IV, 428 Every lover is a warrior, and Cupid has his camps. -- Ovid [Publius Ovidius Naso], Amores, I, ix, 1 Love yields to business. If you seek a way out of love, be bust; you'll be safe then. -- Ovid [Publius Ovidius Naso], Remedia Amoris, 143 Poetry comes fine-spun from a mind at peace. -- Ovid [Publius Ovidius Naso], Tristia, I, i, 39 They come to see; they come that they themselves may be seen. -- Ovid [Publius Ovidius Naso], Ars Amatoria, I, 99 I see and approve better things, but follow worse. -- Ovid [Publius Ovidius Naso], Metamorphoses, VII, 20 Resist beginnings; the prescription comes too late when the disease has gained strength by long delays. -- Ovid [Publius Ovidius Naso], Remedia Amoris, 91 |
