In scientific work those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact.

Rarely promise but if lawful constantly perform.

Truth when not sought after rarely comes to light.

Legends die hard. They survive as truth rarely does.

The truth is rarely pure and never simple.

Travelling expands the mind rarely.

Children begin by loving their parents after a time they judge them rarely if ever do they forgive them.

I think I was born strong-willed. That's not the kind of thing you can learn. The advantage is you stick to what you believe in and rarely get pushed out of what you want to do.

Well there's just some universal truths in a way that I've just observed to be true. You read Voltaire. You read modern literature. Anywhere you go there's these observations about romantic love and what it does people and these rotten feelings that rarely are people meaning to do that to each other.

The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.

I've rarely kept my distance from kind of - I don't know if we can call it politics but kind of civic engagement and that kind of thing except I tended to think 'Well do it yourself before you start telling other people what they should be doing.'

In politics as in religion it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution.

One of the reasons people hate politics is that truth is rarely a politician's objective. Election and power are.

I've never read a political poem that's accomplished anything. Poetry makes things happen but rarely what the poet wants.

Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being to which we rarely penetrate for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves.

Peace is rarely denied to the peaceful.

Our observation of nature must be diligent our reflection profound and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined and for this reason creative geniuses are not common.

I've rarely seen video screens used well in a music concert.

I don't like headphones very much and I rarely listen to music on headphones.

I rarely see one of the 'summer blockbuster' movies. I'd like to see a stronger focus on smaller smarter movies.

There is nothing that special to see when looking at me. I'm a painter who paints day in day out from morning till evening - figure pictures and landscapes more rarely portraits.

The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows.

I don't mind traveling that much when I can go somewhere and stay there for a while but touring is different. You rarely see anything. You get there early in the morning and you're resting all day and you go in and do a sound check and you do the show and then bam you're gone.

The civility which money will purchase is rarely extended to those who have none.
