Fortune: 1372 - 1381 of 2182 from Freebsd Fortunes 3

Freebsd Fortunes 3:  1372 of 2182

Every love's the love before
In a duller dress.
                -- Dorothy Parker, "Summary"
 
Freebsd Fortunes 3:  1373 of 2182

Every man is apt to form his notions of things difficult to be apprehended,
or less familiar, from their analogy to things which are more familiar.
Thus, if a man bred to the seafaring life, and accustomed to think and talk
only of matters relating to navigation, enters into discourse upon any other
subject; it is well known, that the language and the notions proper to his
own profession are infused into every subject, and all things are measured
by the rules of navigation: and if he should take it into his head to
philosophize concerning the faculties of the mind, it cannot be doubted,
but he would draw his notions from the fabric of the ship, and would find
in the mind, sails, masts, rudder, and compass.
                -- Thomas Reid, "An Inquiry into the Human Mind", 1764

Every man is as God made him, ay, and often worse.
                -- Miguel de Cervantes
 
Freebsd Fortunes 3:  1375 of 2182

Every man takes the limits of his own field
of vision for the limits of the world.
                -- Schopenhauer
 
Freebsd Fortunes 3:  1376 of 2182

Every man thinks God is on his side.  The rich
and powerful know that he is.
                -- Jean Anouilh, "The Lark"
 
Freebsd Fortunes 3:  1377 of 2182

Every man who has reached even his intellectual teens begins to suspect
that life is no farce; that it is not genteel comedy even; that it flowers
and fructifies on the contrary out of the profoundest tragic depths of the
essential death in which its subject's roots are plunged.  The natural
inheritance of everyone who is capable of spiritual life is an unsubdued
forest where the wolf howls and the obscene bird of night chatters.
                -- Henry James Sr., writing to his sons Henry and William
 
Freebsd Fortunes 3:  1378 of 2182

Every man who is high up likes to think that he has done
it all himself, and the wife smiles and lets it go at that.
                -- Barrie

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.  It knows it must run faster
than the fastest lion or it will be killed.  Every morning a lion wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle: when the sun comes
up, you'd better be running.
 
Freebsd Fortunes 3:  1380 of 2182

Every morning is a Smirnoff morning.
 
Freebsd Fortunes 3:  1381 of 2182

Every night my prayers I say,
        And get my dinner every day;
And every day that I've been good,
        I get an orange after food.
The child that is not clean and neat,
        With lots of toys and things to eat,
He is a naughty child, I'm sure--
        Or else his dear papa is poor.
                -- Robert Louis Stevenson
