“Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.”
Bible
“It is now possible to abolish work and replace it, insofar as it serves useful purposes, with a multitude of new kinds of free activities. To abolish work requires going at it from two directions, quantitative and qualitative. On the one hand, on the quantitative side, we have to cut down massively on the amount of work being done. At present most work is useless or worse and we should simply get rid of it. On the other hand -- and I think this the crux of the matter and the revolutionary new departure -- we have to take what useful work remains and transform it into a pleasing variety of game-like and craft-like pastimes, indistinguishable from other pleasurable pastimes, except that they happen to yield useful end-products.”
Bob Black
“You can say what you like about long dresses, but they cover a multitude of shins.”
Mae West
“Do I contradict myself? Very well thenI contradict myselfI am large, I contain multitudes.”
Walt Whitman
“Live for today. Multitudes of people have failed to live for today. . . . What they have had within their grasp today they have missed entirely, because only the future has intrigued them.”
William Allen White
“He neither walks with the multitude nor cheers with them. The writer who is a real writer is a rebel who never stops.”
William Saroyan
“The greatest blunders, like the thickest ropes, are often compounded of a multitude of strands. Take the rope apart, separate it into the small threads that compose it, and you can break them one by one. You think, "That is all there was!" But twist”
Victor Hugo
