Hortense Canady famous quotes

Last updated: Sep 5, 2024

  • It is an anomaly that information, the one thing most necessary to our survival as choosers of our own way, should be a commodity subject to the same merchandising rules as chewing gum.

  • Doubt is not below knowledge, but above it.

  • Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself. We continue to shape our personality all our life. To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

  • Information is not knowledge.

  • Television gives us the gift to see ourselves as we'd like to be seen.

  • The chief danger of the Church today is that it is trying to get on the same side as the world, instead of turning the world upside down. Our Master expects us to accomplish results, even if they bring opposition and conflict. Anything is better than compromise, apathy, and paralysis.  God give to us an intense cry for the old-time power of the Gospel and the Holy Ghost!

  • Forget yourself and live for others, for It is more blessed to give than to receive.

  • There is a certain indolence in us, a wish not to be disturbed, which tempts us to think that when things are quiet, all is well. Subconsciously, we tend to give the preference to 'social peace,' though it be only apparent, because our lives and possessions seem then secure. Actually, human beings acquiesce too easily in evil conditions; they rebel far too little and too seldom. There is nothing noble about acquiescence in a cramped life or mere submission to superior force.

  • I don't think I really have a talent for movie acting. I'm not bad at it, but I don't think I really have a talent for it.

  • Whate'er the talents, or howe'er designed, We hang one jingling padlock on the mind.
