Sooner Quotes

Men sooner forget the death of their father than the loss of their patrimony. (Niccolò Machiavelli)

It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.

Pythagoras

Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.

Marcus Aurelius

He who talks more is sooner exhausted.

Laozi

If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.

Margaret Mead

Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual. The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats. Not all things are black nor all things white. It is a fundamental of taxonomy that nature rarely deals with discrete categories. Only the human mind invents categories and tries to force facts into separated pigeon-holes. The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects. The sooner we learn this concerning human sexual behavior, the sooner we shall reach a sound understanding of the realities of sex.

Alfred Kinsey

War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it; the crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.

William Tecumseh Sherman
