They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price. (Kahlil Gibran)
Whatever we are directed to pray for, we are also exhorted to work for; we are not permitted to mock Jehovah, asking that of Him which we deem not worth our pains to acquire. View quote
Elias Lyman Magoon
There is no crime of which I do not deem myself capable. View quote
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Ah, Dinamene, Thou hast forsaken him Whose love for thee has never ceased, And no more will he behold thee on this earth! How early didst thou deem life of little worth! I found thee - Alas, to lose thee all too soon! How strong, how cruel the waves! Thou canst not ever know My longing and my grief! Did cold death still thy voice Or didst thou of thyself Draw the sable veil before thy lovely face? O sea, O sky, O fate obscure! To live without thee, Dinamene, avails me not. View quote
Luís de Camões

Jean Racine

Benjamin Disraeli
In real life, however, you don't react to what someone did; you react only to what you think she did, and the gap between action and perception is bridged by the art of impression management. If life itself is but what you deem it, then why not focus your efforts on persuading others to believe that you are a virtuous and trustworthy cooperator? (Jonathan Haidt)
They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. View quote
Plato
Of all evil I deem you capable: Therefore I want good from you. Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws. View quote
Friedrich Nietzsche
What right does Congress have to go around making laws just because they deem it necessary? View quote
Marion Barry
What it is, only God knows. In terms of matter I suppose the thing Ammi described would be called a gas, but this gas obeyed the laws that are not of our cosmos. This was no fruit of such worlds and suns as shine on the telescopes and photographic plates of our observatories. This was no breath from the skies whose motions and dimensions our astronomers measure or deem too vast to measure. It was just a colour out of space - a frightful messenger from unformed realms of infinity beyond all Nature as we know it; from realms whose mere existence stuns the brain and numbs us with the black extra-cosmic gulfs it throws open before our frenzied eyes.

H. P. Lovecraft

T. E. Lawrence
We deem it a settled point that the destiny of the colored man is bound up with that of the white people of this country. ... We are here, and here we are likely to be. To imagine that we shall ever be eradicated is absurd and ridiculous. We can be remodified, changed, assimilated, but never extinguished. We repeat, therefore, that we are here; and that this is our country; and the question for the philosophers and statesmen of the land ought to be, What principles should dictate the policy of the action toward us? We shall neither die out, nor be driven out; but shall go with this people, either as a testimony against them, or as an evidence in their favor throughout their generations. View quote
Frederick Douglass
But now at thirty years my hair is gray–– (I wonder what it will be like at forty? I thought of a peruke the other day) My heart is not much greener; and, in short, I Have squander'd my whole summer while 'twas May, And feel no more the spirit to retort; I Have spent my life, both interest and principal, And deem not, what I deem'd my soul invincible.

Lord Byron
