He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice.
Albert Einstein
A tomb now suffices him for whom the whole world was not sufficient.
Alexander the Great
Speak out in acts; the time for words has passed, and only deeds will suffice.
Alfred North Whitehead
It took them only an instant to cut of that head, but it is unlikely that a hundred years will suffice to reproduce a singular one.
Antoine Lavoisier
Suffice it to say, I'm not poor.
August Wilson
Everything is so unstable in these times of progress at any cost, and social customs and methods of life alter so rapidly, that a few years now suffice to change completely the face of usages which, at their inception, bade fair to outlive the age - so enthusiastically were they welcomed by the public.
Auguste Escoffier
No nation can answer for the equity of proceedings in all its inferior courts. It suffices to provide a supreme judicature by which error and partiality may be corrected.
Benjamin Robbins Curtis
Italy, and the spring and first love all together should suffice to make the gloomiest person happy.
Bertrand Russell
I am now a turtle. Virtually everything I own is on my back and suffice it to say I am one ton lighter and therefore 2,000 pounds happier. All houses are gone.
Bobby Darin
When it comes to underwear, there's nothing worse than a visible panty line. Sometimes it seems like nobody knows that seamless underwear exists. But Calvin Klein makes them. Commando makes them. Hanky Panky makes them. You don't need a drawer full; a few pairs will suffice.
Brad Goreski
Odd, the years it took to learn one simple fact: that the prize just ahead, the next job, publication, love affair, marriage always seemed to hold the key to satisfaction but never, in the longer run, sufficed.
Carolyn Gold Heilbrun
The things that motivated me at 21 don't suffice. Which is scary but really liberating in a way. It's taken me a long time to feel like, instead of being invited to the party with a bunch of people I don't know, that I actually deserve to be here.
Chris Pine
Suppose you like someone very much. Then, by a familiar halo effect, you will also be prone to believe many good things about that person - you will be biased in their favor. Most of us like ourselves very much, and that suffices to explain self-assessments that are biased in a particular direction.
Daniel Kahneman
I was 25 when my first husband walked out of the house and left me with a 10-month-old. And a house payment and a car payment. But suffice it to say I have a lot of love in my life.
Delilah
Blind faith, no matter how passionately expressed, will not suffice. Science for its part will test relentlessly every assumption about the human condition.
E. O. Wilson
Let no one trust so entirely to natural prudence as to persuade himself that it will suffice to guide him without help from experience.
Francesco Guicciardini
A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Astronautics, strictly speaking, will be concerned with voyages to other stars. Remarkably enough, to achieve such feats, we might not even have to leave the earth. It would suffice to accelerate the sun itself to a very high speed and let it drag all its planets with it.
Fritz Zwicky
A few dozen changes to the genome of a modern elephant - to give it subcutaneous fat, woolly hair and sebaceous glands - might suffice to create a variation that is functionally similar to the mammoth. Returning this keystone species to the tundras could stave off some effects of warming.
George M. Church
It causes me great pain to sue the company I work for. Nevertheless, I had to do it. Suffice it to say, there's a dispute and I believe I haven't been given what is mine.
Howard Stern
Suffice to say, many women find their first appearance on a comedy panel show to be their last. Second chances seem to be given less often to the female of the species.
Nobody understood better than Mr. Lincoln the obvious truth that in politics it does not suffice merely to nominate candidates. Something must also be done to elect them.
Great men show politeness in a particular way; a smile suffices to assure you that you are welcome, and keep about their avocations as if you were a member of the family.
I grew up in Washington, D.C. Suffice to say, it was not a garden spot.
A grain of poetry suffices to season a century.
If written directions alone would suffice, libraries wouldn't need to have the rest of the universities attached.
I care not to debate which came first, Islamism or anti-Muslim bigotry; suffice to say that both feed into each other symbiotically.
The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems.
A woman one loves rarely suffices for all our needs, so we deceive her with another whom we do not love.
There is no God, Nature sufficeth unto herself; in no wise hath she need of an author.
Why do people so love to wander? I think the civilized parts of the World will suffice for me in the future.
Suffice it to say, every actor works differently. Laurence Olivier would put on his costume and when the wardrobe was right, he was in character. That sounds superficial, but it's true, and look at the results.
I think it suffices to say that Israel has the right to defend itself.
It doesn't suffice to knock the state, to destroy the ideals. Something has to replace those ideals if they're taken away.
On the basis of Lorentz's theory, if we limit ourselves to a single spectral line, it suffices to assume that each atom (or molecule) contains a single moving electron.
You must strive to multiply bread so that it suffices for the tables of mankind, and not rather favor an artificial control of birth, which would be irrational, in order to diminish the number of guests at the banquet of life.
Why need I volumes, if one word suffice?
Acting doesn't suffice.
Suffice it to say that our over-reliance on testing is based largely on habit, wishful thinking, and leaps of faith.
The English Bible - a book which, if everything else in our language should perish, would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power.
To be perfectly happy it does not suffice to possess happiness, it is necessary to have deserved it.
