Hoffer

Famous quotes containing the word hoffer:

    We never say so much as when we do not quite know what we want to say. We need few words when we have something to say, but all the words in all the dictionaries will not suffice when we have nothing to say and want desperately to say it.
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    Man staggers through life yapped at by his reason, pulled and shoved by his appetites, whispered to by fears, beckoned by hopes. Small wonder that what he craves most is self-forgetting.
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    It is futile to judge a kind deed by its motives. Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind.
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
