| | Joseph Addison |  | True happiness arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self, and in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions. |
| | Theodor Adorno | | The ideology of cultural conservatism which sees enlightenment and art as simple antitheses is false, among other reasons, in overlooking the moment of enlightenment in the genesis of beauty. Enlightenment does not merely dissolve all the qualities that beauty adheres to, but posits the quality of beauty in the first place. |
| | Saint Thomas Aquinas | | Now among all passions inflicted from without, death holds the first place, just as sexual concupiscences are chief among internal passions. Consequently, when a man conquers death and things directed to death, his is a most perfect victory. |

| | Edward de Bono | | It is well known that "problem avoidance" is an important part of problem solving. Instead of solving the problem you go upstream and alter the system so that the problem does not occur in the first place. |
| | Jimmy Breslin | | When you stop drinking, you have to deal with this marvelous personality that started you drinking in the first place. |

It is quite as irrelevant to treatment as it would be to ask a malarial patient why he went to a malarial area. |
| | Amitabh Bachchan | | You want to talk about the fading of an icon? You never said I was an icon in the first place. But you want to talk about it in a derogatory fashion. You say the superstar has fallen. But you've never called me a superstar ever. It's only that you use these words when you want to say something derogatory. |
