“It is highly significant, and indeed almost a rule, that moral courage has its source in identification through one's own sensitivity with the suffering of one's fellow human beings.”
Rollo May Quotes |
|
“Innovators and creators are persons who can to a higher degree than average accept the condition of aloneness. They are more willing to follow their own vision, even when it takes them far from the mainland of the human community. Unexplored places do not frighten them- or not, at any rate, as much as they frighten those around them. This is one of the secrets of their power. That which we call "genius" has a great deal to do with courage and daring, a great deal to do with nerve.”
Nathaniel Branden Quotes |
|
“It is generally recognized that creativity requires leisure, an absence of rush, time for the mind and imagination to float and wander and roam, time for the individual to descend into the depths of his or her psyche, to be available to barely audible signals rustling for attention. Long periods of time may pass in which nothing seems to be happening. But we know that kind of space must be created if the mind is to leap out of its accustomed ruts, to part from the mechanical, the known, the familiar, the standard, and generate a leap into the new.”
Nathaniel Branden Quotes |
|
“It should be noted that the seeds of wisdom that are to bear fruit in the intellect are sown less by critical studies and learned monographs than by insights, broad impressions, and flashes of intuition.”
Carl Von Clausewitz Quotes |
|
“All cruelty springs from weakness.”
Seneca Quotes |
|
“Dogma does not mean the absence of thought, but the end of thought.”
Gilbert Keith Chesterton Quotes |
|
“In a free country it is the duty of writers to pay no attention to duty.”
E.b. White Quotes |
|
“We envy those whose possessions or achievements are a reflection on our own. They are our neighbors and equals. It is they, above all who make plain the nature of our failure.”
Helmut Schoeck Quotes |
|
“Just as some plants bear fruit only if they don't shoot up too high, so in practical arts the leaves and flowers of theory must be pruned and the plant kept close to its proper soil- experience.”
Carl Von Clausewitz Quotes |
|
“Savage peoples are ruled by passion, civilized peoples by the mind. The difference lies not in the respective natures of savagery and civilization, but in their attendant circumstances, institutions, and so forth. The difference, therefore, does not operate in every sense, but it does in most of them. Even the most civilized peoples, in short, can be fired with passionate hatred for each other.”
Carl Von Clausewitz Quotes |
|
“We cannot but be astonished at the ease with which men resign themselves to ignorance about what is most important for them to know; and we may be certain that they are determined to remain invincibly ignorant if they once come to consider it as axiomatic that there are no absolute principles.”
Frederic Bastiat Quotes |
|
“All weakness tends to corrupt, and impotence corrupts absolutely.”
Edgar Z. Freidenberg Quotes |
|
“Persons of high self-esteem are not driven to make themselves superior to others; they do not seek to prove their value by measuring themselves against a comparative standard. Their joy is being who they are, not in being better than someone else.”
Nathaniel Branden Quotes |
|
“If we do not believe in ourselves- neither in our efficacy nor in our goodness- the universe is a frightening place.”
Nathaniel Branden Quotes |
|
“Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important than the judgment we pass on ourselves.”
Nathaniel Branden Quotes |
|
“The natural inclination of a child is to take pleasure in the use of the mind no less than of the body. The child's primary business is learning. It is also the primary entertainment. To retain that orientation into adulthood, so that consciousness is not a burden but a joy, is the mark of the successfully developed human being.”
Nathaniel Branden Quotes |
|
“Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abyss nature leads, or you shall learn nothing.”
Thomas Henry Huxley Quotes |
|
“In matters of intellect, follow your reason as far as it will take you, without regard for any other consideration.”
Thomas Henry Huxley Quotes |
|
“The sexual regions constitute a particularly vulnerable spot, and remain so even in man, and the need for their protection which thus exists conflicts with the prominent display required for sexual allurement. This end is far more effectively attained, with greater advantage and less disadvantage, by concentrating the chief ensigns of sexual attractiveness on the upper and more conspicuous parts of the body. This method is well-nigh universal among animals as well as in man.”
Havelock Ellis Quotes |
|
“When you learn not to want things so badly, life comes to you.”
Jessica Lange Quotes |
|
“If your dream is a big dream, and if you want your life to work on the high level that you say you do, there's no way around doing the work it takes to get you there.”
Joyce Chapman Quotes |
|
“Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you, but your dream will not. Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it. Because the dream is within you, no one can take it away.”
Tom Clancy Quotes |
|
“Don't be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality. If you can dream it, you can make it so.”
Belva Davis Quotes |
|
“I don't use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough.”
Marie E. Eschenbach Quotes |
|
“The power of habit and the charm of novelty are the two adverse forces which explain the follies of mankind.”
