Amusement Quotes

Television, radio, and all the sources of amusement and information that surround us in our daily lives are also artificial props. They can give us the impression that our minds are active, because we are required to react to stimuli from the outside. But the power of those external stimuli to keep us going is limited. They are like drugs. We grow used to them, and we continuously need more and more of them. Eventually, they have little or no effect. Then, if we lack resources within ourselves, we cease to grow intellectually, morally, and spiritually. And we we cease to grow, we begin to die Picture Quote #1

My tendency to make up stories and lie compulsively for the sake of my own amusement takes up a good portion of my day and provides me with a peace of mind not easily attainable in this economic climate Picture Quote #1

If we range through the whole territory of nature, and endeavour to extract from each department the rich stores of knowledge and pleasure they respectively contain, we shall not find a more refined or purer source of amusement, or a more interesting and unfailing subject for recreation, than that which the observation and examination of the structure, affinities, and habits of plants and vegetables, afford Picture Quote #1

... learning chiefly in mathematical sciences can so swallow up and fix one’s thought, as to possess it entirely for some time; but when that amusement is over, nature will return, and be where it was, being rather diverted than overcome by such speculations Picture Quote #1

Discipline brings us effort, sacrifice and suffering. Later it brings us something of an inestimable value: something of which those who live only for pleasure, profit or amusement will always be deprived. This peculiar indefinable joy which one must have felt oneself to understand is the sign with which life marks its moment of triumph Picture Quote #1

Dancing is an excellent amusement for young people, especially for those of sedentary occupations. Its excellence consists in exciting a cheerfulness of the mind, highly essential to health; in bracing the muscles of the body, and in producing copious perspiration... The body must perspire, or must be out of order Picture Quote #1

Everyone now agrees that a physics lacking all connection with mathematics... would only be an historical amusement, fitter for entertaining the idle than for occupying the mind of a philosopher Picture Quote #1

Act as if the universe is a prodigious miracle created for your amusement and illumination. Assume that secret helpers are working behind the scenes to assist you in turning into the gorgeous masterpiece you were born to be. Join the conspiracy to shower all of creation with blessings Picture Quote #1

Christian discipleship does not involve the abandonment of any innocent enjoyment. Any diversion or amusement which we can use so as to receive pleasure and enjoyment to ourselves, and do no harm to others, we are perfectly free to use Picture Quote #1

As an occupation in declining years, I declare I think saving is useful, amusing and not unbecoming. It must be a perpetual amusement. It is a game that can be played by day, by night, at home and abroad, and at which you must win in the long run.... What an interest it imparts to life! Picture Quote #1

One may imagine that a man who blew the trumpet for his living would be glad to play the violin for his amusement Picture Quote #1

What you think is an illusion created by your glands, your emotions and, in the last analysis, by the content of your stomach. That gray matter you’re so proud of is like a mirror in an amusement park which transmits to you nothing but distorted signals from reality forever beyond your grasp Picture Quote #1

I take the most wrenchingly painful moments of my life, brush them off and present them for the amusement of others. Luckily for me, my childhood was torture Picture Quote #1

Art is not an amusement, nor a distraction, nor is it, as many men maintain, an escape from life. On the contrary, it is a high training of the soul, essential to the soul’s growth, to its unfoldment Picture Quote #1

Life itself is selfless giving. We’re not given this life just for own amusement and pleasures Picture Quote #1

Poetry has been to me something more than amusement, it has been a cheering companion when I had no other to fly to, a delightful solace Picture Quote #1

It must be observed that fishing with any living bait is to be condemned for the same reason as fishing with a worm: in all such instances we torture two animals at once for our amusement Picture Quote #1

I believe reality is a marvelous joke staged for my edification and amusement and everybody is working very hard to make me happy Picture Quote #1

Literary commercialism is lowering the intellectual standard to accommodate the purse and to meet a frivolous demand for amusement instead of for improvement Picture Quote #1

I once read that the only way to enjoy life is to observe everything with a sense of detached amusement. I don’t always do that, but it serves you well to keep it in mind Picture Quote #1

What doubts, what hypotheses, what labyrinths of amusement, what fields of disputation, what an ocean of false learning, may be avoided by that single notion of immaterialism! Picture Quote #1
