Text Quotes
On the whole, the world was friendly. It chiefly depended on whether one were good or not  (Chiefly Quotes) You know that I write slowly. This is chiefly because I am never satisfied until I have said as much as possible in a few words, and writing briefly takes far more time than writing at length  (Chiefly Quotes) One of the reasons, surely, why women have been credited with less perfect veracity than men is that the burden of conventional falsehood falls chiefly on them  (Chiefly Quotes) Japanese affection is not uttered in words; it scarcely appears even in the tone of voice; it is chiefly shown in acts of exquisite courtesy and kindness  (Chiefly Quotes) Women who write with an overriding consciousness that they write as women are engaged not in aspiration toward writing, but chiefly in a politics of sex  (Chiefly Quotes) Politics is chiefly a function of culture, at the heart of culture is morality, and at the heart of morality is religion  (Chiefly Quotes) Seek not to grow in knowledge chiefly for the sake of applause, and to enable you to dispute with others; but seek it for the benefit of your souls  (Chiefly Quotes) The progression of physical science is much more connected with your prosperity than is usually imagined. You owe to experimental philosophy some of the most important and peculiar of your advantages. It is not by foreign conquests chiefly that you are become great, but by a conquest of nature in your own country  (Chiefly Quotes) ... 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  (Chiefly Quotes) The world we live in is a world of mingled good and evil. Whether it is chiefly good or chiefly bad depends on how we take it. To look at the world in such a way as to emphasize the evil is the art of pessimism. To look at it in such a way as to bring out the good, and throw the evil into the background, is the art of optimism. The facts are the same in either case. It is simply a question of perspective and emphasis  (Chiefly Quotes) Man is a thinking animal, a talking animal, a toolmaking animal, a building animal, a political animal, a fantasizing animal. But, in the twilight of a civilization he is chiefly a taxpaying animal  (Chiefly Quotes) We must ask why apparently general musical abilities should be restricted to a chosen few in societies supposed to be culturally more advanced. Does cultural development represent a real advance in human sensitivity, or is it chiefly a diversion for elites and a weapon of class exploitation?  (Chiefly Quotes) A mobile is an abstract sculpture made chiefly out of sheet metal, steel rods, wire and wood. Some or all of these elements move, propelled by electric motors, wind, water or by hand  (Chiefly Quotes) Beauty addresses itself chiefly to sight, but there is a beauty for the hearing too, as in certain combinations so words and in all kinds of music; for melodies and cadences are beautiful; and minds that lift themselves above the realm of sense to a higher order are aware of beauty in the conduct of life, in actions, in character, in the pursuits of the intellect; and there is the beauty of the virtues  (Chiefly Quotes) Education is a life; that life is sustained on ideas; ideas are of spiritual origin, and that we get them chiefly as we convey them to one another. The duty of parents is to sustain a child’s inner life with ideas as they sustain his body with food  (Chiefly Quotes) We must win the common people in every corner. This will be obtained chiefly by means of the schools, and by open, hearty behavior, show, condescension, popularity, and toleration of their prejudices, which we shall at leisure root out and dispel  (Chiefly Quotes) It is chiefly upon the lay citizen, informed about science but not its practitioner, that the country must depend in determining the use to which science is put, in resolving the many public policy questions that scientific discoveries constantly force upon us  (Chiefly Quotes) The mathematical difficulties of the theory of rotation arise chiefly from the want of geometrical illustrations and sensible images, by which we might fix the results of analysis in our minds  (Chiefly Quotes) Strange that mankind should ever have used the mushroom. All the various species of this substance are of a leathery consistence, and contain but little nutriment. The condiments or seasonings which are added are what are chiefly prized. Without these, we should almost as soon eat saw dust as mushrooms  (Chiefly Quotes) As the faculty of writing has chiefly been a masculine endowment, the reproach of making the world miserable has always been thrown upon the women  (Chiefly Quotes) All classes of society are trade unionists at heart, and differ chiefly in the boldness, ability, and secrecy with which they pursue their respective interests  (Chiefly Quotes) The object of government is the welfare of the people. The material progress and prosperity of a nation are desirable chiefly so far as they lead to the moral and material welfare of all good citizens  (Chiefly Quotes) Physical changes take place continuously, while chemical changes take place discontinuously. Physics deals chiefly with continuous varying quantities, while chemistry deals chiefly with whole numbers  (Chiefly Quotes) What chiefly diverts the men of democracies from lofty ambition is not the scantiness of their fortunes, but the vehemence of the exertions they daily make to improve them  (Chiefly Quotes) We have lost confidence in reason because we have learned that man is chiefly a creature of habit and emotion  (Chiefly Quotes) Selfishness of the stable or rigid sort is as a rule more bitterly resented than the more fickle variety, chiefly, no doubt, because, having more continuity and purpose, it is more formidable  (Chiefly Quotes) The difference between the child and the man lies chiefly in the unlimited confidence and buoyancy of youth  (Chiefly Quotes) Republicans seems to me to be chiefly concerned with holding on to what they have: in society, it’s position, or respectability, or what you will; in business, of course, it’s profit  (Chiefly Quotes) I have written chiefly because, though I have often dreaded the necessity, I have found it more painful, in the end, not to write  (Chiefly Quotes) On earth the living have much to bear; the difference is chiefly in the manner of bearing, and my manner of bearing is far from being the best  (Chiefly Quotes)
