Text Quotes
The basis on which good repute in any highly organized industrial community ultimately rests is pecuniary strength; and the means of showing pecuniary strength, and so of gaining or retaining a good name, are leisure and a conspicuous consumption of goods  (Gaining Quotes) Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible. He is a kind of confidence man, preying on people’s vanity, ignorance or loneliness, gaining their trust and betraying them without remorse  (Gaining Quotes) Creating my own world in a comic or selling my first penny newspaper aged nine was a way of gaining recognition and acceptance by my peers  (Gaining Quotes) It’s ok to care about what other people think, but you should give a little more weight to what you, yourself, think... The habit of thinking is the habit of gaining strength. You’re stronger than you believe  (Gaining Quotes) Getting a woman’s body and getting her heart are two different things. And gaining her trust is another problem entirely  (Gaining Quotes) It seems to me that the moralist is the most useless and contemptible of creatures. He is useless in that he would expend his energies upon making judgments rather than upon gaining knowledge, for the reason that judgment is easy and knowledge is difficult. He is contemptible in that his judgments reflect a vision of himself which in his ignorance and pride he would impose upon the world. I implore you, do not become a moralist; you will destroy your art and your mind  (Gaining Quotes) Man has risen, not fallen. He can choose to develop his capacities as the highest animal and to try to rise still farther, or he can choose otherwise. The choice is his responsibility, and his alone. There is no automatism that will carry him upward without choice or effort and there is no trend solely in the right direction. Evolution has no purpose; man must supply this for himself. The means to gaining right ends involve both organic evolution and human evolution, but human choice as to what are the right ends must be based on human evolution  (Gaining Quotes) Look at the earth crowded with growth, new and old bursting from their strong roots hidden in the silent, live ground, each seed according to its own kind... each one knowing what to do, each one demanding its own rights on the earth. So artist, you too from the depths of your soul... let your roots creep forth, gaining strength  (Gaining Quotes) Gaining people’s trust might be harder than gaining all creation. But, what is harder than gaining people’s trust is having to abandon them  (Gaining Quotes) The more I consider the condition of the white men, the more fixed becomes my opinion that, instead of gaining, they have lost much by subjecting themselves to what they call the laws and regulations of civilized socieities  (Gaining Quotes) Creativity is one of the last remaining legal ways of gaining an unfair advantage over the competition  (Gaining Quotes) In taking stock of a politician, the first question is not whether he was a good man who used righteous means, but whether he was successful in gaining power, in keeping it, and in governing; whether, in short, he was skilful at his particular craft or a bungler  (Gaining Quotes) I am alarmed at the subtle invasion of professional football, which is gaining preeminence over baseball. It’s unthinkable  (Gaining Quotes) It meant something to me – the idea of a coat guarding and hiding a woman’s body. For me, a woman who is absorbed in her work, who does not care about gaining one’s favor, strong yet subtle at the same time, is essentially more seductive. The more she hides and abandons her femininity, the more it emerges from the very heart of her existence  (Gaining Quotes) The most difficult task for anyone wandering through a foreign land with the hope of gaining some insight into it is the profound need to come to terms with the lives and thoughts of strangers  (Gaining Quotes) When you fall, never get up without gaining anything. Always find something on the way up. If there are only rocks, grasp one to throw in order to defend yourself  (Gaining Quotes) Avoid fried meats which angry up the blood. If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts. Keep the juices flowing by jangling around gently as you move. Go very light on the vices, such as carrying on in society. The social ramble ain’t restful. Avoid running at all times. Don’t look back. Something might be gaining on you  (Gaining Quotes) The important point is to be on the spot at the moment most favorable for gaining the desired advantage; and it will be found that of men who get what they want in this world, both those who seem to hasten and those who seem to lounge are always at the right place at the right time  (Gaining Quotes) As your training progresses, always remember that the key to gaining the ability for spontaneous and creative technique lies in good ukemi;  (Gaining Quotes) Not only did I win the fight, but I won something that’s more than a fight could ever give me and that is gaining back a family  (Gaining Quotes) I like how wine continues to evolve, like if I opened a bottle of wine today it would taste different than if I’d opened it on any other day, because a bottle of wine is actually alive. And it’s constantly evolving and gaining complexity  (Gaining Quotes) Text messaging is just the most recent focus of people’s anxiety; what people are really worried about is a new generation gaining control of what they see as their language  (Gaining Quotes) Most people think happiness is about gaining something, but it’s not. It’s all about getting rid of the darkness you accumulate  (Gaining Quotes) I am absolutely convinced that there are weapons... I saw evidence back in 1998 when we would see the inspectors being barred from gaining entry into a warehouse for three hours with trucks rolling up and then moving those trucks out  (Gaining Quotes) If you eliminate the junk food, you don’t really run the risk of gaining weight if you’ve got a good workout routine  (Gaining Quotes) Gaining maturity in yoga practice involves learning to respect the paths that other people are on and acknowledging their merits, maybe even acknowledging that your own path is lacking in some area where another one excels  (Gaining Quotes) I think human society for tens of thousands of years has sent young men out in small groups to do things that are necessary but very dangerous. And they’ve always gotten killed doing it. And they’ve always turned it into a matter of honor and a way of gaining acceptance back into society if they survived  (Gaining Quotes) A democracy is a state in which the poor, gaining the upper hand, kill some and banish others, and then divide the offices among the remaining citizens equally, usually by lot  (Gaining Quotes) I don’t worry about gaining weight. I’m fortunate in that I’ve never had to worry about that. Some people eat when they are stressed. I don’t eat enough  (Gaining Quotes) On the television planet, where men make up the tribe, the law of the caveman rules. So, for a woman coming from another world, without experience or cunning, to succeed gradually in gaining control over what is to be taped, what goes out over the air, what is said without censorship, is an epic feat  (Gaining Quotes)
