Text Quotes
The ordinary man is involved in action, the hero acts. An immense difference  (Ordinary Man Quotes) The scientific nature of the ordinary man is to go out and do the best you can  (Ordinary Man Quotes) War, the ordinary man’s most convenient means of escaping from the ordinary  (Ordinary Man Quotes) The ordinary man casts a shadow in a way we do not quite understand. The man of genius casts light  (Ordinary Man Quotes) As time passed and he grew to know people better, he began to think of himself as an extraordinary man, one set apart from his fellows. He wanted terribly to make his life a thing of great importance, and as he looked about at his fellow men and saw how like clods they lived it seemed to him that he could not bear to become also such a clod  (Ordinary Man Quotes) The most extraordinary thing in the world is an ordinary man and an ordinary woman and their ordinary children  (Ordinary Man Quotes) The major work of the world is not done by geniuses. It is done by ordinary people, with balance in their lives, who have learned to work in an extraordinary manner  (Ordinary Man Quotes) The greatest political storm flutters only a fringe of humanity. But an ordinary man and an ordinary woman and their ordinary children literally alter the destiny of nations  (Ordinary Man Quotes) The passing of an ordinary man is sad. The passing of a great man is tragic, and doubly tragic when the greatness passes before the man does  (Ordinary Man Quotes) Work for God, love God alone, and be wise with God. When an ordinary man puts the necessary rime and enthusiasm into meditation and prayer, he becomes a divine man  (Ordinary Man Quotes) We walk, and our religion is shown even to the dullest and most insensitive person in how we walk. Or to put it more accurately, living in this world means choosing, choosing to walk, and the way we choose to walk is infallibly and perfectly expressed in the walk itself. Nothing can disguise it. The walk of an ordinary man and of an enlightened man are as different as that of a snake and a giraffe  (Ordinary Man Quotes) We tried to present the ordinary in an extraordinary manner. But that’s the paradox because the only thing extraordinary about it was that it was so ordinary. Nobody had ever done it before, deliberately. Now it’s called documentary, which I suppose is all right... We just took pictures that cried out to be taken  (Ordinary Man Quotes) Any ordinary man can... surround himself with two thousand books... and thenceforward have at least one place in the world in which it is possible to be happy  (Ordinary Man Quotes) While few judges or prosecutors would be afraid to exercise their perfectly legitimate discretion in favour of an ordinary man, not to mention a minority group member, most would be terrified to exercise the same discretion for someone politically, financially or socially powerful  (Ordinary Man Quotes) One function of the librarian, as he saw it, was to blunt the edge of these differences and to provide a means whereby the rich and poor could live happily side by side. The public library was a great leveler, supplying a literature by which the ordinary man could experience some of the pleasures of the rich, and providing a common ground where employer and employee could meet on equal terms  (Ordinary Man Quotes) Computing machines perhaps can do the work of a dozen ordinary men, but there is no machine that can do the work of one extraordinary man  (Ordinary Man Quotes) Unable to create a meaningful life for itself, the personality takes its own revenge: from the lower depths comes a regressive form of spontaneity: raw animality forms a counterpoise to the meaningless stimuli and the vicarious life to which the ordinary man is conditioned. Getting spiritual nourishment from this chaos of events, sensations, and devious interpretations is the equivalent of trying to pick through a garbage pile for food  (Ordinary Man Quotes) The difference between a great soul and an ordinary man is this: the latter weeps while leaving this body, whereas the former laughs. Death seems to him a mere play  (Ordinary Man Quotes) As a philosopher, if I were speaking to a purely philosophic audience I should say that I ought to describe myself as an Agnostic, because I do not think that there is a conclusive argument by which one can prove that there is not a God. On the other hand, if I am to convey the right impression to the ordinary man in the street I think that I ought to say that I am an Atheist, because, when I say that I cannot prove that there is not a God, I ought to add equally that I cannot prove that there are not the Homeric gods  (Ordinary Man Quotes) The ordinary man with extraordinary power is the chief danger for mankind - not the fiend or the sadist  (Ordinary Man Quotes) One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man  (Ordinary Man Quotes) He allowed the world to wind him in the final set of chains, and climbed, once and for all, into the cabinet of mysteries that was the life of an ordinary man  (Ordinary Man Quotes) Like every good man, I strive for perfection, and, like every ordinary man, I have found that perfection is out of reach - but not the perfect suit  (Ordinary Man Quotes) It is frequently the tragedy of the great artist, as it is of the great scientist, that he frightens the ordinary man  (Ordinary Man Quotes) The ordinary man looking at a mountain is like an illiterate person confronted with a Greek manuscript  (Ordinary Man Quotes) No girl who is going to marry need bother to win a college degree; she just naturally becomes a master of arts and a doctor of philosophy after catering to an ordinary man for a few years  (Ordinary Man Quotes) A democracy without faith is just a machine without power. Nothing can make it function except faith in itself, in the ordinary man and woman  (Ordinary Man Quotes) The intellectual is different from the ordinary man, but only in certain sections of his personality, and even then not all the time  (Ordinary Man Quotes) One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool  (Ordinary Man Quotes) The ordinary man is an anarchist. He wants to do as he likes. He may want his neighbour to be governed, but he himself doesn’t want to be governed. He is mortally afraid of government officials and policemen  (Ordinary Man Quotes)
