How cheap that character is acquired! Pay your debts, don’t borrow money, nor twist your kitten’s neck off, nor disturb a congregation, etc., your business is done. I know things of myself, which would make every friend I have fly me as a plague patient  (Acquired Quotes) Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness. The things that are essential are acquired with little bother; it is the luxuries that call for toil and effort. To want simply what is enough nowadays suggests to people primitiveness and squalor  (Acquired Quotes) Freedom is acquired by conquest, not by gift. It must be pursued constantly and responsibly. Freedom is not an ideal located outside of man; nor is it an idea which becomes myth. It is rather the indispensable condition for the quest for human completion  (Acquired Quotes) I believe the powers of observation in numbers of very young children to be quite wonderful for its closeness and accuracy. Indeed, I think that most grown people who are remarkable in this respect, may with greater propriety be said not to have lost the faculty, than to have acquired it; the rather, as I generally observe such people to retain a certain freshness, and gentleness, and capacity of being pleased, which are also an inheritance they have preserved from their childhood  (Acquired Quotes) Now it is established in the sciences that no knowledge is acquired save through the study of its causes and beginnings, if it has had causes and beginnings; nor completed except by knowledge of its accidents and accompanying essentials  (Acquired Quotes) The knowledge of anything, since all things have causes, is not acquired or complete unless it is known by its causes  (Acquired Quotes) At this period the enthusiasm of the amateur was fast giving way to a more steady commercial instinct, and I let no opportunity slip of improving my position, but I felt that I was still labouring under the disadvantage of not having acquired some technical profession  (Acquired Quotes) If in the last few years you haven’t discarded a major opinion or acquired a new one, check your pulse. You may be dead  (Acquired Quotes) In simple terms, we are aligning our business today with the way we believe future systems are going to be designed, acquired and maintained  (Acquired Quotes) I enjoyed making this album a lot because of the knowledge we acquired over the last 3 years  (Acquired Quotes) Britain will be honoured by historians more for the way she disposed of an empire than for the way in which she acquired it  (Acquired Quotes) Only with the honour thus acquired can we earn the respect of our other compatriots as well  (Acquired Quotes) Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body; but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind  (Acquired Quotes) Only the truth which was acquired by your own thinking, through the efforts of your intellect, becomes a member of your own body, and only this truth really belongs to us  (Acquired Quotes) That man is of supreme folly who always wants for fear of wanting; and his life flies away while he is still hoping to enjoy the good things which he has with extreme labour acquired  (Acquired Quotes) Socrates affirmed that only that which the reader already knows can be sparked by a reading, and that the knowledge cannot be acquired through dead letters  (Acquired Quotes) Epitaph, n.
