Affairs Quotes

Even intellectuals should have learned by now that objective rationality is not the default position of the human mind, much less the bedrock of human affairs Picture Quote #1

I give thanks that I am now rich, well and happy and that my financial affairs are in divine order. Every day in every way I am growing richer and richer Picture Quote #1

If your spirit still looks around at the time of prayer, then it does not yet pray as a monk. You are no better than a man of affairs engaged in a kind of landscape gardening Picture Quote #1

When the mathematician says that such and such a proposition is true of one thing, it may be interesting, and it is surely safe. But when he tries to extend his proposition to everything, though it is much more interesting, it is also much more dangerous. In the transition from one to all, from the specific to the general, mathematics has made its greatest progress, and suffered its most serious setbacks, of which the logical paradoxes constitute the most important part. For, if mathematics is to advance securely and confidently, it must first set its affairs in order at home Picture Quote #1

In the long history of human affairs, common sense doesn’t have the greatest track record Picture Quote #1

There are a lot of good books around. People don’t read any more. It’s a sad state of affairs. Reading’s the only thing that allows you to use your imagination. When you watch films it’s someone else’s vision, isn’t it? Picture Quote #1

All of man’s work is a bloody business. That fact, today, is considered foolish, affairs are finished cleverly with words alone, and jobs that require effort are avoided. I would like young men to have some understanding of this Picture Quote #1

The full meaning of life, the collective meaning of all human desires, is fundamentally a mystery beyond our grasp. As a young man, I chafed at this state of affairs. But by now I have made peace with it. I even feel a certain honor to be associated with such a mystery Picture Quote #1

You will never enjoy the sweetness of a quiet prayer unless you shut your mind to all worldly desires and temporal affairs Picture Quote #1

Somehow it must be made plain that the lawyer’s moral judgment is not for hire, that there are occasions when the lawyer... is under a duty to act as a person of independent ethical concern with obligations not only to his client’s interests but also to fairness and justice in the management of affairs Picture Quote #1

The greatness of nations is shown by their strict regard for human rights, rigid enforcement of the law without bias, and just administration of the affairs of life Picture Quote #1

Don’t flirt, have sex, or engage in emotional affairs with your friends’ significant others. This shouldn’t need to be said, but it needs to be said. That significant other is an asshole, and you don’t want to be involved with an asshole who’s used goods. If you want to be with an asshole, get a fresh asshole of your very own. They are abundant Picture Quote #1

We do not say that a man who takes no interest in public affairs is a man who minds his own business. We say he has no business being here at all Picture Quote #1

Kindness is not an illusion and violence is not a rule. The true resting state of human affairs is not represented by a man hacking his neighbor into pieces with a machete. That is a sick aberration. No, the true state of human affairs is life as it ought to be lived Picture Quote #1

It is not love, or morality, or international law that determines the outcome of world affairs, but the changing distribution of organized force Picture Quote #1

Women saw everything, and they thought about everything. The result was wisdom. For men, this was a frightening state of affairs, which is why they insist on holding on to power Picture Quote #1

History should not be written to make the present generation feel good but to remind us that human affairs are complicated Picture Quote #1

The alternative to forgiveness, but by no means its opposite, is punishment, and both have in common that they attempt to put an end to something that without interference could go on endlessly. It is therefore quite significant, a structural element in the realm of human affairs, that men are unable to forgive what they cannot punish and that they are unable to punish what has turned out to be unforgivable Picture Quote #1

It is frequently a misfortune to have very brilliant men in charge of affairs. They expect too much of ordinary men Picture Quote #1

Words and thoughts are a tremendous vibratory force, ever moulding man’s body and affairs Picture Quote #1

People little dream of how their affairs react on the body. There is a mental correspondence for every disease Picture Quote #1

Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass Picture Quote #1

Some of the most intense affairs are between actors and characters. There’s a fire in the human heart and we jump into it with the same obsession as we have with our lovers Picture Quote #1

... the wise providence of God orders our affairs in many different ways and lovingly bestows on each one of us what is appropriate and profitable both for virtuous deeds and the mysteries of faith Picture Quote #1

I’ve never had my heart broken. It’s a very sad state of affairs. I think everybody should have their heart broken. I don’t think it says anything good about me at all Picture Quote #1

The great decisions of government cannot be dictated by the concerns of religious factions... We have succeeded for 205 years in keeping the affairs of state separate from the uncompromising idealism of religious groups and we mustn’t stop now. To retreat from that separation would violate the principles of conservatism and the values upon which the framers built this democratic republic Picture Quote #1

I felt, if I’m going to take on some of the most overdone material, which is men and women and affairs and betrayal of friends, I had better have a new take on it. I think my films come from a desperation not to be boring Picture Quote #1

If people are able to run the affairs of a village well, eventually they’ll be able to run a township, and a county Picture Quote #1
