Affairs Quotes

If we insist that public life be reserved for those whose personal history is pristine, we are not going to get paragons of virtue running our affairs. We will get the very rich, who contract out the messy things in life the very dull, who have nothing to hide and nothing to show and the very devious, expert at covering their tracks and ambitious enough to risk their discovery Picture Quote #1

Providence conceals itself in the details of human affairs, but becomes unveiled in the generalities of history Picture Quote #1

You never find friends them following your advice upon their own affairs; nor allowing you to manage your own Picture Quote #1

Blunders are an inescapable feature of war, because choice in military affairs lies generally between the bad and the worse Picture Quote #1

As a nation we have the right to decide our own affairs, to mould our own future. This does not pose any danger to anybody. Our nation is fully aware of the responsibility for its own fate in the complicated situation of the contemporary world Picture Quote #1

As free citizens in a political democracy, we have a responsibility to be interested and involved in the affairs of the human community, be it at the local or the global level Picture Quote #1

The plague of mankind is the fear and rejection of diversity: monotheism, monarchy, monogamy and, in our age, monomedicine. The belief that there is only one right way to live, only one right way to regulate religious, political, sexual, medical affairs is the root cause of the greatest threat to man: members of his own species, bent on ensuring his salvation, security, and sanity Picture Quote #1

In such a condition of affairs, the practical difference between the abolitionist and the sympathizer, to the man who lost his slave and could not recover it, was very nebulous Picture Quote #1

Yes, friends, governments in capitalist society are but committees of the rich to manage the affairs of the capitalist class Picture Quote #1

All love affairs are tragedies in the end unless the lovers die at the same moment Picture Quote #1

Wisdom is an affair of values, and of value judgments. It is intelligent conduct of human affairs Picture Quote #1

Oh blessed a thousand times the peasant who is born, eats and dies without anybody bothering about his affairs Picture Quote #1

Sooner or later comes a crisis in our affairs, and how we meet it determines our future happiness and success. Since the beginning of time, every form of life has been called upon to meet such crisis Picture Quote #1

There is a wheel on the affairs of men revolve and its mechanism is such that it prevents any man from being always fortunate Picture Quote #1

Coitus can scarcely be said to take place in a vacuum; although of itself it appears a biological and physical activity, it is set so deeply within the larger context of human affairs that it serves as a charged microcosm of the variety of attitudes and values to which culture subscribes. Among other things, it may serve as a model of sexual politics on an individual or personal plane Picture Quote #1

That man is but of the lower part of the world that is not brought up to business and affairs Picture Quote #1

Since 9/11, there has been a huge leap in people wanting to get personally involved in public service and international affairs Picture Quote #1

I love travelling and going on wildlife safaris. I have an interest in astronomy. I like reading on current affairs, business and science. I love doing nothing if I can help it Picture Quote #1

You bring to chess facets of your personality and what you are. I have interests other than chess, like music and world and current affairs. I also have many friends around the world with whom I like to keep in touch Picture Quote #1

America is an empire. I hope you know that now. All empires, by definition, are bumbling, shambolic, bullying, bureaucratic affairs, as certain of the rightness of their cause in infancy, as they are corrupted by power in their dotage Picture Quote #1

Every congresswoman surely endures the same strains that drive some of her male colleagues to have affairs: lots of travel, families far away, heady work that makes a domestic routine seem distant and boring. But the stakes are much higher for women, because they are still judged by a different standard Picture Quote #1

There’s a large strain of irony in our human affairs... Interwoven with our affairs is this wonderful spirit of irony which prevents us from ever being utterly and irretrievably serious, from being unaware of the mysterious nature of our existence Picture Quote #1

If there is no fate and our interactions depend on such a complex system of chance encounters, what potentially important connections do we fail to make? What life changing relationships or passionate and lasting love affairs are lost to chance? Picture Quote #1

We have a large public that is very ignorant about public affairs and very susceptible to simplistic slogans by candidates who appear out of nowhere, have no track record, but mouth appealing slogans Picture Quote #1

Every time government attempts to handle our affairs, it costs more and the results are worse than if we had handled them ourselves Picture Quote #1

For most affairs, this eventually becomes the most fundamental of questions, the only one that matters: Do we love each other more than the lives we already have? It is the question that hovers in the background of every secret phone call, flavors every tryst with the head of possibilities of apocalypse and renewal; and it is the answer to that question, or the lack thereof, that so often dooms an affair to failure Picture Quote #1

When I read these books, I no longer felt like I was confined to a very tiny world. I no longer felt housebound and bedbound. Really, I told myself, I was just brainbound. And this was not such a sorry state of affairs. My brain, with a little help from other people’s brains, could take me to some pretty interesting places, and create all kinds of wonderful things. Despite its faults, my brain, I decided, was not the worst place in the world to be Picture Quote #1

A proper disposition of time leaves a man at leisure in the very bustle of affairs; without delaying the attention of his concerns to the last or giving them unnecessary application at first: it affords a season for everything by affording everything its proper season Picture Quote #1

Keep your business affairs in your own hands. It’s the only way to be happy Picture Quote #1

We need a new kind of citizenship, so that we can see citizens as themselves earning the rank of patriot because of their involvement in their community affairs... We as a society need to be encouraging people to focus not just on individual wants but on serving the larger community Picture Quote #1
