Attempt Quotes

Think of how many religions attempt to validate themselves with prophecy. Think of how many people rely on these prophecies, however vague, however unfulfilled, to support or prop up their beliefs.

I regret that, in our attempt to establish some standards, we didn’t make them stick. We couldn’t find a way to pass them on to another generation, really Picture Quote #1

Philosophy is an attempt by man to find cause and effect. Religion has the same goa Picture Quote #1

Beware of endeavoring to become a great man in a hurry. One such attempt in ten thousand may succeed. These are fearful odds Picture Quote #1

The Holy Spirit makes us aware of our lack of holiness to stimulate us to deeper yearning and striving for holiness. But Satan will attempt to use the Holy Spirit's work to discourage us Picture Quote #1

The true realist is he who believes in both God and the Devil, and is prepared to attempt, with humility, to sort out some corner of the extraordinary tangle of their works which is our world. He cannot use his feeling alone, he must use his intellect Picture Quote #1

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt Picture Quote #1

Equations are just the boring part of mathematics. I attempt to see things in terms of geometry Picture Quote #1

He is born in vain, who having attained the human birth, so difficult to get, does not attempt to realise God in this very life Picture Quote #1

Never say you have failed until you have reached your last attempt, and never say it's your last attempt until you have succeeded Picture Quote #1

Truth is something that we can attempt to doubt, and then perhaps, after much exertion, discover that part of the doubt is not justified Picture Quote #1

It is safest to grasp the concept of the postmodern as an attempt to think the present historically in an age that has forgotten how to think historically in the first place Picture Quote #1
