Text Quotes
I derive no pleasure from talking with a young woman simply because she has regular features  (Derive Quotes) There are men in the world who derive an exaltation from the proximity of disaster and ruin, as other from success  (Derive Quotes) When we are in competition with ourselves, and match our todays against our yesterdays, we derive encouragement from past misfortunes and blemishes. Moreover, the competition with ourselves leaves unimpaired our benevolence toward our fellow men  (Derive Quotes) Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting! They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can’t see. Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out  (Derive Quotes) It is only from the light which streams constantly from heaven that a tree can derive the energy to strike its roots deep into the soil. The tree is in fact rooted in the sky  (Derive Quotes) An economy genuinely local and neighborly offers to localities a measure of security that they cannot derive from a national or a global economy controlled by people who, by principle, have no local commitment  (Derive Quotes) Museums and art stores are also sources of pleasure and inspiration. Doubtless it will seem strange to many that the hand unaided by sight can feel action, sentiment, beauty in the cold marble; and yet it is true that I derive genuine pleasure from touching great works of art. As my finger tips trace line and curve, they discover the thought and emotion which the artist has portrayed  (Derive Quotes) Some are born with knowledge, some derive it from study, and some acquire it only after a painful realization of their ignorance. But the knowledge being possessed, it comes to the same thing. Some study with a natural ease, some from a desire for advantages, and some by strenuous effort. But the achievement being made, it comes to the same thing  (Derive Quotes) ... we have more faith in what we imitate than in what we originate. We cannot derive a sense of absolute certitude from anything which has its roots in us. The most poignant sense of insecurity comes from standing alone and we are not alone when we imitate. It is thus with most of us; we are what other people say we are. We know ourselves chiefly by hearsay  (Derive Quotes) Give up money, give up fame, give up science, give the earth itself and all it contains rather than do an immoral act. And never suppose that in any possible situation, or under any circumstances, it is best for you to do a dishonorable thing, however slightly so it may appear to you... From the practice of the purest virtue, you may be assured you will derive the most sublime comforts in every moment of life, and in the moment of death  (Derive Quotes) Just as we believe by faith that the greatest happiness of the next life consists simply in the contemplation of this divine majesty, likewise we experience that we derive the greatest joy of which we are capable in this life from the same contemplation, even though it is much less perfect  (Derive Quotes) You simply have to eventually fall under suspicion from somebody even by a wrong call. And then they can use this system to go back in time and scrutinize every decision you’ve ever made, every friend you’ve ever discussed something with. And attack you on that basis to sort to derive suspicion from an innocent life and paint anyone in the context of a wrongdoer  (Derive Quotes) Only stilted pedants can conceive the idea that there are absolute norms to tell what is beautiful and what is not. They try to derive from the works of the past a code of rules with which, as they fancy, the writers and artists of the future should comply. But the genius does not cooperate with the pundit  (Derive Quotes) All the particular moral judgments we intuitively make are likely to derive from discarded religious systems, from warped views of sex and bodily functions, or from customs necessary for the survival of the group in social and economic circumstances that now lie in the distant past  (Derive Quotes) Our government rests upon religion. It is from that source that we derive our reverance for truth and justice, for equality and liberty, and for the rights of mankind. Unless the people believe in these principles they cannot believe in our government  (Derive Quotes) Such are the mass of the supporters of either party. They derive their political opinions originally from some family tradition or some fanciful preference, but they back them with all the passion of sportsmen. In a vague subconscious way they know it is a game, but they happen to enjoy playing the game  (Derive Quotes) Every mission constitutes a pledge of duty. Every man is bound to consecrate his every faculty to its fulfilment. He will derive his rule of action from the profound conviction of that duty  (Derive Quotes) All words at every level of prose and poetry and all devices of language and speech derive their meaning from figure / ground relation  (Derive Quotes) Possessing utility, commodities derive their exchangeable value from two sources: from their scarcity, and from the quantity of labour required to obtain them  (Derive Quotes) The powers of government exercised locally derive from a federal law authorizing government by consent in local affairs only, unless those affairs are otherwise governed by federal law  (Derive Quotes) Three blind mice walk into a pub. But they are unaware of their surroundings, so to derive humour from it would be exploitative  (Derive Quotes) The amount of effort put into a campaign by a worker expands in proportion to the personal benefits that he will derive from his party’s victory  (Derive Quotes) I learned that economics was not an exact science and that the most erudite men would analyze the economic ills of the world and derive a totally different conclusion  (Derive Quotes) All man’s miseries derive from not being able to sit quietly in a room alone  (Derive Quotes) The best thing which we derive from history is the enthusiasm that it raises in us  (Derive Quotes) Genius does not seem to derive any great support from syllogisms. Its carriage is free; its manner has a touch of inspiration. We see it come, but we never see it walk  (Derive Quotes) All errors spring up in the neighborhood of some truth; they grow round about it, and, for the most part, derive their strength from such contiguity  (Derive Quotes) Whatever the practical origins of aesthetic discernment may have been, it has been used to create great works of art. When the very loftiest human creations are seen to derive from humble origins and functions, what needs revision is not our esteem for these creations but our notion of nobility  (Derive Quotes) All the food that is put into the stomach that the system cannot derive benefit from, is a burden to nature in her work  (Derive Quotes) It’s nonsensical to derive a price/earnings ratio by dividing the known current price by unknown future earnings  (Derive Quotes)
