Directs Quotes

Power doesn’t create happiness or unhappiness. It depends how you use it. Wisdom is the guiding force that directs happiness Picture Quote #1

The eye that directs a needle in the delicate meshes of embroidery will equally well bisect a star with the spiderweb of the micrometer Picture Quote #1

In front of the model I work with the same will to reproduce truth as if I were making a portrait. I do not correct nature, I incorporate myself into it; it directs me. I can only work with a model. The sight of human forms nourishes and comforts me Picture Quote #1

Mathematics directs the flow of the universe, lurks behind its shapes and curves, holds the reins of everything from tiny atoms to the biggest stars Picture Quote #1

The man who is striving to solve a problem defined by existing knowledge and technique is not, however, just looking around. He knows what he wants to achieve, and he designs his instruments and directs his thoughts accordingly. Unanticipated novelty, the new discovery, can emerge only to the extent that his anticipations about nature and his instruments prove wrong... There is no other effective way in which discoveries might be generated Picture Quote #1

In every enterprise... the mind is always reasoning, and, even when we seem to act without a motive, an instinctive logic still directs the mind. Only we are not aware of it, because we begin by reasoning before we know or say that we are reasoning, just as we begin by speaking before we observe that we are speaking, and just as we begin by seeing and hearing before we know what we see or what we hear Picture Quote #1

The bad novelist constructs his characters; he directs them and makes them speak. The true novelist listens to them and watches them act; he hears their voices even before he knows them Picture Quote #1

Pride looks back upon its past deeds, and calculating with nicety what it has done, it commits itself to rest; whereas humility looks to that which is before, and discovering how much ground remains to be trodden, it is active and vigilant. Having gained one height, pride looks down with complacency on that which is beneath it; humility looks up to a higher and yet higher elevation. The one keeps us on this earth, which is congenial to its nature; the other directs our eye, and tends to lift us up to heaven Picture Quote #1

I never decide if an idea is good or bad until I try it. So much of what gets in the way of things being good is thinking that we know. And the more that we can remove any baggage we’re carrying with us, and just be in the moment, use our ears, and pay attention to what’s happening, and just listen to the inner voice that directs us, the better Picture Quote #1

When the mind is in a state of uncertainty the smallest impulse directs it to either side Picture Quote #1

The only expenditure, and all it's outworkings, for which God can be held to be responsible is that which He directs Picture Quote #1

Thence results, for science as well as for industry, the necessity of the division and association of labor. I receive and I give - such is human life. Each directs and is directed in his turn Picture Quote #1

God who is eternally complete, who directs the stars, who is the master of fates, who elevates man from his lowliness to Himself, who speaks from the cosmos to every single human soul, is the most brilliant manifestation of the goal of perfection Picture Quote #1

Ah, poor our sex! This fault in us I find, the error of our eye directs our mind. What error leads must error Picture Quote #1

No society has been able to abolish human sadness, no political system can deliver us from the pain of living, from our fear of death, our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition, not vice versa Picture Quote #1

A man should not strive to eliminate his complexes but to get into accord with them: They are legitimately what directs his conduct in the world Picture Quote #1

When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course Picture Quote #1

It is shameful for man to rest in ignorance of the structure of his own body, especially when the knowledge of it mainly conduces to his welfare, and directs his application of his own powers Picture Quote #1

Man supposes that he directs his life and governs his actions, when his existence is irretrievably under the control of destiny Picture Quote #1

Your modest savant smiles as he says to his admirers: What have I done? Nothing. Man does not invent a force, he directs it Picture Quote #1

Knowledge itself is a neutral tool that can be used for good or evil. Wisdom, in contrast, always directs us toward happiness. The task of education must be to stimulate and unleash the wisdom that lies dormant in the lives of all young people. This is not a forced process, like pressing something into a preformed mold, but rather drawing out the potential which exists within Picture Quote #1

It is a defect of God's humour that he directs our hearts everywhere but to those who have a right to them Picture Quote #1

The mechanism that directs government cannot be virtuous, because it is impossible to thwart every crime, to protect oneself from every criminal without being criminal too; that which directs corrupt mankind must be corrupt itself; and it will never be by means of virtue, virtue being inert and passive, that you will maintain control over vice, which is ever active: the governor must be more energetic than the governed Picture Quote #1

Let art, then, imitate nature, find what she desires, and follow as she directs. For in invention nature is never last, education never first; rather the beginnings of things arise from natural talent, and ends are reached by discipline Picture Quote #1

A courageous person is one who faces fearful things as he ought and as reason directs for the sake of what is noble Picture Quote #1

Christmas moves us to think of others rather than of ourselves and directs our thoughts to giving Picture Quote #1

It is the story that owns and directs us. It is the thing that makes us different from cattle; it is the mark on the face that sets one people apart from their neighbors Picture Quote #1

As the fletcher whittles and makes straight his arrows, so the master directs his straying thoughts Picture Quote #1

Bear up, my child, bear up; Zeus who oversees and directs all things is still mighty in heaven Picture Quote #1
