Inclination Quotes

If you have the stomach for stocks, but neither the time nor the inclination to do the homework, invest in equity mutual funds Picture Quote #1

Whatever a person frequently thinks and reflects on, that will become the inclination of their mind Picture Quote #1

I have thought of a pulley to raise me gradually; but that would give me pain, as it would counteract my natural inclination. I would have something that can dissipate the inertia and give elasticity to the muscles. We can heat the body, we can cool it; we can give it tension or relaxation; and surely it is possible to bring it into a state in which rising from bed will not be a pain Picture Quote #1

The natural inclination of a child is to take pleasure in the use of the mind no less than of the body. The child’s primary business is learning. It is also the primary entertainment. To retain that orientation into adulthood, so that consciousness is not a burden but a joy, is the mark of the successfully developed human being Picture Quote #1

It is not difficult to deprive the great majority of independent thought. But the minority who will retain an inclination to criticize must also be silenced... Public criticism or even expressions of doubt must be suppressed because they tend to weaken pubic support... When the doubt or fear expressed concerns not the success of a particular enterprise but of the whole social plan, it must be treated even more as sabotage Picture Quote #1

I have an intellectual inclination for democratic institutions, but I am instinctively an aristocrat, which means that I despise and fear the masses. I passionately love liberty, legality, the respect for rights, but not democracy... liberty is my foremost passion. That is the truth Picture Quote #1

Imitation is often a shortcut to a solution. We copy when we lack the inclination, the ability or the time to work out an independent solution. People in a hurry will imitate more readily than people at leisure. Hustling thus tends to produce uniformity. And in the deliberate fusing of individuals into a compact group, incessant action will play a considerable role Picture Quote #1

The other producer of old age is habit: the deathly process of doing the same thing in the same way at the same hour day after day, first from carelessness, then from inclination, at last from cowardice or inertia. Luckily the inconsequent life is not the only alternative; for caprice is as ruinous as routine. Habit is necessary; it is the habit of having habits, of turning a trail into a rut, that must be incessantly fought against if one is to remain alive Picture Quote #1

I know the disposition of women: when you will, they won’t; when you won’t, they set their hearts upon you of their own inclination Picture Quote #1

Men’s thoughts, are much according to their inclination; their discourse and speeches, according to their learning and infused opinions; but their deeds, are after as they have been accustomed Picture Quote #1

The laws would not prevent each man from living according to his inclination, unless individuals harmed each other; for envy creates the beginning of strife Picture Quote #1

You’ll face overwhelming odds; you’ll be incredibly outnumbered. Fear would be your natural inclination. But keep in mind, God is with you Picture Quote #1

A man ought to readjust as inclination leads him, for what he reads as a task will do him little good Picture Quote #1

Every one in a crowd has the power to throw dirt: nine out of ten have the inclination Picture Quote #1

Almost every one has a predominant inclination, to which his other desires and affections submit, and which governs him, though perhaps with some intervals, though the whole course of his life Picture Quote #1

No man reads a book of science from pure inclination. The books that we do read with pleasure are light compositions, which contain a quick succession of events Picture Quote #1

Many persons sigh for death when it seems far off, but the inclination vanishes when the boat upsets, or the locomotive runs off the track, or the measles set it Picture Quote #1

Women see everything or nothing according to the inclination of their hearts. Love is their sole light Picture Quote #1

If a man begins to read in the middle of a book, and feels an inclination to go on, let him not quit it to go to the beginning. He may perhaps not feel again the inclination Picture Quote #1

We launch when we’re kind of in the same orbit that they are in terms of being matched up in inclination in space, and we’re just in a little different altitude Picture Quote #1

Lives are changed by a moment’s listening to conscience, by a single and quiet inclination of the mind Picture Quote #1

There is no field other than the weird in which I have any aptitude or inclination for fictional composition. Life has never interested me so much as the escape from life Picture Quote #1

The inclination to digress is human. But the dramatist must avoid it even more strenuously than the saint must avoid sin, for while sin may be venial, digression is mortal Picture Quote #1

But I had not the strength nor the inclination to bandy words with a drunkard. What have you done when you have bested a fool? Picture Quote #1

Wisdom is the power to see, and the inclination to choose, the best and highest goal, together with the surest means of attaining it Picture Quote #1

Every fresh act of sin lessens fear and remorse, hardens our hearts, blunts the edge of our conscience, and increases our evil inclination Picture Quote #1

I learned easily and had time to follow my inclination for sports (light athletics and skiing) and chemistry, which I taught myself by reading all textbooks I could get Picture Quote #1

When Socrates was about 30, and his father was long dead, he was still pursuing the art of sculpture, but from necessity, and without much inclination Picture Quote #1

Being open source meant that I could work on the technical side (along with lots of other people), and others who had the interest and inclination could start up companies around it Picture Quote #1

Wherever there’s capitalism there’s this inclination toward simplicity. There’s also a human need to process complicated things by turning them into something else Picture Quote #1
