Prestige Quotes

Most teams aren’t teams at all but merely collections of individual relationships with the boss. Each individual vying with the others for power, prestige and position Picture Quote #1

Often times, the more power and prestige a person achieves, the more arrogant a person can become Picture Quote #1

As for money and prestige, if one has an opportunity to make money and/or advance their position or place in life, there can be a lot to weigh and consider, such as responsibilities, goals and objectives, etc. We all make choices, deal with our sense of priorities, principles, ethics, morals, balancing, juggling, making compromises... or not! Ha! Picture Quote #1

I try to keep in my mind the simple question: Am I trying to do good or make myself look good? Too many of our responsibilities get added to our plate when we are trying to please people, impress people, prove ourselves, acquire power, increase our prestige. All those motivations are about looking good more than doing good Picture Quote #1

Getting to the top of any given mountain was considered much less important than how one got there: prestige was earned by tackling the most unforgiving routes with minimal equipment, in the boldest style imaginable Picture Quote #1

Would you be willing to give your life to save the world if no one ever knew your name? If anonymity was the price you would have to pay for significance, would it be too great a price? To live a life of courage is not a guarantee of prestige or adulation. It only matters if you live and die fulfilling the mission you were born for Picture Quote #1

Heroes and scholars represent the opposite extremes... The scholar struggles for the benefit of all humanity, sometimes to reduce physical effort, sometimes to reduce pain, and sometimes to postpone death, or at least render it more bearable. In contrast, the patriot sacrifices a rather substantial part of humanity for the sake of his own prestige. His statue is always erected on a pedestal of ruins and corpses... In contrast, all humanity crowns a scholar, love forms the pedestal of his statues, and his triumphs defy the desecration of time and the judgment of history Picture Quote #1

It’s what each of us sows, and how, that gives us character and prestige Picture Quote #1

I do not believe that the present flowering of science is due in the least to a real appreciation of the beauty and intellectual discipline of the subject. It is due simply to the fact that power, wealth and prestige can only be obtained by the correct application of science Picture Quote #1

The stronger that women grow, the more prestige, fame, and money is accorded to the display professions: They are held higher and higher above the heads of rising women, for them to emulate Picture Quote #1

In a dying civilization, political prestige is the reward not of the shrewdest diagnostician, but of the man with the best bedside manner Picture Quote #1

The ball gave me prestige, gave me fame, gave me riches. Thank you, my old friend Picture Quote #1

All cities are geological; you cannot take three steps without encountering ghosts bearing all the prestige of their legends. We move within a closed landscape whose landmarks constantly draw us toward the past. Certain shifting angles, certain receding perspectives, allow us to glimpse original conceptions of space, but this vision remains fragmentary. It must be sought in the magical locales of fairy tales and surrealist writings: castles, endless walls, little forgotten bars, mammoth caverns, casino mirrors Picture Quote #1

Tradition has it that whenever a group of people has tasted the lovely fruits of wealth, security and prestige it begins to find it more comfortable to believe in the obvious lie and accept that it alone is entitled to privilege Picture Quote #1

Cancer has pizzazz, box office and glamour, and in actual dollars and prestige, even heart and mental can’t hold a candle to it. It’s a health dodge with a future and everybody who’s anybody is jumping in Picture Quote #1

A human group transforms itself into a crowd when it suddenly responds to a suggestion rather than to reasoning, to an image rather than to an idea, to an affirmation rather than to proof, to the repetition of a phrase rather than to arguments, to prestige rather than to competence Picture Quote #1

When the power, prestige, and financial support of government is placed behind a particular religious belief, the indirect coercive pressure upon religious minorities to conform to the prevailing officially approved religion is plain Picture Quote #1

I’m certainly not into money and prestige. For me there is simply nothing more exciting than people involved in the creation of great products. That is what drives me Picture Quote #1

I’ve opened my mouth on a lot of subjects. And I thought the more prestige you get, I’d have the power to do what I like. It’s not true Picture Quote #1

People talk about the prestige of beating records but prestige never bought me dinner in a restaurant. It’s winning games that does that Picture Quote #1

The influence of the leaders is due in very small measure to the arguments they employ, but in a large degree to their prestige. The best proof of this is that, should they by any circumstance lose their prestige, their influence disappears Picture Quote #1

All the money, all the prestige in the world will never make up for the loss of your freedom Picture Quote #1

People are so overwhelmed with the prestige of their instruments that they consider their personal judgement of hardly any account Picture Quote #1

There can be no doubt that the systematic hostility of the courts to religion has lowered the prestige of religion in the public mind Picture Quote #1

The philosophical spirit is not satisfied to simply accept what it is told, no matter how much prestige the teller seems to have. This is true even if the teller is a God Picture Quote #1

The entire history of mankind is, in any case, nothing but a prolonged fight to the death for the conquest of universal prestige and absolute power Picture Quote #1

It is still fashionable to believe that how you organize yourself religiously in this life may matter for eternity. Unless we can erode the prestige of that kind of thinking, we’re not going to be able to undermine these divisions in our world Picture Quote #1

Magic is a state of mind. It is often portrayed as very black and gothic, and that is because certain practitioners played that up for a sense of power and prestige. That is a disservice. Magic is very colorful. Of this, I am sure Picture Quote #1

If feminism has receded in visibility and prestige, it is precisely because its vision of life’s goals and rewards has become too narrow and elitist Picture Quote #1

Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige. It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character Picture Quote #1
