Proportion Quotes

Wisdom tends to grow in proportion to one’s awareness of one’s ignorance Picture Quote #1

I have long held the opinion that the amount of noise that anyone can bear undisturbed stands in inverse proportion to his mental capacity and therefore be regarded as a pretty fair measure of it Picture Quote #1

In books, the proportion of exceptional to commonplace people is very high; in reality, very low Picture Quote #1

The insolence of the vulgar is in proportion to their ignorance. They treat everything with contempt which they do not understand Picture Quote #1

And that works for me. So that if this is it, you better take it at its right proportion. That there are serious things, but most things are temporal and ephemeral, and you should cultivate that attitude. That joy and love and all the verities are what counts. So I try not to take too many things seriously, and if I find myself caught up in the seriousness of the moment, within a period of time, I’m able to cajole myself out of it Picture Quote #1

Whatever sympathy I feel towards religions, whatever admiration for some of their adherents, whatever historical or biological necessity I see in them, whatever metaphorical truth, I cannot accept them as credible explanations of reality; and they are incredible to me in proportion to the degree that they require my belief in positive human attributes and intervenient powers in their divinities Picture Quote #1

Truth and reality in art do not arise until you no longer understand what you are doing and are capable of but nevertheless sense a power that grows in proportion to your resistance Picture Quote #1

Ignorance was just as dynamic as knowledge, and it grew in the same proportion Picture Quote #1

The average Mexican lives longer now than the average Briton did in 1955. Infant mortality is lower today in Nepal than it was in Italy in 1951. The proportion of Vietnamese living on less than $2 a day has dropped from 90 per cent to 30 per cent in twenty years. The rich have got richer, but the poor have done even better Picture Quote #1
