Tendency Quotes

There’s a big tendency to gravitate toward a closed and proprietary approach too easily Picture Quote #1

While nobody has identified any gene for religion, there are certainly some candidate genes that may influence human personality and confer a tendency to religious feelings. Some of the genes likely to be involved are those which control levels of different chemicals called neurotransmitters in the brain Picture Quote #1

I have a tendency toward being a micromanager. Which, the bigger the project you’re involved in, the harder that becomes Picture Quote #1

My friends tell me that I have a tendency to point out problems without offering solutions, but they never tell me what I should do about it Picture Quote #1

It’s true that someone will always say that good and evil don’t exist: that is a person who has never had any dealings with real evil. Good is far less convincing than evil, but it’s because their chemical structures are different. Like gold, good is never found in a pure state in nature: it therefore doesn’t seem impressive. It has the unfortunate tendency not to act; it prefers, passively, to be seen Picture Quote #1

There is a tendency at every important but difficult crossroad to pretend that it’s not really there Picture Quote #1

Nothing in this world happens without a reason. That we are all exactly where we are supposed to be, and that the pieces of the puzzle have a tendency to come together when you least expect it Picture Quote #1

Its always been my tendency to lie to doctors, as if good health consisted only of the ability to fool them Picture Quote #1

Did I have a heart to be contented? Well, no, not particularly. I had a tendency to be discontented: ambitious, dissatisfied, fretful, and tough to please... It’s easier to complain than to laugh, easier to yell than to joke around, easier to be demanding than to be satisfied Picture Quote #1

My tendency to make up stories and lie compulsively for the sake of my own amusement takes up a good portion of my day and provides me with a peace of mind not easily attainable in this economic climate Picture Quote #1

One of the less attractive aspects of human nature is our tendency to hate the people we haven’t treated very well; it’s much easier than accepting guilt. If we can convince ourselves that the people we betrayed or enslaved were subhuman monsters in the first place, then our guilt isn’t nearly so black as we secretly know that it is. Humans are very, very good at shifting blame and avoiding guilt Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, people have a tendency not to notice someone who’s always there, even if that person’s the best thing for them Picture Quote #1

If the financial system has a defect, it is that it reflects and magnifies what we human beings are like. Money amplifies our tendency to overreact, to swing from exuberance when things are going well to deep depression when they go wrong. Booms and busts are products, at root, of our emotional volatility Picture Quote #1

Character is an essential tendency. It can be covered up, it can be messed with, it can be screwed around with, but it can’t be ultimately changed. It’s the structure of our bones, the blood that runs through our veins Picture Quote #1

The tendency of mans nature to good is like the tendency of water to flow downward Picture Quote #1

Like most professional golfers, I have a tendency to remember my poor shots a shade more vividly than the good ones Picture Quote #1

When covering the man with the ball, the defense should be able to touch the ball with his hand. He should assume this touching position as the ball is being received. When the ball is received, the defense should discourage the pass into the post area. The hands should be kept up. Keeping the hands up reduces a tendency to foul and allows a player to move his hands quickly Picture Quote #1

Warm water rebirthing has a tendency to regress people to birth memories and prenatal states of consciousness Picture Quote #1

One of the ordinary modes, by which tyrants accomplish their purposes without resistance, is, by disarming the people, and making it an offence to keep arms, and by substituting a regular army in the stead of a resort to the militia. The friends of a free government cannot be too watchful, to overcome the dangerous tendency of the public mind to sacrifice, for the sake of mere private convenience, this powerful check upon the designs of ambitious men Picture Quote #1

One of the most insidious and nefarious properties of scientific models is their tendency to take over, and sometimes supplant, reality Picture Quote #1

The most dangerous tendency of the modern world is the way in which bogus theories are given the force of dogma Picture Quote #1

Great literature is like moral leadership; everyone deplores the lack of it, but there is a tendency to prefer it from the safely dead Picture Quote #1

Capablanca’s play produced and still produces an irresistable artistic effect. In his games a tendency towards simplicity predominated, and in this simplicity there was a unique beauty of genuine depth Picture Quote #1

Act your age. Students do not look upon you as a buddy, pal, or peer. They expect you to be a mature adult... Many young teachers have a tendency to seek popularity, resorting to tactics that can create endless problems Picture Quote #1

Wildness we might consider as the root of the authentic spontaneities of any being. It is that wellspring of creativity whence comes the instinctive activities that enable all living beings to obtain their food, to find shelter, to bring forth their young: to sing and dance and fly through the air and swim through the depths of the sea. This is the same inner tendency that evokes the insight of the poet, the skill of the artist and the power of the shaman Picture Quote #1

That sound in tune to you? Sounds sharp to me. Sounds like I’m playing sharp all the time. My singing teacher told us you should do that. Maybe I got it from her. She said singers when they grow old have a tendency to go flat. So if you sing sharp as a young person, as you get older and go flat, you’ll be in tune. In other words, it’s never thought good to be flat. It means you can’t get to the tone Picture Quote #1

I have a tendency toward the pleasures of the flesh. It’s a battle for me, as far as weight and things like that. But I’m curbing them because I want to continue to do comedy, and the two don’t mix. So I try to fight those demons Picture Quote #1

Be respectful to others as you grow... If we lack respect for one group, then there is a tendency for that attitude to spread. It becomes infectious and no one becomes safe from the ravages of prejudice Picture Quote #1

A second characteristic of the process which for me is the good life, is that it involves an increasingly tendency to live fully in each moment. I believe it would be evident that for the person who was fully open to his new experience, completely without defensiveness, each moment would be new Picture Quote #1

In considering any new subject, there is frequently a tendency, first, to overrate what we find to be already interesting or remarkable; and, secondly, by a sort of natural reaction, to undervalue the true state of the case, when we do discover that our notions have surpassed those that were really tenable Picture Quote #1
