Terms Quotes

As I know more of mankind, I expect less of them, and am ready now to call a man a good man, upon easier terms than I was formerly Picture Quote #1

Antiquity is a species of aristocracy with which it is not easy to be on visiting terms Picture Quote #1

I was not born under a rhyming planet, nor I cannot woo to in festival terms Picture Quote #1

People's behavior makes sense if you think about it in terms of their goals, needs, and motives Picture Quote #1

In terms of men I fancy, I think the actor James Franco is gorgeous. But I find it odd to be described as a sex symbol myself Picture Quote #1

You have to work in this business on your own terms. Don’t sell out for money, fame, or notoriety Picture Quote #1

As a person, I’m pretty much the same except that I’ve come to terms with who my real friends and supporters are. I don’t get particularly friendly with new people at first go Picture Quote #1

If you’re an actor, there’s going to be a sense of fantasy about yourself, especially in the celebrity world we live in today. You give the illusion of being in control, sexy, at ease, with never a difficult moment. Those are the basic lies that all celebrities tell. For me, they’re the more dangerous lies to come to terms with Picture Quote #1

A currency serves three functions: providing a means of payment, a unit of account and a store of value. Gold may be a store of value for wealth, but it is not a means of payment. You cannot pay for your groceries with it. Nor is it a unit of account. Prices of goods and services, and of financial assets, are not denominated in gold terms Picture Quote #1

If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I wouldn’t pass it around. Wouldn’t be doing anybody a favor. Trouble creates a capacity to handle it. I don’t say embrace trouble. That’s as bad as treating it as an enemy. But I do say, meet it as a friend, for you’ll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it Picture Quote #1

We only begin to live life when we learn to accept it on its own terms Picture Quote #1

Poverty, therefore, was comparative. One measured it by a sliding scale. One was always poor, in terms of those who were richer Picture Quote #1

I think transwomen, and transpeople in general, show everyone that you can define what it means to be a man or woman on your own terms. A lot of what feminism is about is moving outside of roles and moving outside of expectations of who and what you’re supposed to be to live a more authentic life Picture Quote #1

You don’t come to terms with something before you do it. It’s only after you’ve done it that you realize, you know, maybe that wasn’t the best thing to do. Sometimes you gotta fall down to know the feeling to get up Picture Quote #1

By the duty to be happy, I thus refer to the ideology... that urges us to evaluate everything in terms of pleasure and displeasure... on the one hand, we have to make the most of our lives; on the other, we have to be sorry and punish ourselves if we don’t succeed in doing so. This is a perversion of a very beautiful idea: that everyone has a right to control his own destiny and to improve his life Picture Quote #1

To put it another way: a conference is an elite meeting on equal terms; a congress is a group of elites meeting on opposite terms; a convention is a mob meeting on equal terms; a course is an elite instructing a mob; and a colloquium is a group capable of considering all these phenomena Picture Quote #1

I finally came to terms with manic depression and lithium. I’ve taken lithium regularly for the past few years and have had no further bouts with manic depression Picture Quote #1

Perhaps I could best describe my experience of doing mathematics in terms of entering a dark mansion. You go into the first room and it’s dark, completely dark. You stumble around, bumping into the furniture. Gradually, you learn where each piece of furniture is. And finally, after six months or so, you find the light switch and turn it on. Suddenly, it’s all illuminated and you can see exactly where you were. Then you enter the next dark room Picture Quote #1

If a serious statement is defined as one that may be made in terms of waking life, poetry will never rise to the level of seriousness. It lies beyond seriousness, on that more primitive and original level where the child, the animal, the savage, and the seer belong, in the region of dream, enchantment, ecstasy, laughter. To understand poetry we must be capable of donning the child’s soul like a magic cloak and of forsaking man’s wisdom for the child’s Picture Quote #1

Moreover, metaphor is typically viewed as characteristic of language alone, a matter of words rather than thought or action. For this reason, most people think they can get along perfectly well without metaphor. We have found, on the contrary, that metaphor is pervasive in everyday life, not just in language but in thought and action. Our ordinary conceptual system, in terms of which we both think and act, is fundamentally metaphorical in nature Picture Quote #1

Sometimes we spend more efforts with people that are strangers in terms of making an impression than the person that’s closest to us. And you just got to remember not to take for granted that person that’s closest to you Picture Quote #1

It takes a long while for a director to cease thinking in terms of the result he desires and instead concentrate on discovering the source of energy in the actor from which true impulses arise Picture Quote #1

I find a face beautiful, good looking, attractive, and all the terms you want to use, once I know them Picture Quote #1

In terms of changes, the spiritual mentors teach me that I must not forget those relating primarily to improve myself Picture Quote #1

I think a lot of people want people who actually have qualities they don’t find attractive as a way of being able to change them. It’s fascinating, because people think if they can change the other person, they can change themselves. It’s a complex phenomenon. It’s a fantasy that’s actually about being able to come to terms with ourselves Picture Quote #1

Demand is best measured in terms of spending. You know, I think in traditional economics, it’s a mistake to measure it in terms of the quantity of goods Picture Quote #1

Studying the universe engages us in something bigger than ourselves. Science tries to describe, in terms we can only grasp intuitively, things that are beyond our intuition.... all we can hope for is that our physical descriptions, like a song or a good painting, are a faithful evocation of some ineffable truth Picture Quote #1

All men desire their own perfect adjustment, but they desire it, being finite men, on their own terms Picture Quote #1

If you want freedom you have to come to terms with being okay in the now doing nothing Picture Quote #1
