Used Quotes

Handicaps can be converted into stepping stones on which one may climb toward some worthy goal, unless they are accepted as obstacles, and used as alibis Picture Quote #1

Because ideas have to be original only with regard to their adaptation to the problem at hand, I am always extremely interested in how others have used used them Picture Quote #1

A person I knew used to divide human beings into three categories: those who prefer to have nothing to hide rather than being obliged to lie, those who prefer lying to having nothing to hide, and finally those who like both lying and the hidden Picture Quote #1

Whenever power is used for evil, it becomes diabolical; it must be used for good only Picture Quote #1

Excuses are tools of the incompetent used to build bridges to nowhere and monuments of nothingness Picture Quote #1

The beauty and the scent of roses can be used as a medicine and the sun rays as a food Picture Quote #1

I used to visit and revisit it a dozen times a day, and stand in deep contemplation over my vegetable progeny with a love that nobody could share or conceive of who had never taken part in the process of creation. It was one of the most bewitching sights in the world to observe a hill of beans thrusting aside the soil, or a rose of early peas just peeping forth sufficiently to trace a line of delicate green Picture Quote #1

I am learning to see. I don’t know why it is, but everything enters me more deeply and doesn’t stop where it once used to. I have an interior that I never knew of... What’s the use of telling someone that I am changing? If I’m changing, I am no longer who I was; and if I am something else, it’s obvious that I have no acquaintances. And I can’t possibly write to strangers Picture Quote #1

She was in a terrible marriage and she couldn’t talk to anyone. He used to hit her, and in the beginning she told him that if it ever happened again, she would leave him. He swore that it wouldn’t and she believed him. But it only got worse after that, like when his dinner was cold, or when she mentioned that she’d visited with one of the neighbors who was walking by with his dog. She just chatted with him, but that night, her husband threw her into a mirror Picture Quote #1

Life had taught her that we all require big and small lies in order to survive, just as much as we need air. She used to say that if during one single day, from dawn to dusk, we could see the naked reality of the world, and of ourselves, we would either take our own lives or lose our minds Picture Quote #1

I am a woman who is a granddaughter of a lady who used to be beaten on the head by her husband, of a mother who went through hell because she was divorced and had to bring up these kids. And I can take 10 men out to lunch and pay the bill, and nobody even thinks twice about it. So don’t mess with me Picture Quote #1

All parts of the body which have a function, if used in moderation and exercised in labors in which each is accustomed, become thereby healthy, well developed and age more slowly, but if unused they become liable to disease, defective in growth and age quickly Picture Quote #1

I do not believe that I’m sacrificing, in fact I feel very uneasy when others used the word sacrifice to describe my life. It sounds like I’m demanding returns for my investments. I chose to walk on this journey, because I solely believed in it and wholeheartedly decided to do so, and I’m willing and able to pay for the consequences Picture Quote #1

The great secret of success is to go through life as a man who never gets used up. That is possible for him who never argues and strives with men and facts, but in all experience retires upon himself, and looks for the ultimate cause of things in himself Picture Quote #1

I used to believe, like many people who come from poor backgrounds, that it gave me an edge, but I think that’s just something we have to tell ourselves to get by sometimes. I don’t believe that anymore. Children of privilege can be just as talented and clever as anybody else Picture Quote #1

Audrey was a princess, so natural, the camera really loved her... James and I kept each other company during all the rejections. We used to meet, have a cup of coffee and went from office to office to get work and never got work Picture Quote #1

A sword by itself does not slay; it is merely the weapon used by the slayer Picture Quote #1

I used to say to our audiences: It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it! Picture Quote #1

I remember when I used to sit on hospital beds and hold people’s hands, people used to be shocked because they’d never seen this before. To me it was quite normal Picture Quote #1

This is rather different from the receptions I used to get fifty years ago. They threw things at me then but they were not roses Picture Quote #1

When a woman forsakes her vulnerability because she’s been hurt or because she lives in a dangerous world or doesn’t want to be used, she loses something essential about being a woman Picture Quote #1

If you’re a freelance writer and aren’t used to being ignored, neglected, and generally given short shrift, you must not have been in the business very long Picture Quote #1

I have a lot more energy than I used to have. I sleep better. I like the way I look in my clothes better. I don’t cramp as much. I exercise better. I think my circulation has gotten better Picture Quote #1

There is no music that can’t be used politically, but the motives behind the creation of that music can be non-political Picture Quote #1

I’m often a crier and many things make me cry. I come from a crying family - my mother cries, my grandma used to cry. It was never shameful to cry. My father never told me men don’t cry Picture Quote #1

I’ve gotten all kinds of reactions and it’s been used in so many different ways Picture Quote #1

I have no idea why my mom picked Bob, and I’ve never asked her. My name used to get slaughtered all the time by other people. I was ‘Desmond’ or ‘Damon’ or `Demon.’ So Bob’s cool Picture Quote #1

[Facism] that incredibly loaded word we do not associate with the real American politics is being used by other conservatives, by other Republicans to talk about Donald Trump Picture Quote #1
