Useful Quotes

Eventually we realize that not knowing what to do is just as real and just as useful as knowing what to do. Not knowing stops us from taking false directions. Not knowing what to do, we start to pay real attention. Just as people lost in the wilderness, on a cliff face or in a blizzard pay attention with a kind of acuity that they would not have if they thought they knew where they were. Why? Because for those who are really lost, their life depends on paying real attention. If you think you know where you are, you stop looking Picture Quote #1

The rifle is a weapon. Let there be no mistake about that. It is a tool of power, and thus dependent completely upon the moral stature of its user.

In fact, it is the only means of resisting tyranny, since a citizenry armed with rifles simply cannot be tyrannized Picture Quote #1

An agricultural landscape produces food but it also provides water, requires biodiversity to underpin soil function, pollination and other useful services, and also has value to society in terms of aesthetics and recreation Picture Quote #1

Why would you have a language that is not theoretically exciting? Because it’s very useful Picture Quote #1

I can draw with sound. That’s the most useful thing I learned in terms of what my craft is... The arrangements were mine. They were little lines and stuff that I had written myself... And I was locked into this idea that vocals didn’t count, melodies didn’t count, songwriting craftsmanship didn’t count. The only thing that counted was high arching guitar solos Picture Quote #1

Take what’s useful, leave out what’s useless, and add a bit of yourself! Picture Quote #1

We acquire both the language and religious concepts from our immediate culture – at the same time. A child cannot discriminate between useful survival information and the emotional and psychological manipulations of religion. Once infected, these ideas are deeply embedded and almost impossible to change Picture Quote #1

I think there’s only so many people that can take care of themselves, and can take care of other people. And the rest of the people … they’re useful in terms of compost for the whole planet, you know Picture Quote #1

If you take your fear and mash it into something that’s actually useful, then it doesn’t feel like it wins Picture Quote #1

All fortune is good fortune; for it either rewards, disciplines, amends, or punishes, and so is either useful or just Picture Quote #1

Whenever a man can get hold of numbers, they are invaluable: if correct, they assist in informing his own mind, but they are still more useful in deluding the minds of others. Numbers are the masters of the weak, but the slaves of the strong Picture Quote #1

It’s common platitude that knowledge is neutral but every now and then it would be useful if it was on your side and not theirs Picture Quote #1

There are no rules in writing. There are useful principles. Throw them away when they’re not useful. But always know what you’re throwing away Picture Quote #1

For most of history, war has been a more or less functional institution, providing benefits for those societies that were good at it, although the cost in money, in lives, and in suffering was always significant. Only in the past century have large numbers of people begun to question the basic assumption of civilized societies that war is inevitable and often useful Picture Quote #1

Cabbage as a food has problems. It is easy to grow, a useful source of greenery for much of the year. Yet as a vegetable it has original sin, and needs improvement. It can smell foul in the pot, linger through the house with pertinacity, and ruin a meal with its wet flab. Cabbage also has a nasty history of being good for you Picture Quote #1

Five years ago, the heroes were technologists. Today, the heroes are designers building out a user experience. You can have the most amazing technology in the world, but if it’s not put in a form that’s useful and desirable, you won’t be successful Picture Quote #1

Creativity is the generation and initial development of new, useful ideas. Innovation is the successful implementation of those ideas in an organization.

It has become obligatory to fulfil a function which shall in some way be regarded as useful to the masses... Even an articulated mass always tends to become unspiritual and inhuman.

I believe that a man can only be useful to his country when he can look at it clearly Picture Quote #1

Do not weep, for I shall be more useful to you after my death and I shall help you then more effectively than during my life Picture Quote #1
