Uster Quotes

A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It’s a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity Picture Quote #1

Social media is itself as temporary as any social gathering, nightclub or party. It’s the people that matter, not the venue. So when the trend leaders of one social niche or another decide the place everyone is socializing has lost its luster or, more important, its exclusivity, they move on to the next one, taking their followers with them Picture Quote #1

Know that the eradication of the identification with the body is charity, spiritual austerity and ritual sacrifice; it is virtue, divine union and devotion; it is heaven, wealth, peace and truth; it is grace; it is the state of divine silence; it is the deathless death; it is jnana, renunciation, final liberation and bliss Picture Quote #1

She looked up at him and her face was pale and austere in the uplight and her eyes lost in their darkly shadowed hollows save only for the glint of them and he could see her throat move in the light and he saw in her face and in her figure something he’d not seen before and the name of that thing was sorrow Picture Quote #1

That afternoon the sky was scattered with black clouds galloping in from the sea and clustering over the city. Flashes of lightening echoed on the horizon and a charged warm wind smelling of dust announced a powerful summer storm. When I reached the station I noticed the first few drops, shiny and heavy, like coins falling from heaven... Night seemed to fall suddenly, interrupted only by the lightning now bursting over the city, leaving a trail of noise and fury Picture Quote #1

When you have dogs, you witness their uncomplaining acceptance of suffering, their bright desire to make the most of life in spite of the limitations of age and disease, their calm awareness of the approaching end when their final hours come. They accept death with a grace that I hope I will one day be brave enough to muster Picture Quote #1

When envoys are sent with compliments in their mouths, it is a sign that the enemy wishes for a truce. If the enemy’s troops march up angrily and remain facing ours for a long time without either joining battle or removing demands, the situation is one that requires great vigilance and circumspection. To begin by bluster, but afterward to take fright at the enemy’s numbers, shows a supreme lack of intelligence Picture Quote #1

Of these austerer virtues the love of truth is the chief, and in mathematics, more than elsewhere, the love of truth may find encouragement for waning faith. Every great study is not only an end in itself, but also a means of creating and sustaining a lofty habit of mind; and this purpose should be kept always in view throughout the teaching and learning of mathematics Picture Quote #1

Sometimes in the afternoon sky the moon would pass white as a cloud, furtive, lusterless, like an actress who does not have to perform yet and who, from the audience, in street clothes, watches the other actors for a moment, making herself inconspicuous, not wanting anyone to pay attention to her Picture Quote #1

There are but two roads that lead to an important goal and to the doing of great things: strength and perseverance. Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time Picture Quote #1

You can’t do anything as long as you are afraid of what might happen. Fear clouds opportunities, erases possibilities, and limits the ability to move beyond the place in which the mind is stuck. No matter how difficult we think the problem is, we must muster up the courage to face it Picture Quote #1

What people want is not what some would call imaginative and often austere productions but very lavish productions which cast back into the auditorium an image of their affluence Picture Quote #1

Joyce for all his devotion to his art, terrible in its austerity, was a lad born with a song on one side of him, a dance on the other; two gay guardian angels every human ought to have Picture Quote #1

Everything is produced by the workers, and the minute they try to get something by their unions they meet all the opposition that can be mustered by those who now get what they produce Picture Quote #1

A sparkling house is a fine thing if the children aren’t robbed of their luster in keeping it that way Picture Quote #1

Americans have always been able to handle austerity and even adversity. Prosperity is what is doing us in Picture Quote #1

Some of the most interesting questions needing to be asked today can best be asked on television, or on stage, and they can be wonderful, great dramas, but they won’t necessarily be blockbusters Picture Quote #1

Affirmative action works but we’re going to need to muster all our political resources if we are to keep it in place Picture Quote #1

Bluster, sputter, question, cavil; but be sure your argument be intricate enough to confound the court Picture Quote #1

Blockbusters are the exception, not the rule, and yet we see an entire industry through their rarefied air Picture Quote #1

We think about what to do, and muster considerations and arguments in favor of one course or another. How are we to think about that? Picture Quote #1

How does he do it? How does he master people without bluster or bullying? How does he make people fear him or love him, not in spite of his ruthlessness but because of it? Picture Quote #1

The clustering of technological innovation in time and space helps explain both the uneven growth among nations and the rise and decline of hegemonic powers Picture Quote #1

He felt a crude ecstasy. He could not have given the reason, but the mountain tormented him, beckoned him, held an answer to something he wanted. It was so pure, so austere Picture Quote #1

Invariably pure and austere, poets mostly starve to death embracing empty mountains, and when white clouds have no master, they just drift off, idle thoughts carefree Picture Quote #1

The excess of the voluptuary, like the austerities of the recluse, triumphs in the suffrage of perverted reason Picture Quote #1

Blow, boreas, foe to human kind! Blow, blustering, freezing, piercing wind! Blow, that thy force I may rehearse, while all my thoughts congeal to verse! Picture Quote #1

Sir, the servants, instead of doing what they are bid, stand round the table in idle clusters, gaping upon their guests; and seem as unfit to attend a company, as to steer a man of war Picture Quote #1

Mouths without hands; maintained at vast expense, in peace a charge, in war a weak defense: Stout once a month they march, a blustering band, and ever, but in times of need, at hand Picture Quote #1

Let other lands, exulting, glean the apple from the pine, the orange from its glossy green, the cluster from the vine Picture Quote #1
