Top Accomplishes Quotes

Accomplishes Quotes By Leo Tolstoy

The most important acts, both for the one who accomplishes them and for his fellow creatures, are those that have remote consequences. — Leo Tolstoy

Accomplishes Quotes By John Bolton

You know, as somebody who writes op-eds and appears on the television, I appreciate as well as anybody that ... there is a limit to what that accomplishes. — John Bolton

Accomplishes Quotes By George Lincoln Rockwell

A man who knows a thing, recognizes a given danger, and sees with his own eyes the possibility of a remedy, damned well has the duty and the obligation not to work 'silently', but to stand up openly against the evil and for its cure. If he does not do so then he is a faithless, miserable weakling who fails either from cowardice or from laziness and incompetence ... Every last agitator who possesses the courage to defend his opinions with manly forth-rightness, standing on a tavern table among his adversaries, accomplishes more than a thousand of these lying, treacherous sneaks. — George Lincoln Rockwell

Accomplishes Quotes By Wilhelm Von Humboldt

It is a characteristic of old age to find the progress of time accelerated. The less one accomplishes in a given time, the shorter does the retrospect appear. — Wilhelm Von Humboldt

Accomplishes Quotes By Charles Dudley Warner

Perhaps nobody ever accomplishes all that he feels lies in him to do; but nearly every one who tries his power touches the walls of his being. — Charles Dudley Warner

Accomplishes Quotes By Charles Haddon Spurgeon

WISDOM is man's true strength; and, under its guidance, he best accomplishes the ends of his being. — Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Accomplishes Quotes By Meera Uberoi

The king should act with promptitude, for without promptitude of action mere destiny never accomplishes the objects cherished by kings. The question for whether it is the king that makes the age or the age that makes the king, the king should entertain no doubt. It is the king that makes the age. — Meera Uberoi

Accomplishes Quotes By Michael Beckwith

Do you press the "pause" button - the "until" button in life by saying "I can't be happy until ... "? All this accomplishes is a delay in your entry into your innate state of happiness, which is independent of outer circumstances. So press the "play" button and rejoice in the now-ness of the moment! — Michael Beckwith

Accomplishes Quotes By Honore De Balzac

Despotism accomplishes great things illegally; liberty doesn't even go to the trouble of accomplishing small things legally. — Honore De Balzac

Accomplishes Quotes By Thomas Daniel Nehrer

If you picture other people as superior to yourself, you will realize that
mental image. Putting a preacher, a saint, a prophet, an expert or anybody up on a pedestal in your personal view, fundamentally accomplishes nothing but the effect of putting you in a pit. — Thomas Daniel Nehrer

Accomplishes Quotes By Aubrey Malphurs

The coaching process is unique in how it accomplishes leadership development. The coach works not by providing answers per se but by asking questions through which the leader gains new insights and takes new actions. — Aubrey Malphurs

Accomplishes Quotes By Walter Karp

There is nothing puzzling ... about America's gratuitously aggressive foreign policy or about the oligarchs' successful efforts to drag the Republic into five wars. What an aggressive foreign policy accomplishes by slow degrees, a state of war accomplishes in a trice. Overnight [war] kills reform, overnight it transforms insurgents into traitors and the Republic into an imperiled realm. Overnight it strangles free politics, distracts and overawes the citizenry. Overnight it blasts public hope. — Walter Karp

Accomplishes Quotes By Andy Stanley

One never accomplishes the will of God by breaking the law of God, violating the principles of God, or ignoring the wisdom of God. — Andy Stanley

Accomplishes Quotes By David B. Haight

God accomplishes His purposes heart to heart. — David B. Haight

Accomplishes Quotes By Lao-Tzu

An integral being knows without going, sees without looking, and accomplishes without doing. — Lao-Tzu

Accomplishes Quotes By Leonardo Da Vinci

An artist who lacks the power of self-criticism accomplishes but little. It is good if your work stands higher than your own opinion of it; bad if it is on the same level. But it is a great disaster if your work stands lower than your judgment of it. — Leonardo Da Vinci

Accomplishes Quotes By Bauvard

It is remarkably precocious when a person accomplishes anything after the age of thirty. — Bauvard

Accomplishes Quotes By Charles Stanley

Although the church accomplishes many tasks, its only message to the world is the gospel of Christ. Everything else we do is merely an extension of that primary goal. The gospel we offer the lost is superior to every worldly philosophy. Never outdated or in need of correction, it is always sufficient to meet humanity's greatest need: reconciliation with the Creator. — Charles Stanley

Accomplishes Quotes By Beth Moore

Isaiah 40:31: "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint" (KJV). When we wait on God, He gives supernatural strength and accomplishes the inconceivable! — Beth Moore

Accomplishes Quotes By Daniel Taylor

It is simultaneously the blessing and the curse of the reflective Christian that believers are called to live out their faith in the church. No institution has accomplished so much for good in the world; none has fallen so short of its calling! The church is God-ordained, God-inspired, but accomplishes its work through human beings subject to every possible failing. — Daniel Taylor

Accomplishes Quotes By Roland Barthes

The Text is plural. Which is not simply to say that it has several meanings, but that it accomplishes the very plural of meaning: an irreducible (and not merely an acceptable) plural. The Text is not a co-existence of meanings but a passage, an overcrossing; thus it answers not to an interpretation, even a liberal one, but to an explosion, a dissemination. — Roland Barthes

Accomplishes Quotes By Amit Abraham

More important than success is the individual who strives towards his goal. It is the effort which counts. The goal is just a finish line - it accomplishes there and its happiness short lived. — Amit Abraham

Accomplishes Quotes By Jeremiah Jenks

The inlet of a man's mind is what he learns; the outlet is what he accomplishes. If his mind is not fed by a continued supply of new ideas which he puts to work with purpose, and if there is no outlet in action, his mind becomes stagnant. Such a mind is a danger to the individual who owns it and is useless to the community. — Jeremiah Jenks

Accomplishes Quotes By William Blake

I myself do nothing. The Holy Spirit accomplishes all through me. — William Blake

Accomplishes Quotes By George Foster

Worry is common, it's not good for us, it accomplishes little, and it dishonors the God who cares for us. Worry may be our most enduring form of unbelief. — George Foster

Accomplishes Quotes By Richard Rohr

For the man on the quest, the universe becomes enchanting-an effect that good religion accomplishes. There are no dead ends, no wasted time, no useless characters or meaningless happenings. All has meaning, and God is in all things waiting to speak and to bless. Everything belongs once a man is on his real quest and asking the right questions. — Richard Rohr

Accomplishes Quotes By John Muir

By forces seemingly antagonistic and destructive Nature accomplishes her beneficent designs - now a flood of fire, now a flood of ice, now a flood of water; and again in the fullness of time an outburst of organic life ... — John Muir

Accomplishes Quotes By Laozi

The Tao is always at ease. It overcomes without competing, answers without speaking a word, arrives without being summoned, accomplishes without a plan. Its net covers the whole universe. And though its meshes are wide, it doesn't let a thing slip through. — Laozi

Accomplishes Quotes By Watchman Nee

Prayer is work. The experiences of many children of God demonstrate that it accomplishes far more than does any other form of work. It is also warfare, for it is one of the weapons in fighting the enemy. However, only prayer in the spirit is genuinely effectual. — Watchman Nee

Accomplishes Quotes By Charles Fillmore

Every man who accomplishes things sees first in his mind what he wishes to do. He puts away all doubt. It makes no difference how small or how large the thing you want to do may be; if you have an unlimited confidence in your ability to do it, you will do — Charles Fillmore

Accomplishes Quotes By Barton Swaim

What drives him is the thirst for glory; the public good, as he understands it, is a means to that end. So when a great statesman accomplishes a laudable goal by sagacity and bravery, we're right to give him the praise he craves. But when we're surprised and disgusted because the man we lauded has humiliated himself and disgraced his office, we haven't just misjudged a man - we've misjudged the nature of modern politics. — Barton Swaim

Accomplishes Quotes By Jean-Henri Merle D'Aubigne

God accomplishes his designs unknown even to those whom he employs as his instruments. — Jean-Henri Merle D'Aubigne

Accomplishes Quotes By Garth Stein

A great man, Luigi Chinetti. Clever and smart and resourceful. He died in 1994 at the age of ninety-three years. I often wonder who he is now, who possesses his soul. Does a child know his own spiritual background, his own pedigree? I doubt it. But somewhere, a child surprises himself with his endurance, his quick mind, his dextrous hands. Somewhere a child accomplishes with ease that which usually takes great effort. And this child, who has been found to his past but whose heart still beats for the thrill of the race, this child's soul awakens.
And a new champion walks among us. — Garth Stein

Accomplishes Quotes By Emily Maroutian

Nothing is worth the damage of self-abuse. It solves no problem, accomplishes no goal, and helps no one. It has no benefit or productive value. It serves only one purpose: to make you feel bad, which doesn't help you or anyone else. We are more likely to emotionally resign, mentally disengage, or stop trying when we feel bad about ourselves. It does not motivate or inspire us to do better; instead, it disempowers us from moving forward because we stop trusting ourselves to make the right choices. If it can be changed, fixed, or forgiven, then mentally abusing yourself is unnecessary. If it can't be changed, fixed, or forgiven, then mentally abusing yourself is pointless. Offer yourself some compassion as you move through life. Of course you're not going to have all the right answers. That's how we learn. Don't beat yourself up for a very human and very normal process. — Emily Maroutian

Accomplishes Quotes By Alan Moore

War never accomplishes anything. It's never going to look good in the history books. People are never going to look back and think, 'He started a lot of wars; what a great leader he was!' That's not the way it works. God knows how many more of these things we're going to need before it starts to sink in. — Alan Moore

Accomplishes Quotes By Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

From the inaccessible mountains, across the desert which no mortal foot has trod, far as the confines of the unknown ocean, breathes the spirit of the eternal Creator; and every atom to which he has given existence finds favour in his sight. Ah, how often at that time has the flight of a bird, soaring above my head, inspired me with the desire of being transported to the shores of the immeasurable waters, there to quaff the pleasures of life from the foaming goblet of the Infinite, and to partake, if but for a moment even, with the confined powers of my soul, the beatitude of that Creator who accomplishes all things in himself, and through himself! My — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Accomplishes Quotes By Sunday Adelaja

Discouragement leads away from the right path, and accomplishes the devil's desire for destruction — Sunday Adelaja

Accomplishes Quotes By David A. Bednar

Righteousness and faith certainly are instrumental in moving mountains - if moving mountains accomplishes God's purposes and is in accordance with His will. — David A. Bednar

Accomplishes Quotes By David A. Bednar

Becoming people of integrity and honesty does not occur quickly or all at once, nor is it merely a matter of greater personal discipline. It is a change of disposition, a change of heart. And this gradual change of heart is one that the Lord accomplishes within us, through the power of His Spirit, in a line-upon-line fashion. — David A. Bednar

Accomplishes Quotes By Henry Miller

A great work of art, if it accomplishes anything, serves to remind us, or let us say to set us dreaming, of all that is fluid and intangible. — Henry Miller

Accomplishes Quotes By Djuna Barnes

A strong sense of identity gives man an idea he can do no wrong; too little accomplishes the same. — Djuna Barnes

Accomplishes Quotes By Ernest Hello

The man who gives up accomplishes nothing and is only a hindrance. The man who does not give up can move mountains. — Ernest Hello

Accomplishes Quotes By Bruce Bawer

When, over lunch in Philadelphia, I ask the distinguished University of Pennsylvania historian, Alan Charles Kors about Cultural Studies, he shakes his head in dismay. "Cultural Studies," he laments, "is now dominant in all departments of literature and is increasingly big in history, sociology, and cultural anthropology, though less so in political science." His own capsule definition of Cultural Studies? "It sees culture as a means of assigning roles, power, obedience, and resources - and examines the way in which culture accomplishes that. — Bruce Bawer

Accomplishes Quotes By Nicholas D. Kristof

Even in the United States, after all, what brought equal rights to blacks wasn't the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments passed after the Civil War, but rather the grassroots civil rights movement nearly one hundred years later. Laws matter, but typically changing the law by itself accomplishes little. — Nicholas D. Kristof

Accomplishes Quotes By Monique Wittig

A materialist feminist approach to women's oppression destroys the idea that women are a 'natural group' ... What the analysis accomplishes on the level of ideas, practice makes actual at the level of facts: by its very existence, lesbian society destroys the artificial (social) fact constituting women as a 'natural group.' A lesbian society pragmatically reveals that the division from men of which women have been the object is a political one ... — Monique Wittig

Accomplishes Quotes By Calvin Coolidge

Under the attempt to perform the impossible there sets in a general disintegration. When legislation fails, those who look upon it as a sovereign remedy simply cry out for more legislation.
A sound and wise statesmanship which recognizes and attempts to abide by its limitations will undoubtedly find itself displaced by that type of public official who promises much, talks much, legislates much, expends much, but accomplishes little.
The deliberate, sound judgement of the country is likely to find it has been superseded by a popular whim. — Calvin Coolidge

Accomplishes Quotes By Pope Francis

God's word is unpredictable in its power ... The Church has to accept this unruly freedom of the word, which accomplishes what it wills in ways that surpass our calculations and ways of thinking. — Pope Francis

Accomplishes Quotes By Wayne Dyer

The only thing that feeling bad accomplishes is to plummet you into anxiety, despair, depression, and stress. In such situations, ask yourself in that moment what THOUGHT you can have that will make you feel GOOD! — Wayne Dyer

Accomplishes Quotes By Sheldon Richman

We think of prices as simply the notation of how much we must pay for things. But the price system accomplishes far more than that. Hundreds of millions of people buying and selling, and abstaining from buying and selling, generate a system of signals - prices to producers and consumers about relative scarcities and demand. Through this system, consumers can convey to producers their subjective priorities and entrepreneurs can invest accordingly. — Sheldon Richman

Accomplishes Quotes By Gordon B. Hinckley

Somehow forgiveness, with love and tolerance, accomplishes miracles that can happen in no other way. — Gordon B. Hinckley

Accomplishes Quotes By Philip Schaff

Jesus Christ is the beginning, the middle, and the end of all. In the Gospels he walks in human form upon the earth, and accomplishes the work of redemption. — Philip Schaff

Accomplishes Quotes By George Henry Lewes

In urging all writers to be steadfast in reliance on the ultimate victory of excellence, we should no less strenuously urge upon them to beware of the intemperate arrogance which attributes failure to a degraded condition of the public mind. The instinct which leads the world to worship success is not dangerous. The book which succeeds accomplishes its aim. The book which fails may have many excellencies, but they must have been misdirected. — George Henry Lewes

Accomplishes Quotes By L. Ron Hubbard

Because the artist deals in future realities, he always seeks improvements or changes in the existing reality. This makes the artist, inevitably and invariably, a rebel against the status quo. The artist, day by day, by postulating the new realities of the future, accomplishes peaceful revolution. — L. Ron Hubbard

Accomplishes Quotes By Tomas Garrigue Masaryk

We shall always be a small minority in the world, but, when a small nation accomplishes something with its limited means, what it achieves has an immense and exceptional value, like the widow's mite. It is a deliberate and discerning love of a nation that appeals to me, not the indiscriminate love that assumes everything to be right because it bears a national label. Love of one's own nation should not entail non-love of other nations. Institutions by themselves are not enough. — Tomas Garrigue Masaryk

Accomplishes Quotes By Lionel Suggs

Women are creatures that accomplishes staggering tasks. They seek perfection, accommodation, and completion in their tasks. This is why it is valid to put your faith in a woman if you need to get a job done. Vision however, is what they lack. Imagination, is where they are weak. Possibility, is what they attempt to ignore. This is when you get a boy or a man, for they have the power to truly dream. A man understands that you can turn a dream into reality, and that time is a luxury, not an obstacle. — Lionel Suggs

Accomplishes Quotes By Pindar

It is God that accomplishes all term to hopes, God, who overtakes the flying eagle, outpasses the dolphin in the sea; who bends under his strength the man with thoughts too high. — Pindar

Accomplishes Quotes By Baltasar Gracian

The crutch of Time accomplishes more than the club of Hercules. — Baltasar Gracian

Accomplishes Quotes By Elbert Hubbard

No one gets very far unless he accomplishes the impossible at least once a day. — Elbert Hubbard

Accomplishes Quotes By Vance Havner

Satan is not fighting churches; he is joining them. He does more harm by sowing tares than by pulling up wheat. He accomplishes more by imitation than by outright opposition. — Vance Havner

Accomplishes Quotes By D. Williams

The project manager accomplishes this goal through planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling resources to achieve goals. — D. Williams

Accomplishes Quotes By Oswald Chambers

Blessed are the poor in spirit ... " This is the first principle in the kingdom of God. The underlying foundation of Jesus Christ's kingdom is poverty, not possessions; not making decisions for Jesus, but having such a sense of absolute futility that we finally admit, "Lord, I cannot even begin to do it." Then Jesus says, "Blessed are you ... " (5:11). This is the doorway to the kingdom, and yet it takes us so long to believe that we are actually poor! The knowledge of our own poverty is what brings us to the proper place where Jesus Christ accomplishes His work. — Oswald Chambers

Accomplishes Quotes By Gwen Ro

Thinking about working out burns 0 calories, 0 percentage of fat and accomplishes 0 goals! — Gwen Ro

Accomplishes Quotes By Pope Francis

Mary's life shows that God accomplishes great deeds through those who are the most humble. — Pope Francis

Accomplishes Quotes By Dorianne Laux

There's no word for what Young does, only for what he accomplishes-the capturing of small, daily miracles. — Dorianne Laux

Accomplishes Quotes By Orrin Woodward

One person with commitment accomplishes more than a thousand with an opinion. — Orrin Woodward

Accomplishes Quotes By Dale Carnegie

Be a balanced optimist. Nobody is suggesting that you become an oblivious Pollyanna, pretending that nothing bad can or ever will happen. Doing so can lead to poor decisions and invites people to take advantage of you. Instead, be a rational optimist who takes the good with the bad, in hopes of the good ultimately outweighing the bad, and with the understanding that being pessimistic about everything accomplishes nothing. Prepare for the worst but hope for the best - the former makes you sensible, and the latter makes you an optimist. — Dale Carnegie

Accomplishes Quotes By Michio Kaku

One consequence of this formulation is that a physical principle that unites many smaller physical theories must autoomatically unite many seemingly unrelated branches of mathematics. This is precisely what string theory accomplishes. In fact, of all physical theories, string theory unites by far the largest number of branches of mathematics into a single coherent picture. Perhaps one of the by-products of the physicists' quest for unification will be the unification of mathematics as well. — Michio Kaku

Accomplishes Quotes By Charles R. Swindoll

The more impossible the situation, the greater God accomplishes His work. — Charles R. Swindoll

Accomplishes Quotes By Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Be as delicate as possible. If communication accomplishes something on the gross but damages something on the level of feeling then it is a spiritual loss! The feeling is more important for life. — Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Accomplishes Quotes By Ann Spangler

But it is heartening to realize that God accomplishes his purposes despite our frailties, our little faith, our entrenched self-reliance. — Ann Spangler

Accomplishes Quotes By Concepcion Cabrera De Armida

Some souls think that the Holy Spirit is very far away, far, far, up above. Actually he is, we might say, the divine Person who is most closely present to the creature. He accompanies him everywhere. He penetrates him with himself. He calls him, he protects him. He makes of him his living temple. He defends him. He helps him. He guards him from all his enemies. He is closer to him than his own soul. All the good a soul accomplishes, it carries out under his inspiration, in his light, by his grace and his help. — Concepcion Cabrera De Armida

Accomplishes Quotes By Laozi

The master accomplishes more and more by doing less and less until finally he accomplishes everything by doing nothing. — Laozi

Accomplishes Quotes By Laozi

The sage acts without taking credit. He accomplishes without dwelling on it. He does not want to display his worth. — Laozi

Accomplishes Quotes By Ken Sande

It is easier to accept your limits if you have a biblical view of success. The world defines success in terms of what a person possesses, controls, or accomplishes. God defines success in terms of faithful obedience to his will. The world asks, 'What results have your achieved?' God asks, 'Were you faithful to my ways? — Ken Sande

Accomplishes Quotes By Barbra Streisand

A man who graduated high in his class at Yale Law School and made partnership in a top law firm would be celebrated. A man who invested wisely would be admired, but a woman who accomplishes this is treated with suspicion. — Barbra Streisand

Accomplishes Quotes By Derrick Jensen

Sometimes people say to me they're against all forms of violence. A few weeks ago, I got a call from a pacifist activist who said, "Violence never accomplishes anything, and besides, it's really stupid." I asked, "What types of violence are you against?" "All types." "How do you eat? And do you defecate? From the perspective of carrots and intestinal flora, respectively, those actions are very violent." "Don't be absurd," he said. "You know what I mean." Actually I didn't. The definitions of violence we normally use are impossibly squishy, especially for such an emotionally laden, morally charged, existentially vital, and politically important word. This squishiness makes our discourse surrounding violence even more meaningless than it would otherwise be, which is saying a lot. — Derrick Jensen

Accomplishes Quotes By Robert McKee

Talent without craft is like fuel without an engine, it burns wildly but accomplishes nothing. — Robert McKee

Accomplishes Quotes By Donald Barthelme

Hubert complains that the electric wastebasket has been overheating. I haven't noticed it but that's what Hubert says and Hubert is rarely wrong about things that don't matter. The electric wastebasket is a security item. Papers dropped into it are destroyed instantly. How the electric wastebasket accomplishes this is not known. An intimidation followed by a demoralization eventuating in a disintegration, one assumes. It is not emptied. There are not even ashes. — Donald Barthelme

Accomplishes Quotes By Gordon B. Hinckley

With small means the Lord accomplishes His marvelous work. — Gordon B. Hinckley

Accomplishes Quotes By Robert H. Goddard

Every vision is a joke until the first man accomplishes it; once realized, it becomes commonplace. — Robert H. Goddard

Accomplishes Quotes By Howard W. Hunter

Those who delve into the scriptural library ... find that to understand requires more than casual reading or perusal - there must be concentrated study. ... One who studies the scriptures every day accomplishes far more than one who devotes considerable time one day and then lets days go by before continuing. — Howard W. Hunter

Accomplishes Quotes By John Henry Jowett

Ministry that costs nothing, accomplishes nothing. — John Henry Jowett

Accomplishes Quotes By Jay Leno

President Bush has unveiled his first campaign commercial, highlighting all of his accomplishes in office. That's why it's a 60-second spot. — Jay Leno

Accomplishes Quotes By Jules Michelet

Fear accomplishes much in love. The husband of the Middle Ages was loved by his wife for his very severity. The bride of William the Conqueror, having been beaten by him, recognized him by this token for her lord and husband — Jules Michelet

Accomplishes Quotes By Laozi

The best form of leadership is to be conscious of the leadership potential with the followers and to let them unleash this potential in a spontaneous way. When a great leader accomplishes this task with effortless ease, the followers say, "We did it ourselves." — Laozi

Accomplishes Quotes By Brent R

Having a good belief system in yourself is so important for success and can help you in many ways. First thing a belief system accomplishes is that it builds your self-esteem. Knowledge — Brent R

Accomplishes Quotes By Colin Powell

Fit no stereotypes. Don't chase the latest management fads. The situation dictates which approach best accomplishes the team's mission. — Colin Powell

Accomplishes Quotes By Cassandra Clare

The only alternative seems to be doing nothing ... and doing nothing, I find, rarely accomplishes anything — Cassandra Clare

Accomplishes Quotes By Benjamin Hoff

Within each of us there is an Owl, a Rabbit, an Eeyore, and a Pooh. For too long, we have chosen the way of Owl and Rabbit. Now, like Eeyore, we complain about the results. But that accomplishes nothing. If we are smart, we will choose the way of Pooh. As if from far away, it calls to us with the voice of a child's mind. It may be hard to hear at times, but it is important just the same, because without it, we will never find our way through the forest. — Benjamin Hoff

Accomplishes Quotes By Kenny Smith

Those who have chosen the path of least resistance in life, who cannot bear to bring themselves to make a stern value-judgment in criticism of their own most intimate feelings, achieve what they deserve: not self-understanding but radical self-superficialization, not a discovered but a self-ascribed identity that explains nothing, reveals nothing, means nothing, and ultimately accomplishes nothing culturally or intellectually. — Kenny Smith

Accomplishes Quotes By H.L. Mencken

Monogamy, in brief, kills passion
and passion is the most dangerous of all the surviving enemies to what we call civilization, which is based upon order, decorum, restraint, formality, industry, regimentation. The civilized man
the ideal civilized man
is simply one who never sacrifices the common security to his private passions. He reaches perfection when he even ceases to love passionately
when he reduces the most profound of all his instinctive experiences from the level of an ecstasy to the level of a mere device for replenishing the armies and workshops of the world, keeping clothes in repair, reducing the infant death-rate, providing enough tenants for every landlord, and making it possible for the Polizei to know where every citizen is at any hour of the day or night. Monogamy accomplishes this, not by producing satiety, but by destroying appetite. It makes passion formal and uninspiring, and so gradually kills it. — H.L. Mencken

Accomplishes Quotes By Ramana Maharshi

Place your burden at the feet of the Lord of the universe who is ever victorious and accomplishes everything. Remain all the time steadfast in the heart, in the Transcendental Absolute. God knows the past, present and future. He will determine the future for you and accomplish the work. What is to be done will be done at the proper time. Don't worry. Abide in the heart and surrender your acts to the Divine. — Ramana Maharshi

Accomplishes Quotes By Mark Noll

An important contribution to a much-neglected but very important subject. No other author has set out to do what Davenport accomplishes, which is a systematic study of how key representatives of America's rising tide of religion attempted a theoretical understanding of, and practical response to, America's rising tide of commerce. — Mark Noll

Accomplishes Quotes By Leonard Sax

Manhood isn't something that simply happens to boys as they get older. It's an achievement - something a boy accomplishes, something that can easily go awry. If we ignore the importance of this transition, and fail in our duty as parents to guide boys through it, then we will learn the hard way why traditional cultures invest this transition with so much importance. — Leonard Sax

Accomplishes Quotes By A. Lee Martinez

To worry is to acknowledge that the world is unpredictable, and there is power in understanding one's own powerlessness at times. But too often worry takes on life of its own. Men are quite prone to this. They'll plague themselves with so many 'what if's and 'if only's that they soon forget to ponder the true possibilities before them. Which inevitably lead to poor decisions. Whatever happens will happen. Sometimes we have say over the future. Sometimes we don't. Either way, worrying alone never accomplishes anything. — A. Lee Martinez

Accomplishes Quotes By Vince Lombardi

To be successful, a man must exert an effective influence upon his brothers and upon his associates, and the degree in which he accomplishes this depends on the personality of the man. The incandescence of which he is capable. The flame of fire that burns inside of him. The magnetism which draws the heart of other men to him. — Vince Lombardi

Accomplishes Quotes By George Gilder

This is what sexual liberation chiefly accomplishes - it liberates young women to pursue married men. — George Gilder

Accomplishes Quotes By Nancy Isenberg

If this book accomplishes anything it will be to have exposed a number of myths about the American dream, to have disabused readers of the notion that upward mobility is a function of the founders' ingenious plan, or that Jacksonian democracy was liberating, or that the Confederacy was about states' rights rather than preserving class and racial distinctions. — Nancy Isenberg

Accomplishes Quotes By Ambrose Bierce

A cheap and easy cynicism rails at everything. The master of the art accomplishes the formidable task of discrimination. — Ambrose Bierce

Accomplishes Quotes By Ralph Waldo Emerson

I would have the studies elective. Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge. The wise instructor accomplishes this by opening to his pupils precisely the attractions the study has for himself. The marking is a system for schools, not for the college; for boys, not for men; and it is an ungracious work to put on a professor. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
