| Quote:Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored.[Abraham Lincoln] Quote:I don't know what the new Ford will be called. Probably something like the 'Ford Untamed Wilderness Adventure.' In the TV commercials, it will be shown splashing through rivers, charging up rocky mountainsides, swinging on vines, diving off cliffs, racing through the surf, and fighting giant sharks hundreds of feet beneath the ocean surface -- all the daredevil things that cars do in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, where nobody ever drives on an actual world. In fact, the interstate highways in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, having been abandoned by humans, are teeming with deer, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife species that have fled from the forests to avoid being run over by nature-seekers in multi-ton vehicles barreling through the underbrush at 50 miles per hour.[Dave Barry] Quote:To know the pains of power, we must go to those who have it; to know its pleasures, we must go to those who are seeking it.[Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:As soon as beauty is sought not from religion and love, but for pleasure, it degrades the seeker.[Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Religion operates not only on the vertical plane but also on the horizontal. It seeks not only to integrate men with God but to integrate men with men and each man with himself.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily.[George Washington] Quote:Those who forget good and evil and seek only to know the facts are more likely to achieve good than those who view the world through the distorting medium of their own desires.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:Men rise from one ambition to another. First they seek to secure themselves from attack, and then they attack others.[Nicolo Machiavelli] Quote:The writer?s job is not to judge, but to seek to understand.[Ernest Hemingway] Quote:I worship God as Truth only. I have not yet found Him, but I am seeking after Him. I am prepared to sacrifice the things dearest to me in pursuit of this quest. Even if the sacrifice demanded my very life, I hope I may be prepared to give it.[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:The real distinction is between those who adapt their purposes to reality and those who seek to mold reality in the light of their purposes. [Henry Kissinger] Quote:Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it. [Andre Gide] Quote:Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win. [Sun-tzu] Quote:Convinced myself, I seek not to convince. [Edgar Allan Poe] Quote:To know the pains of power, we must go to those who have it; to know its pleasures, we must go to those who are seeking it. [Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad. I seek to preserve property and to respect order, and I equally decry the appeal to the passions of the many of the prejudices of the few. [Benjamin Disraeli] Quote:I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad. I seek to preserve property and to respect order, and I equally decry the appeal to the passions of the many of the prejudices of the few. [Benjamin Disraeli] Quote:Passive acceptance of the teacher's wisdom is easy to most boys and girls. It involves no effort of independent thought, and seems rational because the teacher knows more than his pupils; it is moreover the way to win the favour of the teacher unless he is a very exceptional man. Yet the habit of passive acceptance is a disastrous one in later life. It causes man to seek and to accept a leader, and to accept as a leader whoever is established in that position. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things. [Rene Descartes] Quote:Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything. [Eugene Delacroix] Definitions of: seekDefinition: Sick.Definition: To make search or inquiry; to endeavor to make discovery. |
