It may happen sometimes that a long debate becomes the cause of a longer friendship. Commonly, those who dispute with one another at last agree.
Elbert HubbardAlways make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite – inspire fear and insecurity.
Robert GreeneIf you go back a few hundred years, what we take for granted today would seem like magic – being able to talk to people over long distances, to transmit images, flying, accessing vast amounts of data like an oracle. These are all things that would have been considered magic a few hundred years ago.
Elon MuskWhen people need love and understanding and support the most is when they deserve it the least.
Lou HoltzI prefer tongue-tied knowledge to ignorant loquacity.
Marcus Tullius CiceroI don’t know what’s the matter with people: they don’t learn by understanding; they learn by some other way – by rote, or something. Their knowledge is so fragile!
Richard P. FeynmanI have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them.
Baruch SpinozaI’ll be glad to reply to or dodge your questions, depending on what I think will help our election most.
George H. W. BushEach day we understand better what the Indians say, and they us, so that very often we are intelligible to each other.
Christopher ColumbusWar is what happens when language fails.
Margaret AtwoodI never learn anything talking. I only learn things when I ask questions.
Lou HoltzI am a good listener. I think that came from my schooling.
Clint EastwoodThe components of anxiety, stress, fear, and anger do not exist independently of you in the world. They simply do not exist in the physical world, even though we talk about them as if they do.
Wayne DyerThe word ‚good‘ has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.
Gilbert K. ChestertonBefore I speak, I have something important to say.
Groucho MarxI know what I do for my team and what my teammates expect of me on both ends of the floor.
Stephen CurryWe should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.
Carl JungWhat people see on court is another side of me; it’s not me.
Kobe BryantFacebook and Instagram are both really popular with teens, both in the U.S. and globally across the world. I think what you’re starting to see is that there are all these different ways that people want to share and communicate.
Mark ZuckerbergThe distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
Albert EinsteinFacts do not speak for themselves. They speak for or against competing theories. Facts divorced from theories or visions are mere isolated curiosities.
Thomas SowellVanity is but the surface.
Blaise PascalThe truth may be out there, but lies are inside your head.
Terry PratchettIf somebody thinks they’re a hedgehog, presumably you just give ‚em a mirror and a few pictures of hedgehogs and tell them to sort it out for themselves.
Douglas AdamsThere are no moral phenomena at all, but only a moral interpretation of phenomena.
Friedrich NietzscheThe design of the Mac wasn’t what it looked like, although that was part of it. Primarily, it was how it worked. To design something really well, you have to get it. You have to really grok what it’s all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something, chew it up, not just quickly swallow it.
Steve JobsYou can’t be in politics unless you can walk in a room and know in a minute who’s for you and who’s against you.
Samuel JohnsonWell I have a microphone and you don’t so you will listen to every damn word I have to say!
Adam SandlerHe who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.
Elbert HubbardWhat the mind doesn’t understand, it worships or fears.
Alice WalkerUnderstand: any phenomenon in the world is by nature complex. The people you deal with are equally complex. Any action sets off a limitless chain of reactions. It is never so simple as A leads to B. B will lead to C, D and beyond.
Robert GreeneI don’t mind how much my Ministers talk, so long as they do what I say.
Margaret ThatcherThe little man is still a man.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheThose who have a true understanding of America know that we have no desire for territorial expansion, for economic or other domination of other peoples. Such purposes are repugnant to our ideals of human freedom.
Herbert HooverHistory is written by the victors.
Winston ChurchillAs a blind man has no idea of colors, so have we no idea of the manner by which the all-wise God perceives and understands all things.
Isaac NewtonI think that man has a fundamental obligation to extract from himself and from the earth all that it can give; and this obligation is all the more imperative that we are absolutely ignorant of what limits – they may still be very distant – God has imposed on our natural understanding and power.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinSilence is more eloquent than words.
Thomas CarlyleReality leaves a lot to the imagination.
John LennonSilence speaks so much louder than screaming tantrums. Never give anyone an excuse to say that you’re crazy.
Taylor SwiftI just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we’re really talking about peace.
George W. BushTell them to send everything that can fly.
Richard M. NixonWhat is history but a fable agreed upon?
Napoleon BonaparteSpeak low, if you speak love.
William ShakespeareI have learned from personal experience that putting trust in God means there will be some unanswered questions. That was a hard lesson for me because I naturally want to understand everything… to know what’s going on so I can feel like I’m in control.
Joyce MeyerFor an author to write as he speaks is just as reprehensible as the opposite fault, to speak as he writes; for this gives a pedantic effect to what he says, and at the same time makes him hardly intelligible.
Arthur SchopenhauerMen are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them.
EpictetusThe common thread for everything I do is this idea of a Web-services architecture. What does that mean? It means taking components of software and systems and having them be self-describing, so that you can aim them, ask them what their capabilities are, and communicate with them using a standard protocol.
Bill GatesPeople do dismiss ambient music, don’t they? They call it ‚easy listening,‘ as if to suggest that it should be hard to listen to.
Brian EnoPeople only see what they are prepared to see.
Ralph Waldo EmersonHere in the West, people often don’t like listening to their leaders, even if they are right.
Elon MuskI meant what I said and I said what I meant.
Dr. SeussBrevity and conciseness are the parents of correction.
Hosea BallouFrank and explicit – that is the right line to take when you wish to conceal your own mind and confuse the minds of others.
Benjamin DisraeliWhen I listen to a song, I don’t say, ‚Oh my gosh, that vocal line she sang was the best thing I ever heard.‘ I’m thinking, ‚That lyric just moves me. That lyric just said what I feel better than I could say it myself.‘
Taylor SwiftI don’t like talking to celebrities.
Lady GagaSometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.
Dalai LamaA better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding.
Douglas MacArthurLight thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.
Terry PratchettA minute of thought is greater than an hour of talk.
John C. Maxwell
