Done Quotes - page 87

The reason why so little is done, is generally because so little is attempted. (Samuel Smiles)
The work of many of the greatest men, inspired by duty, has been done amidst suffering and trial and difficulty. They have struggled against the tide, and reached the shore exhausted. View quote
Samuel Smiles
Someday I will understand In God's whole plan And what He's done to me Oh, but maybe Someday I will breathe And I'll finally see I'll see it all in my baby. View quote

Kylie Minogue
In the last camp they all ate grass, until the authorities forbade them to pull it up. They were accustomed to having the fruits of their little communal gardens stolen by the guards, after they had done all the work; but at the last camp everything was stolen. View quote
Martha Gellhorn
Once a thing's been done it's been done, so while this nostalgia - I mean for the '60s and '70s, you know, looking backwards for inspiration, copying the past - how's that rock 'n' roll? Do something of your own. Start something new, you know? Live your lives now. Know what I mean? View quote
John Lennon
It is only Jesus Christ who has thrown light on life and immortality through the gospel; and because He has done so, and has enabled us by His atoning death and intercession to make the most of this discovery, His gospel is, for all who will, a power of God unto salvation. View quote
Henry Liddon
It's not until I hear songs that I've done, that I realize how much of an inspiration music from the '60s and '70s has been. View quote
Alicia Keys
If they had told me I was the janitor and would have to mop up and clean the toilets after the show in order to play, I probably would have done it. View quote
Bruce Springsteen
I can't say that I'm sorry for the things that we done; At least for a little while sir me and her we had us some fun. (Bruce Springsteen)
This is the great day. This is the greatest event in all the history of the human race, up to this time. That is - today is New Year's Day of the Year One. If we don't change the calendar, historians will do so. The human race - this is our change, our puberty rite, bar mitzvah, confirmation, from the change of our infancy into adulthood for the human race. And we're going to go on out, not only to the Moon, to the stars; we're going to spread. I don't know that the United States is going to do it; I hope so. I have - I'm an American myself; I want it to be done by us. But in any case, the human race is going to do it, it's utterly inevitable: we're going to spread through the entire universe. View quote
Robert A. Heinlein
Everything is theoretically impossible, until it's done. One could write a history of science in reverse by assembling the solemn pronouncements of highest authority about what could not be done and could never happen. View quote
Robert A. Heinlein
Since when did a mathematician need any tools but his own head? Pythagoras had done well enough with a stick and a stretch of sand. View quote
Robert A. Heinlein
Never Do Yesterday What Should Be Done Tomorrow. View quote
Robert A. Heinlein
Oh, we get along. She lets me have my own way, and later I find out I've done just what she wanted me to do. View quote
Robert A. Heinlein
When I was a young student, I thought modern psychology could tell me the answers, but I soon found out that the best psychologists didn't know a damn thing about the real core of the matter. Oh, I am not disparaging the work that has been done; it was badly needed and had been very useful in its way. None of 'em know what life is, what thought is, whether free will is a reality or an illusion, or whether that last question means anything. The best of 'em admit their ignorance; the worst of them make dogmatic assertions that are obvious absurdities. View quote

The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done. View quote
Jean Piaget
Thus we see that the child is almost led to tell lies - or what seem to us lies from our point of view - by the very structure of his spontaneous thought. Given this situation, what will be the result of the laws laid down by adults about truthfulness? On the occasion of the first very obvious lies, or of those connected with some offense or other and told therefore with the object of averting punishment or scolding, the parents point out to the child that he has just done something very wrong and thus inculcate in him the respect for truth.

Jean Piaget
My own prejudices are exactly the opposite of the functionalists': "If you want to understand function, study structure,” I was supposed to have said in my molecular biology days. (I believe I was sailing at the time.) I think that one should approach these problems at all levels, as was done in molecular biology. Classical genetics is, after all, a black-box subject. The important thing was to combine it with biochemistry. In nature hybrid species are usually sterile, but in science the reverse is often true. Hybrid subjects are often astonishingly fertile, whereas if a scientific discipline remains too pure it usually wilts. (Francis Crick)
"No man is an island - " Much as we may feel and act as Individuals, our race is -a single organism, always growing and branching -which must be pruned regularly to be healthy. This necessity need not be argued; anyone with eyes can see that any organism which grows without limit always dies in its own poisons. The only rational question is whether pruning is best done before or after birth. Being an incurable sentimentalist I favor the former of these methods -killing makes me queasy, even when it's a case of "He's dead and I'm alive and that's the way I wanted it to be." But this may be a matter of taste. Some shamans think that it is better to be killed in a war, or to die in childbirth, or to starve in misery, than never to have lived at all. They may be right. But I don't have to like it -and I don't. View quote
Robert A. Heinlein
Moreover, if we believe, as I do, that God's grace is extended to those who die in infancy or as small children, the death of these children was actually their salvation. We are so wedded to an earthly, naturalistic perspective that we forget that those who die are happy to quit this earth for heaven's incomparable joy. Therefore, God does these children no wrong in taking their lives. So whom does God wrong in commanding the destruction of the Canaanites? Not the Canaanite adults, for they were corrupt and deserving of judgment. Not the children, for they inherit eternal life. So who is wronged? Ironically, I think the most difficult part of this whole debate is the apparent wrong done to the Israeli soldiers themselves. Can you imagine what it would be like to have to break into some house and kill a terrified woman and her children? The brutalising effect on these Israeli soldiers is disturbing. View quote
William Lane Craig
Mr. Wilkins came back and hemmed and hawed a good deal; he praised the work she hadn't considered well done, and pointed out faults in what she considered particularly clever achievements. View quote
Sinclair Lewis
I went to a denominational college and learned that since dictating the Bible, and hiring a perfect race of ministers to explain it, God has never done much but creep around and try to catch us disobeying it. View quote
