While I was not consulted prior to the President's decision to intervene in support of the Republic of Korea, that decision from a military standpoint, proved a sound one, as we hurled back the invader and decimated his forces. Our victory was complete, and our objectives within reach, when Red China intervened with numerically superior ground forces. (Douglas MacArthur)
I believe that you can reach the point where there is no longer any difference between developing the habit of pretending to believe and developing the habit of believing. View quote
Umberto Eco
Growing terrorism, permissive societies, democracy collapsing through lack of law and order. If things continue on their present track, the disintegration of Western societies will occur much sooner than you think under the hammer blows of fascism and communism. Freedom is not something that does not have a breaking point, and your enemies would like you to reach that point. View quote
Muhammad Reza Pahlavi
Reason is our soul's left hand, Faith her right, By these we reach divinity. View quote
John Donne
That subtle knot which makes us man: So must pure lovers' souls descend T' affections, and to faculties, Which sense may reach and apprehend, Else a great Prince in prison lies. View quote
John Donne
Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; but if a thing is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach. View quote
Marcus Aurelius
I am never in a hurry to reach details. First and above all I am interested in the large masses and the general character of a picture; when these are well established, then I try for subtleties of form and color. I rework the painting constantly and freely, and without any systematic method. View quote
Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot
My own experience is use the tools that are out there. Use the digital world. But never lose sight of the need to reach out and talk to other people who don't share your view. Listen to them and see if you can find a way to compromise. View quote
Colin Powell
There are depths in man that go to the lowest hell, and heights that reach the highest heaven, for are not both heaven and hell made out of him, everlasting miracle and mystery that he is. View quote
Thomas Carlyle
A person in a rented apartment must be able to lean out of his window and scrape off the masonry within arm's reach. And he must be allowed to take a long brush and paint everything outside within arm's reach. So that it will be visible from afar to everyone in the street that someone lives there who is different from the imprisoned, enslaved, standardised man who lives next door. View quote
Friedensreich Hundertwasser
The striving for significance, this sense of yearning, always points out to us that all psychological phenomena contain a movement that starts from a feeling of inferiority and reach upward. The theory of Individual Psychology of psychological compensation states that the stronger the feeling of inferiority, the higher the goal for personal power. (Alfred Adler)
Redeemers always reach the world too late. God dies, we live; God lives, we die. Our fate. View quote
Peter Porter (poet)
The whole Renaissance tradition is antipathic to me. The hard-and-fast rules of perspective which it succeeded in imposing on art were a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress; Cézanne and after him Picasso and myself can take a lot of credit for this.... scientific perspective forces the objects in a picture to disappear away from the beholder instead of bringing them within his reach as painting should. View quote
Georges Braque
Lord, my body has been a good friend But I won't need it when I reach the end Miles from nowhere, Guess I'll take my time Oh yeah, to reach there. View quote
Cat Stevens
When there is a big tree small ones climb on its back to reach the sun. View quote
Chinua Achebe
Where cultural representations do not reach out beyond themselves, there is the danger that they will function as the surrogates for activism, that they will constitute both the beginning and the end of political practice. View quote
Angela Davis
Musick resembles Poetry, in each Are nameless Graces which no Methods teach, And which a Master-Hand alone can reach. View quote
Alexander Pope
The road ahead of you is long, dark, and, I very much fear, bloodstained. I also very much fear that you will take us all down that road. But you must live to reach the end of it. View quote
Robert Jordan
A slow horse does not always reach the end of the journey. View quote
Robert Jordan
In the technotronic society the trend would seem to be towards the aggregation of the individual support of millions of uncoordinated citizens, easily within the reach of magnetic and attractive personalities effectively exploiting the latest communications techniques to manipulate emotions and control reason. View quote
Zbigniew Brzezinski
In science men have learned consciously to subordinate themselves to a common purpose without losing the individuality of their achievements. Each one knows that his work depends on that of his predecessors and colleagues, and that it can only reach its fruition through the work of his successors. In science men collaborate not because they are forced to by superior authority or because they blindly follow some chosen leader, but because they realize that only in this willing collaboration can each man find his goal. (John Desmond Bernal)
Artists are mystics rather than rationalists. They leap to conclusions that logic cannot reach. View quote
Sol LeWitt
Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had. View quote
Michael Crichton
Once you realize that the road is the goal and that you are always on the road, not to reach a goal, but to enjoy its beauty and its wisdom, life ceases to be a task and becomes natural and simple, in itself an ecstasy. View quote
Nisargadatta Maharaj
The primary purpose of meditation is to become conscious of, and familiar with, our inner life. The ultimate purpose is to reach the source of life and consciousness. View quote
