Attach Quotes

People's hearts are like wild animals. They attach their selves to those that love and train them. (Ali)

As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed.

James Madison
I once spoke to a human geneticist who declared that the notion of intelligence was quite meaningless, so I tried calling him unintelligent.

You see, it's never the environment; it's never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events - how we interpret them - that shapes who we are today and who we'll become tomorrow. View quote
Anthony Robbins
Nothing is more stimulating and more salutary to (or for) the inner (or inward) development than the exemple of men devoted to the good.

View quote
African Spir

Bhakti Tirtha Swami

All descriptions of reality are limited expressions of the world of emptiness. Yet we attach to the descriptions and think they are reality. That is a mistake. View quote

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
The people who run the international tests told us, "the biggest predictor of student success is choice." Nations that "attach the money to the kids" and thereby allow parents to choose between different public and private schools have higher test scores. This should be no surprise; competition makes us better. View quote
John Stossel

Ludwig Wittgenstein
