Avoid Quotes

Keep a sharp lookout upon your materials; get rid of every pound of material you can do without; put to yourself the question what business has it to be there?, avoid complexities, and make everything as simple as possible Picture Quote #1

After announcing that the 2000 season would be his last before retirement: Last winter I made the decision to coach for only one more season. I have been wrestling with the timing of announcing that decision. After seeing the outstanding attitude and work ethic of this team, I came to the conclusion that it’s best to get the announcement out of the way now so we can focus on the season and avoid the repeated distractions that come from questions about my retirement Picture Quote #1

One ought to avoid all unnecessary worry and exciting thoughts, and to cultivate a firm tranquility of mind. Melancholy reflections will in no way influence fate, whereas one may weaken the constitution by the waste of energy while indulging in them Picture Quote #1

In short: if one has nothing of value to say, only that which is impure defilement, avoid them. They are masters of the dark. Of no use Picture Quote #1

I may say that here, as in most cases where the operations of nature interfere with the designs of man, it is not by a direct intervention on our part that we may remedy the difficulties, but rather by a precise knowledge of their causes, which may enable us, if not to check, at least to avoid the evil consequences Picture Quote #1

If, on the other hand, we wish to describe a particular phenomenon without repressing our direct experience, then we cannot avoid speaking of the phenomenon as an active, animate entity with which we find ourselves engaged. To the sensing body, no thing presents itself as utterly passive or inert. Only by affirming the animateness of perceived things do we allow our words to emerge directly from the depths of our ongoing reciprocity with the world Picture Quote #1

Then I felt that every inflection of my voice, every word in my mouth, was a lie, a play whose sole purpose was to cover emptiness and boredom. There was only one way I could avoid a state of despair and a breakdown. To be silent. And to reach behind the silence for clarity or at least try to collect the resources that might still be available to me Picture Quote #1

There are two extremes to avoid: being completely absorbed in your pain and being distracted by so many things that you stay far away from the wound you want to heal Picture Quote #1

If you choose not to act, you have little chance of success. What’s more, when you choose to act, you’re able to succeed more frequently than you think. How often in life do we avoid doing something because we think we’ll fail? Is failure really worse than doing nothing? And how often might we actually have triumphed if we had just decided to give it a try? Picture Quote #1

As you craft a plan to expand to adjacent markets, don’t disrupt: Avoid competition as much as possible Picture Quote #1

Most artists try to avoid cliches, but it’s pretty hard to avoid them if you yourself end up being one Picture Quote #1

It is an error common to many artists, who strive merely to avoid mistakes, when all our efforts should be to create positive and important work. Better positive and important with mistakes and failures than perfect mediocrity Picture Quote #1

Those who hope to avoid all failure and misfortune are trying to live in a fairyland; wise people realistically accept failures as a part of life and build philosophies to meet them and make the best of them Picture Quote #1

The copyright industry has managed to kill civil liberties for their own children, ushering in a dystopian surveillance machine, merely to avoid taking responsibility for their own business failures. I lack words to quantify my contempt for these utter parasites Picture Quote #1

I was taught to confront things you can’t avoid. Death is one of those things. To live in a society where you’re trying not to look at it is stupid because looking at death throws us back into life with more vigour and energy. The fact that flowers don’t last for ever makes them beautiful Picture Quote #1

We’ve all got an identity. You can’t avoid it. It’s what’s left when you take everything else away Picture Quote #1

Influence is a very tenuous matter. I try to avoid it in every respect. I don’t want to be influenced by anybody Picture Quote #1

When a child encounters something he or she does not want, that child has all kinds of maneuvers to avoid it, such as crying, hiding, or fighting... Unless we are taught to face our problems directly and work through them, the pattern of avoidance will be repeated; it can be a natural, accepted way to act Picture Quote #1

By operating independently of government aid, the churches... avoid the resentment of those who do not want to be forced to contribute to churches to which they do not belong and of their own members who do not welcome being forced to contribute through government taxation Picture Quote #1

As a rule, anything that is pretty you avoid when on an expedition in the polar extremes. Normally anything other than white means a hazard such as a crevasse Picture Quote #1

History serves as a model not only of who and what we are to be, we learn what to champion and what to avoid Picture Quote #1

We tend to run our whole life trying to avoid all that hurts or displeases us, noticing the objects, people, or situations that we think will give us pain or pleasure, avoiding one and pursuing the other Picture Quote #1

Good access to a doctor and a drugstore when you first have a problem can avoid a lot of cost and heartache later Picture Quote #1

I don’t read reviews and I don’t know what to do with opinions, so I just lose them. They take up space, they become a process of manufacturing a persona, which I want to avoid Picture Quote #1

I try to avoid saying anything positive about any presidential candidate for fear that if I actually like them then I will kill their campaign Picture Quote #1

I’m a little bit superstitious, and I think that just comes from playing hockey. I won’t avoid the number thirteen. A big one for me, though, is walking under a ladder. I’ve always felt like that’s tempting fate. That’s just throwing it right in their face. Check me out. I just walked under a ladder. What are you going to do about it? Picture Quote #1

I hate horror movies! I avoid them like the plague. I don’t like getting scared Picture Quote #1

I’m uneasy with fame so I do my best to avoid places that will bring me more attention Picture Quote #1

You guard your hopes and pocket your dreams, you’d trade it all to avoid an unpleasant scene Picture Quote #1

The statistician cannot excuse himself from the duty of getting his head clear on the principles of scientific inference, but equally no other thinking man can avoid a like obligation Picture Quote #1
