Decent Quotes

Let me tell you humans something. You are not fighters. You don’t have what it takes to actually change your current living situations. You can’t even organize a decent group to combat oppression. How can beings of such low stature hope to do anything? You are not heroes. Stop pretending you are helping by playing commando and get out of the way of someone who can Picture Quote #1

Anticlimax is, of course, the warp and way of things. Real life seldom structures a decent denouement Picture Quote #1

Embrace opportunities with limited downside, unlimited upside. The best deals are those where your risk of loss is predictable and fixed if things go wrong, while your potential gains are enormous if things go right. Take such deals whenever you can get them if the odds of success are halfway decent Picture Quote #1

I’ve had some decent wins this year against higher ranked players but what I’ve failed to do is to build on those Picture Quote #1

Often you will find the opposite situation. The author seems to have interesting ideas, but he is not able to illustrate them with decent examples. If a grandmaster is commenting on one of his own games, then there is usually not any problem: his general thoughts are closely tied up with what is happening on the board. But as soon as he starts writing an article or book on a different theme the difficulties begin, as he may not have suitable material to hand Picture Quote #1

A struggle for existence is not a decent living. A man or woman or child may die of starvation in a city teeming with plenty. Only human life is concerned Picture Quote #1

Any decent society has to be built on trust and love and the intelligent use of information and feelings. Education involves being able to practice those things as you struggle to build a decent society that can be nonviolent Picture Quote #1

There is a kind of virtue that lies not in extraordinary actions, not in saving poor orphans from burning buildings, but in steadfastly working for a world where orphans are not poor and buildings comply with decent fire codes Picture Quote #1

Education is about inviting every single person who enters a school to realize his or her relatively boundless potential in all areas of worthwhile human endeavor. It is concerned with more than grades, attendance, and academic achievement. It is concerned with the process of becoming a decent and productive human being Picture Quote #1

Write about the thing that scares you most or your most private confession and you’ll never have a problem coming up with decent fiction Picture Quote #1

I have always derived indescribable pleasure from leading a decent woman to the edge of sin and leaving her there to live between the temptation and the fear of that sin Picture Quote #1

I wanted to get the fastest time in the world this year, but with everything going on, it’s a pretty decent swim,... I knew I was under world record pace. You could tell by the crowd. You can always tell at these meets when something good is going on because of the crowd Picture Quote #1

Be kind, be decent, be generous, be tolerant, compassionate, and understanding. Be fast to praise, slow to judge. Remember, we’re all human, and don’t cast the first stone Picture Quote #1

These are things I’d never seen before, they were very disturbing and they were very compelling to try and do something to change the situation for the animals. Farm animals are providing us with the food to stay alive, so I think we really owe them a decent life while they are alive Picture Quote #1

All decent people live beyond their incomes; those who aren’t respectable live beyond other people’s; a few gifted individuals manage to do both Picture Quote #1

Don’t try to be fancy. Shoot for the center of mass. The world is full of decent people. Criminals we can do without Picture Quote #1

I only have to do three things to look halfway decent. Curl my eyelashes, fill in my eyebrows and put some lipstick on Picture Quote #1

No matter how bad things get, eventually the sun is going to shine. If you just keep at it, pursuing your goals, eventually good things happen to decent people. For a person who is set on his goals, good things will happen. Everyone deals with adversity, it’s how you bounce back from it Picture Quote #1

That’s how oppression works. Thousands of otherwise decent people are persuaded to go along with an unfair system because changing it seems like too much bother. The appropriate response when somebody demands a change in that unfair system is to listen, rather than turn away or yell, as a child might, that it’s not your fault. Of course it isn’t your fault. I’m sure you’re lovely. That doesn’t mean you don’t have a responsibility to do something about it Picture Quote #1

The definition of indecent – when it’s in long, and it’s in hard, and it’s in deep – it’s in decent Picture Quote #1

If every head of state and every government official spent an hour a day reading poetry we’d live in a much more humane and decent world Picture Quote #1

I find that, once you get into a position where you can afford a pair of shoes and a decent level of living, success in itself is empty Picture Quote #1

Lots of people fantasize about what it would be like if they were president... Most think they’d be decent and wouldn’t be corrupted at all, that they’d remain true to themselves Picture Quote #1

As you might have gathered, I prefer the honest, decent and genuinely accepting friends and family I have in the conservative world Picture Quote #1
