What we have to do is strike a balance between the idea that government should do everything and the idea, the belief, that government ought to do nothing. Strike a balance (Do Nothing Quotes)
We might all place ourselves in one of two ranks the women who do something, and the women who do nothing; the first being of course the only creditable place to occupy (Do Nothing Quotes)
To confess your fallibility and then do nothing about it is not humble; it is boasting of your modesty (Do Nothing Quotes)
If you are to reach masses of people in this world, you must do it by a sign language. Whether your vehicle be commerce, literature, or politics, you can do nothing but raise signals, and make motions to the people (Do Nothing Quotes)
People who know how to employ themselves, always find leisure moments, while those who do nothing are forever in a hurry (Do Nothing Quotes)
Labor is man’s greatest function. He is nothing, he can do nothing, he can achieve nothing, he can fulfill nothing, without working (Do Nothing Quotes)
Perhaps, on the whole, embarrassment and perplexity are a kind of natural accompaniment to life and movement; and it is better to be driven out of your senses with thinking which of two things you ought to do than to do nothing whatever, and be utterly uninteresting to all the world (Do Nothing Quotes)
As a reader, I notice political views regardless of whether or not the book is fiction. What annoys me is when said views do nothing to advance the narrative (Do Nothing Quotes)
Summer is the annual permission slip to be lazy. To do nothing and have it count for something. To lie in the grass and count the stars. To sit on a branch and study the clouds (Do Nothing Quotes)
Men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed (Do Nothing Quotes)
The more the poet grows, the deeper the level of creative intuition descends into the density of his soul. Where formerly he could be moved to song, he can do nothing now, he must dig deeper (Do Nothing Quotes)
There is a kind of expressed love which is easy to subvert. When a figure is loved for their deeds, their conquests, their heroism, their goodness, their love of the people, these are easy enough to destroy... But there is a kind of love which is felt for apparently no reason... A love, inspired, it seems, by the gods, which it is impossible to fight, distort, destroy, or weaken. In fact, the attempts to destroy such loves only strengthen them. And to do nothing allows them to continue to grow at their natural pace, inexoribly, till this love becomes a wide and silent adoration (Do Nothing Quotes)
A young woman, newly wed, may find herself in the delightful position of wanting to do nothing without the company of her darling husband. She may indeed discover that she spends all her waking hours with her fellow to the exclusion of every other friend or family member. This is understandable, but wholly unacceptable, to society (Do Nothing Quotes)
Peace, if it ever exists, will not be based on the fear of war, but on the love of peace. It will not be the abstaining from an act, but the coming of a state of mind. In this sense the most insignificant writer can serve peace, where the most powerful tribunals can do nothing (Do Nothing Quotes)
Sometimes rescue comes to you. It just shows up, and you do nothing. Maybe you deserve it, maybe you don’t. But be ready, when it comes, to decide if you will take the outstretched hand and let it pull you ashore (Do Nothing Quotes)
People say you’re born innocent, but it’s not true. You inherit all kinds of things that you can do nothing about. You inherit your identity, your history, like a birthmark that you can’t wash off... We are born with our heads turned back, but my mother says we have to face into the future now. You have to earn your own innocence, she says. You have to grow up and become innocent (Do Nothing Quotes)
Because sometimes, a man could do nothing about where he came from, he could only control where he went (Do Nothing Quotes)
He and I had a bridge that no one else traveled that made us artistic lovers, passionate without a touch of the flesh. He made me thrive, and valuing that, I could do nothing that would endanger it (Do Nothing Quotes)
I am convinced that there are times in everybody’s experience when there is so much to be done, that the only way to do it is to sit down and do nothing (Do Nothing Quotes)
In life, we choose whether or not we want to be a winner or a loser. To be a winner, we must devote time and hard work. To be a loser you do nothing, and that’s exactly what you will get, nothing (Do Nothing Quotes)
A man’s name, title, and rank are artificial and impermanent; they do nothing to reveal what he really is, even to himself (Do Nothing Quotes)
Love, oneness, is no separation between you and life. It is a progressive letting go, a progressive not fault finding. Just do nothing and love this moment. Its very beautiful and very deep (Do Nothing Quotes)
Srebrenica’s not simply another reminder of man’s inhumanity to man, but how intelligent people can always come up with intelligent reasons to do nothing (Do Nothing Quotes)
Human life has the software and hardware to go the distance. All we need to do is know our nature and mimic nature’s way. Do less and accomplish more; do nothing and accomplish everything is nature’s secret to the miracle of life (Do Nothing Quotes)
Victory always starts in the head. It’s a state of mind. It then spreads with such radiance and such affirmations that destiny can do nothing but obey (Do Nothing Quotes)
November is usually such a disagreeable month as if the year had suddenly found out she was growing old and could do nothing but weep and fret over it (Do Nothing Quotes)
You know when you have a good relationship with someone when you are just perfectly happy to be quiet and just hang out and do nothing (Do Nothing Quotes)
This company looks cheap, that company looks cheap, but the overall economy could completely screw it up. The key is to wait. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to do nothing (Do Nothing Quotes)
My work has to do with a defense against fervor. People are always in a rush. To do what? To do nothing! There is a kind of fervor that is completely meaningless. This drawing is a call for meditation... I am an insomniac, so for me the state of being asleep is paradise. It is a paradise I can never reach. But I still try to conquer the insomnia, and to a large extent I have done it; it is conquerable. My drawings are a kind of rocking or stroking and an attempt at finding peace. Peaceful rhythm. Like rocking a baby to sleep (Do Nothing Quotes)
It wasn’t not being famous any more, or even not being a recording artist. It was having nobody who needed me, no phones ringing, nothing to do. Because I’m still too young to do nothing. I was only 24 when all that happened. Now, at 40, I feel I’ve got more to give than I ever have (Do Nothing Quotes)
