Employ Quotes

All men seek happiness. This is without exception. Whatever different means they employ, they all tend to this end. The cause of some going to war, and of others avoiding it, is the same desire in both, attended with different views. The will never takes the least step but to this object. This is the motive of every action of every man, even of those who hang themselves Picture Quote #1

What is life? Thoughts and feelings arise, with or without our will, and we employ words to express them. We are born, and our birth is unremembered and our infancy remembered but in fragments. We live on, and in living we lose the apprehension of life. How vain is it to think that words can penetrate the mystery of our being. Rightly used they may make evident our ignorance of ourselves, and this is much Picture Quote #1

A man finds in the productions of nature an inexhaustible stock of material on which he can employ himself, without any temptations to envy or malevolence, and has always a certain prospect of discovering new reasons for adoring the sovereign author of the universe Picture Quote #1

Man is a transitory being, and his designs must partake of the imperfections of their author. To confer duration is not always in our power. We must snatch the present moment, and employ it well, without too much solicitude for the future, and content ourselves with reflecting that our part is performed. He that waits for an opportunity to do much at once, may breathe out his life in idle wishes, and regret, in the last hour, his useless intentions and barren zeal Picture Quote #1

If the firms that employ an increasing majority of the population are driven solely to satisfy the owner’s greed at the expense of working conditions, of the stability of the community, and of the health of the environment, chances are that the quality of our lives will be worse than it is now Picture Quote #1

Behave when away from home as though you were in the presence of an honored guest. Employ the people as though you were assisting at an important sacrifice. Do not do to others what you would not like yourself. Then there will be no feelings of opposition to you, whether it is the affairs of a state that you are handling or the affairs of a family Picture Quote #1

The younger generation of today has grown up in a world in which in school and press the spirit of commercial enterprise has been represented as disreputable and the making of profit as immoral, where to employ a hundred people is represented as exploitation but to command the same number as honorable Picture Quote #1

I like to employ a form of repetition, in which the same elements recur but in different and unexpected ways. Rather than being discarded as soon as they are understood or passed over Picture Quote #1

As my men could profitably employ themselves on these streams, I moved slowly along, averaging not more than five or six miles per day and sometimes remained two days at the same encampment Picture Quote #1

You can employ men and hire hands to work for you, but you must win their hearts to have them work with you Picture Quote #1

The less one knows, the more he thinks he knows, and the more willing he is to employ any and all measures to enforce his views upon others Picture Quote #1

Our course, then, is clear; if we desire to put an end to pauperism, or to lessen it, we should import everything we can use or sell, in order that we may employ our unemployed hands, in making the goods by which we pay for these imports Picture Quote #1

To live a godly life is the best way to light up a lesson that the teacher can possibly employ Picture Quote #1

Wealthy men, too, like several of those in our neighborhood, had so many slaves that they were compelled to buy other plantations on which to employ them Picture Quote #1

It is the great mystery of life itself which is at the bottom of all the mysterious language we are obliged to employ concerning it Picture Quote #1

It is hard to keep a secret, to employ leisure well, and to be able to bear an injury Picture Quote #1

All men naturally hate one another. They employ lust as far as possible in the service of the public weal. But this is only a pretence and a false image of love; for at bottom it is only hate Picture Quote #1

Employ your time improving yourself by other men’s writings so that you shall come easily to what others have labored hard for Picture Quote #1

There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it Picture Quote #1

To get all there is out of living, we must employ our time wisely, never being in too much of a hurry to stop and sip life, but never losing our sense of the enormous value of a minute Picture Quote #1

Resist beginnings: it is too late to employ medicine when the evil has grown strong by inveterate habit Picture Quote #1

They consume a considerable quantity of our paper manufacture, employ our artisans in printing, and find business for great numbers of indigent persons Picture Quote #1

What we employ in charitable uses during our lives is given away from ourselves; what we bequeath at our death is given from others only, as our nearest relations Picture Quote #1

When the painter wishes to represent an event, he cannot place before us too great a number of personages; but he cannot employ too few when he wishes to portray an emotion Picture Quote #1

It is very unfair in any writer to employ ignorance and malice together, because it gives his answerer double work Picture Quote #1

Enjoy what thou hast inherited from thy sires if thou wouldst possess it; what we employ not is an oppressive burden; what the moment brings forth, that only can it profit by Picture Quote #1

Men use thought only to justify their wrong doings, and employ speech only to conceal their thoughts Picture Quote #1

The way to elegancy of style is to employ your pen upon every errand; and the more trivial and dry it is, the more brains must be allowed for sauce Picture Quote #1

Leisure will always be found by persons who know how to employ their time; those who want time are the people who do nothing Picture Quote #1

Generally our confidences move downward rather than upward; in our secret affairs, we employ our inferiors much more than our bettors Picture Quote #1
