Force Quotes

In order to exert influence over people, there were other things that could be used besides love. Knowledge seemed to be an equally strong force, perhaps even stronger. Whoever possessed knowledge not only had power over the changeable passions of people, but also power over their thinking, over their minds, hearts and souls Picture Quote #1

At the approach of danger two voices speak with equal force in the heart of man: one very reasonably tells the man to consider the nature of the danger and the means of avoiding it and the other, even more reasonable, says that it is too painful and harassing to think of the danger... better to turn aside from the painful subject till it has come, and to think of what is pleasant. In solitude a man generally yields to the first voice; in society to the second Picture Quote #1

The small force that it takes to launch a boat into the stream should not be confused with the force of the stream that carries it along: but this confusion appears in nearly all biographies Picture Quote #1

A man without force, is without the essential dignity of humanity. Human nature is so constituted, that it cannot honor a helpless man, although it can pity him Picture Quote #1

A man makes inferiors his superiors by heat; self control is the rule. Anger is an uncontrollable feeling that betrays what you are when you are not yourself. Anger is that powerful internal force that blows out the light of reason. Know this to be the enemy: it is anger, born of desire Picture Quote #1

If there is one thing fundamental to the life of the spirit it is the absence of force Picture Quote #1

What the intellectual craves above all else is to be taken seriously, to be treated as a decisive force in shaping history. He is far more at home in a society that weighs his every word and keeps close watch on his attitudes then in a society that cares not what he says or does. He would rather be persecuted than ignored Picture Quote #1

The truth seems to be that propaganda on its own cannot force its way into unwilling minds; neither can it inculcate something wholly new; nor can it keep people persuaded once they have ceased to believe. It penetrates into minds already open, and rather than instill opinion it articulates and justifies opinions already present in the minds of its recipients Picture Quote #1

It is art that makes life, and I know of no substitute whatsoever for the force and beauty of its process Picture Quote #1

The only justification in the use of force is to reduce the amount of force necessary to be used Picture Quote #1

Goals give us direction. They put a powerful force into play on a universal, conscious, and subconscious level. Goals give our life direction Picture Quote #1

Whatever each man can separately do, without trespassing upon others, he has a right to do for himself; and he has a right to a fair portion of all which society, with all it combinations of skill and force, can do in his favor. In this partnership all men have equal rights; but not to equal things Picture Quote #1

Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence Picture Quote #1

The mind supplies the idea of a nation, but what gives this idea its sentimental force is a community of dreams Picture Quote #1

Law is no explanation of anything; law is simply a generalization, a category of facts. Law is neither a cause, nor a reason, nor a power, nor a coercive force. It is nothing but a general formula, a statistical table Picture Quote #1

God, the supreme artist, uses our life for the creation of art. We are the instruments through which the force of life expresses itself Picture Quote #1

A conductor has to know how to translate music into a communicative force that makes the listener want to hear what he has to say Picture Quote #1

The force that propels the human spirit on the clear way forward and upward is the abstract spirit Picture Quote #1

Grateful for his mistakes, man should be the gods, because by overcoming the faults the stronger force is developed Picture Quote #1

Asked whether donor nations may be becoming fatigued... The fatigue may be there, but I don’t think we can justify it in the face of such misery. We may need to wake up our conscience and our conscience must force us to act Picture Quote #1

Ambition is vital, but dangerous: it is a keen motive and a driving force, but over what edge can it drive the artist? Picture Quote #1

Because I believe that abortion is murder, I also believe that force is justified in an attempt to stop it Picture Quote #1

Regarding ego force, we don’t always like people who have it. If you have it, and need to be liked, you ought to consider letting most of it come out the end of your brush Picture Quote #1

So long as painting deals with objective nature, it is an impure art, for recognizability precludes the highest aesthetic emotion. All painting, ancient or modern, moves us aesthetically only in so far as it possesses a force over and beyond its aspect Picture Quote #1

Strong coffee, much strong coffee, is what awakens me. Coffee gives me warmth, waking, an unusual force and a pain that is not without very great pleasure Picture Quote #1

As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter Picture Quote #1

Opponents confront us continually, but actually there is no opponent there. Enter deeply into an attack and neutralize it as you draw that misdirected force into your own sphere Picture Quote #1

When you have resolved to fight a battle, collect your whole force. Dispense with nothing. A single battalion sometimes decides the day Picture Quote #1

I had no monarch in my life, and cannot rule myself; and when I try to organize, my little force explodes and leaves me bare and charred Picture Quote #1

There are two primary forces in this world, fear and faith. Fear can move you to destructiveness or sickness or failure. Only in rare instances will it motivate you to accomplishment. But faith is a greater force. Faith can drive itself into your consciousness and set you free from fear forever Picture Quote #1
