High Quotes

It is high time to compel man by the might of right to give woman her political, legal and social rights. She will find her own sphere in accordance with her capacities, powers and tastes; and yet she will be woman still Picture Quote #1

How easy it is for generous sentiments, high courtesy, and chivalrous courage to lose their influence beneath the chilling blight of selfishness, and to exhibit to the world a man who was great in all the minor attributes of character, but who was found wanting when it became necessary to prove how much principle is superior to policy Picture Quote #1

High office teaches decision making, not substance. It consumes intellectual capital; it does not create it. Most high officials leave office with the perceptions and insights with which they entered; they learn how to make decisions but not what decisions to make Picture Quote #1

In our age of the expert the expert has his constituency - those who have a vested interest in commonly held opinions; elaborating and defining the consensus at a high level has, after all, made him an expert Picture Quote #1

I have never heard anyone say This is it. I know right now is the high point of my life. It will never get any better. Only in retrospect do we recognize the best times and of course then it is too late Picture Quote #1

And it's absolutely true that male sexual behaviour and female responses to male demands change a lot when they start communicating - and the levels of the communication that I've seen on the ground in very, very poor areas are so high and I think why don't we have that here? Picture Quote #1

The thing that influenced me most in relation to 'Nanny McPhee' were the Westerns I watched with my father. all the Spaghetti Westerns; all the Virginians; all the High Chaparrals. Because if you think about the form, it's a stranger from out of town Picture Quote #1

I place a high moral value on the way people behave. I find it repellent to have a lot, and to behave with anything other than courtesy in the old sense of the word - politeness of the heart, a gentleness of the spirit Picture Quote #1

The seeing of things as they really are-the seeing of a proportion veiled from other eyes (together with the power of expression), is what makes a man an artist. What makes him a great artist is a high fervour of spirit, which produces a superlative, instead of a comparative, clarity of vision Picture Quote #1

Engineering is a great profession. There is the satisfaction of watching a figment of the imagination emerge through the aid of science to a plan on paper. Then it moves to realisation in stone or metal or energy. Then it brings homes to men or women. Then it elevates the standard of living and adds to the comforts of life. This is the engineer's high privilege Picture Quote #1

Now, most of the time you couldn't be too sure of the quality of the drug. Although, in my experience the stuff was always of a very high quality, because back then we didn't have business majors peddling lower-quality stuff in an effort to increase profits Picture Quote #1

With my academic achievement in high school I was accepted rather readily at Princeton and equally as fast at Yale, but my test scores were not comparable to that of my classmates. and that's been shown by statistics, there are reasons for that - there are cultural biases built into testing, and that was one of the motivations for the concept of affirmative action to try to balance out those effects Picture Quote #1

A piece of simple goodness - a letter gushing from the heart; a beautiful unstudied vindication of the worth and untiring sweetness of human nature-a record of the invulnerability of man, armed with high purpose, sanctified by truth Picture Quote #1

We say God and the imagination are one. How high that highest candle lights the dark Picture Quote #1

There is no power on earth that can neutralize the influence of a high, simple and useful life Picture Quote #1

There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in it's abuses. If it would confine itself to equal protection, and, as Heaven does it's rains, shower it's favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing Picture Quote #1

Every man has at times in his mind the ideal of what he should be, but is not. This ideal may be high and complete, or it may be quite low and insufficient; yet in all men that really seek to improve, it is better than the actual character... Man never falls so low that he can see nothing higher than himself Picture Quote #1

For a thousand years no king in Christendom has shown such greatness or given so high a type of manly virtue Picture Quote #1

No period of history has ever been great or ever can be that does not act on some sort of high, idealistic motives, and idealism in our time has been shoved aside, and we are paying the penalty for it Picture Quote #1

Of course art world ethics are important. But museums are no purer than any other institution or business. Academics aren't necessarily more high minded than gallerists Picture Quote #1

The list of the slain was topped by the High Septon, ripped apart as he squealed to his gods for mercy. Starving men take a hard view of priests too fat to walk, tyrion reflected Picture Quote #1

Every year during their High Holy Days, the Jewish community reminds us all of our need for repentance and forgiveness Picture Quote #1

It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, always do what you are afraid to do Picture Quote #1

He was the only person caught in the collapse, and afterward, most of his work was recovered too, and it is still spoken of, when it is noted, with high regard, though seldom played Picture Quote #1

Of a girl before marriage: As an apple reddens on the high bough; high atop the highest bough the apple pickers passed it by - no, not passed it by, but they could not reach it Picture Quote #1

Builders, raise the ceiling high, raise the dome into the sky, hear the wedding song! For the happy groom is near, tall as Mars, and statelier, hear the wedding song! Picture Quote #1

Going on Letterman is like going off the high dive. It's exhilarating, but after a while it wasn't the kind of thrill I enjoyed Picture Quote #1

Once you get on the playing field it's not about whether you're liked or not liked. all that matters is to play at a high level and do whatever it takes to help your team win. That's what it's about Picture Quote #1

In high school, a teacher once suggested that I be a math major in college. I thought, 'Me? You've got to be joking!' I mean, in junior high, I used to come home and cry because I was so afraid of my math homework. Seriously, I was terrified of math Picture Quote #1

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing Picture Quote #1
