Incline Quotes

I incline to an aristocratic republic. This would satisfy the ambitious spirit among our people. We shall learn from the historic mistakes of others in the same way as we learn from our own; for we are a modern nation and wish to be the most modern in the world Picture Quote #1

Intellectuals incline to be individualists, or even independents, are not team conscious and tend to regard obedience as a surrender of personality Picture Quote #1

Upon this first, and in one sense this sole, rule of reason, that in order to learn you must desire to learn, and in so desiring not be satisfied with what you already incline to think, there follows one corollary which itself deserves to be inscribed upon every wall of the city of philosophy: Do not block the way of inquiry Picture Quote #1

We can assume that most people, most of the time, are moral creatures. But imagine that this morality is like a gearshift that at times gets pushed into neutral. When that happens, morality is disengaged. If the car happens to be on an incline, car and driver move precipitously downhill. It is then the nature of the circumstances that determines outcomes, not the driver’s skills or intentions Picture Quote #1

Do those things that incline you toward the big questions, and avoid the things that would reduce you and make you trivial Picture Quote #1

When it comes to believing things without actual evidence, we all incline to what we find most attractive Picture Quote #1

Morality has been conceived up to the present in a very narrow spirit, as obedience to a law, as inner struggle between opposite laws. As for me, I declare that when I do good I obey no one, I fight no battle and win no victory. The cultivated person has only to follow the delicious incline of his or her inner impulses. Be beautiful and then do at each moment whatever your heart may inspire you to do. This is the whole of morality Picture Quote #1

There is no man in any rank who is always at liberty to act as he would incline. In some quarter or other he is limited by circumstances Picture Quote #1

I myself incline to drift, to accept a lesser situation rather than strive for a greater, and yet, I know that character in life and art is only made by an effort that is quite beyond one’s ordinary everyday acceptance of things as they are Picture Quote #1

The idea shared by many that life is a vale of tears is just as false as the idea shared by the great majority, the idea to which youth and health and riches incline you, that life is a place of entertainment Picture Quote #1

It should seem that indolence itself would incline a person to be honest, as it requires infinitely greater pains and contrivance to be a knave Picture Quote #1

There’s nothing like fishing to pass the time and to incline toward a sort of magnificent stupidity in which nothing matters but tackle, bait, sunlight and the strike Picture Quote #1

The passions that incline men to peace are fear of death, desire of such things as are necessary to commodious living, and a hope by their industry to obtain them Picture Quote #1
