Greatness consists not in the holding of some future office, but really consists in doing great deeds with little means and the accomplishment of vast purposes from the private ranks of life (Means Quotes)
Forgiveness essentially means giving up your right to make other people pay for the wrongs they have committed against you (Means Quotes)
The bully mind is not capable of loving or respecting others nor can it love or respect itself. Life’s subtleties and the means of survival require its pretense of both these qualities (Means Quotes)
Wherever a people have grown savage in arms so that human laws have no longer any place among it, the only powerful means of reducing it is religion (Means Quotes)
It’s very hard to win without any problems. To win, you have to fight. And many times, this fight means to indispose in certain ways with some people, to prevail your beliefs. Your point of view, your ideas and your personality above everything. If you don’t fight hard, you lose your own way. And if you lose your own way, you’re nobody. So, to achieve this line of conduct, you have to fight very hard. And in many times, you really have to fight (Means Quotes)
If homosexuality is not caused by genetic factors... then that means it can be acquired... And if it can be acquired, shouldn’t we be doing everything in our power to protect people from acquiring it? Shouldn’t we lean to the side of protecting the children instead of affirming a scientific hypothesis that has no actual truthful foundation? (Means Quotes)
If you catch them at 12 years old, which they are working very aggressively to do and you tell those children that if you have an attraction towards someone of the same gender, that means you’re gay and because you’re gay you need to come with us (Means Quotes)
Without an acquaintance with chemistry, the statesman must remain a stranger to the true vital interests of the state, to the means of its organic development and improvement;... The highest economic or material interests of a country, the increased and more profitable production of food for man and animals,... are most closely linked with the advancement and diffusion of the natural sciences, especially of chemistry (Means Quotes)
Being a professional means doing your job on the days you don’t want to do it (Means Quotes)
Success isn’t winning every time. A lot of different factors go into every race, and you can’t control all of them. Success means doing as excellent a job as you can on that particular day. The people I admire most aren’t necessarily the most wonderful athletes. I admire the ones who keep coming back and doing it, time after time (Means Quotes)
We have the misconception that competitiveness means winning at all costs, but that’s not what competition is. Competition is just doing your best and not giving up. We all face a moment in a race or in a competition in which we want to give up. We can either give in and not keep pushing, or we can charge forward and work through it (Means Quotes)
Our fate is something which exists outside ourselves, and which once revealed expresses the meaning of our lives. Apart, however, from soothsayers who claim to have a means of foretelling exactly what will befall us, this kind of fate is only normally revealed after a life has ended. Only then can the meaning of that life be understood (Means Quotes)
As there is not in human observation proper means for measuring the waste of land upon the globe, it is hence inferred, that we cannot estimate the duration of what we see at present, nor calculate the period at which it had begun; so that, with respect to human observation, this world has neither a beginning nor an end (Means Quotes)
As ideas are preserved and communicated by means of words, it necessarily follows that we cannot improve the language of any science, without at the same time improving the science itself; neither can we, on the other hand, improve a science without improving the language or nomenclature which belongs to it (Means Quotes)
To be oneself is being neither under bond nor borrowed nor sold nor hired. To be, means to be spiritually free (Means Quotes)
I think of art as a glue, a cultural and social glue. It’s one of the means that has served to show us the things we believe in and the things we celebrate; it has served to reinforce our relationship to each other (Means Quotes)
Having made a sufficient opening to admit my finger into the abdomen, I passed it between the intestines to the spine, and felt the aorta greatly enlarged, and beating with excessive force. By means of my finger nail, I scratched through the peritoneum on the left side of the aorta, and then gradually passed my finger between the aorta and the spine, and again penetrated the peritoneum, on the right side of the aorta. I had now my finger under the artery, and by its side I conveyed the blunt aneurismal needle, armed with a single ligature behind it (Means Quotes)
If you ruin your life, you will pay the price of rehabilitating yourself... We are not punished for our sins, but by them. Liberty means responsibility (Means Quotes)
Government is, at every level, a means to gather in the labor and wealth of the people, and then instruct the people about new restrictions or monitoring of their lives (Means Quotes)
It has occurred to me that possibly the white corpuscles may have the office of picking up and digesting bacterial organisms when by any means they find their way into the blood. The propensity exhibited by the leukocytes for picking up inorganic granules is well known, and that they may be able not only to pick up but to assimilate, and so dispose of, the bacteria which come in their way does not seem to me very improbable in view of the fact that amoebae, which resemble them so closely, feed upon bacteria and similar organisms (Means Quotes)
A rock or stone is not a subject that, of itself, may interest a philosopher to study; but, when he comes to see the necessity of those hard bodies, in the constitution of this earth, or for the permanency of the land on which we dwell, and when he finds that there are means wisely provided for the renovation of this necessary decaying part, as well as that of every other, he then, with pleasure, contemplates this manifestation of design, and thus connects the mineral system of this earth with that by which the heavenly bodies are made to move perpetually in their orbits (Means Quotes)
Increased knowledge of heredity means increased power of control over the living thing, and as we come to understand more and more the architecture of the plant or animal we realize what can and what cannot be done towards modification or improvement (Means Quotes)
The alchemists of past centuries tried hard to make the elixir of life:... Those efforts were in vain; it is not in our power to obtain the experiences and the views of the future by prolonging our lives forward in this direction. However, it is well possible in a certain sense to prolong our lives backwards by acquiring the experiences of those who existed before us and by learning to know their views as well as if we were their contemporaries. The means for doing this is also an elixir of life (Means Quotes)
In mathematics we find the primitive source of rationality; and to mathematics must the biologists resort for means to carry out their researches (Means Quotes)
There is, however, no universal recipe for scientific advance. It is a matter of groping forward into terra incognita of the outer world by means of methods which should be adapted to the circumstances (Means Quotes)
The one sure means of dealing with boredom is to care for someone else, to do something kind and good (Means Quotes)
Being humble doesn’t mean you lose; it means you have won. Give the victory to others (Means Quotes)
When others put you down for who you are or what you’re doing, it just means that you’re going in the right direction (Means Quotes)
The fact that some people are opposed on religious grounds mainly, well, that doesn’t bother me as long as they’re not allowed to influence other people by force or by whatever other means (Means Quotes)
We know we should have won that game. But that doesn’t mean we look at it as a revenge game. It means we think we should have won; and now, let’s correct it (Means Quotes)
