Means Quotes

By means of meditation we can teach our minds to be calm and balanced; within this calmness is a richness and a potential, an inner knowledge which can render our lives boundlessly satisfying and meaningful. While the mind may be what traps us in unhealthy patterns of stress and imbalance, it is also the mind which can free us. Through meditation, we can tap the healing qualities of mind Picture Quote #1

By placing confidence in violent means, one has chosen the very type of struggle with which the oppressors nearly always have superiority Picture Quote #1

Drop a word in the ocean of meaning and concentric ripples form. To define a single word means to try to catch those ripples. No one’s hands are fast enough Picture Quote #1

An educated person must learn to act justly, beginning, first of all, with his thoughts, then later in his deeds. That is what it means to be educated Picture Quote #1

Allure goes beyond appearances to the way they grace the world. Some women propel themselves by means of an internal gyroscope. Others glide through life as if on ice skates. Some women convey their tortured lives through their eyes; others encircle you in the music of their laughter Picture Quote #1

We are limited by our agreements on possibility. Agreement is a common exclusion of alternate possibilities. Agreement is the cement of social structure. Two or three gathered together, agreeing on what they are after, may create a subset in which their goals can be achieved, even though folly in the eyes of the world. The world in this case means a set of expectancies agreed upon, a set excluding other possibilities Picture Quote #1

To be alone means that you avoid bad company. But to have a true friend is better than being alone Picture Quote #1

Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. It is not for the sake of a good public administration that it is required, but for the security in the pursuit of the highest objects of civil society, and of private life Picture Quote #1

Laughing doesn’t make bad things worse any more than crying makes them better. It doesn’t mean you don’t care, or that you’ve forgotten. It just means you’re human Picture Quote #1

Genuine equality means not treating everyone the same, but attending equally to everyone’s different needs Picture Quote #1

To do what we love we miss the ones we love. Long distance letters and phone calls and anything to make the distance disappear! That’s what this means to me Picture Quote #1

A woman wanted to know how to deal with anger. I asked when anger arose whose anger it was. She said it was hers. Well, if it really was her anger, then she should be able to tell it to go away, shouldnt she? But it really isn’t hers to command. Holding on to anger as a personal possession will cause suffering. If anger really belonged to us, it would have to obey us. If it doesn’t obey us, that means it’s only a deception. Don’t fall for it. Whenever the mind is happy or sad, don’t fall for it. Its all a deception Picture Quote #1

Often actors ask me if I think they should go on trying to be an actor.I have the same answer for everyone who asks: If you have a choice and could reasonably be happy doing something else, by all means go at once and do something else. Acting or writing or directing in the theatre or television or screen is only for the irrecoverably diseased, those who are so smitten with the need that there is no choice Picture Quote #1

You’re hated by some, loved by others, but that’s what’s great about being different. If everybody loved you, that means you’re not doing the right thing most of the time Picture Quote #1

My religion recognizes no obligation to resolve doubt other than through rational means; and it commands no mere faith in eternal truths Picture Quote #1

After all, if freedom of speech means anything, it means a willingness to stand and let people say things with which we disagree, and which do weary us considerably Picture Quote #1

Do not simplify. Do not worry about failure. Failure is a badge of honour. It means you risked failure Picture Quote #1

If the first casualty of war is innocence, then perhaps with each bullet fired, bomb detonated, leader overthrown, wall built, economy destroyed and family member killed, we are not creating goodwill and harmony, but rather another child who believes violence is the only means to bring about change in the world Picture Quote #1

When you have the intuition that there is something which is there, but out of the reach of your physical world, art and religion are the only means to get to it Picture Quote #1

If we cannot make a profit, that means we are committing a sort of crime against society. We take society’s capital, we take their people, we take their materials, yet without a good profit, we are using precious resources that could be better used elsewhere Picture Quote #1

Aggression means emotions. Emotions means you’re gonna get off your plan and that means you’ll lose the fight Picture Quote #1

From what deep springs of character our personal philosophies issue, we cannot be sure. In philosophers themselves we seem always able to notice some deep internal correspondence between the man and his philosophy. Are our philosophies, then, merely the inevitable outcome of the body of fate and personal circumstance that is thrust upon each of us? Or are these beliefs the means by which we freely create ourselves as the persons we become? Here, at the very outset, the question of freedom already hovers in the background Picture Quote #1

To be able to choose between proprietary software packages is to be able to choose your master. Freedom means not having a master. And in the area of computing, freedom means not using proprietary software Picture Quote #1

True greatness means that, even if you forget what you’ve done for others, you never forget what others have done for you. It means always doing your utmost to repay debts of gratitude. Such people radiate integrity, depth of character, bigheartedness and charm Picture Quote #1

True disruption means threatening your existing product line and your past investments. Breakthrough products disrupt current lines of businesses Picture Quote #1

Loving your child also means respecting him as a person. Treat him with the same courtesy as would a friend Picture Quote #1

Spending energy to understand the audience and carefully crafting a message that resonates with them means making a commitment of time and discipline to the process Picture Quote #1

When I’m feeling confused by my awakening process, that usually means I’m on the right track Picture Quote #1
