More Or Less Quotes

All disease, at some period or other of its course, is more or less a reparative process, not necessarily accompanied with suffering: an effort of nature to remedy a process of poisoning or of decay, which has taken place weeks, months, sometimes years beforehand, unnoticed Picture Quote #1

Most persons are so absorbed in the contemplation of the outside world that they are wholly oblivious to what is passing on within themselves. The premature death of millions is primarily traceable to this cause. Even among those who exercise care, it is a common mistake to avoid imaginary, and ignore the real dangers. And what is true of an individual also applies, more or less, to a people as a whole Picture Quote #1

We are born and we die; and between these two most important events in our lives more or less time elapses which we have to waste somehow or other. In the end it does not seem to matter much whether we have done so in making money, or practicing law, or reading or playing, or in any other way, as long as we felt we were deriving a maximum of happiness out of our doings Picture Quote #1

I admit that my visions can never mean to other men as much as they do to me. I do not regret this. All I ask is that my results should convince seekers after truth that there is beyond doubt something worth while seeking, attainable by methods more or less like mine. I do not want to father a flock, to be the fetish of fools and fanatics, or the founder of a faith whose followers are content to echo my opinions. I want each man to cut his own way through the jungle Picture Quote #1

However much we talk of the inexorable laws governing the life of individuals and of societies, we remain at the bottom convinced that in human affairs everything in more or less fortuitous. We do not even believe in the inevitability of our own death. Hence the difficulty of deciphering the present, of detecting the seeds of things to come as they germinate before our eyes. We are not attuned to seeing the inevitable Picture Quote #1

I don’t know much about history, and I wouldn’t give a nickel for all the history in the world. It means nothing to me. History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today Picture Quote #1

There’s really a shortage of good freelance writers... There are a lot of talented people who are very erratic, so either they don’t turn it in or they turn it in and it’s rotten; it’s amazing. Somebody who’s even maybe not all that terrific but who is dependable, who will turn in a publishable piece more or less on time, can really do very well Picture Quote #1

Left to herself, nature is always more or less civilized, and delights in a certain refinement; but where the axe has encroached upon the edge of the forest, the dead and unsightly limbs of the pine, which she had concealed with green banks of verdure, are exposed to sight Picture Quote #1

You do not build your own houses, nor make your own garments, nor bake your own bread, simply because you know that if you were to attempt all these things they would all be more or less ill done Picture Quote #1

Before the war there were many who were more or less ignorant of the international labor movement but who nevertheless turned to it for salvation when the threat of war arose. They hoped that the workers would never permit a war Picture Quote #1

He has all those different aspects to him, so I can more or less decide as a performer how I’m going to deliver a line in a particular scene, or play a particular scene in total Picture Quote #1

The uniqueness of the unit was more or less that it was focused on a single individual. It was really the first time the agency had done that sort of effort Picture Quote #1

Almost all the great novels have as their motif, more or less disguised, the passage from childhood to maturity, the clash between the thrill of expectation, and the disillusioning knowledge of the truth Picture Quote #1

I figure I’ve done what I could do, more or less, and now I’m going back to being a chemical; all we are is a lot of talking nitrogen, you know Picture Quote #1

Can the word be pinned down to either one period or one church? All churches are, of course, only more or less unsuccessful attempts to represent the unseen to the mind Picture Quote #1

A diary is more or less the work of a man of clay whose hands are clumsy and in whose eyes there is no light Picture Quote #1

Theories are only verified hypotheses, verified by more or less numerous facts. Those verified by the most facts are the best, but even then they are never final, never to be absolutely believed Picture Quote #1

All religions united with government are more or less inimical to liberty. All, separated from government, are compatible with liberty Picture Quote #1

Resolved, never to speak evil of anyone, so that it shall tend to his dishonor, more or less, upon no account except for some real good Picture Quote #1

All of us love companionship and sympathy; some of us may love them too much. All of us are more or less imaginative in our theology Picture Quote #1

Each of us has a day, more or less sad, more or less distant, when he has to accept, finally, the fact that he is a man Picture Quote #1

An old author is constantly rediscovering himself in the more or less fossilized productions of his earlier years Picture Quote #1

Ideas once planted in the brain fructify, and bear their harvest more or less bountiful and rich as they are fertilized by thought Picture Quote #1

Words were with them forms of expression which varied with individuals, but falsehood was more or less necessary to all Picture Quote #1

There is more or less of pathos in all true beauty. The delight it awakens has an indefinable, and, as it were, luxurious sadness, which is perhaps one element of its might Picture Quote #1

No wonder we are all more or less pleased with mediocrity, since it leaves us at rest, and gives the same comfortable feeling as when one associates with his equals Picture Quote #1

Man is largely a creature of habit, and many of his activities are more or less automatic reflexes from the stimuli of his environment Picture Quote #1

I was pre-med, so I was going to go into the family business, more or less. But I came to my senses, luckily, and backed out, and decided to go to drama school Picture Quote #1

All art is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story; to vomit the anguish up Picture Quote #1

Ancient and modern languages teem with happily expressed sentiments of more or less force and beauty, sufficiently individualized and excellent to warrant their reproduction and classification Picture Quote #1
