Text Quotes
Tennis is like a wonderful, longstanding relationship with a husband. Golf is a tempestuous, lousy lover; it’s totally unpredicatable, a constant surprise  (Npr Quotes) In order to grow, you must accept new responsibilities, no matter how uncertain you may feel or how unprepared you are to deal with them  (Npr Quotes) To think to keep things as they are, is to let them move unpredictably, since nothing but death will still the beat of the heart or keep the universe from its perpetual motion  (Npr Quotes) Speculations apparently the most unprofitable have almost invariably been those from which the greatest practical applications have emanated  (Npr Quotes) One never finishes learning about art. There are always new things to discover. Great works of art seem to look different every time one stands before them. They seem to be as inexhaustible and unpredictable as real human beings  (Npr Quotes) The interaction of genetic and external influences makes my behaviour unpredictable, but not undetermined. In the gap between those words lies freedom  (Npr Quotes) Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We believe it only because the only alternative is special creation, and that is unthinkable  (Npr Quotes) The man of culture is one of the poorest mortals alive. For simple pedantry and want of good sense no man is his equal. No assumption is too unreal, no end is too unpractical for him  (Npr Quotes) I am unable to accept the idea that I should be an obedient subject of a gang of corrupt, unprincipled thugs who pontificate about freedom while enslaving the population  (Npr Quotes) Players taught to watch the man with the ball leaves them totally unprepared for the next move, which is always dictated by a player without the ball  (Npr Quotes) When the novice photographer starts taking pictures, he carries his camera about and shoots everything that interests him. There comes a time when he must crystallize his ideas and set off in an particular direction. He must learn that shooting for the sake of shooting is dull and unprofitable  (Npr Quotes) With virtually no knowledge of or interest in history, the masses simply take their unprecedented high living standards under capitalism for granted  (Npr Quotes) I doubt that the phenomenon was any terrestrial reflection, because... nothing of the kind has ever appeared before or since... I was so unprepared for such a strange sight that I was really petrified with astonishment  (Npr Quotes) I’ve done so many unpredictable things and so profoundly. Even the people who want to go against me, are afraid to go against me. They’ve been wrong so many times. A lot of them are just being mum right now. They must feel I can still do things  (Npr Quotes) War is an unpredictable beast. Once unleashed, it runs like a rabid dog, ravening friend or foe alike. It can drag on for years, a slow attrition of nerve and fortitude, or be over in one brilliant flash, an extravagant conflagration of flame and blood and waste  (Npr Quotes) While I wholeheartedly support finding cost savings through efficiencies in all areas of the federal government, including defense, I will resist any actions that would compromise our nation’s qualitative edge when it comes to national defense. It is well known that weakness invites aggression. Threats do not always announce themselves in advance. In order to prepare for unpredictable threats, we must modernize our defense systems. We certainly cannot let them age and deteriorate  (Npr Quotes) A good conspiracy is unprovable. I mean, if you can prove it, it means they screwed up somewhere along the line  (Npr Quotes) People are concerned over safety and spillage, especially for the workers. Were all really hopeful even though we remain deeply concerned over the safety and the efficacy of an unproven technology  (Npr Quotes) As a rule, panics do not destroy capital; they merely reveal the extent to which it has been destroyed by its betrayal into hopelessly unproductive works  (Npr Quotes) I’d become one of those mistakes you sometimes find in an office, a not unpleasant but mostly unproductive presence bobbing along on the energy tides of others, a walking reminder of somebody’s error in judgement  (Npr Quotes) A margin of safety is achieved when securities are purchased at prices sufficiently below underlying value to allow for human error, bad luck, or extreme volatility in a complex, unpredictable and rapidly changing world  (Npr Quotes) We tend to think of dangers and uncertainties as anomalies in the continuum of life, or irruptions of unpredictable forces into a largely predictable world. I suggest the contrary: that dangers and uncertainties are an inescapable dimension of life. In fact, as we shall come to understand, they make life matter. They define what it means to be human  (Npr Quotes) As a matter of constitutional tradition, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we presume that governmental regulation of the content of speech is more likely to interfere with the free exchange of ideas than to encourage it. The interest in encouraging freedom of expression in a democratic society outweighs any theoretical but unproven benefit of censorship  (Npr Quotes) The locus of corporate innovations has been product development. But in times of rapid and unpredictable change, the creation of individual products becomes less important than the creation of a general organizational aptitude for innovation  (Npr Quotes) This constant, unproductive preoccupation with all the things we have to do is the single largest consumer of time and energy  (Npr Quotes) Is the warming unprecedented? Probably not. There is abundant historical and proxy evidence for both hotter and cooler periods in human history. Is it our fault? Again, maybe. The correlation of increasing warmth with increasing carbon dioxide concentrations is particularly weak; that with solar energy and with ocean movements is much stronger  (Npr Quotes) Critics of the global warming agenda are motivated... by a love of freedom and civil liberties. They want a discussion based on logic and facts that will address any problems without depriving us of liberty and personal choice. They do not want to sacrifice our way of life based on fears of an unproven theory. After all, the loss of liberty is a greater cause of alarm than global warming  (Npr Quotes) Commercial interests with their advertising industry do not want people to develop contentment and less greed. Military interests in economic, political, ethnic or nationalist guises, do not want people to develop more tolerance, nonviolence and compassion. And ruling groups in general, in whatever sort of hierarchy do not want the ruled to become too insightful, too independent, too creative on their own, as the danger is that they will become insubordinate, rebellious, and unproductive in their alloted tasks  (Npr Quotes) Reality is cruel. All of the naivete is going to be removed. Reality is always changing, and it is always unpredictable. All of the balance is going to be destroyed  (Npr Quotes) When the world is predictable you need smart people. When the world is unpredictable you need adaptable people  (Npr Quotes)
