Text Quotes
People who truly have control over time always have some in their pocket to give to someone in need. A sense of priorities drives their use of time and it can shift away from the ordinary work that’s easy to justify, in favor of the more ethereal, deeper things that are harder to justify. They protect their time from trivia and idiocy; these people are time rich. They provide themselves with a surplus of time. They might seem to idle, or relax more often than the rest, but that just might be a sign of their mastery, not their incompetence (Ordinary Quotes)
It takes no effort to be ordinary. Ordinary is not even a challenge. You can do nothing and be ordinary (Ordinary Quotes)
The real art is not to come up with extraordinary clever words but to make ordinary simple words do extraordinary things. To use the language that we all use and to make amazing things occur (Ordinary Quotes)
I saw that I was in danger of becoming ordinary, and I understood that from now on I would have to be vigilant (Ordinary Quotes)
Ask anyone what that means, what it means to see a miracle, and they will say that it’s something impossible, but they mean that a miracle is something formerly believed to be impossible that turns out not to be, not to be impossible, in other words, but possible after all. If this were really true, then miracles would be the most ordinary things in the world, the most uninspiring things in the world, and what can one expect from people who have never been anything but ordinary and uninspired (Ordinary Quotes)
Nothing sorts out memories from ordinary moments. It is only later that they claim remembrance, when they show their scars (Ordinary Quotes)
We bless the life around us far more than we realize. Many simple, ordinary things that we do can affect those around us in profound ways: the unexpected phone call, the brief touch, the willingness to listen generously, the warm smile or wink of recognition. All it may take to restore someone’s trust in life may be returning a lost earring or a dropped glove (Ordinary Quotes)
Summer weather, like being in love,is a philosopher’s stone which turns our ordinary days to gold. But not the whole day... For it is never the whole day, never all our life which is transformed in any happiness, but only the exquisite moments (Ordinary Quotes)
It is frequently a misfortune to have very brilliant men in charge of affairs. They expect too much of ordinary men (Ordinary Quotes)
He, who for an ordinary cause, resigns the fate of his patient to mercury, is a vile enemy to the sick; and, if he is tolerably popular, will, in one successful season, have paved the way for the business of life, for he has enough to do, ever afterward, to stop the mercurial breach of the constitutions of his dilapidated patients. He has thrown himself in fearful proximity to death, and has now to fight him at arm’s length as long as the patient maintains a miserable existence (Ordinary Quotes)
When chess masters err, ordinary wood pushers tend to derive a measure of satisfaction, if not actual glee (Ordinary Quotes)
An ordinary mirror is silvered at the back but the window of the night train has darkness behind the glass. My face and the faces of other travellers were now mirrored on this darkness in a succession of stillnesses. Consider this, said the darkness: any motion at any speed is a succession of stillnesses; any section through an action will show just such a plane of stillness as this dark window in which your seeking face is mirrored. And in each plane of stillness is the moment of clarity that makes you responsible for what you do (Ordinary Quotes)
We tried to present the ordinary in an extraordinary manner. But that’s the paradox because the only thing extraordinary about it was that it was so ordinary. Nobody had ever done it before, deliberately. Now it’s called documentary, which I suppose is all right... We just took pictures that cried out to be taken (Ordinary Quotes)
I want my work to become part of our visual history, to enter our collective memory and our collective conscience. I hope it will serve to remind us that history’s deepest tragedies concern not the great protagonists who set events in motion but the countless ordinary people who are caught up in those events and torn apart by their remorseless fury. I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated (Ordinary Quotes)
Plato described ordinary life as unthinking, lived in a dim cave of shadowy reflections, but said that it is possible to leave the cave and see things in sunlit clarity as they actually are (Ordinary Quotes)
These are no ordinary claims; and it seems hardly possible for a rational being to regard them with even a subdued interest; much less to treat them with mere indifference and contempt. If not true they are little else than the pretensions of a bold imposture, which not satisfied with having already enslaved millions of the human race, seeks to continue its encroachments upon human liberty, until all nations be subjected under its iron rule (Ordinary Quotes)
The terrain of the mysteries is the ordinary. To seek out mystery, we don’t have to go anywhere. We must simply change our preception, our description, our consciousness of where we are (Ordinary Quotes)
What is it about a secret love that makes everything they do shine, everything they say sound like a sonnet and every expression they make perfect, when to everyone else you speak to they’re quite ordinary. It’s a cruel sort of thing (Ordinary Quotes)
Each of us is a moving center, a space of divine mystery. And though we spend most of our time on the surface in the daily details of ordinary existence, most us hunger to connect to this space within, to break through to bliss, to be swept away into something bigger than us (Ordinary Quotes)
We walk, and our religion is shown even to the dullest and most insensitive person in how we walk. Or to put it more accurately, living in this world means choosing, choosing to walk, and the way we choose to walk is infallibly and perfectly expressed in the walk itself. Nothing can disguise it. The walk of an ordinary man and of an enlightened man are as different as that of a snake and a giraffe (Ordinary Quotes)
After all, the ordinary hero hiding in each of us is often the most powerful catalyst for change (Ordinary Quotes)
The stresses, strains, and traumas of ordinary daily existence in the process of working and living tend to inhibit our breathing ability (Ordinary Quotes)
There’s absolutely no limit to what plain, ordinary, working people can accomplish if they’re given the opportunity and encouragement to do their best (Ordinary Quotes)
It’s always been my philosophy to try to make art out of the everyday and ordinary... it never occurred to me to leave home to make art (Ordinary Quotes)
The night was ordinary. It usually is, I think, when your life changes. Most people aren’t doing anything special when the carefully placed pieces of their life break apart (Ordinary Quotes)
I’ve done more than 10,000 interviews, and I’ve learnt that you’ve got to do your homework. I bury myself in research beforehand. And you have to be genuinely interested in people; there’s a cornucopia of great, ordinary people out there with wonderful, colourful stories (Ordinary Quotes)
The saints differ from us in their exuberance, the excess of our human talents. Moderation is not their secret. It is in the wildness of their dreams, the desperate vitality of their ambitions, that they stand apart from ordinary people of good will (Ordinary Quotes)
The act of voting is one opportunity for us to remember that our whole way of life is predicated on the capacity of ordinary people to judge carefully and well (Ordinary Quotes)
I try to make my characters kind of ordinary, somebody that anybody could be. Because we’ve all had loves, perhaps love and loss, people can relate to my characters (Ordinary Quotes)
If you pursue happiness, you are an ordinary person. If happiness pursues you, you are an extraordinary person. Do not chase happiness; let it chase you (Ordinary Quotes)
