Point Quotes

The point I wish plainly to bring before you on this occasion is the individuality of each human soul; our Protestant idea, the right of individual conscience and judgment - our republican idea, individual citizenship. In discussing the rights of woman, we are to consider, first, what belongs to her as an individual, in a world of her own, the arbiter of her own destiny, an imaginary Robinson Crusoe with her woman Friday on a solitary island. Her rights under such circumstances are to use all her faculties for her own safety and happiness Picture Quote #1

The talk of sheltering woman from the fierce storms of life is the sheerest mockery, for they beat on her from every point of the compass, just as they do on man, and with more fatal results, for he has been trained to protect himself, to resist, to conquer Picture Quote #1

So it is not a matter of whether it is possible to attain Buddhahood, or if it is possible to make a tile a jewel. But just to work, just to live in this world with this understanding is the most important point, and that is our practice. That is true zazen Picture Quote #1

God is the light that illuminates the darkness, even if it does not dissolve it, and a spark of divine light is within each of us. In the letter I wrote to you, you will remember I said that our species will end but the light of God will not end and at that point it will invade all souls and it will all be in everyone Picture Quote #1

Ron Paul's crazy talk about the Federal Reserve makes more sense these days. Right now, every - all this debt issued by the United States people assume the Chinese are buying, no they don't want any more American debt. Ron Paul has a point there Picture Quote #1

I have never heard anyone say This is it. I know right now is the high point of my life. It will never get any better. Only in retrospect do we recognize the best times and of course then it is too late Picture Quote #1

I don't mean being famous is a perk, because one knows that it's not necessarily a perk, but there are certain perks to being well-known and respected in one's field. Public perks. Like, I don't know, general friendliness and willingness to please, just to point out two Picture Quote #1

I think the point about ActionAid is what it's asking people to do is engage with poor people in developing countries and understand what their lives are like and understand how the way we live our lives impacts on theirs Picture Quote #1

I don't think there's much point in bemoaning the state of the world unless there's some way you can think of to improve it. Otherwise, don't bother writing a book; go and find a tropical island and lie in the sun Picture Quote #1

I suppose what's happened recently has confirmed suspicions I voiced in the book, and I think made clearer some of those things that I point out. For instance I have a section of the book where I talk about the possibility of torture Picture Quote #1

If you're working out in front of a mirror and watching your muscles grow, your ego has reached a point where it is now eating itself. That's why I believe there should be a psychiatrist at every health club, so that when they see you doing this, they will take you away for a little chat Picture Quote #1

Violent men have not been known in history to die to a man. They die up to a point Picture Quote #1

I'm not going to lie and say I wasn't really thin at one point, because I was. But it had nothing to do with not eating. I'm not saying that I have more problems than everyone else, but people's weight fluctuates, and five or ten pounds is a lot on me Picture Quote #1

I'm getting to a point where everything is becoming streamlined in my life. I'm learning how to stand onstage for two hours and play in front of thousands of people as if I am completely in the moment every moment Picture Quote #1

Nothing is so beneficial to a young author as the advice of a man whose judgment stands constitutionally at the freezing point Picture Quote #1

For the poet the credo or doctrine is not the point of arrival but is, on the contrary, the point of departure for the metaphysical journey Picture Quote #1

I lost my voice for the first time. I was so bummed out, but it happens to every singer at some point in their career. I don't think most people understand, but I sing every night and sometimes we do five shows in a row, which is really bad for your voice Picture Quote #1

I started singing in church and I was probably around seven and I started singing anywhere that I could. I used to sing at my school. I was in musicals and then it kind of got to a point where I started to - wanted to do my own songs Picture Quote #1

My point is there's a hidden Scotland in anyone who speaks the Northern Ireland speech. It's a terrific complicating factor, not just in Northern Ireland, but Ireland generally Picture Quote #1

I'd like to think I could do something great - a performance like Meryl Streep's in Sophie's Choice - at some point in my life. At the same time, though, I don't want to put too much pressure on myself to be great Picture Quote #1

I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off Picture Quote #1

Many men on the point of an edifying death would be furious if they were suddenly restored to health Picture Quote #1

When I first left Iran at the age of 13, Iran had become such a shining star - it was the point to which all my desires and dreams returned Picture Quote #1

All things on Earth point home in old October; sailors to sea, travellers to walls and fences, hunters to field and hollow and the long voice of the hounds, the lover to the love he has forsaken Picture Quote #1

America has begun her career at the culminating point of life, as Adam did at the age of thirty Picture Quote #1

My view is that marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman. That's the position I've had for some time, and I don't intend to make any adjustments at this point. Or ever, by the way Picture Quote #1

Shall I tell you the secret of the true scholar? It is this: Every man I meet is my master in some point, and in that I learn of him Picture Quote #1

We fancy men are individuals; so are pumpkins; but every pumpkin in the field goes through every point of pumpkin history Picture Quote #1

Chiefly the sea shore has been the point of departure to knowledge, as to commerce. The most advanced nations are always those who navigate the most Picture Quote #1

From the naturalistic point of view, all men are equal. There are only two exceptions to this rule of naturalistic equality: geniuses and idiots Picture Quote #1
