Proportion Quotes

Fashion, after all, is magic and miracle…intended to bestow proportion and beauty where both have been lost or faded with the years Picture Quote #1

Yet it ought to be clear that a minimum wage law is, at best, a limited weapon for combatting the evil of low wages, and that the possible good to be achieved by such a law can exceed the possible harm only in proportion as its aims are modest. The more ambitious such a law is, the larger the number of workers it attempts to cover, and the more it attempts to raise their wages, the more likely are its harmful effects to exceed its good effects Picture Quote #1

I sincerely believe that no problem is bigger than man, and problems are blown out of proportion by man himself Picture Quote #1

I love draping; it’s less about proportion than fit and the fabric. It’s very specialized and I think when women see the construction, they respond to it immediately Picture Quote #1

We writers don’t really think about whether what we write is good or not. It’s too much to worry about. We just put the words down, trying to get them right, operating by some inner sense of pitch and proportion, and from time to time, we stick the stuff in an envelope and ship it to an editor Picture Quote #1

Every man is rich or poor according to the proportion between his desires and his enjoyments; any enlargement of wishes is therefore equally destructive to happiness with the diminution of possession, and he that teaches another to long for what he never shall obtain is no less an enemy to his quiet than if he had robbed him of part of his patrimony Picture Quote #1

There is music wherever there is harmony, order and proportion; and thus far we may maintain the music of the spheres; for those well ordered motions, and regular paces, though they give no sound unto the ear, yet to the understanding they strike a note most full of harmony Picture Quote #1

In my opinion painting should be considered excellent in proportion as it approaches the effect of relief, while relief should be considered bad in proportion as it approaches the effect of painting Picture Quote #1

Every fault of the mind becomes more conspicuous and more guilty in proportion to the rank of the offender Picture Quote #1

A work of art is not a matter of thinking beautiful thoughts or experiencing tender emotions, but of intelligence, skill, taste, proportion, knowledge, discipline and industry; especially discipline Picture Quote #1

The beauty of the animal form is in exact proportion to the amount of moral and intellectual virtue expressed by it Picture Quote #1

Any writer worth his salt knows that only a small proportion of literature does nore than partly compensate people for the damage they have suffered in learning to read Picture Quote #1

Take note that, before going any farther, I will give you the exact proportion of a man. Those of a woman I will disregard, for she does not have any set proportion Picture Quote #1

Most inputs are useless and time is wasted in proportion to the amount that is available Picture Quote #1

Business is no longer a matter of profits alone. Profits must come through public confidence, and public confidence is given to any merchant in proportion to the service which he gives to the public Picture Quote #1

There are no limits to your possibilities! Your successes will multiply and increase in proportion to your mastery of the law Picture Quote #1

Our supplies of natural resources are not finite in any economic sense. Nor does past experience give reason to expect natural resources to become more scarce. Rather, if history is any guide, natural resources will progressively become less costly, hence less scarce, and will constitute a smaller proportion of our expenses in future years Picture Quote #1

Every man and woman who has talent and hides it will be called a slothful servant. Improve day by day upon the capital you have. In proportion as we are capacitated to receive, so it is our duty to do Picture Quote #1

The sales tax is the best and most equitable tax. The gasoline tax, which is nothing but a sales tax, has proven painless, productive and punitive. Everything we buy should have its equal proportion of tax, outside of cheap food and cheap clothes Picture Quote #1

Surfaces reveal so much. The marks painters make reveal so much about their work and themselves; their sense of proportion, line, and rhythm is more telling than their signature. Looking at the surfaces of nature may offer equivalent revelations. What do these shapes and patterns reveal about the world and their creator? Surfaces hide so much Picture Quote #1

When homo sapiens is changing, it will not be by the whole race gaining simultaneously whatever qualities better fit it for survival, but rather by certain types of mankind proving superior to the rest in survival value, so that they contribute a larger proportion to the later generations, and in so doing drag the average qualities of humanity in the same direction Picture Quote #1

I cannot believe that a republic could subsist if the influence of the lawyers in public business did not increase in proportion to the power of the people Picture Quote #1

An ignorant man is always able to say yes or no immediately to any proposition. To a wise man, comparatively few things can be propounded which do not require a response with qualifications, with discriminations, with proportion Picture Quote #1

Most people now seem to treasure anything they value in proportion to the extent that it’s followed about and surrounded by the vulgar public Picture Quote #1

In proportion as a man is selfish, so far has he receded from the motive which constitutes virtue Picture Quote #1

To write music is to raise a ladder without a wall to lean it against. There is no scaffolding: the building under construction is held in balance only by the miracle of a kind of internal logic, an innate sense of proportion Picture Quote #1

We see an enlightened teacher to gain a sense of humor, to learn balance and proportion and of course to learn wisdom Picture Quote #1

Nations are less disposed to make revolutions in proportion as personal property is augmented and distributed among them, and as the number of those possessing it is increased Picture Quote #1
