Reckoning Quotes

What, keep a week away? Seven days and nights, Eightscore-eight hours, and lovers’ absent hours More tedious than the dial eightscore times! O weary reckoning! Picture Quote #1

The end of life has its own nature, also worth our attention. I don’t say this without reckoning in the sorrow, the worry, the many diminishments. But surely it is then that a person’s character shines or glooms Picture Quote #1

The evils of war are great in their endurance, and have a long reckoning for ages to come Picture Quote #1

When I made my final reckoning with the decision not to have kids, I also decided that I would use at least some of my extra time to better the lives of kids who are already here Picture Quote #1

As I wrote I began to see more strongly that there were inescapable analogies. You couldn’t really live through the 80s without feeling how crass and distasteful some of the economic doctrines were. The slave trade is a perfect model for that kind of total devotion to the profit motive without reckoning the human consequences Picture Quote #1

What we have lived through, the 20th century, has been like a great party. Adults now have had the best time humanity has ever had. Now the party is over and the Earth is reckoning up Picture Quote #1

It’s clear to me now that I have been moving toward you and you toward me for a long time. Though neither of us was aware of the other before we met, there was a kind of mindless certainty bumming blithely along beneath our ignorance that ensured we would come together. Like two solitary birds flying the great prairies by celestial reckoning, all of these years and lifetimes we have been moving toward one another Picture Quote #1

Not only does travel give us a new system of reckoning, it also brings to the fore unknown aspects of our own self. Our consciousness being broadened and enriched, we shall judge ourselves more correctly Picture Quote #1

This much have I learned: A man's life weighs more than glory, and a price paid in blood is a heavy reckoning Picture Quote #1

Above all things, never think that you're not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. My belief is that in life people will take you very much at your own reckoning Picture Quote #1

Morality without religion is only a kind of dead reckoning - an endeavor to find our place on a cloudy sea by measuring the distance we have run, but without any observation of the heavenly bodies Picture Quote #1

And above all things, never think that you're not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. My belief is that in life people will take you at your own reckoning Picture Quote #1

This is all as true as it is strange; nay, it is ten times true; for truth is truth to th' end of reckoning Picture Quote #1

Ruminates like an hostess that hath no arithmetic but her brain to set down her reckoning Picture Quote #1

So comes a reckoning when the banquet's over, the dreadful reckoning, and men smile no more Picture Quote #1

I must abjure the balm of life, I must, scared by some after - reckoning ta'en on trust, or lured with hope of some diviner drink, to fill the cup - when crumbled into dust! Picture Quote #1

With earth's first clay they did the last man knead, and there of the last harvest sow'd the seed: and the first morning of creation wrote what the last dawn of reckoning shall read Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in providence and fate, as a technologist I am used to reckoning with the formulae of probability Picture Quote #1

There ought to be some other means of reckoning quality in this the best and loveliest of games; the scoreboard is an ass Picture Quote #1

Being an artist means, not reckoning and counting, but ripening like the tree which does not force its sap and stands confidence in the storms of spring without fear that after them may come no summer Picture Quote #1

No one smiled at me, or looked at me twice; shopping has become my time of reckoning; I will never be able to purchase the stardom I have lost Picture Quote #1

Money is different from all other commodities: other things being equal, more shoes, or more discoveries of oil or copper benefit society, since they help alleviate natural scarcity. But once a commodity is established as a money on the market, no more money at all is needed. Since the only use of money is for exchange and reckoning, more dollars or pounds or marks in circulation cannot confer a social benefit: they will simply dilute the exchange value of every existing dollar or pound or mark Picture Quote #1

In physical science a first essential step in the direction of learning any subject is to find principles of numerical reckoning and practicable methods for measuring some quality connected with it. I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely in your thoughts advanced to the stage of science, whatever the matter may be Picture Quote #1

Though many schizophrenics become curiously attached to their delusions, the fading of the nondelusional world puts them in loneliness beyond all reckoning, a fixed residence on a noxious private planet they can never leave, and where they can receive no visitors Picture Quote #1

Humans are addicted to the hope for a final reckoning, but intellectual humility requires that we resist the temptation to assume that tools of the kind we now have are in principle sufficient to understand the universe as a whole Picture Quote #1

To say that a thing is imaginary is not to dispose of it in the realm of mind, for the imagination, or the image making faculty, is a very important part of our mental functioning. An image formed by the imagination is a reality from the point of view of psychology; it is quite true that it has no physical existence, but are we going to limit reality to that which is material? We shall be far out of our reckoning if we do, for mental images are potent things, and although they do not actually exist on the physical plane, they influence it far more than most people suspect Picture Quote #1

You cannot just keep borrowing more and more and keep spending more and more without eventually having a day of reckoning Picture Quote #1

I’ve been pounding the table here for a year or so saying there’s no free lunch, and there is going to be a day of reckoning for every company that thinks they are going to try and sell a free model Picture Quote #1
