Skill Quotes

And so I conclude that blood lives and is nourished of itself and in no way depends on any other part of the body as being prior to it or more excellent... So that from this we may perceive the causes not only of life in general... but also of longer or shorter life, of sleeping and waking, of skill, of strength and so forth Picture Quote #1

Unless the chemist learns the language of mathematics, he will become a provincial and the higher branches of chemical work, that require reason as well as skill, will gradually pass out of his hands Picture Quote #1

In life most of us are highly skilled at suppressing action. Bad improvisers block action often with a high degree of skill. Good improvisers develop action Picture Quote #1

Speech is highly elliptical. It would scarcely be endurable otherwise. Ellipsis is indispensable to the writer or speaker who wants to be brief and pithy, but it can easily cause confusion and obscurity and must be used with skill Picture Quote #1

When we are very young, we tend to regard the ability to use a colon much as a budding pianist regards the ability to play with crossed hands: many of us, when we are older, regard it as a proof of literary skill, maturity, even of sophistication; and many; whether young, not so young, or old, employ it gauchely, haphazardly, or at best inconsistently Picture Quote #1

Bear in mind that brains and learning, like muscle and physical skill, are articles of commerce. They are bought and sold. You can hire them by the year or by the hour. The only thing in the world not for sale is character Picture Quote #1

The cynic is his own worst enemy. It requires far less skill to run a wrecking company than it does to be an architect Picture Quote #1

Wildness we might consider as the root of the authentic spontaneities of any being. It is that wellspring of creativity whence comes the instinctive activities that enable all living beings to obtain their food, to find shelter, to bring forth their young: to sing and dance and fly through the air and swim through the depths of the sea. This is the same inner tendency that evokes the insight of the poet, the skill of the artist and the power of the shaman Picture Quote #1

Songwriting is a really fortunate skill to have to frame living and to find new ways to observe things you’re going through Picture Quote #1

Boxing isn’t just about brute strength; it’s about skill and outwitting your opponent Picture Quote #1

Yesterday they called it coincidence. Today it’s synchronicity. Tomorrow they’ll call it skill Picture Quote #1

If your sleight of hand causes you to break eye contact with your audience, it is too advanced for your skill level Picture Quote #1

Starting in high school and continuing through our higher education system, we must ensure our students are on the right path to acquiring marketable skills that will lead to a productive and satisfying career. My goal is for every student to get a job after they graduate – not move back in with his or her parents. To do that, we must emphasize skill attainment in our community colleges and universities, use our resources more efficiently and measure success in a comprehensive way Picture Quote #1

In the past, it was expected that about three years were required to learn a single kata, and usually even an expert of considerable skill would only know three, or at most five, kata Picture Quote #1

Also, it’s not the mathematical skill that’s critical to winning, it’s the discipline of being able to stick to the system. There are very few people who can withstand the losses emotionally and still stick with the system. Probably only one in five hundred people has the necessary discipline to be successful Picture Quote #1

Art is a language. It’s not a skill. It’s not a stunt. It’s not something that you just learn to do and put it down. It comes from the heart Picture Quote #1

The capacity to learn is a gift; The ability to learn is a skill; The willingness to learn is a choice Picture Quote #1

Saying no isn’t easy, but it’s a required skill if you wish to have any degree of focus in your life. If you say yes too often, you’ll likely fall into the common trap of saying yes to the good while simultaneously saying no to the best Picture Quote #1

Nothing is more satisfying than to write a good sentence. It is no fun to write lumpishly, dully, in prose the reader must plod through like wet sand. But it is a pleasure to achieve, if one can, a clear running prose that is simple yet full of surprises. This does not just happen. It requires skill, hard work, a good ear, and continued practice Picture Quote #1

The very act of committing an experience to the page is necessarily an act of reduction, and regardless of craft or skill, vision or voice, the result is a story beholden to and inevitably eclipsed by source material Picture Quote #1

Writing is a skill, not a talent, and this difference is important because a skill can be improved by practice Picture Quote #1

Stabilizing the climate is not about saving the human species... Stabilizing the climate is a precious opportunity to pass on to all future human beings gifts of immense value, gifts that, once gone, will be beyond the imagination and skill of humanity to recreate Picture Quote #1

Skill in the digital age is confused with mastery of digital tools, masking the importance of understanding materials and mastering the elements of form Picture Quote #1

It is possible to achieve mastery of a problem or a skill without hurting another person or even without attempting to conquer Picture Quote #1

All the elements of good writing depend on the writer’s skill in choosing one word instead of another Picture Quote #1

Between the amateur and the professional... there is a difference not only in degree but in kind. The skillful man is, within the function of his skill, a different psychological organization... A tennis player or a watchmaker or an airplane pilot is an automatism but he is also criticism and wisdom Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I possess any skill that anyone else doesn’t have. I’ve just had perhaps more of an opportunity, more of an exposure, and been fortunate to survive a lot of situations that many other weren’t so lucky to make it. It’s not how close can you get to the ground, but how precise can you fly the airplane. If you feel so careless with you life that you want to be the world’s lowest flying aviator you might do it for a while. But there are a great many former friends of mine who are no longer with us simply because they cut their margins to close Picture Quote #1

Changing the destructive things you say to yourself when you experience the setbacks that life deals all of us is the central skill of optimism Picture Quote #1

There is absolutely no single aspect of one’s personality that is more important to develop than empathy, which is not a skill at which men typically are asked to excel. I believe empathy is not only the core of art, literature and music, but should also be at the core of society, from ethics to economics Picture Quote #1

As players see themselves getting better through skill sessions, they will want to get in the gym more Picture Quote #1
