Tradition Quotes

Tradition usually rests upon something which men did know; history is often the manufacture of the mere liar Picture Quote #1

Tradition is the living faith of dead people to which we must add our chapter while we have the gift of life. Traditionalism is the dead faith of living people who fear that if anything changes, the whole enterprise will crumble Picture Quote #1

Over the years, I learned so much from mom. She taught me about the importance of home and history and family and tradition. She also taught me that aging need not mean narrowing the scope of your activities and interests or a diminution of the great pleasures to be had in the everyday Picture Quote #1

Food, in the end, in our own tradition, is something holy. It’s not about nutrients and calories. It’s about sharing. It’s about honesty. It’s about identity Picture Quote #1

I need to make an okay living. The people who work for us need to. But after you make a comfortable living, how much more do you need? It’s like I make a joke about nerd values, because I’m very much in the rich nerd tradition. And you know, we say, like, hey, people pay us for this stuff, like programming. You know, what else do we need? Picture Quote #1

When men are oppressed, it’s a tragedy. When women are oppressed, it’s tradition Picture Quote #1

I’d rather be at the end of a dying tradition, which I admire, than at the beginning of a tradition which I deplore Picture Quote #1

Human beings need to belong to a tradition and equally need to know about the world in which they find themselves Picture Quote #1

As beautiful as simplicity is, it can become a tradition that stands in the way of exploration Picture Quote #1

America has a long and rich tradition of generosity that began with simple acts of neighbor helping neighbor Picture Quote #1

Although contemporary advertising is relatively young, it already has a considerable tradition. Each new ad is encountered against a background of thousands of earlier ads Picture Quote #1

We should not forget that our tradition is one of protest and revolt and that it is stultifying to celebrate the rebels of the past...while we silence the rebels of the present Picture Quote #1

Amazing tradition. They throw a great party for you on the one day they know you can’t come Picture Quote #1

More and more are turning to photography as a medium of expression as well as communication. The leavening of aesthetic approaches continues. While it is too soon to define the characteristic of the photographic style today, one common denominator, rooted in tradition, seems in the ascendancy. The direct use of the camera for what it can do best, and that is the revelation, interpretation, and discovery of the world of man and of nature. The greatest challenge to the photographer is to express the inner significance through the outward form Picture Quote #1

Capitalism is the only society in human history in which neither tradition nor conscious direction supervises the total effort of the community; it is the only society in which the future, the needs for tomorrow, are entirely left to an automatic system Picture Quote #1

Songwriters I’ve always been drawn to are people who deal with something of depth in the lyric writing... I’ve always been influenced by the folk song, the storytelling tradition in folk music. And so for years I wrote mostly story songs. I still do that, but as I’ve gone on, it’s gotten a little more personal. I used to write mostly in the third person. I write a little more in the first person now Picture Quote #1

To preserve the integrity of the tradition, we have to distinguish between what is central to that integrity and what is peripheral. We have to discern between what elements are vital for the survival of dharma practice and what are alien cultural artefacts that might obstruct that survival Picture Quote #1

Each time the dharma moved into a different civilization or historical period, it faced a twofold challenge: to maintain its integrity as an internally coherent tradition, and to express its vision in a way that responded to the needs of the new situation Picture Quote #1

Luckily, however, life doesn’t always follow tradition, but craves out a path of its own Picture Quote #1

Actually I have a tradition that I always steal my last costume on the last day of filming Picture Quote #1

The spirit of tanka interests me more than following rigid conventions. As I understand it, the tradition allows a variety of approaches, from simple description and heartfelt expression to classical allusion and evocative wordplay. Succeeding generations rediscover and renew the form so that it retains its vitality Picture Quote #1

It’s so dangerous to idealize anything, or anyone, or any place, because it gives that thing or person or place a kind of permission to not have to change, and not have to evolve. It encourages us to bury our heads in the sand, or in values that are really morally neutral but that we pretend are moral goods: tradition, community and family for example Picture Quote #1

When words such as painting and sculpture are used, they connote a whole tradition and imply a consequent acceptance of this tradition, thus placing limitations on the artist who would be reluctant to make art that goes beyond the limitations Picture Quote #1

As a matter of constitutional tradition, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we presume that governmental regulation of the content of speech is more likely to interfere with the free exchange of ideas than to encourage it. The interest in encouraging freedom of expression in a democratic society outweighs any theoretical but unproven benefit of censorship Picture Quote #1

Tradition lives because young people come along who catch its romance and add new glories to it Picture Quote #1

Tradition is the living faith of the dead. Traditionalism is the dead faith of the living Picture Quote #1

... for centuries there has been a long and honorable tradition of women who have resisted and protested against men and their power Picture Quote #1

The modern tradition of equating death with an ensuing nothingness can be abandoned. For there is no reason to believe that human death severs the quality of the oneness in the universe Picture Quote #1

No literature is richer than that of the sea. No story is more enthralling, no tradition is more secure Picture Quote #1

I haven’t come across any recent new ideas in film that strike me as being particularly important and that have to do with form. I think that a preoccupation with originality of form is more or less a fruitless thing. A truly original person with a truly original mind will not be able to function in the old form and will simply do something different. Others had much better think of the form as being some sort of classical tradition and try to work within it Picture Quote #1
