Upon Quotes

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

No sin is committed merely because a thought enters the mind, provided it is not made welcome. Perhaps we may use the figure that the thought first passes into an anteroom, where it stands before the mind acting as a judge. No matter how sordid or evil, it has not touched the personality with its infamy nor in any way laid guilt upon the soul unless and until the mind acting as judge admits it with a welcome. If the mind decides against it and dismisses it, the personality is not only unsullied but is, on the contrary, by this act of rejection stimulated and strengthened in moral power Picture Quote #1

It is no limitation upon property rights or freedom of contract to require that when men receive from government the privilege of doing business under corporate form... they shall do so under absolutely truthful representations... Great corporations exist only because they were created and safeguarded by our institutions; and it is therefore our right and duty to see that they work in harmony with these institutions Picture Quote #1

Up until now, women have depended completely upon men for their survival. You’re dealing with thousands of years of history, where sexual slavery was the condition. While suddenly the laws may change, to some extent, the conditioning doesn’t go away that fast Picture Quote #1

A woman’s place, her entire experience in life, has been and in many places still is dependent upon the man she marries Picture Quote #1

Woman knowing this was not right but not knowing what else to do, developed the only means to fight for their survival that they had, since their survival was dependent upon men, and that was to use sexuality to survive Picture Quote #1

If her security rests upon her alliance with a man, another woman may take that man away; therefore women have no unity between themselves Picture Quote #1

Great truths that are stumbling blocks to the natural man are nevertheless the very foundations upon which the confidence of the spiritual man is built Picture Quote #1

People are so prone to lean upon gifted men. And if they cannot have such, they get discouraged and scattered, instead of getting lovingly together and helping one another by their mutual faith Picture Quote #1

In reasoning upon moral subjects, we have great occasion for candor, in order to compare circumstances, and weigh arguments with impartiality Picture Quote #1

When I think of the flag... I see alternate strips of parchment upon which are written the rights of liberty and justice, and stripes of blood to vindicate those rights, and then, in the corner, a prediction of the blue serene into which every nation may swim which stands for these great things Picture Quote #1

Answers can suit the relative mind. In the dream we can be thirsty. But upon awaking from the dream, there’s no thirst Picture Quote #1

Know that, as in life, there is much that many have looked upon but few have seen because, as my father told me and his father told him, you will come to learn a great deal if you study the insignificant in depth Picture Quote #1

Zen is the path that focuses the most upon meditation. It is almost exclusively a path of meditation Picture Quote #1

Most people make their choices predicated upon a feeling because analysis really isn’t that good a tool Picture Quote #1

When I first open my eyes upon the morning meadows and look out upon the beautiful world, I thank God I am alive Picture Quote #1

I grew up with my career being thrust upon me. It took me a long time to believe that I could do more than that one aspect of our business Picture Quote #1

All the great spiritual traditions have placed major emphasis upon meditation as a path to personal growth Picture Quote #1

That someone would want another human being to suffer, or would even tolerate the idea, for committing no crime at all but being reasonable, is truly frightening. A religion that breeds such people is a genuine plague upon the earth Picture Quote #1

Lying and cheating in advertising, in the long run, are commercial suicide. Dishonesty in advertising destroys not only confidence in advertising, but also in the medium which carries the dishonest advertisement.... No one can be ill in a community without endangering others; no advertiser can be dishonest without casting suspicion upon others Picture Quote #1

My mother was convinced, and on this head I have retained her firm belief, that to kill animals for the purpose of feeding on their flesh is one of the most deplorable and shameful infirmities of the human state; that it is one of those curses cast upon man either by his fall, or by the obduracy of his own perversity Picture Quote #1

The door of a bigoted mind opens outwards so that the only result of the pressure of facts upon it is to close it more snugly Picture Quote #1

All the stereotypical ‘dude’ geeky things I like are socially acceptable, and all the stereotypical ‘lady’ geeky things I like are frowned upon… Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been impulsive. It’s always been in my nature to consider things carefully and then decide upon the best solution. Except, sometimes the circumstances change. Sometimes things get so complicated and so bad that your nature just doesn’t matter anymore Picture Quote #1

A story can fly like a bee, so straight and swift you catch only the hum of its passing. Or move so slowly it seems motionless, curled in upon itself like a snake in the sun. It can vanish like smoke before the wind. Linger like perfume in the nose. Change with every telling, yet always remain the same Picture Quote #1

The truth is you never can leave home. You take it with you everywhere you go. It’s under your skin. It moves the tongue or slows it, colors the thinking, impedes upon the logic Picture Quote #1

A judge said that all his experience, both as counsel and judge, had been spent sorting out the difficulties of people who, upon the recommendation of people they did not know, signed documents which they did not read, to buy goods they did not need, with money they had not got Picture Quote #1

I quickly learned that reading is cumulative and proceeds by geometrical progression: each new reading builds upon whatever the reader has read before Picture Quote #1

It’s not our job to assess the merit of our vision or judge its importance. It is our job to receive the vision and act upon it Picture Quote #1

I will make an attempt to attain freedom, the youthful soul says to itself; and is it to be hindered in this by the fact that two nations happen to hate and fight one another, or that two continents are separated by an ocean, or that all around it a religion is taught with did not yet exist a couple of thousand years ago. All that is not you, it says to itself. No one can construct for you the bridge upon which precisely you must cross the stream of life, no one but you yourself alone Picture Quote #1
