Useful Quotes

I’m always trying to find brain food and indulge in knowledge that’s gonna be useful Picture Quote #1

I mean, making simulations of what you’re going to build is tremendously useful if you can get feedback from them that will tell you where you’ve gone wrong and what you can do about it Picture Quote #1

Through your life, most people peel away the junk that’s not useful, that’s superfluous. You are determined to peel that away. I do one thing at a time. One man at a time. One car. One house. One child. One job Picture Quote #1

Whatever you’ve learned becomes truly useful to you only once it has become second nature Picture Quote #1

It might take us a lifetime to find out what it is we need to say. Most of us fall into where our feelings are headed while we’re quite young. But the beauty of all this uncertainty would be that in the process of exhausting all the possibilities, we might actually stumble unconsciously into the recognition of something that’s useful to us, that speaks to a deep need within ourselves. At the same time, I like to think that in order for any of us to really do anything new, we can’t know exactly what it is we are doing Picture Quote #1

Data by itself is not useful. Data is only useful if it can be applied for public benefit Picture Quote #1

It is a great thing to have a big brain, a fertile imagination, grand ideals, but the man with these, bereft of a good backbone, is sure to serve no useful end Picture Quote #1

I began making pictures because I wanted to record what supports hope: the untranslatable mystery and beauty of the world. Along the way, however, the camera also caught evidence against hope, and I eventually concluded that this, too, belonged in pictures if they were to be truthful and thus useful Picture Quote #1

When someone has the wit to coin a useful phrase, it ought to be acclaimed and broadcast or it will perish Picture Quote #1

True, I used to see a lot of hope. I saw men tear down the veils behind which the truth had been hidden. But then the same men, when they have power in their hands at last, began to find the veils useful. They made many more. Life has not changed. Only some people have been growing, becoming different, that is all. After a youth spent fighting the white man, why should not the president discover as he grows older that his real desire has been to be like the white governor himself, to live above all the blackness in the big old slave castle? Picture Quote #1

A young man passes from our public schools to the universities, ignorant almost of the elements of every branch of useful knowledge Picture Quote #1

A few hints as to literary craftsmanship may be useful to budding historians. First and foremost, get writing! Picture Quote #1

To some extent, people who are insane are nonconformists, and society and their family wish they would live what appear to be useful lives Picture Quote #1

No one is so rich that he does not need another’s help; no one so poor as not to be useful in some way to his fellow man; and the disposition to ask assistance from others with confidence and to grant it with kindness is part of our very nature Picture Quote #1

Personally, I don’t see old economics and behavioural economics as opposed. It is useful to assume people are rational as a good approximation to their long term behaviour, but it would be unwise not to think how in practice their behaviour may deviate from that simplifying assumption Picture Quote #1

Fiction is a particular kind of rhetoric, a way of thinking that I think can be useful in your life. It asks you to image the world through someone else’s eyes, and it allows you to try to empathize with situations that you haven’t actually experienced Picture Quote #1

Design and technology should be the subject where mathematical brainboxes and science whizzkids turn their bright ideas into useful products Picture Quote #1

Comparing to another activity is useful if it helps you formulate questions, it’s dangerous when you use it to justify answers Picture Quote #1

If reincarnation is a useful biological idea it is certain that somewhere in the universe it will happen Picture Quote #1

Men tell me that I’ve saved their marriages. It costs them a fortune in shoes, but it’s cheaper than a divorce. So I’m still useful, you see Picture Quote #1

While analogies are useful, however, they can also be misleading. They smuggle in assumptions that can be wrong Picture Quote #1

Anybody who gives away money is mostly looking at things where they think they can make a difference. I’m trying to help people who helped me, educational institutions that helped me with scholarships, or organizations that were very useful to me in growing up Picture Quote #1

I’d rather be useful than rich. It’s more essential to feel you’re doing something that’s worth doing, rather than making a lot of money Picture Quote #1

Love is not reasonable. If we could assign it to the reasonable world, it would not be useful Picture Quote #1

Whether there are innately female leadership styles... is not really the right question. It is more important to ask why there has been so little attention paid to women leaders over the years as well as why the styles of leading more often exhibited by women are particularly useful at this critical moment in history Picture Quote #1

There is no power on earth that can neutralize the influence of a high, simple and useful life Picture Quote #1

However, the balloon, lightened of heavy articles, such as ammunition, arms, and provisions, had risen into the higher layers of the atmosphere, to a height of 4,500 feet. The voyagers, after having discovered that the sea extended beneath them, and thinking the dangers above less dreadful than those below, did not hesitate to throw overboard even their most useful articles, while they endeavored to lose no more of that fluid, the life of their enterprise, which sustained them above the abyss Picture Quote #1
