Useless Quotes

Letting go is freedom. When you find yourself in a useless battle, you merely walk off the battlefield Picture Quote #1

Do not encumber your mind with useless thoughts. What good does it do to brood on the past or anticipate the future? Remain in the simplicity of the present moment Picture Quote #1

Human behaviour reveals uniformities which constitute natural laws. If these uniformities did not exist, then there would be neither social science nor political economy, and even the study of history would largely be useless. In effect, if the future actions of men having nothing in common with their past actions, our knowledge of them, although possibly satisfying our curiosity by way of an interesting story, would be entirely useless to us as a guide in life Picture Quote #1

One principal reason why men are so often useless is that they neglect their own profession or calling, and divide and shift their attention among a multitude of objects and pursuits Picture Quote #1

True science is distinctively the study of useless things. For the useful things will get studied without the aid of scientific men. To employ these rare minds on such work is like running a steam engine by burning diamonds Picture Quote #1

Some tools of thought are so blunt that they are almost useless; others are so sharp that they are dangerous. But the wise man will have the use of both kinds Picture Quote #1

Tribe follows tribe, nations follow nations like the tides of the sea. It is the order of nature, and regret is useless Picture Quote #1

Technological society leads to increasing numbers of people who cannot adapt to the inhuman rhythm of modern life with its emphasis on specialization. A class of people is growing up who are unexploitable because they are not worth employing even for the minimum wage. Technological progress makes whole categories of people useless without making it possible to support them with the wealth produced by the progress Picture Quote #1

It is good to come to a country you know practically nothing about. Your thoughts grow still, useless. Everything must be rebuilt. In a country you know nothing about, there is no reference point. You struggle to associate colors, smells, dim memories. You live a little like a child, or an animal. Objects and events may bring things to mind, but in the end they remain no more than what they are in fact. They begin only when you experience them, vanish when others follow Picture Quote #1

Take what’s useful, leave out what’s useless, and add a bit of yourself! Picture Quote #1

What we lack is a basic willingness to see literature as providing some kind of necessary foundation. Our society still expects schools to prepare their charges for work only and not for life. As such, literature is construed as at best technically useless and random, at worst socially disruptive Picture Quote #1

Regret is useless in life. It’s in the past. All we have is now Picture Quote #1

Remember that life’s length is not measured by its hours and days, but by that which we have done therein. A useless life is short if it lasts a century. There are greater and better things in us all, if we would find them out. There will always be in this world – wrongs. No wrong is really successful. The day will come when light and truth and the just and the good shall be victorious and wrong as evil will be no more forever Picture Quote #1

Look don’t sit there behind the computer like a useless vegetable and tell me how to train Picture Quote #1

Research your own experience. Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own Picture Quote #1

Once a kata has been learned, it must be practised repeatedly until it can be applied in an emergency, for knowledge of just the sequence of a kata in karate is useless Picture Quote #1

The constitution ought to secure a genuine militia and guard against a select militia... All regulations tending to render this general militia useless and defenseless, by establishing select corps of militia, or distinct bodies of military men, not having permanent interests and attachments to the community ought to be avoided Picture Quote #1

Ideas are useless unless used. The proof of their value is in their implementation. Until then, they are in limbo Picture Quote #1

Even if their child is useless, parents will not find them shameful. But if you’re an outstanding child, you don’t have the right to find your parents shameful Picture Quote #1

In cities it is useless to look at the stars or to describe them, worship them, or seek direction from them. When lost, one should follow the tracks of the camels Picture Quote #1

Think of yourselves as a hand. Each of you is a finger, and without the others you’re useless. Alone, a finger can’t grasp, or control, or form a fist. You are nothing on your own, and everything together Picture Quote #1

People in suburbia see trees differently than foresters do. They cherish every one. It is useless to speak of the probability that a certain tree will die when the tree is in someone’s backyard... You are talking about a personal asset, a friend, a monument, not about board feet of lumber Picture Quote #1

The inlet of a man’s mind is what he learns; the outlet is what he accomplishes. If his mind is not fed by a continued supply of new ideas which he puts to work with purpose, and if there is no outlet in action, his mind becomes stagnant. Such a mind is a danger to the individual who owns it and is useless to the community Picture Quote #1

Look at the evils of the world around you and protect yourself from them. Our teachers give all the wrong messages to our youth, since they take away the natural flare from the soul. Take it from me that all knowledge is useless until it is connected with your life, because the purpose of knowledge is nothing but to show you the splendors of yourself! Picture Quote #1

Providence is like a curious piece of tapestry made of a thousand shreds, which, single, appear useless, but put together, they represent a beautiful history to the eye Picture Quote #1

I’ve always believed that a beautiful shoe is useless unless it feels as wonderful as it looks Picture Quote #1
