Venie Quotes

I spit upon luxurious pleasures, not for their own sake, but because of the inconveniences that follow them Picture Quote #1

How can I tolerate the slightest inconvenience to them, the women, the children, the sick, the aged, the blind, the decrepit, that come for counsel, consolation, courage and cure? Picture Quote #1

One inconvenience... may attend bold and arduous attempts: frequent failure may discourage. This evil, however, is not more pernicious than the slow proficiency which is the natural consequence of too easy tasks Picture Quote #1

Some people think or expect that you should make the same kinds of art forever because it creates a convenient narrative... I want my work to embody my inherent contradictions Picture Quote #1

What is undeniable is that when comforts and convenience sap our energies and idealism, inactivity secretes sloth in to our minds like a poison in the blood Picture Quote #1

A philosopher might find the general work unsophisticated, and scientists are often bemused by esoteric talk of zombies, supervenience, and possible worlds Picture Quote #1

It is one thing to be awakened to injustice and quite another to be willing to be inconvenienced and interrupted to do something about it Picture Quote #1

It is the philosophers, theologians, and evangelists who are said to be filled with pride and bigotry due to the strong convictions that they represent. On the contrary, teachings can be either taken or dismissed; whereas voting is the only thing the average person can do to force everyone to live how they would prefer. A simple vote is among the largest yet most acceptable forms of bigotry, and that is because people play the card only when they feel that in doing so it conveniences themselves Picture Quote #1

Never threaten, because a threat is a promise to pay that it isn’t always convenient to meet, but if you don’t make it good it hurts your credit. Save a threat till you’re ready to act, and then you won’t need it Picture Quote #1

Every object and purpose of justice is effectually answered, and every supposed inconvenience is effectually rebutted by the law as it stands Picture Quote #1

Words are our servants, not our masters. For different purposes, we find it convenient to use words in different senses Picture Quote #1

One function of the intellect is to catalog. But cataloging doesn’t change anything. If we call it a rose, or by any other name, it still smells as sweet. The name doesn’t really matter. It is convenient for us Picture Quote #1

The plain fact is that we are starving people, not deliberately in the sense that we want them to die, but wilfully in the sense that we prefer their death to our own inconvenience Picture Quote #1

Now that I have all the things I once thought would make me happy, they have little meaning for me. Experience, and not just a little heartache, has taught me money buys convenience and conveniences Picture Quote #1

There is nothing so depressing as a constant contemplation of one’s self, and the greatest moral cowardice in the world’s opinion comes from consulting one’s own personal convenience Picture Quote #1

Committee meetings are always held at inconvenient times and usually take place in dark, dusty rooms the temperatures of which are unsuited to the human body Picture Quote #1

People who have escaped from poverty are like old soldiers. In later years they recount the little, amusing incidents that happened infrequently, and conveniently forget the long, unrelieved stretches of misery and boredom Picture Quote #1

Society, by insisting on conventions, has merely insisted on certain convenient signs by which we may know that a man is considering, in daily life, the comfort of other people Picture Quote #1

Although intelligence tests are usually speed tests for the sake of convenience, it is debatable whether speed has any rightful place in the basic concept of intelligence Picture Quote #1

As convenient as it is for information to come to us, libraries do have a valuable side effect: they force all of the smart people to come together in one place where they can interact with one another Picture Quote #1

I think that any time you look at the fact that boycotts have historically led to change, whatever temporary inconvenience there may be, it in the long run leads toward, in my opinion, a better change for everybody Picture Quote #1

Unfortunately, nature seems unaware of our intellectual need for convenience and unity, and very often takes delight in complication and diversity Picture Quote #1

Another merit of home is that it preserves the diversity between individuals. If we were all alike, it might be convenient for the bureaucrat and the statistician, but it would be very dull, and would lead to a very unprogressive society Picture Quote #1

It was easy in the early nineties to make a list of great things that could be done, now that there was such a convenient source of entangled pairs. Anton’s claim to fame is that he went and did them Picture Quote #1

I love the short story for being round, suggestive, insinuating, microcosmic. The story has both the inconvenience and the fascination of new beginnings Picture Quote #1

I found that dance, music, and literature is how I made sense of the world... it pushed me to think of things bigger than lifes daily routines... to think beyond what is immediate or convenient Picture Quote #1

Change doesnt always mean progress, but the status quo isnt always the best result either. It is merely the most convenient Picture Quote #1

For a moment I had a view of a world that seemed to wear a vast and dismal aspect of disorder, while, in truth, thanks to our unwearied efforts, it is as sunny an arrangement of small conveniences as the mind of man can conceive Picture Quote #1

Its tempting to work more than 60 hours a week and sacrifice sleep, not move, and eat bad foods as they are convenient. But this comes with a cost Picture Quote #1

It can be a challenge, but my legacy, at least for the people who came before me, is you don’t run from challenges because that’s more comfortable and convenient Picture Quote #1
