Wes Quotes

The feeling that someone owes us something, the pain for the harm that others caused us, etc., stops the inner progress of the soul Picture Quote #1

What we call the highest and the lowest in nature are both equally perfect. A willow bush is as beautiful as the human form divine Picture Quote #1

More than ambition, more than ability, it is rules that limit contribution; rules are the lowest common denominator of human behavior. They are a substitute for rational thought Picture Quote #1

What I question is the extent to which any of us truly knows what the facts really are. I mistrust every ideal cherished in western democratic civilization. The words that make others smile and nod in agreement cause me to recoil Picture Quote #1

I am an organization person, I believe in individuals banding together. I don’t believe in unilateral actions. Some people don’t like organizations. But it is always awesome to me when you can pool a lot of talent and a lot of people who have so many talents. That is when you really can make your program move Picture Quote #1

Men and women range themselves into three classes or orders of intelligence; you can tell the lowest class by their habit of always talking about persons; the next by the fact that their habit is always to converse about things; the highest by their preference for the discussion of ideas Picture Quote #1

Failure is awesome. Failure means you tried something, you tested it, and you learned some things. Failure gives you the tools to move forward Picture Quote #1

Everyone can be awesome if they want it bad enough. And I don’t believe that anyone wants to be average. I think everybody desires greatness, at least at some point in their life Picture Quote #1

I don’t think college is for everyone. School is awesome, but for me, I was learning a lot more outside the classroom in the real world than I was in school Picture Quote #1

Today I felt like a part of something awesome, the human race. I know it can be ugly; it really is in so many ways. But today there was nothing ugly to see, just people trying to be better. And maybe that’s the key. Not resolutions and forgotten promises, but instead a commitment to do this year a little better than the last. I’m feeling good about this one. I really am Picture Quote #1

There is a strength of quiet endurance as significant of courage as the most daring feats of prowess Picture Quote #1

Compared with the awesome might and eternal power of the ocean, no human being can fail to be reminded of their own insignificance Picture Quote #1

A poet’s freedom lies precisely in the impossibility of worldly success. It is the freedom of one who knows he will never be anything but a failure in the world’s estimation, and may do as he pleases. The poet is a man on the sidelines of life, sidelined for life. He belongs to the aristocracy of the outcast, the lowest of the low, below the salt of the earth. A member of the most ancient regime in the world. One that cannot, it seems, be overthrown Picture Quote #1

We want to see the newest things. That is because we want to see the future, even if only momentarily. It is the moment in which, even if we don’t completely understand what we have glimpsed, we are nonetheless touched by it. This is what we have come to call art Picture Quote #1

I don’t mind if someone thinks I’m a sell out. I go to bed happy knowing I do what I do and I’m not doing anything for reasons of money, and if I were trying to pick up chicks, I’m doing a horrible job. And if I wanted to drive awesome cars, I’m doing a really bad job there too Picture Quote #1

As damaging as the obsessive emphasis on testing often proves to be for kids in general, I believe that the effects are still more harmful in those schools in which the resources available to help the children learn the skills that will be measured by these tests are fewest, the scores they get are predictably the lowest, and the strategies resorted to by principals in order to escape the odium attaching to a disappointing set of numbers tend to be the most severe Picture Quote #1

Film doesn’t have to worry. Movies are awesome. There’s no war going on, theaters aren’t going to lose Picture Quote #1

I thought it reasonable that I should seek the work where the work was the most abundant and the workers fewest Picture Quote #1

... even on the low ground of common sense I seemed to be called to be a missionary. Is the kingdom a harvest field? Then I thought it reasonable that I should seek to work where the work was most abundant and the workers fewest Picture Quote #1

Don’t be misled into believing that somehow the world owes you a living. The boy who believes that his parents, or the government, or any one else owes him his livelihood and that he can collect it without labor will wake up one day and find himself working for another boy who did not have that belief and, therefore, earned the right to have others work for him Picture Quote #1

Western governments... will lose the war against dealers unless efforts are switched to prevention and therapy... All penalties for drug users should be dropped... Making drug abuse a crime is useless and even dangerous... Every year we seize more and more drugs and arrest more and more dealers but at the same time the quantity available in our countries still increases... Police are losing the drug battle worldwide Picture Quote #1

Man, by his very nature, tends to give himself an explanation of the world into which he is born. And this is what distinguishes him from the other species. Every individual, even the least intelligent, the lowest of outcasts, from childhood on gives himself some explanation of the world. And with it he manages to live. And without it, he would sink into madness Picture Quote #1

I have made many mistakes myself; in learning the anatomy of the eye I dare say, I have spoiled a hatfull; the best surgeon, like the best general, is he who makes the fewest mistakes Picture Quote #1

I would define globalization as the freedom for my group of companies to invest where it wants when it wants, to produce what it wants, to buy and sell where it wants, and support the fewest restrictions possible coming from labour laws and social conventions Picture Quote #1

At bank, post office or supermarket, there is one universal law which you ignore at your own peril: the shortest line moves the slowest Picture Quote #1

This is an awesome time to be a knowledge seeker, no better time, but it’s also the best time in history to be a complete idiot Picture Quote #1

There’s an ancient bond that still exists today between horses and humans, it is even there with people that have never ridden a horse or been around horses. The horse is what settled the entire west. If it weren’t for the horse they’d probably be only a couple hundred miles from where they started. A lot of people don’t realize how much they owe the horse because it’s not so much a part of our culture right now as it used to be Picture Quote #1

The awesome thing about failure is that it is only temporary. Embrace it, learn the lesson and come back blazing Picture Quote #1

The secret of successful retailing is to give your customers what they want. And really, if you think about it from the point of view of the customer, you want everything: a wide assortment of good quality merchandise; the lowest possible prices; guaranteed satisfaction with what you buy; friendly, knowledgeable service; convenient hours; free parking; a pleasant shopping experience Picture Quote #1

Modern systematic politics, whether liberal, conservative, radical, or socialist, simply has to be rejected from a standpoint that owes genuine allegiance to the tradition of the virtues; for modern politics itself expresses in its institutional forms a systematic rejection of that tradition Picture Quote #1
