Adequate Means Quotes

At this point, realism is perhaps the least adequate means of understanding or portraying the incredible realities of our existence. Ursula K. Le Guin
The action carries a sense of incompleteness and frustration, but not of guilt. Victorious living does not mean perfect living in the sense of living without flaw, but it does mean adequate living, and that can be consistent with many mistakes. E. Stanley Jones
The fate of a single man can be rich with significance, that of a few hundred less so, but the history of thousands and millions of men does not mean anything at all, in any adequate sense of the word. Stanislaw Lem

Jean Piaget quote: "Knowing reality means constructing systems of transformations..."
Knowing reality means constructing systems of transformations that correspond, more or less adequately, to reality. Jean Piaget
Most of the hotel gym's are not adequate. I mean you might be able to train your arms, but you aren't going to be able to train legs, back, or even chest if they don't have dumbbells and benches. Warren Cuccurullo
I am quite serious when I say that I do not believe there are, on the whole earth besides, so many intensified bores as in these United States. No man can form an adequate idea of the real meaning of the word, without coming here. Warren Buffett
