Advantage Quotes (page 12)

What is reasoning? It is the result of doing away with the vital distinction which separates subjectivity and objectivity. As a form of abstract thought reasoning is not profoundly dialectical enough; as an opinion and a conviction it lacks full-blooded individuality. But where mere scope is concerned, reasoning has all the apparent advantage; for a thinker can encompass his science, a man can have an opinion upon a particular subject and a conviction as a result of a certain view of life,... Soren Kierkegaard
It seemed an advantage to be traveling alone. Our responses to the world are crucially moulded by whom we are with, we temper our curiosity to fit in with the expectations of others...Being closely observed by a companion can inhibit us from observing others; we become taken up with adjusting ourselves to the companion's questions and remarks, we have to make ourselves seem more normal than is good for our curiosity. Alain de Botton
Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion, and empathy. Dean Koontz
There’s a lot of things wrong with this country, but one of the few things still right with it is that a man can steer clear of the organized bullshit if he really wants to. It’s a goddamned luxury, and if I were you, I’d take advantage of it while you can. Hunter S. Thompson
The old adage, 'If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is' isn't always correct. In fact, the suspicion, cynicism, and doubt that are inherent in this belief can and does keep people from taking advantage of excellent opportunities. Richard Carlson
If you choose to use your status and influence to raise your voice on behalf of those who have no voice; if you choose to identify not only with the powerful, but with the powerless; if you retain the ability to imagine yourself into the lives of those who do not have your advantages, then it will not only be your proud families who celebrate your existence, but thousands and millions of people whose reality you have helped transform for the better. We do not need magic to change the world,... J. K. Rowling
Sir Thomas saw repeated, and for ever repeated reason to rejoice in what he had done for them all, and acknowledge the advantages of early hardship and discipline, and the consciousness of being born to struggle and endure. Jane Austen
They could not understand the advantage of living contrary to their inclinations in this world in order to enjoy a hypothetical well-being in another. Isabel Allende
Henry James quote: "and the great advantage of being a literary woman, was that..."
...and the great advantage of being a literary woman, was that you could go everywhere and do everything. Henry James
Mark Twain quote: "The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who..."
The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read. Mark Twain
If the way to do good to my country were to render myself popular, I could easily do it. But extravagant popularity is not the road to public advantage. John Adams
Idries Shah quote: "Water shrinks wool, urgency shrinks time. Shrinkage may be an..."
Water shrinks wool, urgency shrinks time. Shrinkage may be an advantage or the reverse, according to expectation. Idries Shah
Whenever you feel like criticising anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had. F. Scott Fitzgerald
I do not know why I care," Drizzt answered honestly. His eyes turned back to his ancient homeland, where loyalty was merely a device to gain an advantage over a common foe. "Perhaps I care because I strive to be different from my people," he said, as much to himself as to Bruenor. "Perhaps I care because I am different from my people. I may be more akin to race of the surface...that is my hope at least. I care because I have to care about something. R. A. Salvatore
But I don't care what Megan Fox or Jessica Biel say: There are definite advantages to being the hottest girl on the planet. Number one was that I got paid for it. A lot. Meg Cabot
