Affair Quotes

Francesco Guicciardini quote: "Affairs that depend on many rarely succeed."
Affairs that depend on many rarely succeed. Francesco Guicciardini
Aesop quote: "Affairs are easier of entrance than of exit; and it is but..."
Affairs are easier of entrance than of exit; and it is but common prudence to see our way out before we venture in. Aesop
There are some militarists who say: ‘We are not interested in politics but only in the profession of arms.’ It is vital that these simple-minded militarists be made to realize the relationship that exists between politics and military affairs. Military action is a method used to attain a political goal. While military affairs and political affairs are not identical, it is impossible to isolate one from the other.” - Mao Zedong, Yu Chi Chan Mao Zedong
Science is the search for the truth--it is not a game in which one tries to beat his opponent, to do harm to others. We need to have the spirit of science in international affairs, to make the conduct of international affairs the effort to find the right solution, the just solution of international problems, and not an effort by each nation to get the better of other nations, to do harm to them when it is possible. I believe in morality, in justice, in humanitarianism. Linus Pauling
I do believe in simplicity. It is astonishing as well as sad, how many trivial affairs even the wisest thinks he must attend to in a day; how singular an affair he thinks he must omit. When the mathematician would solve a difficult problem, he first frees the equation of all incumbrances, and reduces it to its simplest terms. So simplify the problem of life, distinguish the necessary and the real. Probe the earth to see where your main roots run. Henry David Thoreau
There's a large strain of irony in our human affairs... Interwoven with our affairs is this wonderful spirit of irony which prevents us from ever being utterly and irretrievably serious, from being unaware of the mysterious nature of our existence. Malcolm Muggeridge
If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong." Or "She's going to hurt me." Or,"I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ." Well, that's nonsense. You're going to miss life. You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down. Ray Bradbury
Kate Millett quote: "Let's always be having an affair. Wherever we meet, however..."
Let's always be having an affair. Wherever we meet, however many times a year - let it always be an affair. Kate Millett
Helen Gahagan quote: "I realized that public affairs were also my affairs."
I realized that public affairs were also my affairs. Helen Gahagan
Douglas Feith quote: "Our concept is not that America should operate alone or by..."
Our concept is not that America should operate alone or by itself in world affairs or in military affairs. Douglas Feith
I can only say, think of me what you will, I have worked for thirty years in the Party, and my whole family has devoted everything to the affairs of the Party, the affairs of socialism. Alexander Dubcek
Gerard Depardieu quote: "I've had affairs. But I'm not the sort of man who has 10,000..."
I've had affairs. But I'm not the sort of man who has 10,000 affairs. Gerard Depardieu
We need to shift from an economic organizing principle for human civilization, to a humanitarian organizing principle. Making money more important than your own children is a pathological way for an individual to run their affairs, and it's a pathological way for a society to run its affairs. Marianne Williamson
The powers of government exercised locally derive from a federal law authorizing government by consent in local affairs only, unless those affairs are otherwise governed by federal law. Dick Thornburgh
The capacity of the commonwealth government created under the local constitution to exercise governmental powers in local affairs is like that of local government in the states of the union in regard to non-federal affairs at the local level. Dick Thornburgh
