Builds Quotes (page 55)

So, the gods don't hand out all their gifts at once, not build and brains and flowing speech to all. One man may fail to impress us with his looks but a god can crown his words with beauty, charm, and men look on with delight when he speaks out. Never faltering, filled with winning self-control, he shines forth at assembly grounds and people gaze at him like a god when he walks through the streets. Another man may look like a deathless one on high but there's not a bit of grace to crown his... Homer
Mahatma Gandhi quote: "It is easier to build a boy than to mend a man."
It is easier to build a boy than to mend a man. Mahatma Gandhi
John Steinbeck quote: "Maybe you've tumbled a world for me. And I don't know what I..."
Maybe you've tumbled a world for me. And I don't know what I can build in my world's place. John Steinbeck
Leadership is not magnetic personality, that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not "making friends and influencing people", that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to higher sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations. Peter Drucker
Nothing - really, absolutely nothing - says more about Victorian Britain and its capacity for brilliance than that the century's most daring and iconic building was entrusted to a gardener. Bill Bryson
Repentance must dig the foundations, but holiness shall erect the structure, and bring forth the top-stone. Repentance is the clearing away of the rubbish of the past temple of sin; holiness builds the new temple which the Lord our God shall inherit. Repentance and desires after holiness never can be separated. Charles Spurgeon
It is in dialogue with pain that many beautiful things acquire their value. Acquaintance with grief turns out to be one of the more unusual prerequisites of architectural appreciation. We might, quite aside from all other requirements, need to be a little sad before buildings can properly touch us. Alain de Botton
Nay, the same Solomon the king, although he excelled in the glory of treasure and magnificent buildings, of shipping and navigation, of service and attendance, of fame and renown, and the like, yet he maketh no claim to any of those glories, but only to the glory of inquisition of truth; for so he saith expressly, "The glory of God is to conceal a thing, but the glory of the king is to find it out;" as if, according to the innocent play of children, the Divine Majesty took delight to hide His... Francis Bacon
Gustave Flaubert quote: "The sight of so many ruins destroys any desire to build..."
The sight of so many ruins destroys any desire to build shanties; all this ancient dust makes one indifferent to fame. Gustave Flaubert
Yes, I don't believe that the inter-Korean relationship has, quote, 'deteriorated' since I assumed office. Rather I believe that the relationship between the two Koreas is entering into a new phase - a time of transition. And so I think that the North Koreans are trying to see what they can build with this, with my new administration. Lee Myung-bak
As women have played an increasingly important role in politics, there is no question that they've brought a different perspective, focusing attention on a broader set of issues and building alliances with other women. Dee Dee Myers
Dave Mustaine quote: "If I were president of the United States, I'd build a great..."
If I were president of the United States, I'd build a great wall along the Mexican border and not let anybody in. Dave Mustaine
Benito Mussolini quote: "The Liberal State is a mask behind which there is no face; it..."
The Liberal State is a mask behind which there is no face; it is a scaffolding behind which there is no building. Benito Mussolini
You need to be in the position where it is the cost of the fuel that actually matters and not the cost of building the rocket in the first place. Elon Musk
We haven't been out in many of these countries helping them build infrastructure. How would they look at us today if we had been there helping them with some of that, rather than just being the people who are going to bomb in Iraq and go to Afghanistan? Patty Murray
