Built Quotes (page 21)

Well, I could say that I must aspire to build for my client the most comfortable, the most logical, the most beautiful house that can be built. I could say that I must try to sell him the best I have and also teach him to know the best. I could say it, but I won't. Because I don't intend to build in order to have clients. I intend to have clients in order to build. Ayn Rand
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "There was a fire in the wide hearth before them, and it was..."
There was a fire in the wide hearth before them, and it was burning with a sweet smell, as if it were built of apple-wood. J. R. R. Tolkien
There is some of the same fitness in a man's building his own house that there is in a bird's building its own nest. Who knows but if men constructed their dwellings with their own hands, and provided food for themselves and families simply and honestly enough, the poetic faculty would be universally developed, as birds universally sing when they are so engaged? But alas! we do like cowbirds and cuckoos, which lay their eggs in nests which other birds have built, and cheer no traveller with... Henry David Thoreau
Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built on the ruins of the bowers of paradise. Thomas Paine
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "Everyone who has ever built anywhere a new heaven first found..."
Everyone who has ever built anywhere a new heaven first found the power thereto in his own hell. Friedrich Nietzsche
I would hesitate to use the word 'success' in the way many people do. I don't know that I would apply it to what I've done as though I have now reached the ultimate goal. To me success is a continuing thing. It is growth and development. It is achieving one thing and using that as a stepping stone to achieve something else. Success comes as you have confidence in yourself. Self-confidence is built by succeeding, even if the success is small. It is the believing that makes it possible. Walter Knott
Nobody around here had ever seen a lady beekeeper till her. She liked to tell everybody that women made the best beekeepers, 'cause they have a special ability built into them to love creatures that sting. It comes from years of loving children and husbands. Sue Monk Kidd
Hope and Memory have one daughter and her name is Art, and she has built her dwelling far from the desperate field where men hang out their garments upon forked boughs to be banners of battle. O beloved daughter of Hope and Memory, be with me for a while. William Butler Yeats
Every enterprise is a learning and teaching institution. Training and development must be built into it on all levels—training and development that never stop. Drucker, Peter F. (2009-10-13). The Essential Drucker (Collins Business Essentials) (p. 11). HarperCollins e-books. Kindle Edition. Peter Drucker
There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary as in religion," said he, leaning with his back against the shutters. "It can be built up as an exact science by the reasoner. Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its colour are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is... Arthur Conan Doyle
What a strange world it is where you can have as much sex as you like but love is taboo. I'm talking about the real thing, the grand passion, which may not allow affection or convenience or happiness. The truth is that love smashes into your life like an ice floe, and even if your heart is built like the Titanic you go down. That's the size of it, the immensity of it. It's not proper, it's not clean, it's not containable. Jeanette Winterson
Graham Greene quote: "cynicism is cheap - you can buy it at any monoprix store. it's..."
cynicism is cheap - you can buy it at any monoprix store. it's built into all poor-quality goods. Graham Greene
Nora Roberts quote: "I saw you standing on a veranda you'd built with your own..."
I saw you standing on a veranda you'd built with your own hands. And I loved you. Nora Roberts
From time to time it's fun to close our eyes, and in that dark say to ourselves, 'I am the sorcerer, and when I open my eyes I shall see a world that I have created, and for which I and only I am completely responsible.' Slowly then, eyelids open like curtains lifting stage-center. And sure enough, there's our world, just the way we've built it. Richard Bach
Suddenly, madness was everywhere, and I was determined to learn about the impact it had on the way society evolves. I've always believed society to be a fundamentally rational thing, but what if it isn't? What if it is built on insanity? Jon Ronson
