Conflict Quotes (page 10)

Jared Diamond quote: "Much of human history has consisted of unequal conflicts..."
Much of human history has consisted of unequal conflicts between the haves and the have-nots. Jared Diamond
To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West - know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. Barack Obama
How many of us have conflicts with someone else- and how many of us pray for that person? We have individuals with whom we are competitive, or whom we dislike or have a quarrel with; but very few of us have true enemies in the martial sense. And yet if Lincoln could pray fervently- and contemporary reports indicate he did- for the people who were opposing him, how much more can we do for someone we just find a little irritating? John Wooden
We believed that it was most desirable that the North should win, we believed in the principle that the Union is indissoluable, we, or many of us at least, also believed that the conflict was inevitable, and that slavery had lasted long enough. But we equally believed that those who stood against us held just as sacred conviction that were the opposite of ours, and we respected them as every men with a heart must respect those who give all for their belief. Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
American poetry has been part of a culture in conflict....We are a people tending toward democracy at the level of hope; at another level, the economy of the nation, the empire of business within the republic, both include in their basic premise the idea of perpetual warfare Muriel Rukeyser
There has always been, and there is now, a profound conflict of interest between the people and the government of the United States. Howard Zinn
Hate is just as injurious to the hater as it is to the hated. Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Many of our inner conflicts are rooted in hate. This is why the psychiatrists say, "Love or perish." Hate is too great a burden to bear. Martin Luther King jr.
She couldn’t read his expression. As he started toward her, she recalled the way he’d seemed to glide through the sand the first time she’d ever seen him; she remembered their kiss on the boat dock the night of his sister’s wedding. And she heard again the words she’d said to him on the day they’d said good-bye. She was besieged by a storm of conflicting emotions—desire, regret, longing, fear, grief, love. There was so much to say, yet what could they really begin to say in this awkward... Nicholas Sparks
You'll come back, because yours is an error of knowledge, not a moral failure, not an act of surrender to evil, but only the last act of being victim to your own virtue. We'll wait for you and when you come back, you will have discovered that there need never be any conflict among your desires, nor so tragic a clash of values as the one you've borne so well. Ayn Rand
To allow oneself to be carried away. By a multitude of conflicting concerns, To surrender to too many demands,... To commit oneself to too many projects, To want to help everyone with everything. Is to succumb to violence. Thomas Merton
If only it were possible to love without injury – fidelity isn’t enough: I had been faithful to Anne and yet I had injured her. The hurt is in the act of possession: we are too small in mind and body to possess another person without pride or to be possessed without humiliation. In a way I was glad that my wife had struck out at me again – I had forgotten her pain for too long, and this was the only kind of recompense I could give her. Unfortunately the innocent are always involved in any... Graham Greene
David Ogilvy quote: "Hard work never killed a man. Men die of boredom,..."
Hard work never killed a man. Men die of boredom, psychological conflict, and disease. They do not die of hard work. David Ogilvy
The deepest, the only theme of human history, compared to which all others are of subordinate importance, is the conflict of scepticism with faith. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Zbigniew Brzezinski quote: "To resolve conflicts, excessive ambitions and one's own fears..."
To resolve conflicts, excessive ambitions and one's own fears and aspirationis must be sacrificed. Zbigniew Brzezinski
The secret of realizing the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment of existence is: to live dangerously! Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius! Send your ships out into uncharted seas! Live in conflict with your equals and with yourselves! Be robbers and ravagers as soon as you ca not be rulers and owners, you men of knowledge! The time will soon past when you could be content to live concealed int he woods like timid deer! Friedrich Nietzsche
