Ends And Means Quotes

Show us not the aim without the way. For ends and means on earth are so entangled. That changing one, you change the other too; Each different path brings other ends in view Arthur Koestler
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe quote: "Means must be subsidiary to ends and to our desire for dignity..."
Means must be subsidiary to ends and to our desire for dignity and value. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
Man is a means and not an end, and he is a means to economic or political ends which are not really ends in themselves but means to other ends which in their turn are means and so ad infinitum. Christopher Dawson
As though you could use violent, unjust means and achieve peace and justice! Means determine ends; and must be like the ends proposed. Means intrinsically different from the ends proposed achieve ends like themselves, not like those they were meant to achieve. Aldous Huxley
But it must be seen that the term 'catastrophe' has this 'catastrophic' meaning of the end and annihilation only in a linear vision of accumulation and productive finality that the system imposes on us. Etymologically, the term only signifies the curvature, the winding down to the bottom of a cycle leading to what can be called the 'horizon of the event,' to the horizon of meaning, beyond which we cannot go. Beyond it, nothing takes place that has meaning for us - but it suffices to exceed... Jean Baudrillard
Extraordinarily excessive sensuality it may be .. but it all comes down to the same thing in the end, and one means is surely as good as another, since the end obtained is always the same. In any case the exceptional, endlessly repeated, is no different than the banal; and unceasing recapitulation can add nothing, in the end, to the sum of experience. I am weary and hopeless three times the dupe. Why have you trained me in the shame of abominable sins? Remy de Gourmont
A bunch of different people appear, and they’ve got their own situations and reasons and excuses, and each one is pursuing his or her own brand of justice or happiness. As a result, nobody can do anything. Obviously. I mean, it’s basically impossible for everybody’s justice to prevail or everybody’s happiness to triumph, so chaos takes over. And then what do you think happens? Simple – a god appears in the end and starts directing traffic. “You go over there, and you come here, and you get... Haruki Murakami
If it were true, that old legend about appearing before a supreme judge and naming one’s record, I would offer, with all my pride, not any act I committed, but one thing I have never done on this earth: that I never sought an outside sanction. I would stand and say: I am Gail Wynand, the man who has committed every crime except the foremost one: that of ascribing futility to the wonderful act of existence and seeking justification beyond myself. This is my pride: that now, thinking of the... Ayn Rand
Prayer that craves a particular commodity—anything less than all good, is vicious. Prayer is the contemplation of the facts of life from the highest point of view. It is the soliloquy of a beholding and jubilant soul. It is the spirit of God pronouncing his works good. But prayer as a means to effect a private end is theft and meanness. It supposes dualism and not unity in nature and consciousness. As soon as the man is at one with God, he will not beg. Ralph Waldo Emerson
I want people to understand that I intend to continue living and doing all the things that I love to do up until the end. And the end is by no means rushing up on me. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Henry Hazlitt quote: "Everywhere the means is erected into the end, and the end..."
Everywhere the means is erected into the end, and the end itself is forgotten. Henry Hazlitt
Immanuel Kant quote: "Treat people as an end, and never as a means to an end"
Treat people as an end, and never as a means to an end Immanuel Kant
I try to look at this music career thing as the means to an end. And really, at the end of it, I see myself on a sailboat, sailing off the edge of the world. Michelle Shocked
Immanuel Kant quote: "Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not..."
Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end. Immanuel Kant
To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to the end, and God is the end. Ramakrishna
