Human Effort Quotes

in addition to the conditions under which life is given to man on earth, and partly out of them, men constantly create their own, self-made conditions, which, their human origins notwithstanding, possess the same conditioning power as natural things. whatever touches or enters into a sustained relationship with human life immediately assumes the character of a condition of human existence. this is why men, no matter what they do, are always conditioned beings. whatever enters the human... Hannah Arendt
The crime of book purging is that it involves a rejection of the word. For the word is never absolute truth, but only man's frail and human effort to approach the truth. To reject the word is to reject the human search. Max Lerner
Music at its best...is the grand archeology into and transfiguration of our guttural cry, the great human effort to grasp in time our deepest passions and yearnings as prisoners of time. Profound music leads us--beyond language--to the dark roots of our scream and the celestialheights of our silence. Cornel West
I emphasize in it [my Orientalism] accortdingly that neither the term Orient nor the concept of the West has any ontological stability; each is made up of human effort, partly affirmation, partly identification of the Other. Edward Said
Carl Jung quote: "Faith, hope, love, and insight are the highest achievements of..."
Faith, hope, love, and insight are the highest achievements of human effort. They are found-given-by experience. Carl Jung
Q.Do you have any positive message, in your opinion? A.Indeed I do think that I do. Q.Such as what? A.The crying, almost screaming, need of a great worldwide human effort to know ourselves and each other a great deal better, well enough to concede that no man has a monopoly on right or virtue any more than any man has a corner on duplicity and evil and so forth. If people, and races and nations, would start with that self-manifest truth, then I think that the world could sidestep the sort of... Tennessee Williams
I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves -- this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty. The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. Without the sense of kinship with men of like mind, without the occupation with the objective world, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific endeavors, life would have seemed empty to me. The trite objects of... Albert Einstein
Corrie Ten Boom quote: "Perhaps only when human effort had done it's best and failed,..."
Perhaps only when human effort had done it's best and failed, would God's power alone be free to work. Corrie Ten Boom
Russell Hoban quote: "Language is an archaeological vehicle... the language we speak..."
Language is an archaeological vehicle... the language we speak is a whole palimpsest of human effort and history. Russell Hoban
Evelyn Waugh quote: "Art is the symbol of the two noblest human efforts: to..."
Art is the symbol of the two noblest human efforts: to construct and to refrain from destruction. Evelyn Waugh
The failure of women to produce genius of the first rank in most of the supreme forms of human effort has been used to block the way of all women of talent and ambition for intellectual achievement. Anna Garlin Spencer
Judah Philip Benjamin quote: "It is a revolution, and it can no more be checked by human..."
It is a revolution, and it can no more be checked by human effort... than a prarie fire by a gardener's watering pot. Judah Philip Benjamin
Human progress never rolls in on the wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of [people] willing to be co-workers with God. Martin Luther King jr.
Effort ceases. Time flaps on the mast. There we stop; there we stand. Rigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame Virginia Woolf
Human vanity is so constituted that it stiffens before difficulties. The more an object conceals itself from our eyes, the greater the effort we make to seize it, because it pricks our pride, it excites our curiosity and it appears interesting. In fighting for his God everyone, in fact, fights only for the interest of his own vanity, which, of all the passions produced bye the mal-organization of society, is the quickest to take offense, and the most capable of committing the greatest follies. Percy Bysshe Shelley
