Less Quotes (page 51)

Nothing amuses me more than the easy manner with which everybody settles the abundance of those who have a great deal less than themselves. Jane Austen
All I know is that you can get very little from a book that is making you weep with the effort of reading it. You won’t remember it, and you’ll learn nothing from it, and you’ll be less likely to choose a book over Big Brother next time you have a choice. Nick Hornby
Bill Watterson quote: "I think nighttime is dark so you can imagine your fears with..."
I think nighttime is dark so you can imagine your fears with less distraction. Bill Watterson
I too had woven a kind of basket of a delicate texture, but I had not made it worth any one's while to buy them. Yet not the less, in my case, did I think it worth my while to weave them, and instead of studying how to make it worth men's while to buy my baskets, I studied rather how to avoid the necessity of selling them. Henry David Thoreau
There should be less talk; a preaching point is not a meeting point. What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough. Mother Teresa
What then is the intellectual advantage of civilization over primitive savagery? It is not necessarily that each civilized man has more knowledge but that he requires far less. Thomas Sowell
The Specters feast as vampires feast on blood, but the Specter? food is attention. A conscious and informed interest in the world. The immaturity of children is less attractive to them. Philip Pullman
Be fearless. Have the courage to take risks. Go where there are no guarantees. Get out of your comfort zone even if it means being uncomfortable. The road less traveled is sometimes fraught with barricades bumps and uncharted terrain. But it is on that road where your character is truly tested And have the courage to accept that you’re not perfect nothing is and no one is — and that’s OK. Katie Couric
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "Art isn't meaningless... It is in itself. It isn't in that it..."
Art isn't meaningless... It is in itself. It isn't in that it tries to make life less so. F. Scott Fitzgerald
So my antagonist said, "Is it impossible that there are flying saucers? Can you prove that it's impossible?" "No", I said, "I can't prove it's impossible. It's just very unlikely". At that he said, "You are very unscientific. If you can't prove it impossible then how can you say that it's unlikely?" But that is the way that is scientific. It is scientific only to say what is more likely and what less likely, and not to be proving all the time the possible and impossible. Richard P. Feynman
1983:To my generation has now come the challenge. In the days to come we will be tested on whether we have the moral courage, the realism, the idealism, the tenacity, and the ability to sacrifice some of the current comfort to invest in the future... I believe that this generation will rise to the challenge... The experts believe that, like the Democratic Party itself, the less than forty-year-old voters are prepared to sell their souls for some security, real or illusory. They have misjudged... Joe Biden
Charles Bukowski quote: "We don’t even ask happiness, just a little less pain."
We don’t even ask happiness, just a little less pain. Charles Bukowski
What makes the prospect of death distinctive in the modern age is the background of permanent technological and sociological revolution against which it is set, and which serves to strip us of any possible faith in the permanence of our labours. Our ancestors could believe that their achievements had a chance of bearing up against the flow of events. We know time to be a hurricane. Our buildings, our sense of style, our ideas, all of these will soon enough be anachronisms, and the machines... Alain de Botton
Terry Goodkind quote: "I am who I am; no more, no less."
I am who I am; no more, no less. Terry Goodkind
Emile M. Cioran quote: "To look for a meaning in anything is less the act of a naif..."
To look for a meaning in anything is less the act of a naif than of a masochist. Emile M. Cioran
