Less Is More Quotes (page 7)

Pure in heart means to be sing-hearted... to will one thing- God. All (Jesus)'s moments flowed from His single-heartedness, from His intimacy with God. That was His core. Christianity is full of paradoxes and this is one of the strangest. When we are centered in God alone, we are able to relate to more of life and the world, and find more meaning in them. In some way a centered life becomes wider and fuller. To form one's life around this single perspective enables us to deal with more... Sue Monk Kidd
He is very fond of me, almost too fond. I could do with less caressing and more rationality. I should like to be less of a pet and more of a friend, if I might choose; but I won't complain of that: I am only afraid his affection loses in depth where it gains in ardour. I sometimes liken it to a fire of dry twigs and branches compared with one of solid coal, very bright and hot; but if it should burn itself out and leave nothing but ashes behind. Anne Bronte
I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer. Benjamin Franklin
If the sphere of paradox-religion is abolished, or explained away in aesthetics, an Apostle becomes neither more nor less than a genius, and then--good night, Christianity! Esprit and the Spirit, revelation and originality, a call from God and genius, all end by meaning more or less the same thing. Soren Kierkegaard
Leo Tolstoy quote: "The more is given the less the people will work for..."
The more is given the less the people will work for themselves, and the less they work the more their poverty will increase. Leo Tolstoy

An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing. Nicholas M. Butler
We have, on the whole, more liberty and less equality than Russia has. Russia has less liberty and more equality. Whether democracy should be defined primarily in terms of liberty or equality is a source of unending debate. Reinhold Niebuhr
The ceaseless, senseless demand for original scholarship in a number of fields, where only erudition is now possible, has led either to sheer irrelevancy, the famous knowing of more and more about less and less, or to the development of a pseudo-scholarship which actually destroys its object. Hannah Arendt
In fact, the individual outlook becomes less and less valuable and more and more harmful unless it is transmitted into the corporate outlook. John Grierson
Remy de Gourmont quote: "We live less and less, and we learn more and more. Sensibility..."
We live less and less, and we learn more and more. Sensibility is surrendering to intelligence. Remy de Gourmont
Paul Gillmor quote: "We are putting more and more power into a system which is less..."
We are putting more and more power into a system which is less and less able to carry it reliably. Paul Gillmor
William J. Mayo quote: "A specialist is a man who knows more and more about less and..."
A specialist is a man who knows more and more about less and less. William J. Mayo
There is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one side stands more of less for progress, the other side more or less for reaction. George Orwell
I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing; a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil. Thomas Carlyle
Nicholas M. Butler quote: "An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less."
An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less. Nicholas M. Butler
