Satisfying Quotes (page 29)

Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness, is the unshaking need for an unshakable God. My pretty Black brother was my Kingdom Come. Maya Angelou
Never; he will not: Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale. Her infinite variety: other women cloy. The appetites they feed: but she makes hungry. Where most she satisfies; William Shakespeare
These beings have no other status, but that of cultivating the idea of beauty in their own persons, of satisfying their passions, of feeling and thinking.... Contrary to what many thoughtless people seem to believe, dandyism is not even an excessive delight in clothes and material elegance. For the perfect dandy, these things are no more than the symbol of the aristocratic superiority of his mind. Charles Baudelaire
Every nation that has ended in tyranny has come to that end by way of good order. It certainly does not follow from this that peoples should scorn public peace, but neither should they be satisfied with that and nothing more. A nation that asks nothing of government but the maintenance of order is already a slave in the depths of its heart; it is a slave of its well-being, ready for the man who will put it in chains. Alexis de Tocqueville
Benjamin Franklin quote: "Tis easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all..."
Tis easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all that follow it. Benjamin Franklin
When I examine my mind and try to discern clearly in the matter, I cannot satisfy myself that there are any such things as poetical ideas. No truth, it seems to me, is too precious, no observation too profound, and no sentiment too exalted to be expressed in prose. The utmost I could admit is that some ideas do, while others do not, lend themselves kindly to poetical expression; and that those receive from poetry an enhancement which glorifies and almost transfigures them, and which is not... A. E. Housman
It was very satisfying knowing I could come in not really knowing what I was going to do, and at the end of the session feeling that I'd really done interesting guitar work and knowing that I'd really contributed to the music. Ronnie Montrose
I love my career right now, and I won't be with anybody until they make my life as satisfying and as happy as my work makes me. Olivia Munn
Grandma Moses quote: "I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and..."
I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it. Grandma Moses
This bored fantastic woman, with her animal nature, giving herself the pleasure of seeing her enemy struck down, not a particularly keen one for her because she is so weary of having all her desires satisfied. Gustave Moreau
Matthew Modine quote: "I bought all the stuff, but nothing was as satisfying to me as..."
I bought all the stuff, but nothing was as satisfying to me as using the Rolleiflex because it was one shot. Matthew Modine
Theater is just so much more satisfying than film or television just because you deliver the whole thing from start to finish in one evening, and you can tell if people have enjoyed it or not. That's great to do every night to go in front of a full room of people and tell the story. There's nothing like that really. Jonny Lee Miller
John Stuart Mill quote: "I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires,..."
I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them. John Stuart Mill
The intrusions of the white race and the non- compliance with treaty obligations have been followed by atrocities that could alone satisfy a savage and revengeful spirit. Nelson A. Miles
There can be no doubt that the average man blames much more than he praises. His instinct is to blame. If he is satisfied he says nothing; if he is not, he most illogically kicks up a row. Golda Meir
