Value Quotes (page 56)

If I had to make a general rule for living and working with children, it might be this: be wary of saying or doing anything to a child that you would not do to another adult, whose good opinion and affection you valued. John Holt
Gordon Brown quote: "There are values far beyond those of contracts, markets and..."
There are values far beyond those of contracts, markets and exchange Gordon Brown
Everything in my life that I value has been gained at the cost of not saying what I really think and saying what they want me to say. Elizabeth Moon
Aldous Huxley quote: "My mind is so busy thinking about values that I don't have..."
My mind is so busy thinking about values that I don't have time to experience them. Aldous Huxley
If you're honest, you sooner or later have to confront your values. Then you're forced to separate what is right from what is merely legal. This puts you metaphysically on the run. America is full of metaphysical outlaws. Tom Robbins
Since the branch of philosophy on which we are at present engaged differs from the others in not being a subject of merely intellectual interest? I mean we are not concerned to know what goodness essentially is, but how we are to become good men, for this alone gives the study its practical value? we must apply our minds to the solution of the problems of conduct. Aristotle
Oscar Wilde quote: "Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of..."
Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing. Oscar Wilde
Do not depend on the hope of results. You may have to face the fact that your work will be apparently worthless and even achieve no result at all, if not perhaps results opposite to what you expect. As you get used to this idea, you start more and more to concentrate not on the results, but on the value, the rightness, the truth of the work itself. You gradually struggle less and less for an idea and more and more for specific people. In the end, it is the reality of personal relationship... Thomas Merton
Herman Hesse quote: "You've never lived what you are thinking, and that isn't good...."
You've never lived what you are thinking, and that isn't good. Only the ideas we actually live are of any value. Herman Hesse
We tend to think of memories as monuments we once forged and may find intact beneath the weedy growth of years. But, in a real sense, memories are tied to and describe the present. Formed in an idiosyncratic way when they happened, they're also true to the moment of recall, including how you feel, all you've experienced, and new values, passions, and vulnerability. One never steps into the same stream of consciousness twice. Diane Ackerman
Fun is at the core of the way I like to do business and it has been key to everything I've done from the outset. More than any other element, fun is the secret of Virgin's success. I am aware that the ideas of business as being fun and creative goes right against the grain of convention, and it's certainly not how the they teach it at some of those business schools, where business means hard grind and lots of 'discounted cash flows' and net' present values'. Richard Branson
Loveless work, boring work, work valued only because others haven't got even that much, however loveless and boring--this is one of the harshest human miseries. Wislawa Szymborska
Tell me, where in life is there a value that would make us consider suicide uncalled for on principle! Love? Or friendship? I guarantee that friendship is not a bit less fickle than love and it is impossible to build anything on it. Self-love? I wish it were possible. Milan Kundera
What I condemn are our system of values and the men who don't acknowledge how great, difficult, but ultimately beautiful women's share in society is. Anne Frank
To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we can have. Cherish it for what it truly is..... ... Terry Goodkind
