Valuing Quotes (page 28)

I started my life with a single absolute: that the world was mine to shape in the image of my highest values and never to be given up to a lesser standard, no matter how long or hard the struggle. Ayn Rand
He sighed. It had come to this. He was a responsible authority, and people could use terms like "core values" at him with impunity. Terry Prachett
Deepak Chopra quote: "Mathematics expresses values that reflect the cosmos,..."
Mathematics expresses values that reflect the cosmos, including orderliness, balance, harmony, logic, and abstract beauty. Deepak Chopra
We are fools to depend upon the society of our fellow-men. Wretched as we are, powerless as we are, they will not aid us; we shall die alone. We should therefore act as if we were alone, and in that case should we build fine houses, etc.? We should seek the truth without hesitation; and, if we refuse it, we show that we value the esteem of men more than the search for truth. Blaise Pascal
The process of growing up is to be valued for what we gain, not for what we lose. Not to acquire a taste for the realistic is childish in the bad sense; to have lost the taste for marvels and adventures is no more a matter for congratulation than losing our teeth, our hair, our palate, and finally, our hopes. C. S. Lewis
If we believe in nothing, if nothing has any meaning and if we can affirm no values whatsoever, then everything is possible and nothing has any importance. Albert Camus
It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them. ConfuciusThis is a major problem in America, where greed, power, and money are the highest value. This creates a paranoia atmosphere. I mention this all the time, but first time I have ever seen it. Confucius
Too much and too long, we seem to have surrendered community excellence and community values in the mere accumulation of material things. Robert Kennedy
No matter how much I scream at them to make my toast as crispy as possible, I have never once gotten it the way I want it. I can't imagine why. What with Japanese industriousness and high-tech culture and the market principles that the Denny's chain is always pursuing, it shouldn't be that hard to get crispy toast, don't you think? So, why can't they do it? Of what value is a civilization that can't toast a piece of bread as ordered? Haruki Murakami
Wallace Stegner quote: "To have so little, and it of so little value, was to be..."
To have so little, and it of so little value, was to be quaintly free. Wallace Stegner
I do struggle because I’m attracted to beautiful things, yet at the same time I am actually very aware, in some sense, their lack of value and that the most important things in life are your connections to other people. Tom Ford
Printing mistakes adds value because of the probability calculus, which makes their intrusion into something problematic and almost impossible, even when everything's conceived, precisely, to avoid the intrusion of human error. Romain Gary
He values my understanding and talents more highly than my heart, but I am proud of the latter only. It is the sole source of everything of our strength, happiness, and misery. All the knowledge I possess every one else can acquire, but my heart is exclusively my own. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Jodi Picoult quote: "May be you had to come close to losing something before you..."
May be you had to come close to losing something before you could remember its value. Jodi Picoult
I've learned to do without a lot of things. If you have a lot of things, said Aunt Lydia, you get too attached to this material world and you forget about spiritual values. Margaret Atwood
