Dealing with Congress is a matter of give and take. The president doesn't get everything he wants, the Congress doesn't get everything they want. But we're finding good common ground. A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it.
George Walker Bush
Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct; but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
Francis Herbert Bradley
What modern art means is that you have to keep finding new ways to express yourself, to express the problems, that there are no settled ways, no fixed approach. This is a painful situation, and modern art is about this painful situation of having no absolutely definite way of expressing yourself.
Louise Bourgeois
And yet in a way I would rather fail point blank. Things one can do have no value. I don't mind feeling small myself, but I dread finding the world is.
Elizabeth Bowen
Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.
Dag Hammarskjold
Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts.
Gary Winogrand
To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them
Elliott Erwitt
Remember that a successful marriage depends on two things: (1) finding the right person and (2) being the right person
Tom Mullen
The first thing to do is to break the circuit between bile and brain by resolutely turning oneÃs thoughts away from the vexatious subject. This does not means finding convincing arguments, but simply breaking off the contact by, for example, forcing oneself to careful observation of some object or another. When the train of thought has thus been redirected, a few moments of mediation will prevent the reaction of the bile from continuing. This small act of control has the highest importance, for it ensures that when the anarchistic Automaton attacks the conscious self, victory shall go to the latter
Isha De Lubicz
As a colored woman I might enter Washington any night, a stranger in a strange land, and walk miles without finding a place to lay my head.... The colored man alone is thrust out of the hotels of the national capital like a leper.... Surely nowhere in the world do oppression and persecution based solely on the color of the skin appear more hateful and hideous than in the capital of the United States, because the chasm between the principles upon which this Government was founded, in which it still professes to believe, and those which are daily practiced under the protection of the flag, yawn so wide and deep.
Mary Church Terrell
We are always paid for our suspicion by finding what we suspect.
Henry David Thoreau
Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.
Dag Hammarskjold
Learning is finding out what you already know, Doing is demonstrating that you know it, Teaching is reminding others that they know it as well as you do. We are all learners, doers, and teachers.
Richard David Bach
Most of our so-called reasoning consists in finding arguments for going on believing as we already do.
James Harvey Robinson
Finding bad reasons for what one believes for other bad reasons - that's philosophy
Aldous Huxley
