There is only one thing that it requires real courage to say, and that is a truism.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
The achievement of happiness requires not the ... satisfaction of our needs ... but the examination and transformation of those needs.
Stanley Louis Cavell
Change does not necessarily assure progress, but progress implacably requires change. Education is essential to change, for education creates both new wants and the ability to satisfy them.
Henry Steele Commager
The people have given us the duty to defend them, and that duty sometimes requires the violent restraint of violent men.
George Walker Bush
If form follows function, as we know it does in this Universe, then consciousness will adapt to whatever form it requires in order to function. Hopefully, it will also develop its fundamental function; what that is may be debatable within many schools of thought, but it is indisputable that evolved thinking recognizes the universality of Life.
Vanna Bonta
Clear thinking requires courage rather than intelligence.
Thomas S. Szasz
A memorable quote requires a shake of semantic shenanigans and a pinch of poetic pulchritude.
Rain Bojangles
Unlike the small community, where every person lives in the illusion of having the same ideals, beliefs, and values as everyone else, in the larger context of plural communities-be it in country, continent, or globe we live in the illusion of absolute difference. So, fearing the possibility that the interaction will change us, we magnify the threat involved in engaging with that which differs from us. Change is stressful, and costly, because it requires learning to navigate the unfamiliar. In the end, you cannot work with anyone who is different, and problems that could be resolved if we allowed everyone to contribute the best of themselves begin to look intractable.
Hafsat Abiola
For everybody knows that it requires very little to satisfy the gentlemen, if a woman will only give her mind to it.
Margaret Oliphant
Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times.
Aeschylus
There is a satisfactory boniness about grammar which the flesh of sheer vocabulary requires before it can become a vertebrate and walk the earth.
Anthony Burgess
The Republican form of government is the highest form of government: but because of this it requires the highest type of human nature, a type nowhere at present existing.
Herbert Spencer
Real worth requires no interpreter: its everyday deeds form its emblem.
Nicolas Chamfort
I was very lucky to come through at the time I did, with the growing interest and demand for animation and animators - it requires a great deal of patience and a good eye for detail.
Annette Funicello
