The general fact is that the most effective way of utilizing human energy is through an organized rivalry, which by specialization and social control is, at the same time, organized co-operation.
Charles Horton Cooley
Tomorrow night I appear for the first time before a Boston audience 4000 critics
Mark Twain
I don't remember any sibling rivalry growing up, because by the time I was really conscious, Tom was going away to college. My relationship with him, which is a very close one, really developed in more recent years.
David Hyde Pierce
We are sick with fascination for the useful tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas. Meditation is therefore the art of suspending verbal and symbolic thinking for a time, somewhat as a courteous audience will stop talking when a concert is about to begin
Alan Watts
Eternity is not something that begins after you're dead. It is going on all the time. We are in it now.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Love is the emblem of eternity;it confounds all notion of time;effaces all memory of a beginning,all fear of an end.
Anne Louise Germaine de Stael
The cosmos is a vast living body, of which we are still parts. The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins. The moon is a great nerve-center from which we quiver forever. Who knows the power that Saturn has over us, or Venus? But it is a vital power, rippling exquisitely through us all the time.
D. H. Lawrence
No one invites him to come in and sit down he is like a crow in a deserted house. Caught in birth and death, separated from God for such a long time, the whole world is wasting away.
Guru Nanak
There are moments of existence when time and space are more profound, and the awareness of existence is immensely heightened.
Charles Baudelaire
You can only get next to God through the effort of preparation. To experience the uncreated, the state of awareness will have to be held for several minutes. You are then between time and the time-less - waiting for the unknown, which will come but cannot be willed.
Barry Long
If two men on the same job agree all the time, then one is unnecessary. If they disagree all the time, then both are useless.
Darryl Zanuck
If two men on a job agree all the time, then one is useless. If they disagree all the time, then both are useless.
Darryl F. Zanuck
I wondered a little why God was such a useless thing. It seemed a waste of time to have him. After that he became less and less, until he was... nothingness.
Frances Farmer
Golf is the most useless outdoor game ever devised to waste the time and try the spirit of man.
Westbrook Pegler
Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.
Arthur Conan Doyle
