~ Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don't over-analyse your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness. ~
~ We are all inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals; others, by their acts. ~
~ I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. ~
~ Most of us serve our ideals by fits and starts. The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication. ~
~ Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you reach your destiny. ~
~ The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully have been kindness, beauty, and truth ~
~ The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist; it is by the ideal that we live. ~
~ Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished ~
~ All men are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened. ~
~ Living up to ideals is like doing everyday work with your Sunday clothes on. ~
~ Idealism increases in direct proportion to one's distance from the problem. ~
~ Ideals are great arrows, but there has to be a bow. And politics is the bow of idealism.
