One of the most remarkable of man's characteristics is his capacity for becoming used to conditions of almost any kind, whether good or bad, both in the self and in the environment, and once he has become used to such conditions they seem to him both right and natural. This capacity is a boon when it enables him to adapt himself to conditions which are desirable, but it may prove a great danger when the conditions are undesirable. When his sensory appreciation is untrustworthy, it is possible for him to become so familiar with seriously harmful conditions of misuse of himself that these malconditions will feel right and comfortable. ~ F. Matthias Alexander
Appreciation quotes by F. Matthias Alexander
Fast reading of a great novel will get us the plot. It will get us names, a shadowy idea of characters, a sketch of settings. It will not get us subtleties, small differentiations, depth of emotion and observation, multilayered human experience, the appreciation of simile and metaphor, any sense of context, any comparison with other novels, other writers. Fast reading will not get us cadence and complexities of style and language. It will not get us anything that enters not just the conscious mind but the unconscious. It will not allow the book to burrow down into our memory and become part of ourselves, the accumulation of knowledge and wisdom and vicarious experience which helps to form us as complete human beings. It will not develop our awareness or add to the sum of our knowledge and intelligence. Read parts of a newspaper quickly or an encyclopaedia entry, or a fast-food thriller, but do not insult yourself or a book which has been created with its author's painstakingly acquired skill and effort, by seeing how fast you can dispose of it. ~ Susan Hill
Appreciation quotes by Susan Hill
For it is only an appreciation of his love that can motivate genuine obedience. ~ Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
Appreciation quotes by Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
Every morning when I wake up, I kiss her forehead as symbol of gratitude and appreciation and she repays me back with a lovely smile. ~ M.F. Moonzajer
Appreciation quotes by M.F. Moonzajer
I only own something because someone somewhere sacrificed in order to create the situation where I have the opportunity to own it. And therefore, the more I own the more I owe. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Appreciation quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
We don't value craftsmanship anymore! All we value is ruthless efficiency, and I say we deny our own humanity that way! Without appreciation for grace and beauty, there's no pleasure in creating things and no pleasure in having them! Our lives are made drearier, rather than richer! How can a person take pride in his work when skill and care are considered luxuries! We're not machines! We have a human need for craftsmanship! ~ Bill Watterson
Appreciation quotes by Bill Watterson
The reaction was immediate. The blood flow was in proportion to how much the painting was liked. ~ Semir Zeki
Appreciation quotes by Semir Zeki
Five Great Habits for Better Relationships: acceptance (smile each time), appreciation (say thank you to everyone), admiration (compliment people on their appearance or clothing, etc.), approval (praise immediately, specifically and repeatedly), and attention (be a good listener). ~ Brian Tracy
Appreciation quotes by Brian Tracy
Gratitude is the spirit of graceful sacred-existence. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Appreciation quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Men are often miserable in relationships because they feel their partner takes them for granted, or shows him no appreciation for the things he gets right. ~ Matthew Hussey
Appreciation quotes by Matthew Hussey
We don't have to meet people where they are, we just have to love them where they are to find any sort of peace. This is something I learned from being my mother's child. ~ Jodi Livon
Appreciation quotes by Jodi Livon
...nobody owes you anything, so when you get something, be appreciative. ~ Jason Reynolds
Appreciation quotes by Jason Reynolds
Our obligation to others and a gift to ourselves is to acknowledge and authentically express genuine appreciation for courtesies, caring and concern others have given us. ~ Michael Josephson
Appreciation quotes by Michael Josephson
There is no wine in the world as heady as applause; and it has the same effect. It temporarily subdues anxiety and restores confidence. ~ Khushwant Singh
Appreciation quotes by Khushwant Singh
Wake up. Watch the beauty of the dawn and the rising sun. Appreciate the beauty and your ability to appreciate it. Without your appreciation, there is no beauty. The sun created you to see her own beauty through your eyes. Find and appreciate all of the beauty around you. Life is for appreciation, love, and happiness. We express our love through appreciation and through love our souls feel the secret touch of happiness. ~ Debasish Mridha
Appreciation quotes by Debasish Mridha
It is better not to call anything to anybody - just remain centered in yourself. Look at the world and drop judgments, and you will have such a pure atmosphere around you - no appreciation, no condemnation, just a pure watchfulness. This watchfulness, I call meditation. ~ Rajneesh
Appreciation quotes by Rajneesh
Before success comes patience ... when we add to our accomplishments the element of hard work over a long period of time, we'll place a far greater value on the outcome. When we are patient, we'll have a greater appreciation of our success. ~ John Wooden
Appreciation quotes by John Wooden
One of the Godlike things of this world is the veneration done to human worth by the hearts of men. ~ Thomas Carlyle
Appreciation quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Only now do we value every breath that escapes our lips. Perhaps now we will learn to be grateful. ~ Saim .A. Cheeda
Appreciation quotes by Saim .A. Cheeda
I understand you're the reason we made it out of the harbor alive."
"I suspect there were a lot of reasons," said Inej.
"I'm a reason," Jesper offered helpfully.
"All the same," said Matthias, ignoring him. "Thank you."
They moved on, and Jesper saw a pleased grin playing over Inej's lips.
"Surprised?" he asked.
"A bit," she admitted. "I spend so much time with Kaz. I guess - "
"It's a novelty to feel appreciated. ~ Leigh Bardugo
Appreciation quotes by Leigh Bardugo
Long ago I used to mutter (as you probably do), "Very interesting," and cast a desperate glance around for the punch-bowl. This banal comment fools no one, least of all the artist, and you quickly find you have lost a friend and alienated a roomful of people, all of whom are pretending they like the pictures with a grim kind of appreciation. ~ Sydney J. Harris
Appreciation quotes by Sydney J. Harris
My heart is filled with gladness. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Appreciation quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
A pat on the back is only a few vertebrae removed from a kick in the pants, but is miles ahead in results. ~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Appreciation quotes by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Time sped. And the poet through sorrow Became like his suffering kind. Again he toiled over his poems To lighten the grief of his mind ... ~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Appreciation quotes by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
You want the approval of those with whom you come in contact. You want recognition of your true worth. You want a feeling that you are important in your little world. You don't want to listen to cheap, insincere flattery, but you do crave sincere appreciation. You want your friends and associates to be, as Charles Schwab put it, "hearty in their approbation and lavish in their praise." All of us want that. So let's obey the Golden Rule, and give unto others what we would have others give unto us. How? When? Where? The answer is: All the time, everywhere. ~ Dale Carnegie
Appreciation quotes by Dale Carnegie
The imagination is the medium of appreciation in every field. The engagement of the imagination is the only thing that makes any activity more than mechanical. Unfortunately, it is too customary to identify the imaginative with the imaginary, rather than with a warm and intimate taking in of the full scope of a situation. ~ John Dewey
Appreciation quotes by John Dewey
The mailman delivered mail in the rain
The cashier got yelled at on her birthday
The doctor watched a person die
The heroes we know about but don't appreciate enough ~ Lidia Longorio
Appreciation quotes by Lidia Longorio
If you want to be reminded of the love of the Lord, just watch the sunrise. ~ Jeannette Walls
Appreciation quotes by Jeannette Walls
In a certain sense, these people have a better appreciation of the Church and of Catholicism than many Catholics have: an appreciation which is detached and intellectual and objective. But they never come into the Church. They stand and starve in the doors of the banquet -- the banquet to which they surely realize that they are invited -- while those more poor, more stupid, less gifted, less educated, sometimes even less virtuous than they, enter in and are filled at those tremendous tables. ~ Thomas Merton
Appreciation quotes by Thomas Merton
You grow up with a heightened sense of the Civil Rights Movement, but I think it wasn't until I became of age that I really had a great appreciation for the struggle that took place. ~ Terri Sewell
Appreciation quotes by Terri Sewell
Not only have I made films about the subject, but I've largely funded them on my own, so I'm fully committed to doing whatever I can to change the audience's respect and appreciation for the ocean. In 100 years I want whales, dolphins and sharks to still be around, and the ocean to be a healthier place. ~ Greg MacGillivray
Appreciation quotes by Greg MacGillivray
Appreciation has the amazing habit of bringing more reasons to be grateful for. ~ Isabella Koldras
Appreciation quotes by Isabella Koldras
Tolerance should, strictly speaking, be only a passing mood; it ought to lead to acknowledgment and appreciation. To tolerate a person is to affront him. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Appreciation quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
I think the tingles are important. They are real, and I am in favor of their survival. But they are not the basis for a satisfactory marriage. I am not suggesting that on should marry without the tingles. Those warm, excited feelings, the chill bumps, that sense of acceptance, the excitement of the touch that make up the tingles serve as the cherry on top of the sundae. But you cannot have a sundae with only the cherry. ~ Gary Chapman
Appreciation quotes by Gary Chapman
Authentic joy is not a euphoric state or a feeling of being high. Rather, it is a state of appreciation that allows us to participate full in our lives. We train in the rejoicing in the good fortune of self and others. ~ Pema Chodron
Appreciation quotes by Pema Chodron
Incapacity to appreciate certain types of beauty may be the condition sine qua non for the appreciation of another kind; the greatest capacity both for enjoyment and creation is highly specialized and exclusive, and hence the greatest ages of art have often been strangely intolerant. The invectives of one school against another, perverse as they are philosophically, are artistically often signs of health, because they indicate a vital appreciation of certain kinds of beauty, a love of them that has grown into a jealous passion. ~ George Santayana
Appreciation quotes by George Santayana
Everyone just wasting time because they have so much of it to waste, minutes slipping by on who's with who and did you hear. ~ Lauren Oliver
Appreciation quotes by Lauren Oliver
I would like to extend to you our deep appreciation and thanks for the position the United States has taken in support of the democratization process that has taken place in Tunisia, in Egypt, and what is attempting to take place in Libya. ~ Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani
Appreciation quotes by Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani
If the people in a relationship were able to get rid of this torment within and replace it with happiness, love, and a sense of well-being, they would never think to hurt another human being. They would be filled with an understanding of others and an appreciation of others and have an ability to reconcile differences without any violence whatsoever, to reconcile differences in a very loving way, a very happy way. ~ David Lynch
Appreciation quotes by David Lynch
Live your life as if each moment is your last. This isn't about going crazy. It's about appreciation. ~ Rachel Van Dyken
Appreciation quotes by Rachel Van Dyken
Families have become models for public life, constructing friendships between individuals of different temperaments, ambitions and ages, even if they are often unsuccessful. People now want, above all, appreciation of their uniqueness. ~ Theodore Zeldin
Appreciation quotes by Theodore Zeldin
Upgrade your past by seeing it with appreciation. ~ Alan Cohen
Appreciation quotes by Alan Cohen
The older I get, the more I seem to be able to appreciate my "neighbor" (whomever I happen to be with at the moment). Oh, sure, I've always tried to love my neighbor as myself; however, the more experiences I've had, the more chances I've had to see the uniqueness of each person... as well as each tree, and plant, and shell, and cloud... the more I find myself delighting every day in the lavish gifts of God, whom I've come to believe is the greatest appreciator of all. ~ Fred Rogers
Appreciation quotes by Fred Rogers
It's an appreciation for life generally, every bit of life, the smallest creature that lives in the intestines of termites that make termite life possible - to the leaves that turn out oxygen and grab carbon dioxide and with water make simple sugars that feed much of the world. I mean, these are everyday miracles. ~ Sylvia Earle
Appreciation quotes by Sylvia Earle
Powerful words, a soft embrace, & facial expression that can warm your heart. Growth shows you to appreciate what you didn't before. ~ April Mae Monterrosa
Appreciation quotes by April Mae Monterrosa
SHE holds the hand to help you in your First Step,
She is your First Teacher,

Do You know Who is 'SHE'??
'SHE' is Mother your own MOM ... ~ Debolina Bhawal
Appreciation quotes by Debolina Bhawal
Marcus, whose appreciation of wine began and ended with what color it was, nodded uncertainly. ~ Django Wexler
Appreciation quotes by Django Wexler
Appreciation and recognition are qualities that most leaders forget, but desperately need, to build a positive, passionate and engaged workplace. ~ Tony Dovale
Appreciation quotes by Tony Dovale
Love is made up of three unconditional properties in equal measure: 1. Acceptance 2. Understanding 3. Appreciation Remove any one of the three and the triangle falls apart. Which, by the way, is something highly inadvisable. Think about it - do you really want to live in a world of only two dimensions? So, for the love of a triangle, please keep love whole. ~ Vera Nazarian
Appreciation quotes by Vera Nazarian
Relationships are based on four principles: respect, understanding, acceptance and appreciation. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Appreciation quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Exposition, criticism, appreciation, is work for second-rate minds. I ~ G.H. Hardy
Appreciation quotes by G.H. Hardy
I don't know what people find or like in me, I'm hopelessly commonplace! Current appreciation of my work is a bit highbrow, I've always considered myself a popular artist. ~ Maxfield Parrish
Appreciation quotes by Maxfield Parrish
Spanking is a one handed round of applause in appreciation of a magnificent Ass. ~ Anonymous
Appreciation quotes by Anonymous
The point of reading is not reading but living. Reading helps you live with greater appreciation, keener insight and heightened emotional awareness. ~ Steve Leveen
Appreciation quotes by Steve Leveen
The greatest gift is a portion of thyself. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Appreciation quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
. . .many conservation biologists assert the importance of scientists being able to communicate the spontaneous inner experience and appreciation for the creatures they investigate, claiming that no one has more expertise, or right, to express a love for nature than those who have given their lives to its study. ~ Fred Van Dyke
Appreciation quotes by Fred Van Dyke
Accept yourself. Love yourself just as you are. Your finest work, your best moments, your joy, peace, and healing come when you love yourself. You give a great gift to the world when you do that. You give others permission to do the same: to love themselves. Revel in self love. Roll in it. Bask in it, as you would the sunshine. ~ Melody Beattie
Appreciation quotes by Melody Beattie
Most of what's around us we take for granted. We ignore it. Appreciation-spending time looking for the good-helps us overcome one of the primary limitations to enjoying the wealth we already have: ignoreance. ~ Peter McWilliams
Appreciation quotes by Peter McWilliams
Roses aren't any less beautiful because they don't live long. No one looks at them and thinks, man, what a tragedy they'll only be around for a little while. You just appreciate them while they're there. Or if you don't, you're missing the point. ~ Sophie Cameron
Appreciation quotes by Sophie Cameron
To realize the value of 1 week, ask an editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize the value of 10 years, ask a newly divorced couple. To realize the value of 4 years, ask a graduate. To realize the value of 1 year, ask a student who has failed their final exam. To realize the value of 9 months, ask a mother who has given birth to a stillborn. To realize the value of 1 mont, ask a mother who has given birth prematurely. To realize the value of 1 minute, ask a person who missed the train, bus or plane. To realize the value of 1 second, ask a person who has survived an accident. To realize the value of freedom ask a person who's in prison. To realize the value of success, ask a person who has failed. To realize the value of a friend, relative, family member or partner, LOSE ONE." Time waits for no-one, treasure every split-second. ~ Katlego Semusa
Appreciation quotes by Katlego Semusa
This world has never failed to disappoint
And it has its way to teach me that the best thing you may do is running back to yourself
Make a therapy out of your favorite things;
Read for your favorite authors,
Listen to music,
Write love notes to yourself,
And enjoy solitude between the walls of your room.
The world is so cold outside, so learn to enjoy the warmth of those details you have always had but never learned to appreciate … ~ Samiha Totanji
Appreciation quotes by Samiha Totanji
Religion is hard work. Its insights are not self-evident and have to be cultivated in the same way as an appreciation of art, music, or poetry must be developed. ~ Karen Armstrong
Appreciation quotes by Karen Armstrong
Sure you don't want any?"
He shrugged and leaned toward me. "Okay, I'll take some."
Which I'd so not expected, and which had me wondering what I was supposed to do now. Stick my spoon in his mouth?
I felt a cold drip on the hand holding the carton and realized my spoon was suspended and the ice cream was starting to melt. I extended it toward him, watched as his mouth closed around my spoon. Now what? I was so not used to feeding guys.
He wrapped his hand around my wrist and guided my hand back. I watched appreciation glide over his face like hot fudge over a banana split.
"It tastes like you," he said.
The heat rushed into my face. "Uh, yeah, my lip balm…same flavor."
"I think it just became my favorite ice cream."
Ookaay. So was that an endorsement of my kiss? ~ Rachel Hawthorne
Appreciation quotes by Rachel Hawthorne
Our appreciations, it was felt, could be so much more inclusive if we said that something, instead of being beautiful, was 'interesting'. ~ Susan Sontag
Appreciation quotes by Susan Sontag
I love my life! Even if I don't get what I want, when I want it, doesn't mean the world is against me, it just means God has other plans. ~ Andrea Jones
Appreciation quotes by Andrea Jones
Everyone who loves life is an artist at heart. Although it is sometimes difficult to love our world and our lot in life, failure to find the ability to love life and express appreciation for our world is tantamount to not existing at all. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Appreciation quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Up until doing this movie, I hadn't really paid a huge amount of attention to those genres, but after finishing this movie, it really gave me a different sense of appreciation of the way the movies play out. ~ Chiaki Kuriyama
Appreciation quotes by Chiaki Kuriyama
It is a melancholy experience for a professional mathematician to find himself writing about mathematics. The function of a mathematician is to do something, to prove new theorems, to add to mathematics, and not to talk about what he or other mathematicians have done. Statesmen despise publicists, painters despise art-critics, and physiologists, physicists, or mathematicians have usually similar feelings: there is no scorn more profound, or on the whole more justifiable, than that of the men who make for the men who explain. Exposition, criticism, appreciation, is work for second-rate minds. ~ G.H. Hardy
Appreciation quotes by G.H. Hardy
People crave attention and appreciation more than they do bread. ~ Mother Teresa
Appreciation quotes by Mother Teresa
The hardest thing to attain ... is the appreciation of difference without insisting on superiority. ~ George Saintsbury
Appreciation quotes by George Saintsbury
On what high-performing companies should be striving to create: A great place for great people to do great work. ~ Marilyn C. Nelson
Appreciation quotes by Marilyn C. Nelson
I was reminded ... the way that wood crumbles into dissolution.'
'The release of energy. Perhaps a better way of seeing it.'
'Such release is ever fatal.'
'Among plants, yes,' said Caladan Brood.
Among plants ... 'I think of the breath we give them - our gift.'
'And the breath they give back,' said the warlord, 'that burns if touched. I am fortunate, I think,' he continued, 'that I have no appreciation for irony. ~ Steven Erikson
Appreciation quotes by Steven Erikson
It was a warship, after all. It was built, designed to glory in destruction, when it was considered appropriate. It found, as it was rightly and properly supposed to, an awful beauty in both the weaponry of war and the violence and devastation which that weaponry was capable of inflicting, and yet it knew that attractiveness stemmed from a kind of insecurity, a sort of childishness. It could see that - by some criteria - a warship, just by the perfectly articulated purity of its purpose, was the most beautiful single artifact the Culture was capable of producing, and at the same time understand the paucity of moral vision such a judgment implied. To fully appreciate the beauty of the weapon was to admit to a kind of shortsightedness close to blindness, to confess to a sort of stupidity. The weapon was not itself; nothing was solely itself. The weapon, like anything else, could only finally be judged by the effect it had on others, by the consequences it produced in some outside context, by its place in the rest of the universe. By this measure the love, or just the appreciation, of weapons was a kind of tragedy. ~ Iain M. Banks
Appreciation quotes by Iain M. Banks
To have a few things is a comfort, reward and privilege. To own much and plenty is a duty and task on one's forehead. To waste creates agony and miserableness. Having less is a teacher of hope and guidance yet above all life is paramount because life neither needs less or much. To love less is a celebration of life because life neither needs much or less. Life is greater than less or much; to love life is an appreciation of life that is incorruptible, that will lead to life without anxiety. ~ David Ssembajjo
Appreciation quotes by David Ssembajjo
Change irritation to appreciation
Patience doesn't just happen, but must be cultivated. It is all a matter of attitude. ~ Kentetsu Takamori
Appreciation quotes by Kentetsu Takamori
Words so easily and yet unfortunately uttered by many, be it to express their appreciation of fried bits of potatoes to sports teams on the television. Words offered so frivolously about a variety of subjects and yet can be the most difficult, most painful, most meaningful, most cherished syllables we gift another person. ~ Heather Lyons
Appreciation quotes by Heather Lyons
Everything is an appreciation, even an insult provided you look at it with that angle. ~ Vipin Behari Goyal
Appreciation quotes by Vipin Behari Goyal
He loved me. He'd loved me as long as he he'd known me! I hadn't loved him as long perhaps, but now I loved him equally well, or better. I loved his laugh, his handwriting, his steady gaze, his honorableness, his freckles, his appreciation of my jokes, his hands, his determination that I should know the worst of him. And, most of all, shameful though it might be, I loved his love for me. ~ Gail Carson Levine
Appreciation quotes by Gail Carson Levine
A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others. ~ Mustafa Kemal Ataturk
Appreciation quotes by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk
Appreciation and respect are mutual needs. We may be wired differently as men and women, but some needs are parallel human needs. ~ Cathy Burnham Martin
Appreciation quotes by Cathy Burnham Martin
Money is a symbol of that life force, of its appreciation. Money can be a solidified form of love. Through the transfer of money, we facilitate love and communication with other humans. It offers us a simple system of providing for and loving and nurturing ourselves, and it is one way of expressing generosity and kindness for the less fortunate. ~ Stuart Wilde
Appreciation quotes by Stuart Wilde
Wine appreciation is not a simple sum of its parts any more than poetry appreciation is an arithmetic notation of its similes, alliterations, or rhythmic
style. Most complex flavor perceptions are cerebral creations. They start from the detection of separate sensations, but it is their combined interactions
that generate odor memories. Only the unique combinations of multiple sensations generate the typical fragrance of an object, be it wine, coffee,
lilacs, or fried bacon. ~ Roland S. Jackson
Appreciation quotes by Roland S. Jackson
Teaching is not only a profession, but it a is a purpose of a great life. ~ Debasish Mridha
Appreciation quotes by Debasish Mridha
But if you never passed through a storm, than you'd have no appreciation for the rainbow ~ Elisabeth Grace
Appreciation quotes by Elisabeth Grace
There are slavish souls who carry their appreciation for favors done them so far that they strangle themselves with the rope of gratitude. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Appreciation quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Appreciation is not an otherworldly or good treat which we may take or push away as per the minute's impulses, and in either case without material outcomes. Appreciation is the very bread and meat of profound and good wellbeing, separately and all things considered. What was the seed of deterioration that tainted the antiquated's heart world past the purpose of perfect remedy ... ? What was it however selfishness? ~ Noel 'Razor' Smith
Appreciation quotes by Noel 'Razor' Smith
Is the brain designed to make us flare in anger when we think we are being attacked? Fine - but most of us learn to count to ten and find alternatives to beating the other guy with a cudgel. An appreciation of how dissonance works, in ourselves and others, gives us some ways to override our wiring. And protect us from those who can't. ~ Carol Tavris
Appreciation quotes by Carol Tavris
Men are seldom underrated; the mercury in a man finds its true level in the eyes of the world just as certainly as it does in the glass of a thermometer. ~ Josh Billings
Appreciation quotes by Josh Billings
If you don't appreciate what you have in life right now, whatever it is, you will never realize your purpose. Without appreciation, you will never become strong enough to respect yourself. ~ Caroline Myss
Appreciation quotes by Caroline Myss
Mindfulness has to do with waking up and living in harmony with oneself and with the world. It is examining who we are, constantly questioning our views of the world and our place in it, while cultivating appreciation for the fullness of each moment we are alive. It is the direct opposite of taking life for granted. It is empowering as well, because paying attention in this way opens channels to deep reservoirs of creativity, intelligence, imagination, clarity, determination, choice, and wisdom within us. ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn
Appreciation quotes by Jon Kabat-Zinn
Actually, bizarrely, in America, I get more appreciation from the odd, unusual stuff I've done, almost because I'm not, if you like, famous in America as I am in England. ~ Steve Coogan
Appreciation quotes by Steve Coogan
Just being nice is not a winning strategy. Nice sends a message that the woman is willing to sacrifice pay to be liked by others. This is why a woman needs to combine niceness with insistence, a style that Mary sue Coleman, president of the University of Michigan, calls "relentlessly pleasant." This method requires smiling frequently, expressing appreciation and concern, invoking common interests, emphasizing larger goals, and approaching the negotiation as solving a problem as opposed to taking a critical stance. Most negotiations involve drawn-out, successive moves, so women need to stay focused... and smile.

No wonder women don't negotiate as much as men. It's like trying to cross a minefield backward in high heels. So what should we do? Should we play by the rules that others created? Should we figure out a way to put on a friendly expression while not being too nice, displaying the right levels of loyalty and using "we" language? I understand the paradox of advising women to change the world by adhering to biased rules and expectations. I know it is not a perfect answer but a means to a desirable end. It is also true, as any good negotiator knows, that having a better understanding of the other side leads to a superior outcome. So at the very least, women can enter these negotiations with the knowledge that showing concern for the common good, even as they negotiate for themselves, will strengthen their position. ~ Sheryl Sandberg
Appreciation quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
A grateful mindset can set you free from the prison of disempowerment and the shackles of misery. ~ Steve Maraboli
Appreciation quotes by Steve Maraboli
In too many households prayer is neglected. Parents feel that they have no time for morning and evening worship. They cannot spare a few moments to be spent in thanksgiving to God for his abundant mercies - for the blessed sunshine and the showers of rain, which cause vegetation to flourish, and for the guardianship of holy angels. They have no time to offer prayer for divine help and guidance and for the abiding presence of Jesus in the household. They go forth to labor as the ox or the horse goes, without one thought of God or heaven. They have souls so precious that rather than permit them to be hopelessly lost, the Son of God gave his life to ransom them; but they have little more [144] appreciation of his great goodness than have the beasts that perish. ~ Ellen G. White
Appreciation quotes by Ellen G. White
If we define optimism broadly as the tendency to maintain a positive outlook, then realistic optimism is the tendency to maintain a positive outlook within the constraints of the available "measurable phenomena situated in the physical and social world" (DeGrandpre, 2000, p. 733). With respect to fuzzy meaning, realistic optimism involves enhancing and focusing on the favorable aspects of our experiences. Examples include being lenient in our evaluation of past events, actively appreciating the positive aspects of our current situation, and routinely emphasizing possible opportunities for the future. With respect to fuzzy knowledge, realistic optimism involves hoping, aspiring, and searching for positive experiences while acknowledging what we do not know and accepting what we cannot know. ~ Sandra L. Schneider
Appreciation quotes by Sandra L. Schneider
Behind great men, children, companies or homes are some extraordinary women! Take time today and always to acknowledge the women in your life with a show of gratitude. Love compels a woman's heart. Appreciation drives her commitment. Kindness fuels her strength. Compassion gives her courage. God gives her to you. ~ Carlos Wallace
Appreciation quotes by Carlos Wallace
She felt her strong young body that she had never appreciated when she had it, constantly worrying that she didn't meet standards of beauty and not understanding how standards of health were so much more important. ~ Jo Walton
Appreciation quotes by Jo Walton
The humanitarian is a treasure hunter seeking gems of remedy and appreciation. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Appreciation quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
It wasn't until I started writing that I found a whole new appreciation for reading. ~ Justin Bienvenue
Appreciation quotes by Justin Bienvenue
Appreciation, not possession, makes a thing ours. ~ Marty Rubin
