The arts are an even better barometer of what is happening in our world than the stock market or the debates in congress. ~ Hendrik Willem Van Loon
Barometer quotes by Hendrik Willem Van Loon
Movement never lies. It is a barometer telling the state of the soul's weather to all who can read it. ~ Martha Graham
Barometer quotes by Martha Graham
Barometer of success in later life is not that they always win, but how they deal with failure. An ability to pick themselves up when they fall, retaining their optimism and sense of self, is a far greater predictor of future success than class position in Year 3. ~ Helen Fielding
Barometer quotes by Helen Fielding
There are only two possible forms of control: one internal and the other external; religious control and political control. They are of such a nature that when the religious barometer rises, the barometer of [external, i.e., political control] falls and likewise, when the religious barometer falls, the political barometer, that is political control and tyranny, rises. That is the law of humanity, a law of history. If civilized man falls into disbelief and immorality, the way is prepared for some gigantic and colossal tyrant, universal and immense. ~ Juan Donoso Cortes
Barometer quotes by Juan Donoso Cortes
The type of journalism that relies on the reporter's notion of what does or doesn't "seem" correct or controversial is self-indulgent and irresponsible. It gives credence to the belief that we can intuit our way through all the various decisions we need to make in our lives and it validates the notion that our feelings are a more reliable barometer of reality than the facts. ~ Seth Mnookin
Barometer quotes by Seth Mnookin
When you do a drama, you are challenged to trust your inner voice much more. Because when you put a comedy in front of even a 25-person screening, you know whether it's working or not. The barometer is overt. ~ Shawn Levy
Barometer quotes by Shawn Levy
Humility is a most excellent barometer," he said, "and ought to be looked for in all those we are made to look up to. ~ Alan Bradley
Barometer quotes by Alan Bradley
The way we view the world, the ultimate barometer of quality is: if it gets shared, it's quality. ~ Emerson Spartz
Barometer quotes by Emerson Spartz
Since we are living in an open society with a space for tolerance and indulgence, we must monitor assiduously the permanent changes of habits and customs and the "normality barometer" should be determined and adjusted, time after time. ("On a doggy day") ~ Erik Pevernagie
Barometer quotes by Erik Pevernagie
Aristotle may be regarded as the cultural barometer of Western history. Whenever his influence dominated the scene, it paved the way for one of history's brilliant eras; whenever it fell, so did mankind. ~ Ayn Rand
Barometer quotes by Ayn Rand
Concepts of triage and medical rationing are a barometer of how those in power in a society value human life. ~ Sheri Fink
Barometer quotes by Sheri Fink
The barometer of his emotional nature was set for a spell of riot. ~ James Joyce
Barometer quotes by James Joyce
We're...We're like Mrs Sun and Mr Rain on a barometer. When one of us is out, the others stays in. -Marcus ~ Julia Llewellyn Smith
Barometer quotes by Julia Llewellyn Smith
A key barometer to help us weigh the rightness of our actions is self-respect. ~ Sharon Salzberg
Barometer quotes by Sharon Salzberg
Interest is the barometer of the state ... ~ David Hume
Barometer quotes by David Hume
Profits must be judged as moral or immoral by how they are earned and how they are disposed. Without a new barometer, we are left with the old barometer - profit for its own sake, regardless of whether it is sustainable or ultimately ruinous. But over the course of a seven-day weekend when a reservoir of talent is tapped, a calling is found, a true, well-rounded definition of success is established, people may realize they're working not for the money but literally working for and on themselves. And what a liberating realization that is. ~ Ricardo Semler
Barometer quotes by Ricardo Semler
Keep in mind that the tendency to be judgmental - toward yourself or another person - is a good barometer of how anxious or stressed out you are. Judging others is simply the flip side of judging yourself. ~ Harriet Lerner
Barometer quotes by Harriet Lerner
Money is the barometer of a society's virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion–when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing–when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors–when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you–when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice–you may know that your society is doomed. Money is so noble a medium that does not compete with guns and it does not make terms with brutality. It will not permit a country to survive as half-property, half-loot ~ Ayn Rand
Barometer quotes by Ayn Rand
The poet may be used as a barometer, but let us not forget that he is also part of the weather. ~ Lionel Trilling
Barometer quotes by Lionel Trilling
She was standing by the barometer, which, if it had had an ounce of sense in its head, would have been pointing to 'Stormy' instead of 'Set Fair ~ P.G. Wodehouse
Barometer quotes by P.G. Wodehouse
I am a woman whose moods are influenced by the weather, my outlook rising and falling with the barometer. ~ Kathy Reichs
Barometer quotes by Kathy Reichs
And, as is generally the case around the time a prophet is expected, the Church redoubled its efforts to be holy. This was very much like the bustle you get in any large concern when the auditors are expected, but tended towards taking people suspected of being less holy and putting them to death in a hundred ingenious ways. This is considered a reliable barometer of the state of one's piety in most of the really popular religions. ~ Terry Pratchett
Barometer quotes by Terry Pratchett
Idolatry, especially that of the body, is for Athanasius a kind of barometer, measuring the perversity into which humans have fallen, the degree to which their knowledge of God has been lost, and the extent to which the image of God in them obscured, the consequence of which is corruption and death. ~ Athanasius Of Alexandria
Barometer quotes by Athanasius Of Alexandria
Since when was the stock market an accurate barometer of anything? ~ Arthur Hailey
Barometer quotes by Arthur Hailey
The book trade is a spiritual barometer of a nations well-being. ~ John Buchan
Barometer quotes by John Buchan
Marriage is no barometer of mental health ~ Randy Ross
Barometer quotes by Randy Ross
I think what makes us human - is our interconnectedness among people. It's our ability to form and maintain relationships. It's the barometer by which we call ourselves human. ~ Thomas Jane
Barometer quotes by Thomas Jane
When you play a character that is so emotionally closed there are times when you ask yourself if you are doing enough and if it's reading. That is where you have a director, who is the barometer of what you are doing. ~ Gary Oldman
Barometer quotes by Gary Oldman
It takes about ten years to make a mature dancer. The training is twofold. There is the study and practice of the craft in order to strengthen the muscular structure of the body. The body is shaped, disciplined, honored, and in time, trusted. The movement become clean, precise, eloquent, truthful. Movement never lies. It is a barometer telling the state of the soul's weather to all who can read it. This might be called the law of the dancer's life, the law which governs its outer aspects ~ Martha Graham
Barometer quotes by Martha Graham
The go-to reflex all over Hollywood is still likeability. I've always had a problem with it because I think I have a weird barometer in the sense that some of the characters I've cared about the most in movies are characters that are often thought of as despicable. ~ Damien Chazelle
Barometer quotes by Damien Chazelle
I simmer in the half-light of a stoop, raising beers under a pompadour on the first brisk night, pressure more potent than any barometer can read. To see your hand to the tramp of feet is a way to measure strangers. To feel your hair on my finger accidentally is common sense, a way of leading you to me as the watch moves. We return to our bed through the bakery smells of daybreak, sky palling, empty of jets. The schedule is suspended, then resumes like gray dead hands in the east, and I want you never to die. ~ John Godfrey
Barometer quotes by John Godfrey
If we were to use the success of 'Need You Now' as the barometer for every other song, then we'll probably be highly disappointed. That song will probably undoubtedly be the biggest song of our career. We can hopefully have success for 20 years, but we may not ever have the success of that one particular song again. ~ Charles Kelley
Barometer quotes by Charles Kelley
What I consider to be the barometer for what is a rock artist and what is not, is somebody who has a certain element of blues, even a hint of soul or blues music, derivative of African-American blues, folk, spiritual, or gospel. ~ Ian Astbury
Barometer quotes by Ian Astbury
We incessantly vacillate between what's behind us and what's before us depending on the current barometer of our courage and the ambivalent nature of our vision. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Barometer quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
Learning what really makes a dog like him tick had forced me to grasp more about what made me tick. I often didn't like what I saw in me, but I was determined to do right by him. Which meant, as Carolyn had suggested, that I had to be better. Orson, like all my dogs, was a measure, a barometer, a mirror of me. ~ Jon Katz
Barometer quotes by Jon Katz
My body and its condition are a barometer that is always trying to tell me which direction to go for my maximum creativity, health and fulfillment. And, because I'm human, I get off track now and again but I can always get back on. ~ Christiane Northrup
Barometer quotes by Christiane Northrup
Twenty-five, 30 years ago, the barometer of human rights in the United States were black people. That is no longer true. The barometer for judging the character of people in regard to human rights is now those who consider themselves gay, homosexual, lesbian. ~ Bayard Rustin
Barometer quotes by Bayard Rustin
When you run a company, you need to be pretty open-minded. There are a lot of different views on faith, on religion, on many different issues, and you can't let your own faith be the barometer. ~ Greg Brenneman
Barometer quotes by Greg Brenneman
Our comfort or discomfort with the outer dark is a good barometer of how we feel about the inner kind. ~ Barbara Brown Taylor
Barometer quotes by Barbara Brown Taylor
My recollection of the higher school certificate, which involved a practical exam in physics, was being confronted with an experiment involving a sort of barometer arrangement, wondering why I couldn't make it work. ~ Peter Higgs
Barometer quotes by Peter Higgs
She had her own barometer for knowing when a man was getting too close: as soon as he felt comfortable enough to help himself to something in her refrigerator, he was history.
...
Filching leftover was simply too domestic for her to stomach. A man might as well say, "I'm hungry and I'm taking your food, woman." First he'd be foraging for food in the fridge, next he'd be expecting her to cook for him, replace buttons on his shirt, and give up her job to have babies that looked like him. ~ Stephanie Bond
Barometer quotes by Stephanie Bond
Eminem has talent, and his talent is the thing that influences many young people who would have never gone anywhere near rap. White kids in different parts of the world use him as a barometer and the standard to live up to. In some ways, Eminem is an artist who has ushered in a new movement. ~ Chuck D
Barometer quotes by Chuck D
The information highway is being sold to us as delivering information, but what it's really delivering is data ... Unlike data, information has utility, timeliness, accuracy, a pedigree ... Editors serve as barometers of quality, and most of an editor's time is spent saying no. ~ Clifford Stoll
Barometer quotes by Clifford Stoll
Money is the barometer of society's virtue. ~ Ayn Rand
Barometer quotes by Ayn Rand
If you want to know when a war might be coming, you just watch the U.S. and see when it starts cutting down on its defenses. It's the surest barometer in the world. ~ Will Rogers
Barometer quotes by Will Rogers
The way we use our money is a barometer of our present spiritual condition. Our neglect of the poor illustrates much about where our hearts lie. But even more than that, the way we use our money is an indicator of our eternal destination. The mark of Christ followers is that their hearts are in heaven and their treasures are spent there ~ David Platt
Barometer quotes by David Platt
As cliche as this sounds, no one is going to live your life for you. You owe it to yourself to pay attention to what makes you happy and to do it. You have to trust your inner barometer of pleasure, and tune your life to that. ~ Joshua David Swift
Barometer quotes by Joshua David Swift
You have to stay out of the game. It's deadly and no one ever wins. Everyone is a loser. Even seeming wins are short-lived and have the taste of bitterness mixed in with the satisfaction of personal gain. The ego is exclusive by nature. While the spirit seeks to include, the ego is unashamedly manipulative in its culling of people. The intention of self-aggrandisement is barely even covered over. The soul does not see people in terms of what it can gain. It seeks to share. It seeks to create by extension of its own and others' true nature. The ego is extremely changeable. It has no stability. Constantly guarding against attack and looking out for its own advantage, its perceptions and thus feelings towards others are ever-shifting. This creates unhappiness. The more we veer away from our true nature, the more unhappy we feel. When we align with our better self, we feel happy again. And so the process continues until the spaces between happiness are not as long and arduous. The presence or absence of personal peace is our barometer. It will guide us even if we are not sure of the way. ~ Donna Goddard
Barometer quotes by Donna Goddard
Sudden resolutions, like the sudden rise of mercury in a barometer, indicate little else than the variability of the weather. ~ David Hare
Barometer quotes by David Hare
He checked the barometer he'd nailed to the family room wall: the pressure was rising. ~ Anthony Doerr
Barometer quotes by Anthony Doerr
It's compulsive but we actually find the painful repetition pleasurable." He took another sip. "It doesn't sound pleasurable." "It's how we self-soothe. How we maintain the illusion that we are in control of our lives. For example, you repeat 'Pick up' in hopes that the outcome each time will be different. And you are repeatedly embarrassed, are you not?" He waited for me to respond but I wouldn't meet his eyes. "You are hoping to master the experience. The pain is what we know. It's our barometer of reality. We never trust pleasure." Every time Howard looked at me I felt bare. ~ Stephanie Danler
Barometer quotes by Stephanie Danler
Nothing is ever a barometer. Nothing is ever for sure except that this band has been around forever. ~ Steven Tyler
Barometer quotes by Steven Tyler
The artist in all societies has traditionally been a kind of barometer, more sensitive to nuances and changes than others, because he is more deeply immersed in his culture and more interested in its meanings. ~ Hortense Powdermaker
Barometer quotes by Hortense Powdermaker
There's been times where I've come out of the bullpen thinking I was going to throw a no hitter, and I've lasted two or three innings. So I try not to use my pre-game warm ups as a barometer of how I'm going to pitch. ~ Tim Wakefield
Barometer quotes by Tim Wakefield
Setting an aggressive enough carbon-reduction goal will result in an appropriate price for carbon and will help many a renewable technology. Consumer education will help. Most importantly, though, will be the continually declining cost trajectory of the real breakthrough in clean-technology costs driven by research and innovation. In the end, private capital is the real barometer of change. ~ Vinod Khosla
Barometer quotes by Vinod Khosla
The barometer that shows "variable" is an ironic indictment of God. ~ Jose Bergamin
Barometer quotes by Jose Bergamin
Because it is occasionally possible, just for brief moments, to find the words that will unlock the doors of all those many mansions inside the head and express something - perhaps not much, just something - of the crush of information that presses in on us from the way a crow flies over and the way a man walks and the look of a street and from what we did one day a dozen years ago. Words that will express something of the deep complexity that makes us precisely the way we are, from the momentary effect of the barometer to the force that created men distinct from trees. Something of the inaudible music that moves us along in our bodies from moment to moment like water in a river. Something of the spirit of the snowflake in the water of the river. Something of the duplicity and the relativity and the merely fleeting quality of all this. Something of the almighty importance of it and something of the utter meaninglessness. And when words can manage something of this, and manage it in a moment, of time, and in that same moment, make out of it all the vital signature of a human being - not of an atom, or of a geometrical diagram, or of a heap of lenses - but a human being, we call it poetry. ~ Ted Hughes
Barometer quotes by Ted Hughes
Training records become a barometer of accomplishment and a roadmap for further progress. ~ Craig Cecil
Barometer quotes by Craig Cecil
Eyes mean a lot. Like a barometer. They tell you everything-they tell you who has a heart of stone, who would poke the toe of his boot in your ribs as soon as look at you-and who's afraid of you. The cowards – they're the ones whose ankles I like to snap at. If they're scared, I go for them. Serve them right..grrr..bow-wow…" Chapter 1 ~ Mikhail Bulgakov
Barometer quotes by Mikhail Bulgakov
My mother has always been my emotional barometer and my guidance. I was lucky enough to get to have one woman who truly helped me through everything. ~ Emma Stone
Barometer quotes by Emma Stone
Common Core results finally give families an accurate barometer of whether our kids are mastering the skills they need to succeed in a knowledge-based global economy, early enough that we can intervene. ~ Wendy Kopp
Barometer quotes by Wendy Kopp
Many of us are reactive, not proactive. We react. We hit back. We are 'an eye for an eye' practitioners. We attack when we are attacked, with good measure. Our barometer reads from the environment and makes us act accordingly. We are mirrors who reflect the anger in others, the bad attitude in the other person, the negative comments of others. Let me show you a higher level of living. ~ Nana Awere Damoah
Barometer quotes by Nana Awere Damoah
You are hoping to master the experience. The pain is what we know. It's our barometer of reality. We never trust pleasure. ~ Stephanie Danler
Barometer quotes by Stephanie Danler
Sex can be such a stark barometer for a marriage. ~ John Eldredge
Barometer quotes by John Eldredge
You see, if the height of the mercury [barometer] column is less on the top of a mountain than at the foot of it (as I have many reasons for believing, although everyone who has so far written about it is of the contrary opinion), it follows that the weight of the air must be the sole cause of the phenomenon, and not that abhorrence of a vacuum, since it is obvious that at the foot of the mountain there is more air to have weight than at the summit, and we cannot possibly say that the air at the foot of the mountain has a greater aversion to empty space than at the top. ~ Blaise Pascal
Barometer quotes by Blaise Pascal
You can never get to a person's mind. You cannot know the different deeds and missions of happiness; you can't tell a screm of pleasure from one of pain. Sometimes, we can barely read pain. Neither a barometer nor a guide, pain can mislead us. Even in the body, the laws of chain reactions can be false. This is why people always want a second opinion. ~ Ibi Kaslik
Barometer quotes by Ibi Kaslik
She seemed to have it all. Humanitarian success on the world stage, contentment and love in her private life. As she lazed on the deck of the Jonikal, for once the barometer of her heart was set fair. By some curious alchemy the public sensed this transformation, that this lonely, vulnerable and rudderless vessel had at last found a comforting anchor in life, a safe harbor to run to from the perils of the deep.
For a few short days she enjoyed that state of grace in a stormy existence. Then the heavens cracked open--and claimed her. ~ Andrew Morton
Barometer quotes by Andrew Morton
A joke was the best barometer for mental weather. ~ Charles Sheffield
Barometer quotes by Charles Sheffield
Before speaking, consult your inner-truth barometer, and resist the temptation to tell people only what they want to hear. ~ Wayne W. Dyer
Barometer quotes by Wayne W. Dyer
I don't think of myself as a grading barometer and I doubt if any climber could be one. ~ Fred Nicole
Barometer quotes by Fred Nicole
I respond to about a quarter of comments. It's a good barometer of my mental health - when I'm healthy and busy, I don't read them. ~ Meghan Daum
Barometer quotes by Meghan Daum
Everyone who is alive can find something to be grateful for if they look for it. If you are among the few that can't find anything, start with the fact that you are ALIVE and continue from there. Counting ones blessings is a barometer of mental health. ~ Gudjon Bergmann
Barometer quotes by Gudjon Bergmann
There is a sense of decency that's like a barometer to a man's or a country's health. ~ Samuel R. Delany
Barometer quotes by Samuel R. Delany
