The Bible holds up before us ideals that are within sight of the weakest and the lowliest, and yet so high that the best and the noblest are kept with their faces turned ever upward. It carries the call of the Saviour to the remotest corners of the earth; on its pages are written the assurances of the present and our hopes for the future ~ William Jennings Bryan
Ideals quotes by William Jennings Bryan
In any case, ideals are something we strive for; they are somewhere on the horizon of our efforts; they provide meaning and direction; they are not, however, static quotas that we either fulfill or do not. ~ Vaclav Havel
Ideals quotes by Vaclav Havel
The Bible and its teachings helped form the basis for the Founding Fathers' abiding belief in the inalienable rights of the individual, rights which they found implicit in the Bible's teachings of the inherent worth and dignity of each individual. This same sense of man patterned the convictions of those who framed the English system of law inherited by our own Nation, as well as the ideals set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. ~ Ronald Reagan
Ideals quotes by Ronald Reagan
Look at your life as an experiment. Make a comprise with all your doubts and fears: For a year or two, do what you can to move toward your ideal scene, in a easy and relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way. See what happens. ~ Mark Allen
Ideals quotes by Mark Allen
The level of 'acceptable' dishonesty we Christians allow to avoid facing uncomfortable truths betrays our ideals as shallowly held. ~ Jamie Arpin-Ricci
Ideals quotes by Jamie Arpin-Ricci
As for the Republicans
how can one regard seriously a frightened, greedy, nostalgic huddle of tradesmen and lucky idlers who shut their eyes to history and science, steel their emotions against decent human sympathy, cling to sordid and provincial ideals exalting sheer acquisitiveness and condoning artificial hardship for the non-materially-shrewd, dwell smugly and sentimentally in a distorted dream-cosmos of outmoded phrases and principles and attitudes based on the bygone agricultural-handicraft world, and revel in (consciously or unconsciously) mendacious assumptions (such as the notion that real liberty is synonymous with the single detail of unrestricted economic license or that a rational planning of resource-distribution would contravene some vague and mystical 'American heritage' ... ) utterly contrary to fact and without the slightest foundation in human experience? Intellectually, the Republican idea deserves the tolerance and respect one gives to the dead. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Ideals quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America. ~ Walt Disney
Ideals quotes by Walt Disney
Once you have seen and felt your ideal future, you will be ready and able to pay any price to get there. ~ Jim Rohn
Ideals quotes by Jim Rohn
The only analogy I have before me is Socrates. My task is a Socratic task, to revise the definition of what it is to be a Christian. For my part I do not call myself a "Christian" (thus keeping the ideal free), but I am able to make it evident that the others are still less than I. ~ Soren Kierkegaard
Ideals quotes by Soren Kierkegaard
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, but giving up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair - these are the long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust. You are as young as your faith and as old as your doubts; as young as you self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair. ~ James E. Faust
Ideals quotes by James E. Faust
People didn't fight for grand causes or great purposes, but for the closest and most personal of reasons. They might say the fought for high ideals, but in practice they fought for the comrades beside them and their loved ones at home. ~ Jack Campbell
Ideals quotes by Jack Campbell
Wherever on this planet ideals of personal freedom and dignity apply, there you will find the cultural inheritance of England. ~ Karel Capek
Ideals quotes by Karel Capek
Thus, neither my government nor myself, personally, are without ideals and responsibilities. ~ Fatos Nano
Ideals quotes by Fatos Nano
The message of the United States is not nuclear power. The message of the United States is a spiritual message. It is the message of human ideals; it is the message of human dignity; it is the message of the freedom of ideas, speech, press, the right to assemble, to worship, and the message of freedom of movement of people. ~ Hubert H. Humphrey
Ideals quotes by Hubert H. Humphrey
There is less difference than many suppose between the ideal Socialist system, in which the big businesses are run by the State, and the present Capitalist system, in which the State is run by the big businesses. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Ideals quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
Setting a good example is a far better way to spread ideals than through force of arms. ~ Ron Paul
Ideals quotes by Ron Paul
I'm interested in why people compromise when they shouldn't. It comes back to what V's about in a sense. We've all got ideals, but given the right circumstances, we'll forget about them and put them behind us. I'm very interested in why people do that. ~ David Lloyd
Ideals quotes by David Lloyd
A certain degree of physical harmony and comfort is necessary, but above a certain level it becomes a hindrance instead of a help. Therefore the ideal of creating an unlimited number of wants and satisfying them seems to be a delusion and a snare. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Ideals quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
It's an old, established rule, but "golden hour" lighting is ideal because the first and last hours of sunlight are diffuse and warm. For that reason, women with photos taken outside during those hours tended to look great. ~ Amy Webb
Ideals quotes by Amy Webb
Prayer is essentially a process by which ideals are enabled to become operative in our lives. It may be more than this, but it is at least this. ~ Georgia Harkness
Ideals quotes by Georgia Harkness
Pulitzer's Gold is a goldmine of inspiration for both journalists and non-journalists. Those in the newspaper business, who now find themselves obsessing about staff cutbacks and circulation declines, should embrace this book as a reminder of the highest ideals, and the absolute thrills, to be found in their profession. As for regular readers, Pulitzer's Gold offers marvelous storytelling, real-life adventures, and absolute proof that journalism can change our world for the better. ~ Jeffrey Zaslow
Ideals quotes by Jeffrey Zaslow
The priest raises his foot. In it he feels a dull, heavy pain. This is no mere formality. He will now trample on what he has considered the most beautiful thing in his life, on what he has believed most pure, on what is filled with the ideals and the dreams of man. ~ Shusaku Endo
Ideals quotes by Shusaku Endo
There is a lot of sixties-bashing going on these days that I don't agree with at all. I feel that extremely important ideals were brought to the forefront of the collective consciousness at that time. Granted, drug use was so pervasive that our generation did not as a group have the capacity to manifest our ideals to any great extent. But many of the people who were young in the sixties and who were most touched by that collective ethos are still touched. ~ Marianne Williamson
Ideals quotes by Marianne Williamson
Once we recognize the power of propaganda, we need to ask whether its exercise is consistent with those democratic ideals to which lip-service is commonly accorded. ~ Randal Marlin
Ideals quotes by Randal Marlin
One must first seek to love plants and nature, and then to cultivate that happy peace of mind which is satisfied with little. He will be happier if he has no rigid and arbitrary ideals, for gardens are coquettish, particularly with the novice. ~ Liberty Hyde Bailey
Ideals quotes by Liberty Hyde Bailey
It took many years to cleanse Arabia of its "false idols." It will take many more to cleanse Islam of its new false idols - bigotry and fanaticism - worshipped by those who have replaced Muhammad's original vision of tolerance and unity with their own ideals of hatred and discord. But the cleansing is inevitable, and the tide of reform cannot be stopped. The Islamic Reformation is already here. We are all living in it. ~ Reza Aslan
Ideals quotes by Reza Aslan
For Marianne, however - in spite of his incivility in surviving her loss - he always retained that decided regard which interested him in every thing that befell her, and made her his secret standard of perfection in woman; - and many a rising beauty would be slighted by him in after-days as bearing no comparison with Mrs. Brandon. ~ Jane Austen
Ideals quotes by Jane Austen
In my ideal world, it would be a soulful connection to the role because you've shared a lot of the same experiences as the character and you just feel so right in it. That's the first thing I look for. ~ Giles Matthey
Ideals quotes by Giles Matthey
When you can get others to admire your ideals and to want what you want, you do not have to spend as much on sticks and carrots to move them in your direction. Seduction is always more effective than coercion, and many values like democracy, human rights, and individual opportunities are deeply seductive. ~ Joseph S. Nye Jr.
Ideals quotes by Joseph S. Nye Jr.
The business of art is to enlarge and correct the heart and to lift our ideals out of the ugly and the mean through love of the ideal ... The business of art is to appeal to the soul. ~ Florence Earle Coates
Ideals quotes by Florence Earle Coates
Each social formation, through each of its material activities, exerts its influence upon the civic whole; and each of its ideas and ideals wins also its place and power. ~ Patrick Geddes
Ideals quotes by Patrick Geddes
I love being a conservative. We conservatives are proud of our philosophy. Unlike our liberal friends, who are constantly looking for new words to conceal their true beliefs and are in a perpetual state of reinvention, we conservatives are unapologetic about our ideals. ~ Rush Limbaugh
Ideals quotes by Rush Limbaugh
You come to a point where you give up on holding yourself to a perfect feminist ideal - it just feels stifling. ~ Jessica Valenti
Ideals quotes by Jessica Valenti
I recognize thart even you, yourself, will change. Your ideals will change, your tastes will change, your desires will change. Your whole understandings of who you are had better change, because if it doesn't change, you've become a very static personality over a great many years, and nothing would displease me more. And so I recognize that the process of evolution will produce changes in you. ~ Neale Donald Walsch
Ideals quotes by Neale Donald Walsch
Set up as an ideal the facing of reality as honestly and as cheerfully as possible. ~ Karl A. Menninger
Ideals quotes by Karl A. Menninger
No institution which does not continually test its ideals, techniques and measure of accomplishment can claim real vitality. ~ John Milton
Ideals quotes by John Milton
Violence is the fear to other's ideals. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Ideals quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
If biologists so often forget the most universal of all biologic principles [variation], it is not surprising that men and women in general expect their fellows to think and behave according to the pattern that may fit the law-maker, or the imaginary ideals for which the legislation was fashioned, but which are ill-shaped for all real individuals who try to live under them. ~ Alfred Kinsey
Ideals quotes by Alfred Kinsey
Now is the time to get serious about living your ideals. How long can you afford to put off who you really want to be? Your nobler self cannot wait any longer. Put your principles into practice – now. Stop the excuses and the procrastination. This is your life! You aren't a child anymore. The sooner you set yourself to your spiritual program, the happier you will be. The longer you wait, the more you'll be vulnerable to mediocrity and feel filled with shame and regret, because you know you are capable of better. From this instant on, vow to stop disappointing yourself. Separate yourself from the mob. Decide to be extraordinary and do what you need to do – now. ~ Epictetus
Ideals quotes by Epictetus
We're a nation of hope, of high ideals. ~ Cory Booker
Ideals quotes by Cory Booker
Permitted to inhabit neither the realm of the ideal nor the realm of the real, to be neither aspiration nor companion, beauty comes to us like a fugitive bird unable to fly, unable to land. ~ Elaine Scarry
Ideals quotes by Elaine Scarry
We can be enthused by - yes, that's right, enthused - by the noblest of ideals, but only on condition that we don't have to expend any effort, that we don't have to make any sacrifices, and above all on condition that the ideals can be achieved free, gratis, that we needn't pay anything. Paying is something we really resent; on the other hand, receiving, that's really up our street, and that goes for everything. Let's have every kind of blessing (nothing less will do, it must be every kind) and, whatever happens, let no one tell us what to do on any score, and then we too shall prove that we can be all sweetness and light. ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Ideals quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
I think the iPod is the true face of Republican politics, and I'm in favor of the music industry ... standing up proud and saying it out loud: We in the Chiclet-manufacturing business are not about social justice, ... we're not about a coherent set of national ideals, we're not about wisdom. We're about choosing what WE want to listen to and ignoring everything else ... . We're about giving ourselves a mindless feel-good treat every five minutes. ... We're about persuading ten-year-old children to spend twenty-five dollars on a cool little silicone iPod case that costs a licensed Apple Computer subsidiary thirty-nine cents to manufacture. ~ Jonathan Franzen
Ideals quotes by Jonathan Franzen
My ideal city is more like the city (New York and Paris come to mind, but it sort of applies to all) that existed up to and including the 1930s, when different classes lived all together in the same neighborhoods, and most businesses of any sort were mom-and-pop, and people and things had a local identity. ~ Luc Sante
Ideals quotes by Luc Sante
Nothing worse than a weak man with ambition, who gains power because those before him died rather than because his ideals were grand. ~ Melina Marchetta
Ideals quotes by Melina Marchetta
The higher American patriotism, on the other hand, combines loyalty to historical tradition and precedent with the imaginative projection of an ideal national Promise. ~ Herbert Croly
Ideals quotes by Herbert Croly
Now is the time to lead your ideal life. ~ Phil Cousineau
Ideals quotes by Phil Cousineau
The essence of education is, in the words of William James, to teach a person what deserves to be valued, to impart ideals as well as knowledge, to cultivate in students the ability to distinguish the true and good from their counterfeits and the wisdom to prefer the former to the latter. ~ William J. Bennett
Ideals quotes by William J. Bennett
I happen to think we've set our ideal on the wrong objects; I happen to think that the greatest ideal man can set before himself is self-perfection. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
Ideals quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
We have come to a generation which seeks advance without ideals - discovery without stars. ~ W.E.B. Du Bois
Ideals quotes by W.E.B. Du Bois
Europe is equal to its historical task. Against the anti-spiritual, anti-heroic 'ideals' of America-Jewry, Europe pits its metaphysical ideas, its faith in its Destiny, its ethical principles, its heroism. Fearlessly, Europe falls in for battle, knowing it is armed with the mightiest weapon ever forged by History: the superpersonal Destiny of the European organism. Our European Mission is to create the Culture-State-Nation-Imperium of the West, and thereby we shall perform such deeds, accomplish such works, and so transform our world that our distant posterity, when they behold the remains of our buildings and ramparts, will tell their grandchildren that on the soil of Europe once dwelt a tribe of gods. ~ Francis Parker Yockey
Ideals quotes by Francis Parker Yockey
The arts and a belief in the values of the civil rights movement, in the overwhelming virtue of diversity, these were our religion. My parents worshipped those ideals. ~ Jonathan Lethem
Ideals quotes by Jonathan Lethem
A well balanced, inclusive approach, according to certain standards and ideals, is essential for the proper governance of any country. ~ Laisenia Qarase
Ideals quotes by Laisenia Qarase
Be what you yearn to be, and stop living for false ideals. ~ E.M. Markoff
Ideals quotes by E.M. Markoff
Persistent inequality costs the U.S. hundreds of billions of dollars a year, undermining our global competitiveness, our democracy, and our ideals as a nation. ~ Wendy Kopp
Ideals quotes by Wendy Kopp
Letters are above all useful as a means of expressing the ideal self; and no other method of communication is quite so good for this purpose. In letters we can reform without practice, beg without humiliation, snip and shape embarrassing experiences to the measure of our own desires ... ~ Elizabeth Hardwick
Ideals quotes by Elizabeth Hardwick
Patriotism is not 'my country right or wrong'; patriotism means loving the ideals for which America stands and having the courage to speak up when these ideals are distorted for personal or political gain. The American government was instituted to be the servant of the people, not our master. ~ Robert A. Heinlein
Ideals quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
The framework of the artist's ideas is clearly only that which he is forever seeking for universality, and must be far wider than the framework of the ideals of the patriot. ~ Sean O Faolain
Ideals quotes by Sean O Faolain
Character and ideals are catching. When you associate with men who aspire to the highest and best, you expose yourself to the qualities that make men great. ~ Carolyn Coats
Ideals quotes by Carolyn Coats
Feminism is comprised of values that are important to you as a woman, not ideals arrived at by forced consensus to which you should adjust your own life. ~ Daisy Hernandez
Ideals quotes by Daisy Hernandez
Capitalism has run its course, and we shall have to look for other ideals than the ones that capitalism has encouraged. ~ Edmund Wilson
Ideals quotes by Edmund Wilson
The ideal state is meekness, or humility, or the semi-invalid state of the old. Year after year I am becoming nobler and nobler. If I can live to be decrepit enough, I shall be a saint. ~ Charles Fort
Ideals quotes by Charles Fort
The world has always been betrayed by decent men with bad ideals. ~ Sydney J. Harris
Ideals quotes by Sydney J. Harris
We should be able to stand up for our ideals and not get struck down. We should be able to protest in our streets without the need for armed protection. A world of life, liberty, and love should be allowed to blossom in our towns and cities. ~ Rivera Sun
Ideals quotes by Rivera Sun
Freedom of religion is a principle that is central to our Nation's Declaration of Independence. Congress has taken this positive step to protect our freedom to express allegiance to America's flag and the ideals it represents. ~ Ron Lewis
Ideals quotes by Ron Lewis
Want me to say it? Want me to confess what makes me an actual felon and reserves me a choice spot in hell?"

"Please, Alexandria Patra," Preton said, "tell me all your regrets."

Her eyes narrowed. "I taught children to surrender their developing minds to concepts like the greater good or the good of society which can't exist in any form in this world without actual kids being trampled underneath their untouchable banners."

Pointing at her own chest, she added, "I taught children that in order to live up to those 'higher' ideals they must be obedient - to others, must sacrifice their dreams - to the needs of others. I taught them it was more important to be a part of a group than to stand on their own judgment. I told the non-conforming kids they should feel guilty for wanting to live on their own terms."

Alexa swept a hand forward, pointing it at Preton. "I then delivered every ego-stripped, dream-crushed child to the power mongers of the world like you, who will use this universally accepted mirage of morality to control them. ~ S.W. Southwick
Ideals quotes by S.W. Southwick
Remember: It cost God everything to make you holy. When you choose to live below that calling – making excuses for compromise and cultural ideals – you're spurning the identity Jesus died to provide. ~ Phylicia Masonheimer
Ideals quotes by Phylicia Masonheimer
The exotic and the erotic ideals go hand in hand, and this fact also contributes another proof of a more or less obvious truth - that is, that a love of the exotic is usually an imaginative projection of a sexual desire. ~ Mario Praz
Ideals quotes by Mario Praz
Make no mistake, in this campaign, I will offer the American ideals of economic freedom a clear and unapologetic defense. ~ Mitt Romney
Ideals quotes by Mitt Romney
If one is not a living mockery of one's own ideals, one has set one's ideals too low. ~ Charles Ludlam
Ideals quotes by Charles Ludlam
These ideas grew out of the Enlightenment; their roots are in Rousseau's Discourse on Inequality, Humboldt's Limits of State Action, Kant's insistence, in his defense of the French Revolution, that freedom is the precondition for acquiring the maturity for freedom, not a gift to be granted when such maturity is achieved. With the development of industrial capitalism, a new and unanticipated system of injustice, it is libertarian socialism that has preserved and extended the radical humanist message of the Enlightenment and the classical liberal ideals that were perverted into an ideology to sustain the emerging social order. In fact, on the very same assumptions that led classical liberalism to oppose the intervention of the state in social life, capitalist social relations are also intolerable. ~ Noam Chomsky
Ideals quotes by Noam Chomsky
The various forms of education or 'normalization' imposed upon an individual consist in making him or her change points of subjectification, always moving towards a higher, nobler one in closer conformity with the supposed ideal. Then from the point of subjectification issues a subject of enunciation, as a function of a mental reality determined by that point. Then from the subject of enunciation issues a subject of the statement, in other words, a subject bound to statements in conformity with a dominant reality ~ Gilles Deleuze
Ideals quotes by Gilles Deleuze
I hated labels anyway. People didn't fit in slots
prostitute, housewife, saint
like sorting the mail. We were so mutable, fluid with fear and desire, ideals and angles, changeable as water. ~ Janet Fitch
Ideals quotes by Janet Fitch
Orchids were not made by an ideal engineer; they are jury-rigged from a limited set of available components. ~ Stephen Jay Gould
Ideals quotes by Stephen Jay Gould
Do not expect Plato's ideal republic; be satisfied with even the smallest step forward, and consider this no small achievement. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Ideals quotes by Marcus Aurelius
There are two generic and invariable features that characterize utopias. One is the content: the authors of utopias paint what they consider to be ideal societies; translating this into the language of mathematics, we might say that utopias bear a + sign. The other feature, organically growing out of the content, is to be found in the form: a utopia is always static; it is always descriptive and has no, of almost no, plot dynamics. ~ Yevgeny Zamyatin
Ideals quotes by Yevgeny Zamyatin
I do not refute ideals, I just out on gloves when I deal with them ... ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Ideals quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
For me, marriage is a grotesque, unforgiving, clunky contrivance. Yet society pushes it as a shimmering ideal. ~ George Meyer
Ideals quotes by George Meyer
It struck him that the truly characteristic thing about modern life was not its cruelty and insecurity, but simply its bareness, its dinginess, its listlessness. Life, if you looked about you, bore no resemblance not only to the lies that streamed out of the telescreens, but even to the ideals that the party was trying to achieve. ~ George Orwell
Ideals quotes by George Orwell
It is part of the amazing originality of Christ that there is to be found in his teaching no word whatever which suggests a difference in the spiritual ideals, the spheres, or the potentialities of men and women. ~ Maude Royden
Ideals quotes by Maude Royden
Each model I have represents a type of ideal women to me. ~ Yves Saint-Laurent
Ideals quotes by Yves Saint-Laurent
It's difficult to put your own bare ass out on the limb every time you sit down to write a poem. But that's really sort of the ideal. Because if we don't discover something about ourselves and our world in the making of a poem, chances are it's not going to be a very good poem. So what I'm saying is that a lot of our best poets could be better poets if they wrote less and risked more in what they do. ~ Sam Hamill
Ideals quotes by Sam Hamill
I wish to say that we Anarchists have never changed our position. We are Anarchists as of old and still pursue the same ideals. ~ Federica Montseny
Ideals quotes by Federica Montseny
Even when you cherish democratic ideals, it is never easy to turn them into effective democratic institutions. This process will take decades. ~ Condoleezza Rice
Ideals quotes by Condoleezza Rice
A fraternity is an association of men, selected in their college days by democratic processes, because of their adherence to common ideals and aspirations. ~ Newton D. Baker
Ideals quotes by Newton D. Baker
Those who would sacrifice a generation to realize an ideal are the enemies of mankind. ~ Eric Hoffer
Ideals quotes by Eric Hoffer
I'm the kind of parent who asks my kids questions like, 'What would be your ideal thing to do in the summer?' ~ Dwyane Wade
Ideals quotes by Dwyane Wade
People do things in the names of good, and in the name of ideals, but the world isn't that simple. So they end up doing things that aren't necessarily good. Even if they think they're doing the right thing, but when viewed from a different perspective they can look barbaric and crazy. ~ Matt Damon
Ideals quotes by Matt Damon
If we fight a war and win it with H-bombs, what history will remember is not the ideals we were fighting for, but the methods we used to accomplish them. These methods will be compared to the warfare of Genghis Khan who ruthlessly killed every last inhabitant of Persia. ~ Hans Bethe
Ideals quotes by Hans Bethe
Let the will embrace the highest ideals freely and with infinite strength, but let action first take hold of what lies closest. ~ Franz Grillparzer
Ideals quotes by Franz Grillparzer
The effort of building an ideal society always leads to violence, often to very extensive violence. Because, whether we like it or not, it is not possible to create an ideal society with imperfect people. And this, unfortunately, we are. So the main purpose for Nazism as well as for Communism was to create a 'new person'. In order to make room for it, the world needed to be rid of its non-perfect models. ~ Mart Laar
Ideals quotes by Mart Laar
The perception of the West as mostly a "knight of democracy" has been replaced with the disappointed belief that pragmatism, often cynical and selfish, lies at the core of Western policies. For many Russians it was a grave disillusion, a crushing of ideals. ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Ideals quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Cities can be places that represent the best of our ideals: where Americans of all different backgrounds can come together and, through their interactions, and even through their unity, spawn true American greatness. ~ Cory Booker
Ideals quotes by Cory Booker
Shakespeare has way too many lines. My ideal theatre piece is about 40 minutes long with no interval. ~ Daniel Craig
Ideals quotes by Daniel Craig
You're going to turn it into a fascist corporate theme park where the few people who can still afford the price of admission no longer have an ounce of freedom. ~ Ernest Cline
Ideals quotes by Ernest Cline
The man of the future who will redeem us not only from the hitherto reigning ideal but also from that which was bound to grow out of it, the great nausea, the will to nothingness, nihilism; this bell stroke of noon and of the great decision that liberates the will again and restores its goal to the earth and his hope to man; this Antichrist and anti-nihilist; this victor over God and nothingness - he must come one day. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Ideals quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it. The ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant material relationships grasped as ideas. ~ Karl Marx
Ideals quotes by Karl Marx
My worst mistake has been not grasping that time goes by. It was going by and there I was, set in the attitude of the ideal wife of an ideal husband. Instead of bringing our sexual relationship to life again I brooded happily over memories of our former nights together. ~ Simone De Beauvoir
Ideals quotes by Simone De Beauvoir
It's not that parents love their children less than in generations past. It's that they no longer receive consistent societal support for the belief that parenting is their highest priority ... TV messages championed rather then detracted from wholesome ideals ... maybe "the old days" before the societal changes of the '60s weren't perfect, but they allowed a bevy of family-friendly forces to surround parents with encouragement for their mission ... ~ Diane Medved
Ideals quotes by Diane Medved
There are two ways to think about all this. One way is that life is absurd to start with and that only a mad man goes out and tries to change the world, to fight for good and against evil. The other way is that life is indeed absurd to start with and that it can be given meaning only if you live it for your ideals, visions and poetic truths, and despite all the skepticism of all the Sancho Panzas' in the world, saddle up whatever worn out horse you've got and go after those visions. ~ Leonard Bernstein
Ideals quotes by Leonard Bernstein
