Time is the empty space that allows knowledge
let alone wisdom
to grow. ~ John Hunter
John Hunter quotes by John Hunter
The teacher calls on the first student whose hand went up, and everybody else understands that their participation is no longer required, and so they may immediately disengage. ~ John Hunter
John Hunter quotes by John Hunter
It's absolutely absurd to even consider voting on Sunday alcohol sales. I am opposed to alcohol period. It doesn't do anybody any good in the long run. It's a dangerous drug. ~ John Hunter
John Hunter quotes by John Hunter
If I see myself only in terms of myself, I am always going to be wrong. To fully understand who I am and what I am capable of, I need to always see myself in terms of a community. ~ John Hunter
John Hunter quotes by John Hunter
We have to accept that any action we take might promote an equal and opposite reaction that we do not want. We have to realize that even the most noble actions or most obviously correct course can have its dark side that we cannot control or reason our way out of. The fighter of the "just war" must understand that her actions will result in the deaths of other humans; many of whom may be innocent. The pacifist who refuses all war must realize that his inaction might likewise result in the deaths of the innocent. There are no actions without contradiction
and yet we must act, for not to act is also a contradictory action with both positive and negative effects. ~ John Hunter
John Hunter quotes by John Hunter
Well, I don't know how they define that. But they have this Texas blues thing blown kinda out of proportion. I am a Long John Hunter blues, before and after, that's what I am. ~ John Hunter
John Hunter quotes by John Hunter
Some physiologists will have it that the stomach is a mill; others, that it is a fermenting vat; others, again that it is a stew-pan; but in my view of the matter, it is neither a mill, a fermenting vat nor a stew-pan, but a stomach gentlemen, a stomach. ~ John Hunter
John Hunter quotes by John Hunter
We had every kind of audience you could name. Young, old, not-so-old, some older than old, some younger than young: they were there, they were there! There was everything. ~ John Hunter
John Hunter quotes by John Hunter
I came from the country, and when I came to the city, I was ridin' high, you know. I was seeing more lights than I ever dreamed to shine in the world. 'Cos where I came from, there wasn't too many lights. Bugs made a lot of light, but after that there wasn't no lights. ~ John Hunter
John Hunter quotes by John Hunter
It was in the attempt to ascertain the interrelationships between species that experiments n genetics were first made. The words "evolution" and "origin of species" are now so intimately associated with the name of Darwin that we are apt to forger that the idea of common descent had been prominent in the mnds of naturalists before he wrote, and that, for more than half a century, zealous investigators had been devoting themselves to the experimental study of that possibility. Prominent among this group of experimenters may be mentioned Koelreauter, John Hunter, Herbert Knight, Gartner, Jordan. Naudin, Godron, Lecoq, Wichura
men whose names are familiar to every reader of Animals and Plants unders Domestication. ~ William Bateson
John Hunter quotes by William Bateson
Don't think, try. - John Hunter ~ Arthur Herman
John Hunter quotes by Arthur Herman
Happiness is something that just happens because of the arrangement of circumstances, but joy endures in spite of circumstances. ~ John Hunter
John Hunter quotes by John Hunter
Yeah, I was a local hero. It was great for me, 'cos I had a full house every night all night seven nights a week for five years that I played. The next five years I just played five days a week, but I still had a full house every night. ~ John Hunter
John Hunter quotes by John Hunter
I developed my style by pickin' a lot of cotton, plowin' that ole mule every day. I just got the rhythm, and any rhythm I need I know where it is; I know where to find it. ~ John Hunter
John Hunter quotes by John Hunter
Alexander Smollett, master; David Livesey, ship's doctor; Abraham Gray, carpenter's mate; John Trelawney, owner; John Hunter and Richard Joyce, owner's servants, landsmen
being all that is left faithful of the ship's company
with stores for ten days at short rations, came ashore this day and flew British colours on the log-house in Treasure Island. Thomas Redruth, owner's servant, landsman, shot by the mutineers; James Hawkins, cabin boy
'
And at the same time, I was wondering over poor Jim Hawkins' fate. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
John Hunter quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Sometimes confusion is a necessary way to slow things down until we have within us the strength and courage to find the best and truest answer instead of settling for an easier, quicker one along the way. ~ John Hunter
John Hunter quotes by John Hunter
The ability to overcome failure
to live through it and move on
is crucial. If we are not willing to face failure
if we don't have the skills to survive it
we have precluded any real creativity or risk. Failure may never become our friend, but if we are to do meaningful work, perhaps failure needs to be our companion. ~ John Hunter
John Hunter quotes by John Hunter
I just play to good people; they seem to like what I do, and the more they like it, the more I play. ~ John Hunter
John Hunter quotes by John Hunter
I have come to the conclusion that my subjective account of my motivation is largely mythical on almost all occasions. I don't know why I do things. ~ John B. S. Haldane
John Hunter quotes by John B. S. Haldane
May the pigs of fate fly you safely home. ~ John Green
John Hunter quotes by John Green
Some people are oil and water. ~ John Christopher
John Hunter quotes by John Christopher
The worst continued to worsen. What looked one day like the end proved on the next day to have been only the beginning. Nothing could have been more ingeniously designed to maximize the suffering, and also to insure that as few people as possible escape the common misfortune. The fortunate speculator who had funds to answer the first margin call presently got another and equally urgent one, and if he met that there would still be another. In the end all the money he had was extracted from him and lost. The man with the smart money, who was safely out of the market when the first crash came, naturally went back in to pick up bargains. The bargains then suffered a ruinous fall. Even the man who waited for volume of trading to return to normal and saw Wall Street become as placid as a produce market, and who then bought common stocks would see their value drop to a third or a fourth of the purchase price in the next 24 months. The Coolidge bull market was a remarkable phenomenon. The ruthlessness of its liquidation was, in its own way, equally remarkable. ~ John Kenneth Galbraith
John Hunter quotes by John Kenneth Galbraith
How funny are dogs? ~ John Marsden
John Hunter quotes by John Marsden
If nature puts a burden on a man by making him different, it also gives him a power. ~ John Fire Lame Deer
John Hunter quotes by John Fire Lame Deer
We've become a race of Peeping Toms. What people oughta do is get outside their own house and look in for a change. ~ John Michael Hayes
John Hunter quotes by John Michael Hayes
I have discovered something amazing: some people aren't just people, but a place - a whole world. Sometimes you find someone you could live in for the rest of your life. John Kite is like Narnia to me - I've pushed through his fur coat and into a land where I am Princess Duchess, High Chatter of Cair Paravel. In John Kite, people walk down the street holding pigs, and we walk onstage holding hands into the bright light, and I fly over tiny maps to great theories, and I sleep in the bathtub, still talking. I wish to be a citizen of John Kite forever - I want to move there immediately. I know he is the most amazing person in the world. Things happen with John Kite. ~ Caitlin Moran
John Hunter quotes by Caitlin Moran
Just as outlawing alcohol did not work in the 1920s, current attempts to prohibit online gambling will not work, either. ~ John Conyers
John Hunter quotes by John Conyers
If you are not a praying person, you are not a Christian. ~ John Bunyan
John Hunter quotes by John Bunyan
A person who refuses to risk change fails to grow. ~ John C. Maxwell
John Hunter quotes by John C. Maxwell
People are such idiots. As if there's something wrong with being in love. ~ John Green
John Hunter quotes by John Green
I waited for the Earth to stop spinning, for the rift to open and swallow us. Yet the ash tree remained framed in the window, refused to fall. Rain streaked the glass. Blood throbbed in my ears. Preternatural silence. The cruellest April.
I was not deceived. What I saw was samsara, illusion. The world had ended. I was sure of it. ~ John Dolan
John Hunter quotes by John Dolan
I mean I was very shy but I was also very extroverted because I was doing plays. I'd been doing plays since I was a little kid. But, I did feel like an outsider because I went to like a 'college-prep' kind of high school that had a really big football team and was known for its program so I was like this weird boy that did plays. ~ John C. Reilly
John Hunter quotes by John C. Reilly
In consequence of this perversion of the word Being, philosophers looking about for something to supply its place, laid their hands upon the word Entity, a piece of barbarous Latin, invented by the schoolmen to be used as an abstract name, in which class its grammatical form would seem to place it: but being seized by logicians in distress to stop a leak in their terminology, it has ever since been used as a concrete name. ~ John Stuart Mill
John Hunter quotes by John Stuart Mill
He [Ryan White] had a kind of angelic aura about him. And his family, too, it's like, they are going through all this suffering, and I'm living this "Life of Riley" and I'm complaining about everything, and they are living this horrific life and complaining about nothing. ~ Elton John
John Hunter quotes by Elton John
She was still real. She was still alive, She was as much a person as any other person; you're real, but not because of your body or because of your thoughts. ~ John Green
John Hunter quotes by John Green
Everybody in my neighborhood in the '40s, they played pianos. That's how people partied. They didn't try the TV, the radio was OK, records was cool, but when people wanted to party, they got around a piano. My mother played piano, my sister played. I've been around a lot of piano all my life. ~ Dr. John
John Hunter quotes by Dr. John
Some days are born ugly. From the very first light they are no damn good what ever the weather, and everbody knows it. No one knows what causes this, but on such a day people resist getting out of bed and set their heels against the day. When they are finally forced out by hunger or job they find that the day is just as lousy as they knew it would be. ~ John Steinbeck
John Hunter quotes by John Steinbeck
I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living. ~ John D. Rockefeller
John Hunter quotes by John D. Rockefeller
Maybe your stature as a fly fisherman isn't determined by how big a trout you can catch, but by how small a trout you can catch without being disappointed. ~ John Gierach
John Hunter quotes by John Gierach
Life is a gift, however long it lasts. It's God's to give and take away as He sees fit. We go through life thinking we're entitled to our ninety, but we're not entitled to anything. All we can do is trust that He knows what He's doing. That He has a plan for all of us, and that no pain He allows in our life will go unused. ~ Denise Hunter
John Hunter quotes by Denise Hunter
Amatus waited a long time, but at last he broke the silence.
"There is much I don't understand."
"That will never change," Mortis said decisively. "Except that what you don't understand will change. ~ John Barnes
John Hunter quotes by John Barnes
Don't let the things you can't do get in the way of the things you can. ~ John Wooden
John Hunter quotes by John Wooden
We judge things by their present appearances, but the Lord sees them in their consequences. ~ John Newton
John Hunter quotes by John Newton
SO WHAT ARE THE CULTURAL IDEAS BEHIND GENESIS 1? Our first proposition is that Genesis 1 is ancient cosmology. That is, it does not attempt to describe cosmology in modern terms or address modern questions. The Israelites received no revelation to update or modify their "scientific" understanding of the cosmos. They did not know that stars were suns; they did not know that the earth was spherical and moving through space; they did not know that the sun was much further away than the moon, or even further than the birds flying in the air. They believed that the sky was material (not vaporous), solid enough to support the residence of deity as well as to hold back waters. In these ways, and many others, they thought about the cosmos in much the same way that anyone in the ancient world thought, and not at all like anyone thinks today.[1] And God did not think it important to revise their thinking. ~ John H. Walton
John Hunter quotes by John H. Walton
The emphasis on original, individual work in the past years has done a great deal to produce a crop of eccentric fakes and has carried art away from the stream of tradition. Tradition is our heritage of knowledge and experience. We can't get along without it. ~ John French Sloan
John Hunter quotes by John French Sloan
Sometimes, because of its immediacy, television produces a kind of electronic parable. Berlin, for instance, on the day the Wall was opened. Rostropovich was playing his cello by the Wall that no longer cast a shadow, and a million East Berliners were thronging to the West to shop with an allowance given them by West German banks! At that moment the whole world saw how materialism had lost its awesome historic power and become a shopping list. ~ John Berger
John Hunter quotes by John Berger
Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand. ~ John Gay
John Hunter quotes by John Gay
The introduction of a substantial Government transfer tax on all transactions might prove the most serviceable reform available,with a view to mitigating the predominance of speculation in the United States. ~ John Maynard Keynes
John Hunter quotes by John Maynard Keynes
Now between the meanings of words and their sounds there is ordinarily no discoverable relation except one of accident; and it is therefore miraculous, to the mystic, when words which make sense can also make a uniform objective structure of accents and rhymes. ~ John Crowe Ransom
John Hunter quotes by John Crowe Ransom
I don't know how it is up North, of course, but down South there are times when Southern women feel a need for privacy. ~ John Lee Mahin
John Hunter quotes by John Lee Mahin
I know there's a balance/I see it when I swing past. ~ John Mellencamp
John Hunter quotes by John Mellencamp
Lawyers must pry into the recesses of the human heart, and become well acquainted with the whole moral world, that they may discover the abstract reason of all laws. ~ Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke
John Hunter quotes by Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke
Forget thyself to marble. ~ John Milton
John Hunter quotes by John Milton
Economic privation proceeds by easy stages, and so long as men suffer it patiently the outside world cares little. ~ John Maynard Keynes
