It is not we Greeks alone who are the inheritors of Greek civilisation... all, of whatever nationality, who share the ancient Greek attitude to life, are Greeks. ~ Leonard Cottrell
John Papadimitriou quotes by Leonard Cottrell
I'd like to be in anything that tells a good story and has an interesting character. ~ John Boyega
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Boyega
Set the mind to work, and apply the thoughts vigorously to the business, for it holds in the struggles of the mind, as in those of war, that to think we shall conquer is to conquer. ~ John Locke
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Locke
The last officer named was Nathanael Greene of Rhode Island; a man of limited education and military experience limited to two years of peacetime militia duty, he nevertheless was destined to be the best of the lot.27 ~ John Ferling
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Ferling
Generative ideas emerge from joint thinking, from significant conversations, and from sustained, shared struggles to achieve new insights from partners in thought. ~ Vera John-Steiner
John Papadimitriou quotes by Vera John-Steiner
People asking questions, lost in confusion, well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions. ~ John Lennon
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Lennon
Every journey toward a dream is personal, and as a result, so is the price that must be paid for it. ~ John C. Maxwell
John Papadimitriou quotes by John C. Maxwell
....The important thing is not where we die but how we live. Being native to a place is a labor of love and a life's work. It means stitching your life to that of a place with a thread spun from mindfulness, attentiveness, husbandry, pilgrimage, and witness. Stories knit these components of practice together. Flung outward, they clothe our relationships; flung inward, they map the soul. Stories enable us to enter and dwell attentively in a place; they enable us to travel and return, then eventually to leave for good. We need stories to stay alive spiritually: without them we would all turn into hungry ghosts. Stories are the only things we can take with us out of this world. They are the wings that bear us up or the chains that drag us down. In the end, it is stories that enable us to die. ~ John Tallmadge
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Tallmadge
The Islam of the 18th, 19th and first half of the 20th century was a poor thing. Nobody bothered about it. Islam was that funny sort of pure system of beliefs that depressed people in the Middle East held as their religion. ~ John Keegan
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Keegan
One world: everybody fucks everybody. When he thinks of all the fucking there's been in the world and all the fucking there's going to be, and none of it for him, here he sits in this stuffy car dying, his heart just sinks. He'll never fuck anybody again in his lifetime except poor Janice Springer, he sees this possibility ahead of him straight and grim as the known road. ~ John Updike
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Updike
She was a tall woman with a wide smile,
good tits and a way of licking mayonnaise out the corner of her mouth which suggested she might be
equally good at licking mayonnaise out the corner of yours. ~ M. John Harrison
John Papadimitriou quotes by M. John Harrison
Wealth is a monster. It takes a month to learn to control it financially. And many years to learn to control it psychologically. ~ John Fowles
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Fowles
Where'e're I go, my Soul shall stay with thee:
'Tis but my Shadow I take away ... ~ John Dryden
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Dryden
History is not a burden on the memory but an illumination of the soul. ~ John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton

Lopiano, Senior V.P. XEROX CORPORATION ~ Spencer Johnson
John Papadimitriou quotes by Spencer Johnson
Only the most reckless, self-indulgent of men would deny Aquinas's conclusion, God. Albeit a concealed one, the presence of an overmind is self-evident and necessary, yet in the same breath, only the most negligent and asinine would terminate the enquiry at such a premature rung, believing as the theologian William Paley believed that the earthly design is inherently beneficial. ~ John Zande
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Zande
This use of building blocks to generate internal models is a pervasive feature of complex adaptive systems. ~ John Henry Holland
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Henry Holland
We know great Nature's pow'r, Mother of things, whose vast unbounded sway From the deep centre all around extends Wide to the flaming barriers of the world. We feel her power; we strive not to repress (Vainly repress'd, or to deformity) Her lawful growth: ours be the task alone To check her rude excrescencies, to prune Her wanton overgrowth, and where she strays In uncouth shapes, to lead her gently back, With prudent hand, to form and better use. ~ John Armstrong
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Armstrong
Will you give my kite a lift?" said my little nephew to his sister, after trying in vain to make it fly by dragging it along the ground. Lucy very kindly took it up and threw it into the air, but, her brother neglecting to run off at the same moment, the kite fell down again. 2. "Ah! now, how awkward you are!" said the little fellow. "It was your fault entirely," answered his sister. "Try again, children," said I. 3. Lucy once more took up the kite. But now John was in too great a hurry; he ran off so suddenly that he twitched the kite out of her hand, and it fell flat as before. "Well, who is to blame now?" asked Lucy. "Try again," said I. 4. They did, and with more care; but a side ~ William Holmes McGuffey
John Papadimitriou quotes by William Holmes McGuffey
A question arises whether all the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judicial, shall be left in this body? I think a people cannot be long free, nor ever happy, whose government is in one Assembly. ~ John Adams
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Adams
Didn't know anyone could see it," Samuel said. "You know, Lee, I think of my life as a kind of music, not always good music but still having form and melody. And my life has not been a full orchestra for a long time now. A single note only - and that note unchanging sorrow. I'm not alone in my attitude, Lee. It seems to me that too many of us conceive of a life as ending in defeat. ~ John Steinbeck
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Steinbeck
Usually God favours the people who try to do good. So, when you find that the crowd is desperately trying to sell, help them and buy. When you find that the crowd is overenthusiastically trying to buy, help them and sell. It usually works out. ~ John Templeton
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Templeton
My father, John Steinbeck, was a man who held human history in great reverence, and in particular the biographies of those people who had risked their lives, their fortunes, and their worldly honor to defend the rights and prerogatives of those who were powerless to defend themselves. ~ Thomas Steinbeck
John Papadimitriou quotes by Thomas Steinbeck
AGAPE Today no one has come to inquire, nor have they wanted anything from me this afternoon. I have not seen a single cemetery flower in so happy a procession of lights. Forgive me, Lord! I have died so little! This afternoon everyone, everyone goes by without asking or begging me anything. And I do not know what it is they forget, and it is heavy in my hands like something stolen. I have come to the door, and I want to shout at everyone: - If you miss something, here it is! Because in all the afternoons of this life, I do not know how many doors are slammed on a face, and my soul takes something that belongs to another. Today nobody has come ; and today I have died so little in the afternoon! Translated by John Knoepfle ~ Robert Bly
John Papadimitriou quotes by Robert Bly
To be in theater you have to be a kind of psychologist, for you're always trying to understand character and motives. ~ John Eldredge
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Eldredge
The media in America has become so cowed and compromised. ~ John Sayles
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Sayles
We were smothered in advice. We were told the food to take, otherwise we would starve; what lines of communications to leave open; secret methods of getting our stuff out. And the hardest thing in the world to explain was that all we wanted to do was to report what Russian people were like, and what they wore, and how they acted, what the farmers talked about, and what they were doing about rebuilding the destroyed parts of their country. This was the hardest thing in the world to explain. We found that thousands of people were suffering from acute Moscowitis - a state which permits the belief of any absurdity and the shoving away of any facts. Eventually, of course, we found that the Russians are suffering from Washingtonitis, the same disease. We discovered that just as we are growing horns and tails on the Russians, so the Russians are growing horns and tails on us. ~ John Steinbeck
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Steinbeck
Do not practise excessive humility. ~ John Todd
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Todd
These eyes, tho' clear To outward view of blemish or of spot, Bereft of light, their seeing have forgot, Nor to their idle orbs doth sight appear Of sun, or moon, or star, throughout the year, Or man, or woman. Yet I argue not Against Heaven's hand or will, not bate a jot Of heart or hope; but still bear up and steer Right onward. ~ John Milton
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Milton
Only love makes fruitful the soul. The sense of form that both had in such high degree prevented much demonstration; but to be with him, do things for him, to admire, and credit him with perfection; and, since she could not exactly wear the same clothes or speak in the same clipped, quiet, decisive voice, to dislike the clothes and voices of other men - all this was precious to her beyond everything. ~ John Galsworthy
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Galsworthy
Therefore to make pretensions about honoring him more, while not calling people to the most radical, soul-freeing satisfaction in God alone, is self-contradictory. It won't happen. God is glorified in His people by the way we experience him, not merely by the way we think about him. Indeed the devil thinks more true thoughts about God in one day than a saint does in a lifetime, and God is not honored by it. The problem with the devil is not his theology, but his desires. Our chief end is to glorify God, the great Object. We do so fully when we treasure him. desire him, delight in him so supremely that we let goods and kindred go and display his love to the poor and the lost. ~ John Piper
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Piper
Go and do, don't sit and stew. ~ John Bytheway
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Bytheway
Certainly it is true that the constant striving for something better-the price of progress-adds to the total of human happiness. It stimulates industry by creating new wants. It multiplies opportunities for the employment of brain and brawn. And it bridges the gaps between peaks of prosperity and helps take up the slack during times of reaction. ~ John Willys
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Willys
Songwriting is not particularly easy for me. I think it would be easy for me if I didn't have such high restrictions and feelings about what I want my music to be. I'm not precious at all when it comes to producing music and I can bring that to an artist and let them expand their horizons. ~ John Congleton
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Congleton
Investment is crucial. Because the truth is, you only get jobs and growth in the economy when people invest money, at their own risk, in setting up a business or expanding an existing business. ~ John Key
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Key
I had to be right in never talking about what you could not change, and I had to make many people agree that I was right. None of them ever accused me of being responsible for what had happened to Phineas, either because they could not believe it or because they could not understand it. I would have talked about that, but they would not, and I would not talk about Phineas in any other way. ~ John Knowles
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Knowles
As the blood of Christ is the fountain of all merit, so the Spirit of Christ is the fountain of all spiritual life; and until he quicken us and infuse the principle of the divine life into our souls, we can put forth no hand, or vital act of faith, to lay hold upon Jesus Christ. ~ John Flavel
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Flavel
The balance of power in a society accompanies the balance of property in land. ~ John Adams
John Papadimitriou quotes by John Adams
Astonishing times. Who would have imagined that the Crazy Gang would yield a Hollywood film star (Vinny Jones), a British television ever-present (John Fashanu) and now a televised African dance champion? ~ Giles Smith
