Things you plan in life usually turn out to be meaningless, things you accumulate without knowing it become your real treasure. ~ Thomas Adcock
Meaningless Things quotes by Thomas Adcock
She and Mattia were united by an invisible, elastic thread, buried under a pile of meaningless things, a thread that could exist only between two people like themselves: two people who had acknowledged their own solitude within the other. ~ Paolo Giordano
Meaningless Things quotes by Paolo Giordano
Listen, my dear Cors, why don't you forgive God for allowing pain? If He didn't allow it, human courage, bravery, nobility, and self-sacrifice would all be meaningless things. ~ Walter M. Miller Jr.
Meaningless Things quotes by Walter M. Miller Jr.
I told you, Hell-Bard. Everyone lies. It's in the way we banter with our friends. It's in the mundane greetings we give passersby. It's in the most meaningless things we do every single moment of every single day. Hundreds upon thousands of tiny, inconsequential lies. ~ Susan Dennard
Meaningless Things quotes by Susan Dennard
But if time exists only in my head, and I'm the last human being, it will end with my death. The thought cheers me. I may be in a position to murder time. The big net will tear and fall, with its sad contents, into oblivion. I'm owed some gratitude, but no one after my death will know I murdered time. Really these thoughts are quite meaningless. Things happen, and, like millions of people before me, I look for meaning in them, because my vanity will not allow me to admit that the whole meaning of an event lies in the event itself. ~ Marlen Haushofer
Meaningless Things quotes by Marlen Haushofer
When you see people doing meaningless things, you must remind yourself that it is easier for people to do meaningless things than doing meaningful things! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Meaningless Things quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
It's not the imbalances of life that will get you down-it's doing meaningless things that aren't taking you where you want to go. ~ Danielle LaPorte
Meaningless Things quotes by Danielle LaPorte
I begin to feel this tension when things that doesn't worth attention are the things that attracts attention ~ Michael Bassey Johnson
Meaningless Things quotes by Michael Bassey Johnson
... in the relentless and meaningless manner one searches for something in a nightmare, coming on doors that won't open or drawers that won't shut, struggling over and over against the same meaningless thing, not knowing why the effort seems so desperate, why the sudden sight of a chair with a shawl thrown over it inspires the mind with horror.
~ Anne Rice
Meaningless Things quotes by Anne Rice
Time will tell if it was well spent.
Time will tell where all your ideas went.
Time will allow you to achieve your goals.
Time is too precious to put on hold.

Don't waste time on meaningless things.
Take advantage of its benefits and all life brings. ~ Bianca McCormick-Johnson
Meaningless Things quotes by Bianca McCormick-Johnson
We can become so insensitive to the Spirit's prodding that we become too idle, too self absorbed and too busy with too many things that in the eyes of God, are worthless. ~ William Branks
Meaningless Things quotes by William Branks
I'm THAT complicated, mysterious, yet content with the "simple" things in life. Don't try to understand me; you won't figure me out. But you're free to like me the way I am. ~ Marwa Ayad
Meaningless Things quotes by Marwa Ayad
He could just look at people and listen to them and suddenly he'd know things about them. ~ Orson Scott Card
Meaningless Things quotes by Orson Scott Card
Student journeys which were important to me were Sicily, Greece, and Egypt, where I really saw these buildings, and that is where you're able to grasp what things mean. ~ Ben Nicholson
Meaningless Things quotes by Ben Nicholson
-You don't like confrontation?
Sometimes I'm really down for confrontation. It's kind of like a changing thing. I don't know why.

Must be something that makes me differentiate between things I want to be straight-ahead about, and things that I DON'T want to be straight-ahead about. I think that most people have that mechanism. But some people handle it differently- they just go, "Well, this is something I don't wanna do that I gotta do." Some people think, "This is something I don't wanna do that I'm gonna do- but kinda half-assed." I think I fall into THAT category, heh heh heh. ~ Jimmy McDonough
Meaningless Things quotes by Jimmy McDonough
I work pretty hard, and struggle, and things are hard, but the most important thing to remember is that I have beautiful children that I love, and I love them. ~ Steve Kimock
Meaningless Things quotes by Steve Kimock
People only need the right amount of bullshit for things to start exploding. Sad, but it's human nature. ~ Gabbo De La Parra
Meaningless Things quotes by Gabbo De La Parra
The South Vietnamese were perhaps a little bit slow in doing things, they jump on, on the problem and they try to do themselves everything. Or, they try to have some short cuts with the, those people they were dealing with. ~ Bui Diem
Meaningless Things quotes by Bui Diem
Y'know scientists are funny. We probe and measure and dissect. Invent lights without heat, weigh a caterpillar's eyebrow. But whenit comes to really important things we're as stupid as the caveman ... Like love. Makes the world go 'round, but what do we know about it? Is it a fact? Is it chemistry? Electricity? ~ Martin Berkeley
Meaningless Things quotes by Martin Berkeley
But if you were investigating a crime," said Lady Swaffham, "you'd have to begin by the usual things, I suppose - finding out what the person had been doing, and who'd been to call, and looking for a motive, wouldn't you?"

"Oh, yes," said Lord Peter, "but most of us have such dozens of motives for murderin' all sorts of inoffensive people. There's lots of people I'd like to murder, wouldn't you?"

"Heaps," said Lady Swaffham. ~ Dorothy L. Sayers
Meaningless Things quotes by Dorothy L. Sayers
Love can overcome many challenges. It's a precious treasure - worth more than all of these other miraculous things. It's the most powerful magic in the universe. Don't let it slip through your fingers. Hold onto it. Tightly. ~ Anonymous
Meaningless Things quotes by Anonymous
We have a crisis of leadership in America because our overwhelming power and wealth, earned under earlier generations of leaders, made us complacent, and for too long we have been training leaders who only know how to keep the routine going. Who can answer questions, but don't know how to ask them. Who can fulfill goals, but don't know how to set them. Who think about how to get things done, but not whether they're worth doing in the first place. What we have now are the greatest technocrats the world has ever seen, people who have been trained to be incredibly good at one specific thing, but who have no interest in anything beyond their area of exper­tise. What we don't have are leaders. What we don't have, in other words, are thinkers. People who can think for themselves. People who can formulate a new direction: for the country, for a corporation or a college, for the Army - a new way of doing things, a new way of looking at things. People, in other words, with vision. ~ William Deresiewicz
Meaningless Things quotes by William Deresiewicz
I felt the beautiful melancholy of being human, captured perfectly in the setting of a sun. Because, as with a sunset, to be human was to be in-between things; a day, bursting with desperate colour as it headed irreversibly towards night. ~ Matt Haig
Meaningless Things quotes by Matt Haig
Life is pain. We are all in pain, all the time."
"There are other things this universe has to offer," says the creature, "Light, live, touch, sensation. The way you are all made of the same pieces; the same fragments of stardust and yet you are all so different. ~ Amie Kaufman
Meaningless Things quotes by Amie Kaufman
I love American girls. They're audacious. They put more outrageous things on their bodies than anybody. ~ Azzedine Alaia
Meaningless Things quotes by Azzedine Alaia
There, in the horseshoe drive, Kelly, gullible and mortal Kelly, awaits an explanation from a bedraggled immortal. The Minotaur accepts this temporary blessing for all it is worth. There are few things that he knows, these among them: that is is inevitable, even necessary, for a creature half man and half bull to walk the face of the earth; that in the numbing span of eternity even the most monstrous among us needs love; that the minutiae of life sometimes defer to folly; that even in the most tedious unending life there comes, occasionally, hope. One simply has to wait and be ready. ~ Steven Sherrill
Meaningless Things quotes by Steven Sherrill
To me, a story can be both concrete and abstract, or a concrete story can hold abstractions. And abstractions are things that really can't be said so well with words. ~ David Lynch
Meaningless Things quotes by David Lynch
No Compromise is what the whole Gospel of Jesus is all about ... 'For I tell you ... no man can serve two masters ... ' (Matt. 6:24). In a day when believers seem to be trying to please both the world and the Lord (which is an impossible thing), when people are far more concerned about offending their friends than offending God, there is only one answer ... Deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him! ~ Keith Green
Meaningless Things quotes by Keith Green
Ask two people to tell you anything, you'll get two versions. Even easy things like directions, let alone important or semi-controversial topics like why a fight started or what a person was generally like. If you don't know something for yourself, you just can't be sure. ~ Gabrielle Zevin
Meaningless Things quotes by Gabrielle Zevin
We must praise God or live in unreality and poverty. We cannot merely believe in our minds that he is loving or wise or great. We must praise him for those things - and praise him to others - if we are to move beyond abstract knowledge to heart-changing engagement. ~ Timothy Keller
Meaningless Things quotes by Timothy Keller
I love brief habits and consider them an inestimable means for getting to know many things…My nature is designed entirely for brief habits…I always believe that here is something that will give me lasting satisfaction - brief habits, too, have this faith of passion, this faith in eternity - and that I am to be envied for having found and recognized it…But one day its time is up; the good thing parts from me, not as something that has come to nauseate me but peacefully and sated with me as I am with it - as if we had reason to be grateful to each other as we shook hands to say farewell. Even then something new is waiting at the door, along with my faith - this indestructible fool and sage! - that this new discovery will be just right, and that this will be the last time. That is what happens to me with dishes, ideas, human beings, cities, poems, music, doctrines, ways of arranging the day, and life styles. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Meaningless Things quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Stick to a task, 'til it sticks to you. Beginners are many, finishers are few. -Anonymous, as quoted in Small and Simple Things. ~ Marjorie Pay Hinckley
Meaningless Things quotes by Marjorie Pay Hinckley
If the stars are sublime, why should the earth be therefore petty? It is part of a sublime system. If the earth is to be called petty, then the stars must be called petty too. They may not even be inhabited. Perhaps they mean the movement of the vast system going on for ever, while men die. The indestructibility of matter. But if matter is indestructible, it is not what the people who use the phrase mean by matter. If matter is not conscious, man is more than matter. If a small, no matter how small, conscious thing is called petty in comparison with big, no matter how big, unconscious things, everything is made a question of size, which is absurd.... ~ Dorothy M. Richardson
Meaningless Things quotes by Dorothy M. Richardson
Phrases like Worship Service or Service of Worship are tautologies. To worship God means to serve him. Basically there are two ways to do it. One way is to do things for Him that He needs to have done - run errands for Him, carry messages for Him, fight on His side, feed His lambs, and so on. The other way is to do things for Him that you need to do - sing songs for Him, tell Him what's on your mind and in your heart, in general rejoice in Him ... ~ Frederick Buechner
Meaningless Things quotes by Frederick Buechner
I think the best war photos I have taken have always been made when a battle was actually taking place - when people were confused and scared and courageous and stupid and showed all these things. When you look at people right at the very moment of truth, everything is quite human. You take a picture at this moment with all the mistakes in it, with everything that might be confusing to the reader, but that's the right combat photo. ~ Horst Faas
Meaningless Things quotes by Horst Faas
Listen, I'm bossy. I can't help it. It's who I am and what I do. I'm pushy and I like to take over. But I'm going to work really hard not to do so much and your going to try and accept me the way I am. Flaws and all. Because I'm good in bed and I can carry heavy things and reach all the high shelves. ~ Lauren Dane
Meaningless Things quotes by Lauren Dane
All living things must grow or they will die. Adaptation to change is a characteristic of all living systems. Thus, all living things must grow, adapt, evolve, or die. Evolution is nature's creative way of pushing living organisms to higher degrees of complexity. We adapt up, not compromise down. ~ Alvin Conway
Meaningless Things quotes by Alvin Conway
In the weakness of one kind of authority, and in the fluctuation of all, the officers of an army will remain for some time mutinous and full of faction, until some popular general, who understands the art of conciliating the soldiery, and who possesses the true spirit of command, shall draw the eyes of all men upon himself. Armies will obey him on his personal account. There is no other way of securing military obedience in this state of things. ~ Edmund Burke
Meaningless Things quotes by Edmund Burke
The American Left complains that we have no right to be the world's police force. On the contrary. We've been the world's janitor for almost a century, and after September 11, it became obvious it's better, safer, and more productive to change things instead of cleaning up after the mess. ~ Tammy Bruce
Meaningless Things quotes by Tammy Bruce
Feasts and business and pleasure and enjoyments seem great things to us, whilst we think of nothing else; but as soon as we add death to them they all sink into an equal littleness. ~ William Law
Meaningless Things quotes by William Law
... it's impossible to write the whole, true story of anything. We always leave things out. We quite often put things in. Sometimes, no matter how hard we try not to, we change things. We tell the story in our own way, which might not be the same way someone else would tell it. ~ Michael Rosen
Meaningless Things quotes by Michael Rosen
She was miserable because she kept hoping things would change. If she could eradicate the hope, she could eradicate the sadness. ~ Tommy Wallach
Meaningless Things quotes by Tommy Wallach
To be serious, the things you really want to relive are things like bedtime with your daughter when she becomes incredibly entertaining 'cause she doesn't want to go to sleep. They're at their most enchanting 'cause they just want to put it off, so they do a cabaret for you. You sit there thinking, "Please don't let this end." ~ Bill Nighy
Meaningless Things quotes by Bill Nighy
[E]ven in getting the wonderful things we long for, we tend to live in want of something more[.] ~ Steve Hagen
Meaningless Things quotes by Steve Hagen
Taking in the good is not about putting a happy shiny face on everything, nor is it about turning away from the hard things in life. It's about nourishing well-being, contentment, and peace inside that are refuges you can always come from and return to. ~ Rick Hanson
Meaningless Things quotes by Rick Hanson
Sometimes we exclude things in ourselves in order to be like everybody else around us-our ethnicity, our social backgrounds, our ideas. What kind of world is it that will not allow me to be myself, and is it really good for me to be there? What part of me will die a slow death if I stay? ~ Joan D. Chittister
Meaningless Things quotes by Joan D. Chittister
The shepherds made haste, partly no doubt from human curiosity, in order to see this great thing that had been announced to them. But surely, too, they were driven by their joy on hearing that now, truly, the Saviour, the Messiah, the Lord had been born, the one so long awaited - and they would be the first to see him. How many Christians make haste today, where the things of God are concerned? Surely if anything merits haste - so the evangelist is discreetly telling us - then it is the things of God. ~ Pope Benedict XVI
Meaningless Things quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
Would it perturb you to see things as they are? To gaze at the world tranquilly and accept responsibility for your gaze, whatever it might see? ~ Jean Genet
Meaningless Things quotes by Jean Genet
I love Tumblr, I love it, it's like collaging and collecting images, it's such a fun thing to do, it's something that's really therapeutic and I don't really know why. ~ Lizzy Plapinger
Meaningless Things quotes by Lizzy Plapinger
Beware not to get caught up in the thick of thin things. ~ Neal A. Maxwell
Meaningless Things quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
Like Oz, life is full of beauty and horror. Whether you're in the magical realm or the so-called civilized one, you can look at the world around you and see both things at almost any time. But what being in Oz taught me is that no matter how horrific a situation may be, no matter how devastating or scary or chaotic, there is still always beauty in the colors of it all, even in the grays. As I look back on the last four years of my life, on everything that led me to the place where my life changed forever for a second time, I might think I wasted too many crucial years perceiving my world through a lens that leeched the color from everything I set my eyes on, but now I can forgive myself for my mistakes and maybe even be grateful for the trials I've faced. After all, a rainbow only comes out when it rains. The most spectacular rainbows are set against a backdrop of a half dark sky where gray clouds hover and rain batters the surface of the earth, but the horizon is clear and bright - a pure, radiant blue surrounding a shining golden sun. When I'm in Oz, that rainbow is who I am - a vivid, radiant spectrum of colors with a clear bright landscape ahead only made more rich-hued and vibrant by the darkness that lies behind it. ~ Garten Gevedon
Meaningless Things quotes by Garten Gevedon
Nothing can be given or taken away; nothing has been added or subtracted; nothing increased or diminished. We stand on the same shore before the same mighty ocean. The ocean of love. There it is - in perpetuum. As much in a broken blossom, the sound of a waterfall, the swoop of a carrion bird as in the thunderous artillery of the prophet.
We move with eyes shut and ears stopped; we smash walls where doors are waiting to open to the touch; we grope for ladders, forgetting that we have wings; we pray as if God were deaf and blind, as if He were in a space. No wonder the angels in our midst are unrecognizable.
One day it will be pleasant to remember these things. ~ Henry Miller
Meaningless Things quotes by Henry Miller
All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us. This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one's brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon. ~ Roger Bacon
Meaningless Things quotes by Roger Bacon
Try to find something that makes you happy. Your life is not going to get easier once Queen Levana is your wife. If you had even one small thing that brought you happiness, or hope that things could someday be better, then maybe that would be enough to sustain you. ~ Marissa Meyer
Meaningless Things quotes by Marissa Meyer
See how ignorant you are? You don't even know why you need to know the things you don't know yet. ~ Orson Scott Card
Meaningless Things quotes by Orson Scott Card
The things I felt ... about certain painters of the past that ... inspired me, like Cezanne and Manet ... that complete losing of oneself in the work to such an extent that the work itself ... felt as if a living organism was posited there on the canvas, on this surface ... That's truly ... the act of creation. ~ Philip Guston
Meaningless Things quotes by Philip Guston
