There are people out there who get annoyed at the story that Djuna barnes, rather than identify as a lesbian, preferred to say that she 'just loved Thelma.' Gertrude Stein reputedly made similar claims, albeit not in those exact terms, about Alice. I get why it's politically maddening, but I've also always thought it a little romantic - the romance of letting an individual experience of desire take precedence over a categorical one. ~ Maggie Nelson
Precedence quotes by Maggie Nelson
It should be carefully noted that Jesus did not say, "I am one of the equally good ways" or "I am a better way than the others, I am an aspect of truth; I am a fragment of the life." Instead, His claim was absolute, and allegiance to Him as the Savior of the world, was to take precedence over all the claims of men and religions. ~ Walter Martin
Precedence quotes by Walter Martin
Justice of right is always to take precedence over might. ~ Barbara Jordan
Precedence quotes by Barbara Jordan
the mind itself suggests to itself many perverted, vicious forms of pleasure? - in the first place arrogance, excessive self-esteem, swaggering precedence over other men, a shortsighted, nay, a blind devotion to his own interests, dissolute luxury, excessive delight springing from the most trifling and childish causes, and also talkativeness, pride that takes a pleasure in insulting others, sloth, and the decay of a dull mind which goes to sleep over itself. ~ Seneca.
Precedence quotes by Seneca.
I do not like 'But yet,' it does allay
The good precedence; fie upon 'But yet'!
'But yet' is as a gaoler to bring forth
Some monstrous malefactor. ~ William Shakespeare
Precedence quotes by William Shakespeare
A pig whose diet is fifty to seventy percent peanuts grows a ham of incredibly sweet and delicate succulence which, well-cured, well-kept and well-cooked, will take precedence over any other ham the world affords. ~ Rex Stout
Precedence quotes by Rex Stout
Sidney had never been very good at differentiating between tasks that were urgent and those which were important, and often those tasks that seemed urgent, but were not important, took precedence over the duties that were important, but not urgent. ~ James Runcie
Precedence quotes by James Runcie
The laws of Nature take precedence of all human laws. The purpose of all human laws is one - to defeat the laws of Nature. This is the case among all the nations, both civilized and savage. It is a grotesquerie, but when the human race is not grotesque it is because it is asleep and losing its opportunity. ~ Mark Twain
Precedence quotes by Mark Twain
the sanctity of life always takes precedence over the quality of life...For life defines what is the definitive intrinsic attribute, of that which is the natural order of things...While the later, is an incidental ingredient of that concatenation. ~ -Daryavesh Rothmensch
Precedence quotes by -Daryavesh Rothmensch
One of the chief reasons desire and hatred arise is that we are overly attached to the current flow of life. We have a sense that it will last forever, and with that sort of attitude we become fixated on superficialities - material possessions and temporary friends and situations. To overcome this ignorance, you need to reflect on the fact that a day is coming when you will not be here. Even though there is no certainty that you will die tonight, when you cultivate an awareness of death, you appreciate that you could die tonight. With this attitude, if there is something you can do that will help in both this life and the next, you will give it precedence over something that would help only this life in a superficial way. ~ Dalai Lama XIV
Precedence quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
The only thing that mattered was the quarter century or so he had remaining would be HIS life, to live out as he chose and in his own best interests. Nothing took precedence over that...The possibilities...were endless. ~ Ken Grimwood
Precedence quotes by Ken Grimwood
It was not unusual to be called Son of God in ancient Judaism. God calls David his son: "today I have begotten you" (Psalms 2:7). He even calls Israel his "first-born son" (Exodus 4:22). But in every case, Son of God is meant as a title, not a description. Paul's view of Jesus as the literal son of God is without precedence in second Temple Judaism. ~ Reza Aslan
Precedence quotes by Reza Aslan
There are certain things that come along that take precedence over all other events, like natural catastrophes, car accidents, and unexpected meetings with rockstars. These things suck you entirely and leave no room for you to wonder how bored or worried other people might be while you are so completely engaged. ~ Dakota Lane
Precedence quotes by Dakota Lane
My relationships with my loved ones always take precedence over work. ~ Lexa Doig
Precedence quotes by Lexa Doig
People are salaried for the work they do, not the specific hours they sit at their desks. When you ding salaried employees for showing up five minutes late even though they routinely stay late and put in time on the weekend, you send the message that policies take precedence over performance. ~ Travis Bradberry
Precedence quotes by Travis Bradberry
To see high merit and be unable to raise it to office, to raise it but not to give such promotion precedence, is just destiny. ~ Confucius
Precedence quotes by Confucius
For the record, I'm not an indecisive person, and I'm not a coward. I just have a very detailed imaginary life, and it sometimes takes precedence over what's actually happening around me. ~ Elizabeth Bard
Precedence quotes by Elizabeth Bard
In a world of increasing inequality, the legitimacy of institutions that give precedence to the property rights of 'the Haves' over the human rights of 'the Have Nots' is inevitably called into serious question. ~ David Korten
Precedence quotes by David Korten
There are only two places in the world where time takes precedence over the job to be done. School and prison. ~ William Glasser
Precedence quotes by William Glasser
Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great. ~ Victor Hugo
Precedence quotes by Victor Hugo
Why such a massacre had occurred, the Omegans could only speculate. Some thought it may have been to stop a large-scale emigration out of America to a fabled Utopian society; others wondered if it was intended to create fear in the populace – fear of cults, fear of Communism, fear of anything foreign; and still others believed it was to create a precedence whereby any groups labelled a cult would be vilified without due diligence by the public. ~ James Morcan
Precedence quotes by James Morcan
Friendship evangelism is great, but it does not enable the gospel to travel beyond our social networks, unless there are intentional attempts to build friendships with people who are not like us. John Mark Hobbins of London City Mission says, 'Many people live in networks which take precedence over their address, and many churches have grown because of this. But the reality for many people living in social housing or in cheaper housing is that their address is very likely to define their daily life. ~ Tim Chester
Precedence quotes by Tim Chester
The way she saw it, there were some matters of style that simply needed to take precedence over practicality, and right at the top had to be the rule that said one did not wear black dress pants and pink Uggs to a meeting with the FBI. Not anyone who didn't want to look like a jackass, anyway. ~ Julie James
Precedence quotes by Julie James
A son or daughter can tell their parents, they love them, all the time, and it's wonderful to hear. That expression of love and appreciation is warm in a parent's heart. If a son or daughter wants to completely capture their parent's heart, make them proud. Live every single day with integrity, honor and kindness. Your actions will always take precedence over your words. ~ Ron Baratono
Precedence quotes by Ron Baratono
With that gentleness I can be bold; with that economy I can be liberal; shrinking from taking precedence of others, I can become a vessel of the highest honour. ~ Laozi
Precedence quotes by Laozi
In the economy of the body, the limbic highway takes precedence over the neural pathways. We were designed and built to feel, and there is no thought, no state of mind, that is not also a feeling state.
Nobody can feel too much, though many of us work very hard at feeling too little.
Feeling is frightening. ~ Jeanette Winterson
Precedence quotes by Jeanette Winterson
And, finally, groups have never thirsted after
truth. They demand illusions, and cannot do without them. They constantly give what is unreal precedence
over what is real; they are almost as strongly influenced
by what is untrue as by what is true. They
have an evident tendency not to distinguish between
the two. ~ Sigmund Freud
Precedence quotes by Sigmund Freud
Historically the opposition to abortion and birth control ... stemmed from the urgency of the need to decrease the mortality and morbidity rates and to increase the population ... in the matter of abortion the human rights of the mother with her family must take precedence over the survival of a few weeks' old foetus without sense or sensibility. ~ Edith Summerskill, Baroness Summerskill
Precedence quotes by Edith Summerskill, Baroness Summerskill
In all things, the heart must take precedence. The heart rules over all things, and all things come from the heart. ~ Hiroyuki Asada
Precedence quotes by Hiroyuki Asada
For scholarship - if it is to be scholarship - requires, in addition to liberty, that the truth take precedence over all sectarian interests, including self-interest. ~ John Charles Polanyi
Precedence quotes by John Charles Polanyi
If any earthly institution or custom conflicts with God's will, it is your Christian duty to oppose it. You must never allow the transitory, evanescent demands of man-made institutions to take precedence over the eternal demands of the Almighty God. ~ Martin Luther
Precedence quotes by Martin Luther
I always ask young writers, 'Are you certain you want to be a writer? If you're absolutely sure, then do it.' If you really want to write, writing has to take precedence over everything else, except for taking care of your loved ones. It has to be more important than any possession, more important than fame. We hear about just a few writers who get famous, but most of them don't. It's got to mean more than that. ~ Herbert Gold
Precedence quotes by Herbert Gold
The supreme principle of socialism is that man takes precedence over things, life over property, and hence, work over capital; that power follows creation, and not possession; that man must not be governed by circumstances, but circumstances must be governed by man. ~ Erich Fromm
Precedence quotes by Erich Fromm
Kids absolutely not reading. I think it's because they're so screen-oriented [TVs, computers, smartphones]. They do read - girls in particular read a lot. They have a tendency to go toward the paranormal, romances, Twilight and stuff like that. And then it starts to taper off because other things take precedence, like the Kardashian sisters. ~ Stephen King
Precedence quotes by Stephen King
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled. ~ Richard Feynman
Precedence quotes by Richard Feynman
Animals struggle with each other for food or for leadership, but they do not, like human beings, struggle with each other for thatthat stands for food or leadership: such things as our paper symbols of wealth (money, bonds, titles), badges of rank to wear on our clothes, or low-number license plates, supposed by some people to stand for social precedence. For animals the relationship in which one thing stands for something else does not appear to exist except in very rudimentary form. ~ S.I. Hayakawa
Precedence quotes by S.I. Hayakawa
Because he knew that for other people their own social obligations took precedence of the death of a
friend, and could put himself in her place by dint of his instinctive
politeness. ~ Marcel Proust
Precedence quotes by Marcel Proust
The lily and the rose in her fair face striving for precedence. ~ Nathaniel Parker Willis
Precedence quotes by Nathaniel Parker Willis
There was only one four-lettered word having precedence over life itself and it was LOVE. ~ Faraaz Kazi
Precedence quotes by Faraaz Kazi
Oh, if Shakespeare says it, that's all right. ~ L. Frank Baum
Precedence quotes by L. Frank Baum
But the strict rules of precedence produced much odder situations: fathers taking their daughters in to dinner since the girls were the highest-ranking women there; young boys called down from the schoolroom to sit at the head of the table; a general yielding place to his aide-de-camp because the latter was a lord. ~ Carol Wallace
Precedence quotes by Carol Wallace
I do agree with Ms. Post about one thing, though; the legal status of prostitution is indeed a measure of a society, and it does indeed set a tone. When government is allowed to criminalize the consensual behavior of rational adults, it makes a statement. When women's work is devalued as being "receptacles for men," and when sex is defined as the totality of our being (so that sale of sex is defined as sale of our whole persons), it makes a statement. When individual choices are dismissed by powerful authorities whose decisions are inflicted on those individuals by organized violence, it makes a statement. And when the sending of such "messages" takes precedence over the health and well-being of real humans, it makes a very real and truly horrifying statement. ~ Maggie McNeill
Precedence quotes by Maggie McNeill
That's been my main interest for the last 15 years, is to really make sure the story and the characters take precedence over everything else, and that I give them everything I can to make them exist as actual people. ~ Daniel Clowes
Precedence quotes by Daniel Clowes
We mistakenly assume that bodily survival has a higher precedence than ego survival. This is simply not generally true. Ego will happily destroy the body for its own sake. Look at overweight executives headed for heart attacks on the way to getting their pictures in Fortune or anorexic models suffering slow starvation on their way to getting their pictures in Vogue. Protecting ego is the general case. ~ Karl Marlantes
Precedence quotes by Karl Marlantes
see that her help is needed. Advocating means fighting for not fighting with. As I've said before in many different ways, you have to make your case in a manner that makes other people listen, and that usually means considering their needs as well as your own. You may feel as if your parents' needs take precedence over your sibling's - and they do - but this more communicative approach is likely to get more traction than making people defensive ever does. One great way to keep all of your family ~ Kimberly Guilfoyle
Precedence quotes by Kimberly Guilfoyle
At the end of the day, we are Christians, not Paulinians, and so where there is conflict between the teachings of Paul and our Lord, then we should give precedence to the words and actions of Jesus. ~ Kevin Mahoney
Precedence quotes by Kevin Mahoney
Feminism is the struggle to end sexist oppression. Therefore, it is necessarily a struggle to eradicate the ideology of domination that permeates Western culture on various levels, as well as a commitment to reorganizing society so that the self-development of people can take precedence over imperialism, economic expansion, and material desires. ~ Bell Hooks
Precedence quotes by Bell Hooks
Racial stereotyping. For Martin Luther King, Jr., and other civil rights leaders, the sin of white racism was stereotyping all black people as inferior. It was a prejudice to be sure, but it was predicated on the assumption that all blacks were the same. King objected to stereotyping because he wanted blacks to be treated as individuals and not reduced exclusively to their racial identity (hence the meaning of his famous statement about the content of one's character taking precedence over the color of one's skin).

The postmodern left turns the civil rights model on its head. It embraces racial stereotyping -- racial identity by any other name -- and reverses it, transforming it into something positive, provided the pecking order of power is kept in place. In the new moral scheme of racial identities, black inferiority is replaced by white culpability, rendering the entire white race, with few exceptions, collectively guilty of racial oppression. The switch is justified through the logic of racial justice, but that does not change the fact that people are being defined by their racial characteristic. Racism is viewed as structural, so it is permissible to use overtly positive discrimination (i.e., affirmative action) to reorder society.

This end-justifies-the-means mentality of course predates the postmodern left. It can be found in the doctrine of affirmative action. But the racial theorists of identity politics have taken "positive" discrimination to a ~ Kim R. Holmes
Precedence quotes by Kim R. Holmes
Nature will take precedence over the needs of the modern man. ~ Stewart Udall
Precedence quotes by Stewart Udall
The principle is twofold, do not forget. The book, as a book, belongs to the author, but as a thought, it belongs – the word is not too extreme – to the human race. All intelligences, all minds, are eligible, all own it. If one of these two rights, the right of the writer and the right of the human mind, were to be sacrificed, it would certainly be the right of the writer, because the public interest is our only concern, and that must take precedence in anything that comes before us. ~ Victor Hugo
Precedence quotes by Victor Hugo
Journalism has become a sort of competitive screeching: what is trivial but noisy and immediate takes precedence over important matters that develop over time. ~ Ted Koppel
Precedence quotes by Ted Koppel
Beware of those who would pit the dead prophets against the living prophets, for the living prophets always take precedence. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Precedence quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
Fortunately the essence of this revelation did not escape Mary despite the angel's obscure speech, and, much surprised, she asked him, So Jesus is my son and the son of the Lord, Woman, what are you saying, show some respect for rank and precedence, what you must say is the son of the Lord and me, Of the Lord and of you, No, of the Lord and of you, You're confusing me, just answer my question, is Jesus our son, You mean to say the Lord's son because you only served to bear the child, So the Lord didn't choose me, Don't be absurd ( ... ) Is there any real proof that it was the Lord's seed which engendered my first-born, Well, it's a delicate matter, and what you're demanding is nothing less than a paternity test which in these mixed unions, no matter how many analyses, tests, and globule counts one carries out, can never give conclusive results. ~ Jose Saramago
Precedence quotes by Jose Saramago
The cosmere, unfortunately, takes precedence over free food. Watch yourself, Dalinar. Life becomes dangerous, and you're at the center of it. ~ Brandon Sanderson
Precedence quotes by Brandon Sanderson
Action takes precedence over study. ~ Judah The Prince
Precedence quotes by Judah The Prince
There is no doubt that many expensive national projects may add to our prestige or serve science. But none of them must take precedence over human needs. As long as Congress does not revise its priorities, our crisis is not just material, it is a crisis of the spirit. Considering the city of New York's financial shortfall. ~ Nelson Rockefeller
Precedence quotes by Nelson Rockefeller
What is line? It is life. A line must live at each point along its course in such a way that the artist's presence makes itself felt above that of the model. With the writer, line takes precedence over form and content. It runs through the words he assembles. It strikes a continuous note unperceived by ear or eye. It is, in a way, the soul's style, and if the line ceases to have a life of its own, if it only describes an arabesque, the soul is missing and the writing dies. ~ Jean Cocteau
Precedence quotes by Jean Cocteau
Today the telephone takes precedence over everything. It reaches a point of terrorism, particularly at dinnertime. ~ Niels Diffrient
Precedence quotes by Niels Diffrient
We now live in a world where counter-intuitive bullshitting is valorized, where the pose of argument is more important than the actual pursuit of truth, where clever answers take precedence over profound questions. ~ Ta-Nehisi Coates
Precedence quotes by Ta-Nehisi Coates
So there is something perhaps more difficult to conceive of, sometimes born of resignation and sometimes not- a life in which not getting it is the point and not the problem; in which the project is to learn how not to ride the bicycle, how not to understand the poem. Or to put it the other way round, this would be a life in which getting it – the will to get it, the ambition to get it – was the problem; in which wanting to be an accomplice didn't take precedence over making up one's mind. ~ Adam Phillips
Precedence quotes by Adam Phillips
Bertolt Brecht's observation in The Threepenny Opera that eating takes precedence over morality. Emerging ~ Satyajit Das
Precedence quotes by Satyajit Das
Most men and women born in the fifties or earlier were socialized to believe that marriages and/or committed romantic bonds of any kind should take precedence over all other relationships. Had I been evaluating my relationships from a standpoint that emphasized growth rather than duty and obligation, I would have understood that abuse irreparably undermines bonds. All too often women believe it is a sign of commitment, an expression of love, to endure unkindness or cruelty, to forgive and forget. In actuality, when we love rightly we know that the healthy, loving response to cruelty and abuse is putting ourselves out of harm's way ... Women who would no more tolerate a friendship in which they were emotionally and physically abused stay in romantic relationships where these violations occur regularly. Had they brought to these bonds the same standards they bring to friendship they would not accept victimization. ~ Bell Hooks
Precedence quotes by Bell Hooks
My own task these past twenty years or so of living by words has been to try to find or make a language to describe the subtleties, the incalculables, the pleasures and meanings - impossible to categorize - at the heart of things My friend Chip Ward speaks of "the tyranny of the quantifiable," of the way what can be measured almost always takes precedence over what cannot. ~ Rebecca Solnit
Precedence quotes by Rebecca Solnit
It is not good in itself; it is good only to the extent that it promotes the good of the individuals who are the parts of the collective whole. To give organizations precedence over persons is to subordinate ends to means. ~ Aldous Huxley
Precedence quotes by Aldous Huxley
You can only pretend that you're already dead and thus free yourself up to focus on three things: 1) finding and killing the enemy, 2) communicating the situation and resulting actions to adjacent units and higher headquarters, and 3) triaging and treating your wounded. If you love your men, you naturally think about number three first, but if you do you're wrong. The grim logic of combat dictates that numbers one and two take precedence. ~ Donovan Campbell
Precedence quotes by Donovan Campbell
I don't know about you, but I want God to reveal the second step before I take the first step of faith. But I've discovered that if I don't take the first step, God generally won't reveal the next step...

Most of us will only follow Christ to the point of precedence -- the place where we have been before. But ...

If you want God to do something new, you cannot keep doing what you've always done. You've got to push past the fear of the unknown. You've got to do something different. ~ Mark Batterson
Precedence quotes by Mark Batterson
In other countries, the bureaucracy serves the needs of the people and the state; here, the bureaucracy itself is primary, and it takes precedence over the needs of the people and the state. ~ S.Y. Agnon
Precedence quotes by S.Y. Agnon
Unless I understand the Cross, I cannot understand why my commitment to what is right must be precedence over what I prefer. ~ Ravi Zacharias
Precedence quotes by Ravi Zacharias
The mere leader of fashion has no genuine claim to supremacy; at least, no abiding assurance of it. He has embroidered his title upon his waistcoat, and carries his worth in his watch chain; and, if he is allowed any real precedence for this it is almost a moral swindle,
a way of obtaining goods under false pretences. ~ Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Precedence quotes by Edwin Hubbel Chapin
If we say that the Father is the origin of the Son and greater than the Son, we do not suggest any precedence in time or superiority in nature of the Father over the Son (cf. Jn. 14:28)? or superiority in any other respect save causation. And we mean by this, that the Son is begotten of the Father and not the Father of the Son, and that the Father naturally is the cause of the Son. ~ Pope Clement I
Precedence quotes by Pope Clement I
One aristocratic leader's club was known for, an atmosphere of solemn tranquility, in which reading, dozing, and meditation took precedence over conversation. ~ Barbara W. Tuchman
Precedence quotes by Barbara W. Tuchman
If you always dreamed of writing a novel or a memoir, and you used to love to write, and were pretty good at it, will it break your heart if it turns out you never got around to it? If you wake up one day at eighty, will you feel nonchalant that something always took precedence over a daily commitment to discovering your creative spirit? If not
if this very thought fills you with regret
then what are you waiting for? ~ Anne Lamott
Precedence quotes by Anne Lamott
What real good does an addition to a fortune already sufficient procure? Not any. Could the great man, by having his fortune increased, increase also his appetites, then precedence might be attended with real amusement. ~ Oliver Goldsmith
Precedence quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
You got a problem?" he drawled, obviously expecting me to pee my pants before falling to the ground and groveling like an unworthy subject of the Emperor. And that was all it took. A new, screw-you attitude took precedence, trampling my fear under its boots. A highly dangerous approach, I still found it much easier to bear.
"Well it all goes back to my childhood ... ." I began, ~ Jennifer Rardin
Precedence quotes by Jennifer Rardin
Interfaith dialogue is a must today, and the first step in establishing it is forgetting the past, ignoring polemical arguments, and giving precedence to common points, which far outnumber polemical ones. ~ Fethullah Gulen
Precedence quotes by Fethullah Gulen
The contentment of innumerable people can be destroyed in a generation by the withering touch of our civilisation; the local market is flooded by a production in quantity with which the responsible maker of art cannot complete; the vocational structure of society, with all its guild organisation and standards of workmanship, is undermined; the artist is robbed of his art and forced to find himself a "job"; until finally the ancient society is industrialised and reduced to the level of such societies as ours in which business takes precedence of life. Can one wonder that Western nations are feared and hated by other people, not alone for obvious political or economic reasons, but even more profoundly and instinctively for spiritual reasons? ~ Ananda K. Coomaraswamy
Precedence quotes by Ananda K. Coomaraswamy
In the earl days of their marriage he had discussed with her every aspect of his workday. They'd discussed their hopes and dreams in whispers so as not to awaken the children sleeping in the next room.
Over the years, other obligations had pulled at them, sometimes taking precedence over this quiet pillow talks. Nancy missed them and longed for the days when he had valued her opinion above all others. He still did, she was sure; he just didn't ask for it as frequently as he had before his success was assured. ~ Sandra Brown
Precedence quotes by Sandra Brown
There's a great energy and drive that takes precedence in a lot of rock and pop. It's about making a strong visceral connection. That's something that I think great classical music can have, too. ~ Joshua Roman
Precedence quotes by Joshua Roman
Like most people of my generation, I fell in love with the philosophy of existentialism. ~ Stanley Elkin
Precedence quotes by Stanley Elkin
In each man's heart there lies a hole. A dark abyss of need, the filling of which takes precedence over all else. ~ Kate Morton
Precedence quotes by Kate Morton
When the common good of a society is regarded as something apart from and superior to the individual good of its members, it means that the good of some men takes precedence over the good of others, with those others consigned to the status of sacrificial animals. ~ Ayn Rand
Precedence quotes by Ayn Rand
That's what you're after? Establishing new case
precedence? Never going to happen. Not on this point. You
want to turn Dani. Assuming she's ever Dani again."
"Nobody's turning my fucking honey," Lor muttered
darkly.
"You took the Highlander, as your test case," Barrons
said.
Ryodan said nothing.
"Kas doesn't speak. X is half mad on a good day,
bugfuck crazy on a bad one. You're tired of it. You want your
family back. You want a full house, like the old days. ~ Karen Marie Moning
Precedence quotes by Karen Marie Moning
Voluntary service of others demands the best of which one is capable, and must take precedence over service of self. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Precedence quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
I took one look at the beautiful morning, staggered back into my house and fell into bed. My preferred method of dealing with mornings is to sleep right through them. When you spend your nights killing vampires and evading your mortal enemy, sleep takes precedence over postcard sunrises." -Regan O'Connell, The Music of Chaos ~ P. Kirby
Precedence quotes by P. Kirby
Never let a passion for the perfect take precedence over pragmatism. ~ Walter Isaacson
Precedence quotes by Walter Isaacson
There is nothing in the world more soft and weak than water, and yet for attacking things that are firm and strong there is nothing that can take precedence of it; - for there is nothing (so effectual) for which it can be changed. ~ Lao-Tzu
Precedence quotes by Lao-Tzu
I have my sources." Somehow, saying I'd heard it from my mom sounded less cool. "You've decided, right? I mean, it sounds like a good deal, seeing as she's going to give you fringe benefits ... "
He gave me a level look. "What happens between her and me is none of your business," he replied crisply.
...
Dimitri arched an eyebrow, then jerked his head back where we'd come from. "You hang out in his room a lot?"
Several retorts popped into my head, and then a golden one took precedence. "What happens between him and me is none of your business." I managed a tone very similar to he one he'd used on me when making a similar comment about him and Tasha. ~ Richelle Mead
Precedence quotes by Richelle Mead
What is urgent will always take precedence over what is important. ~ Edward De Bono
Precedence quotes by Edward De Bono
For my part, I think we need more emotion, not less. But I think, too, that we need to educate people in how to feel. Emotionalism is not the same as emotion. We cannot cut out emotion - in the economy of the human body, it is the limbic, not the neural, highway that takes precedence. We are not robots ... but we act as though all our problems would be solved if only we had no emotions to cloud our judgement. ~ Jeanette Winterson
Precedence quotes by Jeanette Winterson
We've lost touch and allowed technology to take precedence over organic nature. But let's not forget that those microchips in our computers came from elements of the earth. ~ Emilio Estevez
Precedence quotes by Emilio Estevez
He generally spoke with much animation and energy, and with considerable gesture. His mind was filled with all the learning and precedence required for the occasion, enabling him to make numerous extemporaneous speeches. He seduced the listeners with hope and provoked them with fear, leading one spectator to comment that "Hamilton's harangues combine the poignancy of vinegar with the smoothness of oil. ~ Ron Chernow
Precedence quotes by Ron Chernow
The first distinction among men, and the first consideration that gave one precedence over another, was doubtless the advantage of beauty. ~ Michel De Montaigne
Precedence quotes by Michel De Montaigne
My friend Chip Ward speaks of "the tyranny of the quantifiable," of the way what can be measured almost always takes precedence over what cannot: private profit over public good; speed and efficiency over enjoyment and quality; the utilitarian over the mysteries and meanings that are of greater use to our survival and to more than our survival, to lives that have some purpose and value that survive beyond us to make a civilization worth having. ~ Rebecca Solnit
Precedence quotes by Rebecca Solnit
Love enters the heart unawares: takes precedence of all the emotions
or, at least, will be second to none
and even reflection becomes its accomplice. While it lives, it renders blind; and when it has struck its roots deep only itself can shake them. It reminds one of hospitality as practiced among the ancients. The stranger was received upon the threshold of the half-open door, and introduced into the sanctuary reserved for the Penates. Not until every attention had been lavished upon him did the host ask his name; and the question was sometimes deferred till the very moment of departure. ~ Sophie Swetchine
Precedence quotes by Sophie Swetchine
At the start of each year I sit down and look at both calendars and plan it that way. Obviously sometimes there are some overlaps but I have to be organised. At the moment motor racing is taking precedence and I have been quite lucky this year in picking and choosing. ~ Liz Halliday
Precedence quotes by Liz Halliday
The desire for truth must take precedence over all other desires. ~ Albert Einstein
Precedence quotes by Albert Einstein
Should a conflict arise between the witness of the Holy Spirit to the fundamental truth of the Christian faith and beliefs based on argument and evidence then it is the former which must take precedence over the latter. ~ William Lane Craig
Precedence quotes by William Lane Craig
The main reason for insisting on the universal Flood as a fact of history and as the primary vehicle for geological interpretation is that God's Word plainly teaches it! No geologic difficulties, real or imagined, can be allowed to take precedence over the clear statements and necessary inferences of Scripture. ~ Henry M. Morris
Precedence quotes by Henry M. Morris
While looking one's best was important to my mother, looking natural took precedence. ~ Betty Jamie Chung
Precedence quotes by Betty Jamie Chung
Of all "rights" which command attention at the present time among us, woman's rights seem to take precedence. ~ Horace Mann
Precedence quotes by Horace Mann
