For a thorough understanding of rowing, for the what, the how and the why, the books making up Peter Mallory's The Sport of Rowing certainly do it all. ~ Anita DeFrantz
Thorough Understanding quotes by Anita DeFrantz
The highest kind of writing - which must not be confused with
the most ambitious kind ... belongs to the realm of grace. Talent is
part of it, certainly; a thorough understanding of the secret laws,
absolutely. But finding the subject and theme which is in perfect
harmony with your deepest nature, your forgotten selves, your hidden
dreams, and the full unresonated essence of your life - now that
cannot be reached through searching, nor can it be stumbled upon
through ambition. That sort of serendipity comes upon you on a
lucky day. It may emerge even out of misfortune or defeat. You may
happen upon it without realising that this is the work through
which your whole life will sing. We should always be ready. We
should always be humble. Creativity should always be a form of
prayer. ~ Ben Okri
Thorough Understanding quotes by Ben Okri
A good stack of examples, as large as possible, is indispensable for a thorough understanding of any concept,and when I want to learn something new, I make it my first job to build one. ~ Paul Halmos
Thorough Understanding quotes by Paul Halmos
To go anywhere in philosophy, other than back and forth, round and round, one must have a keen sense of correlative vision. This is a technical term for a thorough understanding of the Game of Black-and-White, whereby one sees that all explicit opposites are implicit allies - correlative in the sense that they "gowith" each other and cannot exist apart. This, rather than any miasmic absorption of differences into a continuum of ultimate goo, is the metaphysical unity underlying the world. ~ Alan W. Watts
Thorough Understanding quotes by Alan W. Watts
Psychologically, the teaching of abstractions first is wrong. Indeed, a thorough understanding of the concrete must precede the abstract. ~ Morris Kline
Thorough Understanding quotes by Morris Kline
If design is a problem-solving discipline, then great design must start with a thorough understanding of the problem to be solved - which is best found in a great design brief. ~ Peter L. Phillips
Thorough Understanding quotes by Peter L. Phillips
The dominance panacea is so out of proportion that entire schools of training are based on the premise that if you can just exert adequate dominance over the dog, everything else will fall into place. Not only does it mean that incredible amounts of abuse are going to be perpetrated against any given dog, probably exacerbating problems like unreliable recalls and biting, but the real issues, like well-executed conditioning and the provision of an adequate environment, are going to go unaddressed, resulting in a still-untrained dog, perpetuating the pointless dominance program. None of this is to say that dogs aren't one of those species whose social life appears to lend itself to beloved hierarchy constructs. But, they also see well at night, and no one is proposing retinal surgery to address their non-compliance or biting behavior. Pack theory is simply not the most elegant model for explaining or, especially, for treating problems like disobedience, misbehavior or aggression. People who use aversives to train with a dominance model in mind would get a better result with less wear and tear on the dog by using aversives with a more thorough understanding of learning theory, or, better yet, forgoing aversives altogether and going with the other tools in the learning theory tool box. The dominance concept is simply unnecessary. ~ Jean Donaldson
Thorough Understanding quotes by Jean Donaldson
A thorough understanding of the typical mating continuations makes the most complicated sacrificial combinations leading up to them not only not difficult, but almost a matter of course ~ Siegbert Tarrasch
Thorough Understanding quotes by Siegbert Tarrasch
The only defense against the world is a thorough knowledge of it. ~ John Locke
Thorough Understanding quotes by John Locke
I beg of you always to dwell upon the necessity of a thorough understanding of principles, in order to stop the vivacity of his mind, and please do not forget to meditate upon the subject of our discussion. ~ Nicolas Malebranche
Thorough Understanding quotes by Nicolas Malebranche
Ye are most strong, ye Sons of the icy North, of the far East, far marching from your rugged Eastern Wildernesses, hither-ward from the gray Dawn of Time! Ye are Sons of the Jotun-land; the land of Difficulties Conquered. Difficult? You
must try this thing. Once try it with the understanding that it will and shall have to be done. Try it as ye try the paltrier thing, making of money! I will bet on you once more, against all Jo'tuns, Tailor-gods, Double-barrelled Law-wards, and Denizens of Chaos whatsoever! ~ Thomas Carlyle
Thorough Understanding quotes by Thomas Carlyle
You don't need to wait for someone else to notice your talents before nourishing them. You don't need others to accept you to feel accepted. You don't need to wait. You can begin, at any moment, to work on noticing, nourishing, and accepting yourself. You can work on being a better friend to your reflection. You can start listening to yourself like you wish other people would. You can become curious about who you are. You can begin to learn the language of your mind and body so that you can decode it, understand it, speak it. You can work on understanding yourself instead of always trying to make yourself into someone else. ~ Vironika Tugaleva
Thorough Understanding quotes by Vironika Tugaleva
Our understanding of life has only been enriched by the discovery that living flesh is composed of molecular clockwork rather than quivering protoplasm, or that birds soar by exploiting the laws of physics rather than defying them. In the same way, our understanding of ourselves and our cultures can only be enriched by the discovery that our minds are composed of intricate neural circuits for thinking, feeling, and learning rather than blank slates, amorphous blobs, or inscrutable ghosts. ~ Steven Pinker
Thorough Understanding quotes by Steven Pinker
You are a thinker. I am a thinker. We think that all human beings are thinkers. The amazing fact is that we tend to think against artificial intelligence - that various kind of computers or artificial robots can think, but most of us never cast any doubt on human thinking potential in general. If during natural conservation with human any computer or artificial robot could generate human-like responses by using its own 'brain' but not ready-form programming language which is antecedently written and included in the brain design and which consequently determine its function and response, then that computer or artificial robot would unquestionably be acknowledged as a thinker as we are. But is it absolutely true that all humans are capable of using their own brain while interpreting various signals and responding them? Indeed, religion or any other ideology is some kind of such program which is written by others and which determines our vision, mind and behavior models, depriving us of a clear and logical thinking. It forces us to see the world with its eyes, to construct our mind as it says and control our behavior as it wants. There can be no freedom, no alternative possibilities. You don't need to understand its claims, you need only believe them. Whatever is unthinkable and unimaginable for you, is said higher for your understanding, you cannot even criticise what seems to be illogical and absurd for you. The unwritten golden rule of religion and its Holy Scripture is tha ~ Elmar Hussein
Thorough Understanding quotes by Elmar Hussein
Beautiful moments in life need no words for description. Living those moments and feeling the beauty suffices. ~ Mamur Mustapha
Thorough Understanding quotes by Mamur Mustapha
I don't doubt that you think you love me; what I doubt is your understanding of love. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Thorough Understanding quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
First, there was Confucius. Then, the sayings of Chairman Mao. And now the pithy, ironic, and humorous insights of Ai Weiwei. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this collection, which reflects a well-developed philosophy as well as a keen understanding of the Chinese Communist system. This is China made easy and interesting. ~ Jerome A. Cohen
Thorough Understanding quotes by Jerome A. Cohen
Pop was her ideal of how a man should be, brave, gentle, comic, never losing his temper, never bragging, never complaining except in a joke, tolerant, understanding, intelligent, drinking a little too much as a good man should, and, to her eyes, very handsome. ~ Ernest Hemingway,
Thorough Understanding quotes by Ernest Hemingway,
The empathic understanding of the experience of other human beings is as basic an endowment of man as his vision, hearing, touch, taste and smell ~ Heinz Kohut
Thorough Understanding quotes by Heinz Kohut
In English we blame others for not understanding us when really it's our fault for not saying what we wanted to say. ~ Rory Dunlop
Thorough Understanding quotes by Rory Dunlop
The most important acts of a civilization, be they atrocities against life or acts of compassion beyond understanding, are always done in the name of the greater good. And no one who acts in the name of the greater good believes they are wrong. That is why right and wrong are so often indistinguishable. ~ Steve Karmazenuk
Thorough Understanding quotes by Steve Karmazenuk
There are endless ways to amuse oneself and be idle, and most of them lie outside the woods. I assume that when a man goes to the woods he goes because he needs to. I think he is drawn to the wilderness much as he is drawn to a woman: it is, in its way, his opposite. It is as far as possible unlike his home or his work or anything he will ever manufacture. For that reason he can take from it a solace-an understanding of himself, of what he needs and what he can do without-such as he can find nowhere else. ~ Wendell Berry
Thorough Understanding quotes by Wendell Berry
What is necessary, he explains, is an understanding that the youth are not the Other. It is being able to see your humanity reflected in them. ~ John Hubner
Thorough Understanding quotes by John Hubner
My understanding is that Exxon, in particular, did fund a variety of small think tanks to generate what amounts to propaganda against understanding of what climate change was doing, the human role in causing it. ~ John Holdren
Thorough Understanding quotes by John Holdren
Reading is the subtle and thorough sharing of the ideas and feelings by underhanded means. It is a gross invasion of Privacy and a direct violation of the Constitutions of the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Age. The Teaching of Reading is equally a crime against Privacy and Personhood. One to five years on each count. ~ Walter Tevis
Thorough Understanding quotes by Walter Tevis
Without understanding, your love is not true love. You must look deeply in order to see and understand the needs, aspirations, and suffering of the one you love. ~ Nhat Hanh
Thorough Understanding quotes by Nhat Hanh
Our philosophy precedes from the belief that sport is an inalienable part of the educational process and a factor for promoting peace, friendship, cooperation and understanding among peoples. ~ Juan Antonio Samaranch
Thorough Understanding quotes by Juan Antonio Samaranch
So she laughed instead, squeezing him in her arms and wondering how she'd ever written romance novels without really understanding what love was. ~ Claire Kent
Thorough Understanding quotes by Claire Kent
The idea of feeling old is much more the worry of a slightly younger person. When you are getting old, that becomes - psssh - completely secondary to the absolute understanding of how short your life is. ~ Moby
Thorough Understanding quotes by Moby
Because the people and countries who are wealthy enough to pay for things like really small classes have a hard time understanding that the things their wealth can buy might not always make them better off. ~ Malcolm Gladwell
Thorough Understanding quotes by Malcolm Gladwell
Our late Leader, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, with his universal sympathy for all oppressed and his profound understanding of Jesus' revolutionary spirit of love and sacrifice, carried on his revolutionary work for forty years and brought about at last the liberation of the Chinese people. ~ Chiang Kai-shek
Thorough Understanding quotes by Chiang Kai-shek
When you make a commitment to yourself, do so with the clear understanding that you're pledging your integrity. ~ Stephen Covey
Thorough Understanding quotes by Stephen Covey
Though life has to be lived forward, it can only be understood backwards ~ Adeline Yen Mah
Thorough Understanding quotes by Adeline Yen Mah
The world is ruled by such dreams, dreams of impassioned hearts, and improvisations of warm lips, not by cold words linked in chains of iron sequence,
not by logic. The heart with its passions, not the understanding with its reasoning, sways, in the long run, the actions of mankind. ~ William Kirby
Thorough Understanding quotes by William Kirby
Repentance means to have a hearty, thorough, change of mind and it includes the idea of rejecting and renouncing the sinful, filthy lifestyle you've been living. And for the most part, fags cannot repent because they're proud of their sin. ~ Fred Phelps
Thorough Understanding quotes by Fred Phelps
I suppose I should wish you success, but that is too easy. I would like to wish you something that is harder to come by. So I am going to wish you meaning in life. And meaning is not something you stumble across like the answer to a riddle or prize in a treasure hunt.

Meaning is something you build into your life. You build it out of your own past, out of your affections and loyalties, out of the experience of humankind as it is passed on to you; out of your own talent and understanding, out of things and people you love, out of the values for which you are willing to sacrifice something, the ingredients are there.

You are the only one who can put them together into that unique pattern that will be your life. Let it be a life that has dignity and meaning for you. If it does, then the particular balance of success or failure is of less account. ~ Robert Gardner
Thorough Understanding quotes by Robert Gardner
This will wreck you! Today, treat everyone you meet as if they're going to be dead by midnight. extend all the kindness and understanding you can, and do it with no thought of any reward. ~ Ted Dekker
Thorough Understanding quotes by Ted Dekker
M. Danglars, who had listened to all this preamble with imperturbable coolness, but without understanding a word, engaged as he was, like every man burdened with thoughts of the past, in seeking the thread of his own ideas in those of the speaker. ~ Alexandre Dumas
Thorough Understanding quotes by Alexandre Dumas
We need a much better understanding of the climate before making policy choices that would impose substantial economic costs on our Nation. ~ Ted Cruz
Thorough Understanding quotes by Ted Cruz
A thorough investigation would prove that nine crimes out of ten could be traced, directly or indirectly, to our economic and social iniquities, to our system of remorseless exploitation and robbery. ~ Emma Goldman
Thorough Understanding quotes by Emma Goldman
It was as though the plants wanted me to write a different kind of book and sent gentle roots deep into my brain. They wanted me to fully acknowledge their importance in human history, their amazing powers of healing, the nourishment they provide, their ability to harm if we misused them, and, ultimately, our dependence on the plant kingdom. The plants seemed to want me to share with the world my own understanding of their beingness, so that people might better honor them as important partners in so many of our endeavors. ~ Jane Goodall
Thorough Understanding quotes by Jane Goodall
A religion made up solely of heightened religious experiences would not be a religion at all ... The major religious traditions address the mysteries (with or without entheogens), but they have other business to do: widen understanding, give meaning, provide solace, promote loving-kindness, and connect human being to human being. ~ Huston Smith
Thorough Understanding quotes by Huston Smith
Literature destabilizes thought by breaking open language and smuggling in sound, rhythm, and image--an invasion of aesthetics. More easily than analytic writing, poetry can emancipate itself from the standard definitions of words, enabling a breakthrough to new (and perhaps wayward or even nonsensical) meaning, which can then develop after the fact--different at each new reading. Literary language is presumptuous. It dips into the unknown in order to get nearer to a truth different from that of the superficially visible. As the poet Franz Josef Czernin described it, it is as though one step after another into emptiness could become a ladder. Literary writing can take the writers themselves by surprise; it can disturb and disappoint them--for stirring up turmoil is inherent in metaphor. Thus with every flash of understanding that comes from hearing or reading a poem, the fundamental work of thinking is taken up anew. ~ Marie Luise Knott
Thorough Understanding quotes by Marie Luise Knott
What we now want is closer contact and better understanding between individuals and communities all over the earth, and the elimination of egoism and pride which is always prone to plunge the world into primeval barbarism and strife ... Peace can only come as a natural consequence of universal enlightenment ... ~ Nikola Tesla
Thorough Understanding quotes by Nikola Tesla
The warm water makes me feel weightless. It carries my burdens for me, understanding that I need a moment to relieve my shoulders of this weight. To close my eyes and relax. ~ Tahereh Mafi
Thorough Understanding quotes by Tahereh Mafi
There are two life-forces in the world I know: Jewish and gentile, ours and yours ... I do not believe that this primal difference between gentile and Jew is reconcilable. You and we may come to an understanding, never to a reconciliation. There will be irritation between us as long as we are in intimate contact. For nature and constitution and vision divide us from all of you forever. ~ Maurice Samuel
Thorough Understanding quotes by Maurice Samuel
If one just intellectually understands the view it will not help! One must actually experience it! There are many people who understand the view but don't experience it. If the view were experienced, they wouldn't act the way they do! ~ Padampa Sangye
Thorough Understanding quotes by Padampa Sangye
You can clear out whatever obstacles are preventing you from living your most creative life, with the simple understanding that whatever is bad for you is probably also bad for your work. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Thorough Understanding quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
Really, it's not people who don't understand us who drive us nuts - it's when those who shouldn't, do. ~ Pauline Kael
Thorough Understanding quotes by Pauline Kael
Copiousness of words, however ranged, is always false eloquence, though it will ever impose on some sort of understandings. ~ Mary Wortley Montagu
Thorough Understanding quotes by Mary Wortley Montagu
Myth expresses in terms of the world - that is, of the other world or the second world - the understanding that man has of himself in relation to the foundation and the limit of his existence. ~ Paul Ricoeur
Thorough Understanding quotes by Paul Ricoeur
fool does not delight in understanding, but only wants to show off his opinions. ~ Anonymous
