Never tell a man what his interests are. Be straight and open with him about your own interests. And try to put yourself in his shoes. Try to understand his hopes and his limitations, and never insist that he do something you know he cannot. ~ Joe Biden
Try To Understand quotes by Joe Biden
As a friend, you first give your understanding, then you try to understand. ~ Robert Breault
Try To Understand quotes by Robert Breault
When there is great pain, there are only three rules: not to push the pain away, not to try to understand it, and not to indulge in it...Make yourself as open as a young tree caught in a storm. Let the storm bend you at its will, do not resist it, do not argue with it either- how could one argue with the wind and the rain?- and never ever feel sorry for yourself. ~ Muriel Maufroy
Try To Understand quotes by Muriel Maufroy
It is so much easier to be nice, to be respectful, to put yourself in your customers' shoes and try to understand how you might help them before they ask for help, than it is to try to mend a broken customer relationship. ~ Mark Cuban
Try To Understand quotes by Mark Cuban
I think as feminists we have a way of looking at problems that other people appear not to understand. To name names, the right and the
left appear not to understand what it is that feminists are trying to do. Feminists are trying to destroy a sex hierarchy, a race hierarchy, an
economic hierarchy, in which women are hurt, are disempowered, and in which society celebrates cruelty over us and refuses us the integrity of our own bodies and the dignity of our own lives.

... So feminists look at the society we live in and try to understand how we are going to fight male power. And in order to try to figure out
how we're going to fight it, we have to figure out how it's organized, how it works. How does it survive? How does it work itself out? How
does it maintain itself as a system of power?

... So feminists come along, and we say: Well, we are going to understand how it is that these people do what they do. We are going to
approach the problem politically. That means that we are going to try to isolate and describe systems of exploitation as they work on us, from our point of view as the people who are being hurt by them. It means that even though we're on the bottom and they're on the top, we are examining them for points of vulnerability. And as we find those points of vulnerability - and you might locate them anatomically, as well as any other way - we are going to move whatever muscles we have, from whatever positions we are in, ~ Andrea Dworkin
Try To Understand quotes by Andrea Dworkin
I was struck by - Einstein's a fascinating figure who didn't have any instruments that he used, he didn't use telescopes, he used his mind to try to understand the universe. ~ Jonathan Nolan
Try To Understand quotes by Jonathan Nolan
Try to understand the ego. Analyze it, dissect it, watch it, observe it, from as many angles as possible. And don't be in a hurry to sacrifice it, otherwise the greatest egoist is born: the person who thinks he is humble, the person who thinks that he has no ego. ~ Rajneesh
Try To Understand quotes by Rajneesh
If you want to have peace of soul, learn to forgive. Jesus' secret was His ability to see into people's hearts. Seeing their anguish and pain helped Him to understand their nastiness. So He could pity them rather than become angry with them. That is what we have to do: try to understand the pain in people's lives ... and not take personally what they do to us. ~ Joseph F. Girzone
Try To Understand quotes by Joseph F. Girzone
I am not the best :( but try to understand, this world is samll to swallow my thoughts :') , you let me free and find my world
:'D ~ Pratyush Singh
Try To Understand quotes by Pratyush Singh
Humans do not engage in activities that are meaningless. If you think you see people doing things you find meaningless, look again and try to understand what the activities mean for them. ~ Henry Jenkins
Try To Understand quotes by Henry Jenkins
A man who is truthful and does not mean ill even to his adversary will be slow to believe charges even against his foes. He will, however, try to understand the viewpoints of his opponents and will always keep an open mind and seek every opportunity of serving his opponents. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Try To Understand quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
...Okay... probably now you have read all my books up to now..., you have check out everything what I have and you are asking what more???
Check out horror and try to understand it! ~ Deyth Banger
Try To Understand quotes by Deyth Banger
It is the ultimate opportunity of a lifetime to try to understand the dreams and desires of a blooming flower. ~ Debasish Mridha
Try To Understand quotes by Debasish Mridha
The LORD directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way? PROVERBS 20:24 NLT ~ Joel Osteen
Try To Understand quotes by Joel Osteen
The meaning of a work is not what the author had in mind at some point, nor is it simply a property of the text or the experience of a reader. Meaning is an inescapable notion because it is not something simple or simply determined. It is simultaneously an experience of a subject and a property of a text. It is both what we understand and what in the text we try to understand. ~ Jonathan Culler
Try To Understand quotes by Jonathan Culler
First you try to find a reason, try to understand what you've done so wrong so you can be sure not to do it anymore. After that you look for signs of a Jekyll and Hyde situation, the good and the bad in a person sifted into separate compartments by some weird accident. Then, gradually, you realize that there isn't a reason, and it isn't two people you're dealing with, just one. The same one every time. ~ Helen Oyeyemi
Try To Understand quotes by Helen Oyeyemi
Dear doctor, you must not only let the patient tells his story, but you should also try to understand it. ~ William C. Brown
Try To Understand quotes by William C. Brown
Try to understand what I am saying: everything is dependent on everything else, everything is connected, nothing is separate. Therefore everything is going in the only way it can go. If people were different everything would be different. They are what they are, so everything is as it is. ~ G.I. Gurdjieff
Try To Understand quotes by G.I. Gurdjieff
The true mark of maturity is when somebody hurts you and you try to understand their situation instead of trying to hurt them back. ~ Anonymous
Try To Understand quotes by Anonymous
Life is a helluva journey. You face situations. You meet people. You try to understand situations. You try to understand people.
But you will never ever be able to understand people. You will never ever be able to understand why some things happen.

You feel you desperately need someone to support. But you won't find any support. You feel you need an anchor amidst the unpredictably nature of life. But there won't be an anchor. And you will feel your feet are losing their balance. You will feel you are falling down. You will feel the weight of life pulling you down. And you are drowning in the ocean. And you are shouting for help. But nobody can hear you because everybody is busy living their life to listen to you.

You thus you give up on people. You lose faith in people. You lose faith on life.

You just go on living life without feeling anything. You live life in a state of numbness and indifference.

And then one day you look at yourself in the mirror, and you have become a stranger to yourself! ~ Avijeet Das
Try To Understand quotes by Avijeet Das
Deepest place in my mind is my thinking and thoughts....Do not try to understand me...
Otherwise you will drown in me. ~ Maryum Ahsam
Try To Understand quotes by Maryum Ahsam
Dreams is full of mystery and magic ... Do not try to understand them. ~ Roald Dahl
Try To Understand quotes by Roald Dahl
Before you assume...read all the facts. Before you judge...try to understand why and most important
before you speak...always think. ~ Timothy Pina
Try To Understand quotes by Timothy Pina
For a songwriter, you don't really go to songwriting school; you learn by listening to tunes. And you try to understand them and take them apart and see what they're made of, and wonder if you can make one, too. ~ Tom Waits
Try To Understand quotes by Tom Waits
We often try to understand the world without understanding ourselves. ~ Debasish Mridha
Try To Understand quotes by Debasish Mridha
Beauty is undefinable in language. It's something that you see when you see it, or you feel when you feel it, or you hear when you hear it. It usually encompasses all five of the senses. It can't exist without it being a somehow sensorial experience. But, I don't think it's quantifiable. Nothing is really quantifiable. Nothing is certain in love and friendship. We all try to understand these things. ~ Colin Farrell
Try To Understand quotes by Colin Farrell
I just try to understand that tomorrow is another day. ~ Bob Dylan
Try To Understand quotes by Bob Dylan
When we try to understand something, more often than not, we kill it, and now I can feel the dangers of this encroaching on me: cynicism, bitterness, and infinite sadness...It's impossible to live if you're too aware, too thoughtful. Take nature for example: everything that lives happily and too a ripe old age is not very intelligent. Tortoises live for centuries, water's immortal, and Milton Friedman's still alive. ~ Martin Page
Try To Understand quotes by Martin Page
The more greedily you try to understand people, the less you understand them. ~ Takahashi Takako
Try To Understand quotes by Takahashi Takako
The phantasmagoria, the actual experience that we try to understand and organize through narrative, varies from place to place. No single narrative serves the needs of everyone everywhere. ~ Sheena Iyengar
Try To Understand quotes by Sheena Iyengar
When philosophers try to understand consciousness, much of what they claim is not conceptual analysis at all, though it may be shopped under that description. ~ Patricia Churchland
Try To Understand quotes by Patricia Churchland
Don't try to understand me, just be grateful that you felt the warmth of Zaphod Beeblebrox's aura on your wonderstruck face. ~ Eoin Colfer
Try To Understand quotes by Eoin Colfer
The important thing for me is that I try to understand the culture. Everything I thought I knew about the country was either through TV, music, movies or hopping in and out when I did shows. You can't just get the US through being in Miami, LA and New York. Middle America is the place to understand real America. ~ Dizzee Rascal
Try To Understand quotes by Dizzee Rascal
Everyone wants to understand art. Why not try to understand the song of a bird? Why does one love the night, flowers, everything around one, without trying to understand them? But in the case of a painting people have to understand. If only they would realize above all that an artist works of necessity, that he himself is only a trifling bit of the world, and that no more importance should be attached to him than to plenty of other things which please us in the world, though we can't explain them. People who try to explain pictures are usually barking up the wrong tree. ~ Pablo Picasso
Try To Understand quotes by Pablo Picasso
I don't want to understand anything now. I want to stick to the fact. I made up my mind long time ago. If I try to understand anything, I shall be false to the fact, and I have determined to stick to the fact. ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Try To Understand quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Learn to understand others. Most people do not want to understand others, instead wanting others to understand them. This is egotism. We should try to think less of ourselves and more of others. Try to understand others better. ~ Master Jun Hong Lu
Try To Understand quotes by Master Jun Hong Lu
In this life we meet difficult people. We must take the time to listen and try to understand them. ~ Annie Proulx
Try To Understand quotes by Annie Proulx
The path that leads through Latin and alebra is not the path to material success. But it may suggest much more: that understanding things is a waste of time; that if you want to succeed in the world and have a happy family and a nice home and a BMW you should not try to understand things but just add up the numbers or press the buttons or do whatever else it is that marketers are so richly rewarded for doing ~ J.M. Coetzee
Try To Understand quotes by J.M. Coetzee
Do not try to understand. What I feel for you cannot be limited to words. I know that you have moved on with your life, yet I stand here, frozen in the midst of your spirit. ~ Leigh Hershkovich
Try To Understand quotes by Leigh Hershkovich
Do not try to understand love, rather, stand in love and observe what happens around you. ~ Nityananda Das
Try To Understand quotes by Nityananda Das
I spent a good deal of time going back over my childhood, my midlife, to try to understand who I was. We're supposed to be complete and whole, and you can't be whole if you're trying to be perfect. Doing a life review helped me get over the disease to please. ~ Jane Fonda
Try To Understand quotes by Jane Fonda
You should try to understand what they want out of life, and respect that, rather than projecting onto them what you think they should want out of life. ~ Brandon Sanderson
Try To Understand quotes by Brandon Sanderson
Faced with a new mutation in an organism, or a fundamental change in its living conditions, the biologist is frequently in no position whatever to predict its future prospects. He has to wait and see. For instance, the hairy mammoth seems to have been an admirable animal, intelligent and well-accoutered. Now that it is extinct, we try to understand why it failed. I doubt that any biologist thinks he could have predicted that failure. Fitness and survival are by nature estimates of past performance. ~ George Wald
Try To Understand quotes by George Wald
I would then say that there are two kinds of feeling. The first is to feel in the sense of concentrating your emotions on something immediately available for your understanding: you make your understanding out of the emotions you have about it. The second is to feel in the sense of being affected without trying to understand: something is felt, you do not know what, and it is more important to feel it than to try to understand it, since once you try to understand it you no longer feel it. ~ Laura Riding
Try To Understand quotes by Laura Riding
To understand yourself, try to understand a flower and then emulate it. ~ Debasish Mridha
Try To Understand quotes by Debasish Mridha
It's a good idea to pay attention to the world and try to understand how it works rather than how you would like it to work. ~ Matthew Crawford
Try To Understand quotes by Matthew Crawford
I have in lectures often described this interesting situation by saying: we never know what we are talking about. For when we propose a theory, or try to understand a theory, we also propose, or try to understand, its logical implications; that is, all those statements which follow from it. But this, as we have just seen, is a hopeless task : there is an infinity of unforeseeable nontrivial statements belonging to the informative content of any theory, and an exactly corresponding infinity of statements belonging to its logical content. We can therefore never know or understand all the implications of any theory, or its full significance
Chapter 7 ~ Karl R. Popper
Try To Understand quotes by Karl R. Popper
I think it's the same to be an actress anywhere because the profession is about attitudes towards events - it is a process to try to understand life. I think this is the case for actors across the world. ~ Zhou Xun
Try To Understand quotes by Zhou Xun
The most reliable way to forecast the future is to try to understand the present. ~ John Naisbitt
Try To Understand quotes by John Naisbitt
Life itself is a strange mixture. We have to take it as it is, try to understand it, and then to better it. ~ Rabindranath Tagore
Try To Understand quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
Find beauty, try to understand, survive. ~ James Sallis
Try To Understand quotes by James Sallis
I'm a mammal at the end. I breathe out and breathe in and eat. At the end, when we go to sleep, nobody lives this political definition. It's something we connect by and we try to understand each other by, but at the end, we know that this is not who we are. ~ Ashraf Barhom
Try To Understand quotes by Ashraf Barhom
Beauty is as beauty is. It is no more complicated than that. The moment you try to understand some things is the moment you break the spell. ~ Stuart Ayris
Try To Understand quotes by Stuart Ayris
Galvanized people can do careless things. It is in the extreme and emotion-laden moments that distance and coolness are most required. I am tempted to howl in rage. It is not my place to do so. My job is to try to dissect the event, place it in context and try to understand what has happened and why. From that, after the rage cools, plans for action can be made. Rage has its place, but actions must be taken with discipline and thought. ~ George Friedman
Try To Understand quotes by George Friedman
I want to be with someone who understand me, who at least cares enough about me to try to understand. ~ Rachel K. Burke
Try To Understand quotes by Rachel K. Burke
I try to understand people who aren't as smart as me and not be hateful. ~ Gary Coleman
Try To Understand quotes by Gary Coleman
We live in a highly polarized society. We need to try to understand each other in respectful ways. To that end, I believe that we should make room for both spiritual atheists and thinking believers. ~ Alan Lightman
Try To Understand quotes by Alan Lightman
Dead men by mass production––in one country after another––month after month and year after year. Dead men in winter and dead men in summer. Dead men in such familiar promiscuity that they become monotonous. Dead men in such monstrous infinity that you come almost to hate them. These are the things that you at home need not even try to understand. ~ Ernie Pyle
Try To Understand quotes by Ernie Pyle
Tao is so important because it is connected to all the life forms - it's related to the whole universe. Nobody can say, "Tao has nothing to do with me. Why should I try to understand it?" because actually, Tao has everything to do with us. ~ Henry Chang
Try To Understand quotes by Henry Chang
We can at least try to understand our own motives, passions, and prejudices, so as to be conscious of what we are doing when we apeal to those of others. This is very difficult, because our own prejudice and emotional bias always seems to us so rational. ~ T. S. Eliot
Try To Understand quotes by T. S. Eliot
Being a musician makes you very - musicians in general tend to be quite sensitive, I think, to the environment around them, which helps when you are trying to interact with others on screen, to be aware, to be sensitive, and to try to understand what's going on in the scene. ~ Shirley Manson
Try To Understand quotes by Shirley Manson
It makes us feel and see things in ways that normal people don't. You don't question it or try to understand it. You just accept it for the gift it is. So if she believes he's still alive, give her the benefit of the doubt. ~ Ednah Walters
Try To Understand quotes by Ednah Walters
If you are uninterested in what I say, there's an end to it. If you like what I say, please try to understand which previous influences have made you like it. If you like some of the things I say, and dislike others, you could try to understand why. If you dislike all I say, why not try to find out what formed your attitude? ~ Idries Shah
Try To Understand quotes by Idries Shah
Dear lady, ... dear gentleman, reader, [it's] not right ... to put down this writer on his writing ... And I'll tell you why, too: it hurts, that's why.... People try to understand why writers commit suicide by jumping off boats or by alcoholism or by being heroic continuously or by rope or gun or drug or knife or water, and ... I can tell you straight out, ... it is reading slurring remarks about their writing that drives writers to the grave. Dirty remarks passed by ... dirty but damned nicely educated and very highly-paid ladies and gentlemen have the effect of killing writers. Yes, that's right. Dirty words ... in slick paper magazines read by smart people do assassinate writers. ... And boy let me tell you I am all for it, even when by some ... misunderstanding the dirty words are directed to me rather than to the party really deserving them. Accidents happen, dear clever reviewer or critic, and let it not be said that William Saroyan is one not to see a situation from the point of view of the other party, ... and I shall be the first to defend your right to be critical and even sarcastic, knowing full well that it is not about me and my writing, although my name is by mistake taken in vain by you. ... But go on, go on, do your good clever writing, every one of you, I am home, your are home, and we are each of us not yet on Variety's Necrology list, so if we can't take it, who can? ~ William Saroyan
Try To Understand quotes by William Saroyan
One of the great divides, I think, between people who date a lot and people who date never is that people who date never don't understand putting up with "fine." I can't begin to conceive of why anybody would voluntarily spend great chunks of her free time dedicated to someone she doesn't adore, because I never do that. My dater friends, on the other hand, do this all the time. I know this because I'm the one they meet up with after, and I'm the one who has to try to understand why my otherwise brilliant friends keep hanging out with people about whom they only have bad (or very, very mediocre) things to say. A person who has spent her life planning her free time based only on herself, and the friends she knows she loves, can't understand this. Why would I want to go out to dinner and a movie with someone I'm not completely crazy about when I already know how much I like eating dinner and watching a movie by myself, or with Rylee? Getting someone else involved means I have to put on a nicer outfit and stress out about the way I look chewing my food. If I'm going to have to consider my chewing face, I only want to do it for someone I think I might be able to really like. I know that might make it harder for me. I know there is a possibility - a very little one, though, that I have a hard time really believing in - that chemistry can grow where there wasn't any to begin with. I know that if I don't put myself out there, I won't just answer my door someday to find my perfect spo ~ Katie Heaney
Try To Understand quotes by Katie Heaney
Being is accessible to you now as your own deepest self, your true nature. But don't seek to grasp it with your mind. Don't try to understand it. You can know it only when the mind is still. When you are present, when your attention is fully and intensely in the Now, Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally. ~ Eckhart Tolle
Try To Understand quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Don't try to understand other people's marriages, darling, even your parents'. You'll be lucky if you understand your own. ~ Laura Buzo
Try To Understand quotes by Laura Buzo
As free human beings we can use our unique intelligence to try to understand ourselves and our world. But if we are prevented from using our creative potential, we are deprived of one of the basic characteristics of a human being. ~ Dalai Lama XIV
Try To Understand quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
Unfair discrimination exists whether we like it or not; I wouldn't have married a gum-chewing vegetarian. Ultimately, we'll help the people we discriminate against if we try to understand more about them; genetics will lead to a world where there is a sympathy for the underdog. ~ John Kendrew
Try To Understand quotes by John Kendrew
I think the years I have spent in prison have been the most formative and important in my life because of the discipline, the sensations, but chiefly the opportunity to think clearly, to try to understand things. ~ Jawaharlal Nehru
Try To Understand quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru
Somewhere along the way we realize our sensory experience is only part of reality and there's
an unseen dimension. We wrestle as we try to understand it - don't believe anyone who tells
you they don't. It's okay. It's in the wrestling where we find our faith. ~ Linda Hoye
Try To Understand quotes by Linda Hoye
Consciously or not, we are all on a quest for answers, trying to learn the lessons of life. We grapple with fear and guilt. We search for meaning, love, and power. We try to understand fear, loss, and time. We seek to discover who we are and how we can become truly happy. ~ Elisabeth Kubler Ross
Try To Understand quotes by Elisabeth Kubler Ross
Short story writers simply do what human beings have always done. They write stories because they have to; because they cannot rest until they have tried as hard as they can to write the stories. They cannot rest because they are human, and all of us need to speak into the silence of mortality, to interrupt and ever so briefly stop that quiet flow, and with stories try to understand at least some of it. ~ Andre Dubus
Try To Understand quotes by Andre Dubus
At my age, 85, I'm at age where I can look back and derive some conclusions about my actions. My rule has been try to learn, try to understand what happened. Develop the lessons and pass them on. ~ Robert McNamara
Try To Understand quotes by Robert McNamara
Our problem was that in the American approach to Soviet affairs policy has oscillated between people who take an essentially psychological approach and people who take an essentially theological approach, and the two really meet. The psychologists try to "understand" the Soviet Union. And try to ease its alleged fears. The theologians say the Soviets are evil. ~ Henry A. Kissinger
Try To Understand quotes by Henry A. Kissinger
When troubles come, try to understand the relevance of your sufferings. Adversity always presents opportunities for introspection." "Why ~ A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
Try To Understand quotes by A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
To me, healing means you have to recognize there is a wound and you try to understand what the sources of the wound are, which means you try to tell a story about how it came to be. So you have to engage in some historical interpretation. ~ Cornel West
Try To Understand quotes by Cornel West
When I try to understand somebody, create a character, I fall into them. When I think writers are telling me what to think, I get harrumphy. ~ Hari Kunzru
Try To Understand quotes by Hari Kunzru
Read for yourselves, read for the sake of your inspiration, for the sweet turmoil in your lovely head. But also read against yourselves, read for questioning and impotence, for despair and erudition, read the dry sardonic remarks of cynical philosophers like Cioran or even Carl Schmitt, read newspapers, read those who despise, dismiss or simply ignore poetry and try to understand why they do it. Read your enemies, read those who reinforce your sense of what's evolving in poetry, and also read those whose darkness or malice or madness or greatness you can't understand because only in this way will you grow, outlive yourself, and become what you are. ~ Adam Zagajewski
Try To Understand quotes by Adam Zagajewski
So it is our request that you try to study Bhagavad-gītā as it is. Don't try to distort it by your so-called education. Try to understand Kṛiṣṇa as He is saying. Then you will be benefited. Your life will be successful. ~ A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Try To Understand quotes by A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
In the castle of Benwick, the French boy was looking at his face in the polished surface of a kettle-hat. It flashed in the sunlight with the stubborn gleam of metal. It was practically the same as the steel helmet which soldiers still wear, and it did not make a good mirror, but it was the best he could get. He turned the hat in various directions, hoping to get an average idea of his face from the different distoritons which the bulges made. He was trying to find out what he was, and he was afraid of what he would find.
The boy thought that there was something wrong with him. All through his life
even when he was a great man with the world at his feet
he was to feel this gap: something at the bototm of his heart of which he was aware, and ashamed, but which he did not understand. There is no need for us to try to understand it. We do not have to dabble in a place which he preferred to keep secret. ~ T.H. White
Try To Understand quotes by T.H. White
Switch from a Performance Focus to a Mastery Focus

There's a way to keep your standards high but avoid the problems that come from perfectionism. If you can shift your thinking from a performance focus to a mastery focus, you'll become less fearful, more resilient, and more open to good, new ideas. Performance focus is when your highest priority is to show you can do something well now. Mastery focus is when you're mostly concerned with advancing your skills. Someone with a mastery focus will think, "My goal is to master this skill set" rather than "I need to perform well to prove myself."
A mastery focus can help you persist after setbacks. To illustrate this, imagine the following scenario: Adam is trying to master the art of public speaking. Due to his mastery goal, he's likely to take as many opportunities as he can to practice giving speeches. When he has setbacks, he'll be motivated to try to understand these and get back on track. His mastery focus will make him more likely to work steadily toward his goal. Compare this with performance-focused Rob, who is concerned just with proving his competence each time he gives a talk. Rob will probably take fewer risks in his style of presentation and be less willing to step outside his comfort zone. If he has an incident in which a talk doesn't go as well as he'd hoped, he's likely to start avoiding public speaking opportunities.
Mastery goals will help you become less upset about individual instances of fa ~ Alice Boyes
Try To Understand quotes by Alice Boyes
What I learned is, we have to listen to each other, even when we don't agree, even when we think we hate each other. We have to listen to each others narratives. Not interrupt defensively, or with hostility, but really try to open our hearts and listen with empathy. I learned so much from that meeting. It was a very difficult thing to do and it was one of the best things that I ever did in my life. Look what scares you in the face, and try to understand it. Empathy, I have learned, is revolutionary. ~ Jane Fonda
Try To Understand quotes by Jane Fonda
Being tough isn't in and of itself a bad thing. Looking back on it, though, I can see I was too used to being strong, and never tried to understand those who were weak. I was too used to being fortunate, and didn't try to understand those less fortunate. Too used to being healthy, and didn't try to understand the pain of those who weren't. Whenever I saw a person in trouble, somebody paralyzed by events, I decided it was entirely his fault––he just wasn't trying hard enough. People who complained were just plain lazy. My outlook on life was unshakable, and practical, but lacked any human warmth. And not a single person around me pointed this out.'" - Miu ~ Haruki Murakami
Try To Understand quotes by Haruki Murakami
While we cannot foresee the eventual results of creativity - of the attempt to impose our desires on reality, to become the main power that decides the destiny of every form of life on the planet - at least we can try to understand better what this force is and how it works. Because for better or for worse, our future is now closely tied to human creativity. The result will be determined in large part by our dreams and by the struggle to make them real. ~ Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Try To Understand quotes by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
We all commit our crimes. The thing is to not lie about them
to try to understand what you have done, why you have done it. That way, you can begin to forgive yourself. That's very important. If you don't forgive yourself you'll never be able to forgive anybody else and you'll go on committing the same crimes forever. ~ James Baldwin
Try To Understand quotes by James Baldwin
I became very interested in the Islamic question, and thought I would try to understand it from the roots, ask very simple questions and somehow make a narrative of that discovery. ~ V.S. Naipaul
Try To Understand quotes by V.S. Naipaul
And now I have to confess the unpardonable and the scandalous. I am a happy man. And I am going to tell you the secret of my happiness. It is quite simple. I love mankind. I love love. I hate hate. I try to understand and accept. ~ Jean Cocteau
Try To Understand quotes by Jean Cocteau
I think I've learned to be mindful. I may not have taken the time to try to understand narrative techniques, let's say, with any rigor, if I did not also have to try to explain those techniques to someone else. ~ John Dufresne
Try To Understand quotes by John Dufresne
To me, part of the fascinating profession of acting is to participate in all these strange situations, to try to understand all these interesting characters, fictitious or real, their human nature ... It's extraordinarily fascinating. ~ Max Von Sydow
Try To Understand quotes by Max Von Sydow
Whatever we do, let's not imagine that the Israelites were ancient versions of ourselves, maybe less well groomed, who were "nice," read their Bibles daily, the kind you could invite to church and want to marry your daughter, who would vote Republican or drive a hybrid. We respect these biblical stories most when we try to understand what the writers did and why, not when we place false expectations on them, like seeing them as a timeless script or a permanent fixture for how to think about God. ~ Peter Enns
Try To Understand quotes by Peter Enns
When you are young, you always expect that the world is going to end. And then you get older and the world still chugs along and you are forced to re-evaluate your stance on the apocalypse as well as your own relationship to time and death. You realize that the world will indeed continue, with or without you, and the pictures you see in your head. So you try to understand the pictures instead. ~ Douglas Coupland
Try To Understand quotes by Douglas Coupland
Vocation does not come from willfulness. It comes from listening. I must listen to my life and try to understand what it is truly about-quite apart from what I would like it to be about-or my life will never represent anything real in the world, no matter how earnest my intentions. ~ Parker J. Palmer

Try To Understand quotes by Nancy Horan
I don't know that it makes any difference whether it's at this time or a hundred years before or a hundred years later. I think always it's a matter of simply listen[ing] to what is going on around you and in your own experience. Try to understand what's happening, or if not to understand it, at least to appreciate the reality of it. ~ Frederick Buechner
