I would like to propose that the reason our actions have been so manifestly unsuccessful in steering the world away from its present collision course is that we have not, generally speaking, been basing them on any true understanding. ~ Charles Eisenstein
World Problems quotes by Charles Eisenstein
I prefer to solve the world's problems. They never seem as complicated as my own. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
World Problems quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
Many fall into the trap of championing the exact theology of a saint from the past, which can have errors and imbalances, and then they perpetuate these problems into the modern Christian world. Such believers are sadly being guided more by their zeal and reading of past saints than by their personal walk with the Lord and the guidance of the Spirit of God in their lives. ~ Greg Gordon
World Problems quotes by Greg Gordon
Modern problems proliferate and remain unsolved because we spend so much time trying to deal with societal and world problems without first dealing with family and community problems. If we organized for normal families and communities - if these two groups provided the functions they are designed for - world problems would diminish and fade out in two or three generations. ~ Ralph Borsodi
World Problems quotes by Ralph Borsodi
These forays into the real world sharpened his view that scientists needed the widest possible education. He used to say, "How can you design for people if you don't know history and psychology? You can't. Because your mathematical formulas may be perfect, but the people will screw it up. And if that happens, it means you screwed it up." He peppered his lectures with quotations from Plato, Chaka Zulu, Emerson, and Chang-tzu.

But as a professor who was popular with his students - and who advocated general education - Thorne found himself swimming against the tide. The academic world was marching toward ever more specialized knowledge, expressed in ever more dense jargon. In this climate, being liked by your students was a sign of shallowness; and interest in real-world problems was proof of intellectual poverty and a distressing indifference to theory. ~ Michael Crichton
World Problems quotes by Michael Crichton
The power that dominates cannot solve world problems. The power that loves can solve world problems. ~ Sri Chinmoy
World Problems quotes by Sri Chinmoy
People who write to 'Dear Abby' don't always have the most earthshaking problems in the world. ~ Jeanne Phillips
World Problems quotes by Jeanne Phillips
At the beginning of a meditation session your thoughts will be relatively earthbound. You will think about yourself, your world, problems, difficulties and anxieties. ~ Frederick Lenz
World Problems quotes by Frederick Lenz
Should we in America refuse to alter our lifestyle, I believe we will experience increasing dehumanization - of ourselves- both individually and corporately. To begin to share on a broad scale, therefore, is not just a matter of obedience to God or of altruism but rather a necessary requirement for remaining human. ~ Richard Baer
World Problems quotes by Richard Baer
When I first started out, I thought it was enough to make an angry song that pointed out the problems of the world. ~ Michael Franti
World Problems quotes by Michael Franti
What one does in the studio is to pose a series of problems to oneself. I've got to look for some deeper meaning, for some reason for this thing to be in the world. There's enough stuff in the world. ~ Anish Kapoor
World Problems quotes by Anish Kapoor
We must face the fact that the United States is neither omnipotent nor omniscient, that we cannot impose our will upon the other 94 percent of mankind, that we cannot right every wrong or reverse every adversity, and that therefore there cannot be an American solution to every world problem. ~ John F. Kennedy
World Problems quotes by John F. Kennedy
I snorted. Brace and Lucy loved to make fun of me for my minor freak out when I'd been bitten by a zombie. I think I had a legit reaction to what could have been a tragic situation. ~ Jaymin Eve
World Problems quotes by Jaymin Eve
Imagine what our planet would look like with an increase in temperature of two degrees or four degrees, given that at 0.8 degrees we already have serious problems in the world. ~ Evo Morales
World Problems quotes by Evo Morales
There is no miracle cure for the many problems of the world. ~ Guy Verhofstadt
World Problems quotes by Guy Verhofstadt
Trying to solve the worlds problems by making things 5% more efficient is like trying to play the violin with gardening gloves. Not much good will come out of it. We must invent new ways! ~ Philippe Kahn
World Problems quotes by Philippe Kahn
Inequality and poverty, health and wealth are hand in hand.
And if we are all born equal that should be true in all lands.
We cannot divide the world between poor and rich countries.
It's like saying the ones are good, the others are junkies.
That can only increase more prejudice, miseries and sorrow.
Turning the wheel today it will lead to a better tomorrow. ~ Ana Claudia Antunes
World Problems quotes by Ana Claudia Antunes
Fuck you and your First World problems! If every cunt that had taken their first ecky commited adultery by jacksie-rifling the first psycho fucker who smiled at them, not one worthwhile relationship in Britain would still exist! ~ Irvine Welsh
World Problems quotes by Irvine Welsh
I don't deny that there are problems in the intelligence world, but I would argue that in the UK we try to uphold the highest standards in the world. ~ William Hague
World Problems quotes by William Hague
There seems to be a formula for life, formula devised and perfected over centuries of labour by many anonymous brains. Like all formulas this formula provided a solution too, solutions for real-world problems.
Birth→education→work→earn→marry→reproduce→indoctrinate your child with same formula→die = survival ~ J. Yuvanesh
World Problems quotes by J. Yuvanesh
There will be no room, here, for the smug myopia which views American civilization as the final solution to all world problems; which recommends our institutions for universal adoption and turns away with contempt from the serious study of the institutions of peoples whose civilizations may seem to us to be materially less advanced. ~ George F. Kennan
World Problems quotes by George F. Kennan
if the world will attain its utmost peace and stability;and contentions be limited, then the ideology, philosophy and mentality of people in the world should be shifted from the more you acquire the more valuable you are to the more you give the more important you are and with the mentality that giving is a sacred responsibility and not a competition ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
World Problems quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
At a first glance, medical psychology seems to have nothing to do with religion. But at its depth it provides a new, though at the same time primordial, perspective on what should be the subject matter of religion. It is both a criticism and an approval of religion. It is in and through the soul that problems of the world reveal themselves as world problems. ~ Polly Young-Eisendrath
World Problems quotes by Polly Young-Eisendrath
I'd say that any character or setting can be given a bit of an otherworldly sheen and be the better for it. The one thing I insist on with my own writing is that I won't let magic solve my characters' real world problems. The solutions have to come from the characters themselves. ~ Charles De Lint
World Problems quotes by Charles De Lint
Out of all virtues simplicity is my most favorite virtue. So much so that I tend to believe that simplicity can solve most of the problems, personal as well as the world problems. If the life approach is simple one need not lie so frequently, nor quarrel nor steal, nor envy, anger, abuse, kill. Everyone will have enough and plenty so need not hoard, speculate, gamble, hate. When character is beautiful, you are beautiful. That is the beauty of simplicity. ~ Ela Bhatt
World Problems quotes by Ela Bhatt
Feeling the inevitable claim of the this desert, he experienced a desire to throw off his civilized costume, hurl himself upon Josephina, either succumb, or return to Guadalajara, where men could only complain of having too many buttons to button or unbutton... ~ Warren Eyster
World Problems quotes by Warren Eyster
My jet lag is getting a bit ridiculous. But, you know, it's first-world problems. It's a wonderful problem, 'Oh I have to travel around the world; how awful.' ~ Margot Robbie
World Problems quotes by Margot Robbie
There is a tendency to throw computers at third world problems, which I think is often a distraction. Putting computers in the schools is great, but it may be more important to put teachers in the schools. ~ Terry Winograd
World Problems quotes by Terry Winograd
Frankie," she said softly, "do you know what my idea of heaven is? A place where the windows are always clean, and the people I want can always come to dinner. ~ Helen Hudson
World Problems quotes by Helen Hudson
I'd rather be eaten by a dragon. ~ Patricia C. Wrede
World Problems quotes by Patricia C. Wrede
The whole world is tense. Everybody gets the international news. Theres been no American comedy at all that even remotely addresses the subject in any way. My goal isnt to solve the worlds problems. My character wasnt even able to do his assignment. But the premise of wanting to find out about somebody
other than the stuff that the CIA will tell you
theres no hope unless we do that. ~ Albert Brooks
World Problems quotes by Albert Brooks
I accept the fact that there is always a way out in every situation we find ourselves but, until we begin to ponder, panacea will be very scarce ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
World Problems quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
I want to be this generation's Sherlock Holmes. That is, the man to solve first world problems. ~ J.R. Rim
World Problems quotes by J.R. Rim
If world problems feel too big to tackle, think small. Step by step. Small wins build confidence, lead the way to change. ~ Rosabeth Moss Kanter
World Problems quotes by Rosabeth Moss Kanter
There's bloodstains on my carpet, so I can't have any vampire over, lest they lick they carpet while I'm urinating on it. Ugh, first world problems. ~ Jarod Kintz
World Problems quotes by Jarod Kintz
Google is already overflowing with incredibly creative bright groups already working on lots of the software problems of the world. ~ Astro Teller
World Problems quotes by Astro Teller
What if we started to live our real lives like gamers, lead our real businesses and communities like game designers, and think about solving real-world problems like computer and video game theorists? ~ Jane McGonigal
World Problems quotes by Jane McGonigal
The U.N. can be very frustrating and at times impotent, but it can also be a valuable forum for discussion and resolution of world problems. We should not walk away from it just because it's failed to live up to its promise. ~ Robert Foster Bennett
World Problems quotes by Robert Foster Bennett
A wise person knows when and how to make the exception to every rule. A wise person knows how to improvise. Real-world problems are often ambiguous and ill-defined and the context is always changing. A wise person is like a jazz musician -- using the notes on the page, but dancing around them, inventing combinations that are appropriate for the situation and the people at hand. ~ Barry Schwarz
World Problems quotes by Barry Schwarz
The sense of the world must lie outside the world ... What we cannot speak about we must remain silent about ... What can be described can happen too, and what is excluded by the laws of causality cannot be described. ~ Ludwig Wittgenstein
World Problems quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
Strange friend,' I said,'here is no cause to mourn.' 'None,'said the other,'save the undone years, The hopelessness.Whatever hope is yours Was my life also; I went hunting wild After the wildest beauty in the world. ~ Wilfred Owen
World Problems quotes by Wilfred Owen
I never wanted to be a businessman, I just wanted to change the world ~ Richard Branson
World Problems quotes by Richard Branson
Another reason Westerners are tempted to compromise is because we tend to view the world dualistically. Things are true or false, right or wrong, good or bad. We have little patience for ambiguity or for the unsettling reality that values change over time. ~ E. Randolph Richards
World Problems quotes by E. Randolph Richards
No murderer had before or has since caused such a sensation, passed so quickly into folklore or gained an image – top hat, cape and Gladstone bag – that is truly iconic: as instantly recognisable as Sherlock Holmes's deerstalker and meerschaum pipe, and as capable of conveying a meaning understood around the world – even by people who know nothing about the Ripper or what he did, or that he, unlike Holmes, actually existed. ~ Paul Begg
World Problems quotes by Paul Begg
I want peace; yes, I'd sell the whole world for a farthing, straight off, so long as I was left in peace. Is the world to go to pot, or am I to go without my tea? I say that the world may go to pot for me so long as I always get my tea. Did you know that, or not? Well, anyway, I know that I am a blackguard, a scoundrel, an egoist, a sluggard. ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
World Problems quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Of all things in the world that stink in the nostrils of men, hypocrisy is the worst. ~ Charles Spurgeon
World Problems quotes by Charles Spurgeon
It's also true, however, that having conquered the regional writer ghetto, I am now intent on conquering the nationalist writer ghetto and moving out into the world more. ~ Rick Moody
World Problems quotes by Rick Moody
When you get to a point where there's absolutely nothing you can count on in this world, you're home free. ~ Art Hochberg
World Problems quotes by Art Hochberg
Scanning the newspapers and absorbing with a mixture of incredulity and indignation the enormities they report, I conclude that what England lacks today is, quite simply, sense. ~ Paul Johnson
World Problems quotes by Paul Johnson
Our personal demons come in many guises. We experience them as shame, as jealousy, as abandonment, as rage. They are anything that makes us so uncomfortable that we continually run away. We do the big escape: we act out, say something, slam a door, hit someone, or throw a pot as a way of not facing what's happening in our hearts. Or we shove the feelings under and somehow deaden the pain. We can spend our whole lives escaping from the monsters of our minds. All over the world, people are so caught in running that they forget to take advantage of the beauty around them. We become so accustomed to speeding ahead that we rob ourselves of joy. ~ Pema Chodron
World Problems quotes by Pema Chodron
Throughout out history, when people have looked for new ways to solve their problems, and to uphold the principles of this nation, many times they have turned to political parties. They have often turned to the Democratic Party. ~ Barbara Jordan
World Problems quotes by Barbara Jordan
I wonder through the days like a whore in a world with no sidewalks. ~ Emil Cioran
World Problems quotes by Emil Cioran
This story has been in my heart for a long time. These are human stories that hopefully shift the paradigm about how we think about power, authority and relationships. My book is truly one of fiction, but no one ever writes in a vacuum. We write what we know. As they say, art imitates life, and is often larger than life. Hence, my metafictional work was, of course, inspired by my career in the eccentric Reality TV world. We all know reality television is not real, but what it does provide is a wonderful platform to understand essential themes about identity, in all people. ~ Jay Manuel
World Problems quotes by Jay Manuel
Of all the nations in the Western world, the United States, with the most money and the most time, has the fewest readers of books per capita. This is an incalculable loss. This, too, is one of the few civilized nations in the world which is unable to support a single magazine devoted solely to books. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
World Problems quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
Any man who is attached to things of this world is one who lives in ignorance and is being consumed by the snakes of his own passions ~ Black Elk
World Problems quotes by Black Elk
Like racism and all forms of prejudice, bigotry against transgendered people is a deadly carcinogen. We are pitted against each other in order to keep us from seeing each other as allies. Genuine bonds of solidarity can be forged between people who respect each other's differences and are willing to fight their enemy together. We are the class that does the work of the world, and can revolutionize it. We can win true liberation. ~ Leslie Feinberg
World Problems quotes by Leslie Feinberg
In my work I sometimes borrow Claire's nature, as well as her careful focus on the world. ~ Michael Ondaatje
World Problems quotes by Michael Ondaatje
I've decided to retreat to the spirit world where I feel appreciated and understood. ~ Dov Davidoff
World Problems quotes by Dov Davidoff
Optimism is not inherently a superior way of viewing the world. Certainly doctors will say it might be better for one's physical health to be an optimist. But, morally speaking it may not be appropriate in certain circumstances. ~ Todd Solondz
World Problems quotes by Todd Solondz
It is a terrible thing to learn as a child that one is a being separate from all the world, that no one and no thing hurts along with one's burned tongues and skinned knees, that one's aches and pains are all one's own. Even more terrible, as we grow older, to learn that no person, no matter how beloved, can ever truly understand us. Our own selves make us most unhappy, and that's why we're so anxious to lose them ... ~ Donna Tartt
World Problems quotes by Donna Tartt
The world is now awash in data and we can see consumers in a lot clearer ways. ~ Max Levchin
World Problems quotes by Max Levchin
In today's world, money is like oxygen - lack of oxygen can kill you, so can too much of it. ~ Abhijit Naskar
World Problems quotes by Abhijit Naskar
More seriously-and this is probably why there has been a lot of garbage talked about a lost generation-it was easy to see, all over the landscape of contemporary fiction, the devastating effect of the Thatcher years. So many of these writers wrote without hope. They had lost all ambition, all desire to to wrestle with the world. Their books dealt with tiny patches of the world, tiny pieces of human experience-a council estate, a mother, a father, a lost job. Very few writers had the courage or even the energy to bite off a big chunk of the universe and chew it over. Very few showed any linguistic or formal innovation. Many were dulled and therefore dull. (And then, even worse, there were the Hooray Henries and Sloanes who evidently thought that the day of the yuppie novel, and the Bellini-drinking, okay-yah fiction had dawned. Dukedoms and country-house bulimics abounded. It was plain that too may books were being published; that too many writers had found their way into print without any justification for it at all; that too many publishers had adopted a kind of random, scattergun policy of publishing for turnover and just hoping that something would strike a cord.
When the general picture is so disheartening, it is easy to miss the good stuff. I agreed to be a judge for "Best of Young British Novelists II" because I wanted to find out for myself if the good stuff really was there. In my view, it is...One of my old schoolmasters was fond of devising English versions of ~ Salman Rushdie
World Problems quotes by Salman Rushdie
I felt so stupid and young, and at the same time something was cracking open inside me, or maybe it was the world was cracking open to show me something really important underneath. I knew I was only seeing a tiny bit of it, but it was bigger than anything I'd ever seen or felt before. ~ Ruth Ozeki
World Problems quotes by Ruth Ozeki
We are not content in looking to our newspapers for all the information that earth and human intellect can afford; but we demand from them what we might demand if a daily sheet could come to us from the world of spirits. The result, of course, is this, - that the papers do pretend that they have come daily from the world of spirits; but the oracles are very doubtful, as were those of old ~ Anthony Trollope
World Problems quotes by Anthony Trollope
Steve's head dropped and stared at his feet. After a weighty, uncomfortable pause, he issued a challenge that would haunt me for days. " Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want a chance to change the world?"
Sculley felt as if he had been punched in the stomach. There was no response possible other than to acquiesce. " He had a uncanny ability to always get what he wanted, to size up a person and know exactly what to say to reach a person," Sculley recalled. ~ Walter Isaacson
World Problems quotes by Walter Isaacson
Prior to modern times, the term 'Islamic' (Islami in Arabic) was almost never used to define the provenance, status, or substance of things. There was no such thing as 'Islamic art', 'Islamic economics', or even 'Islamic law.' ... The encounter with the modern West, however, ultimately changed the status of 'Islamic.' Inasmuch as the rise of the West converted the achievements of Darwin, Descartes, and Hegel from mere English, French, or German achievements into explicitly 'Western' ones, it also engendered the need for a parallel convention for demarcating the non-Western 'other.' The Western provenance of the modern neologism 'Islamic' is perhaps best revealed in its tendency to connote geography and ethnicity. 'Islamic', in other words, connotes not simply that which is related to or a product of Islam as a religion but that which relates to a particularly non-European people in a non-European part of the world. In this capacity, it carries both a descriptive and a prescriptive force... For no modern Muslim nor non-Muslim would include the likes of such Arab Christians as Michel Aflaq or San' Allah Ibrahim among the 'thinkers of Islam.' Rather, in Western parlance, the modern 'Islamic' began as an instrument to demarcate the boundary between the west and a particular set of 'others.' In Muslim hands, it would go on to evolve into a full-blown signifier of normative Islam and a tool for delineating the boundary between it and Islam. Its added utility, moreover, as a mechani ~ Sherman A. Jackson
World Problems quotes by Sherman A. Jackson
Friends, you will notice that in this world there are many more ballocks than men. Remember this. ~ Francois Rabelais
World Problems quotes by Francois Rabelais
As Miriam released my hand I felt that she and Midwife Bell had returned to a more primitive world, where men never intruded and even their role in conception was unknown. Here the chain of life was mother to daughter, daughter to mother. Fathers and sons belonged in the shadows with the dogs and livestock, like the retriever growling at Midwife Bell's unfamiliar car from the window of my neighbours' living room. ~ J.G. Ballard
World Problems quotes by J.G. Ballard
So Janie began to think of Death. Death, that strange being with the huge square toes who lived way in the West. The great one who lived in the straight house like a platform without sides to it, and without a roof. What need has Death for a cover, and what winds can blow against him? He stands in his high house that overlooks the world. Stands watchful and motionless all day with his sword drawn back, waiting for the messenger to bid him come. Been standing there before there was a where or a when or a then. She was liable to find a feather from his wings lying in her yard any day now. She was sad and afraid too. Poor Jody! He ought not to have to wrassle in there by himself. She sent Sam in to suggest a visit, but Jody said No. These medical doctors wuz all right with the Godly sick, but they didn't know a thing about a case like his. He'd be all right just as soon as the two-headed man found what had been buried against him. He wasn't going to die at all. That was what he thought. But Sam told her different, so she knew. And then if he hadn't the next morning she was bound to know, for people began to gather in the big yard under the palm and china-berry trees. People who would not have dared to foot the place before crept in and did not come to the house. Just squatted under the trees and waited. Rumor, that wingless bird, had shadowed over the town. ~ Zora Neale Hurston
World Problems quotes by Zora Neale Hurston
The capitalists owned everything in the world, and everyone else was their slave. They owned all the land, all the houses, all the factories, and all the money. If anyone disobeyed them they could throw him into prison, or they could take his job away and starve him to death. When any ordinary person spoke to a capitalist he had to cringe and bow to him, and take off his cap and address him as 'Sir' ~ George Orwell
World Problems quotes by George Orwell
