"Women may not have it easy, but we are given a fairer chance to reach for the top."
Quote by -Jessica Savitch
"I think I'll always want to improve my defense. That's something that can always be better. Not saying it's bad now, just something you should always work on."
Quote by -Carmelo Anthony
"I'm urging NASA to foster the development of what I call 'runway landers.' No, that's not the name of a high stakes gambler from Vegas. It's a type of spacecraft that flies to orbit like the retiring Shuttles but then glides to a landing like an airplane on a runway. Just like the Shuttles do."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"The best way to build team chemistry is the way Rupp used to substitute, when they fouled out."
Quote by -Dean Smith
"And when Hugh would grow progressively Gandhi on me, I'd remind him that these were pests---disease carriers who feasted upon the dead and then came indoors to dance upon our silverware."
Quote by -David Sedaris
“Life is an ongoing process of choosing between safety (out of fear and need for defense) and risk (for the sake of progress and growth). Make the growth choice a dozen times a day.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“To be able to listen -- really, wholly passively, self-effacingly listen -- without presupposing, classifying, improving, controverting, evaluating, approving or disapproving, without dueling with what is being said, without rehearsing the rebuttal in advance, without free-associating to portions of what is being said so that succeeding portions are not heard at all -- such listening is rare.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“To sum it up, from this point of view, the two religions of mankind tend to be the peakers and the non-peakers, that is to say, those who have private, personal, transcendent, core-religious experiences easily and often and who accept them and make use of them, and, on the other hand, those who have never had them or who repress or suppress them and who, therefore, cannot make use of them for their personal therapy, personal growth, or personal fulfillment.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“What this means is that, e. g., a basically satisfied person no longer has the needs for esteem, love, safety, etc. The only sense in which he might be said to have them is in the almost metaphysical sense that a sated man has hunger, or a filled bottle has emptiness”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“The division of labour, however, so far as it can be introduced, occasions, in every art, a proportionable increase of the productive powers of labour.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“Every faculty in one man is the measure by which he judges of the like faculty in another. I judge of your sight by my sight, of your ear by my ear, of your reason by my reason, of your resentment by my resentment, of your love by my love. I neither have, nor can have, any other way of judging about them.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“According, therefore, as this produce, or what is purchased with it, bears a greater or smaller proportion to the number of those who are to consume it, the nation will be better or worse supplied with all the necessaries and conveniencies for which it has occasion.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“All the improvements in machinery, however, have by no means been the inventions of those who had occasion to use the machines. Many improvements have been made by the ingenuity of the makers of the machines, when to make them became the business of a peculiar trade; and some by that of those who are called philosophers or men of speculation, whose trade it is not to do anything, but to observe everything; and who, upon that account, are often capable of combining together the powers of the most distant and dissimilar objects. In the progress of society, philosophy or speculation becomes, like every other employment, the principal or sole trade and occupation of a particular class of citizens. Like every other employment too, it is subdivided into a great number of different branches, each of which affords occupation to a peculiar tribe or class of philosophers; and this subdivision of employment in philosophy, as well as in every other business, improves dexterity, and saves time. Each individual becomes more expert in his own peculiar branch, more work is done upon the whole, and the quantity of science is considerably increased by it.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“The greatest improvement in the productive powers of labour, and the greater part of the skill, dexterity, and judgment with which it is anywhere directed, or applied, seem to have been the effects of the division of labour.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“We rarely hear, it has been said, of the combinations of masters, though frequently of those of workmen. But whoever imagines, upon this account, that masters rarely combine, is as ignorant of the world as of the subject.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“whatever part of it remains after paying the rent of the land, and the price of the whole labour employed in raising, manufacturing, and bringing it to market, must necessarily be profit to somebody.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“In all the different employments of stock, the ordinary rate of profit varies more or less with the certainty or uncertainty of the returns.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“It is in this manner that the demand for men, like that for any other commodity, necessarily regulates the production of men; quickens it when it goes on too slowly, and stops it when it advances too fast.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“Consumption is the sole end and purpose of all production; and the interest of the producer ought to be attended to, only so far as it may be necessary for promoting that of the consumer.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“We may often be of more consequence in our own eyes than in the eyes of our neighbours.”
Quote by -Aesop
I have a lot of growing up to do, or a lot of growing down. I think that's probably more appropriate.
Quote by -Macaulay Culkin
Progress would not have been the rarity it is if the early food had not been the late poison.
Quote by -Walter Bagehot
If we do not live where we work and when we work we are wasting our lives and our work too.
Quote by -Wendell Berry
Progress is the domination of chaos by mind and purpose, of matter by form and will. It need not be continuous to be real.
Quote by -Will Durant
Economic development specializes functions, differentiates abilities, and makes men unequally valuable to their group.
Quote by -Will Durant
I'm a Progressive. Much in the same way our founding fathers - who, oddly enough, wouldn't get elected today - were Progressives.
Quote by -Will Ferrell
We agreed that no one who had not grown up in a little prairie town could know anything about it. It was a kind of freemasonry, we said.
Quote by -Willa Cather
Stability is the beginning of the end. We only walk by continually beginning to fall forward.
Quote by -William Gibson
You have all played a significant part in my development of loving. As a result, my life has been rich and full, so I leave feeling very grateful.
Quote by -Virginia Satir
The recommended daily requirement for hugs is: four per day for survival, eight per day for maintenance, and twelve per day for growth.
Quote by -Virginia Satir
Life is not the way it's supposed to be, it's the way it is. The way you cope with that is what makes the difference.
Quote by -Virginia Satir
The growing economic potential of India and Russia is mutually complementary in many respects.
Quote by -Vladimir Putin
We develop our propensity to forgive or not to forgive by what we see illustrated at the early ages of our development.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
It's the same each time with progress. First they ignore you, then they say you're mad, then dangerous, then there's a pause and then you can't find anyone who disagrees with you.
Quote by -Tony Benn
