World

We could have saved the Earth but we were too damned cheap.
- Vonnegut Jr., Kurt
World Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about World

1.
Next to reasoning, the greatest handicap to the optimum development of Man lies in the fact that this planet is just barely habitable. Its minimum temperatures are too low, and its maximum temperatures too high. Its day is not long enough, and its night is too long. The disposition of its water and earth is distinctly unfortunate (the existence of the Mediterranean Sea in the place where we find it is perhaps the unhappiest accident in the whole firmament). These factors encourage depression, fear, war, and lack of vitality. They describe a planet, which is by no means perfectly devised for the nurturing or for the perpetuation of a higher intelligence.
Thurber, James

2.
It doesn't matter much what happens in this world, there's going to be somebody who'll tell you that he knew it would.

3.
Let me enjoy the earth no less because the all-enacting light that fashioned forth its loveliness had other aims than my delight.
Hardy, Thomas

4.
The real world is not user-friendly
Throop III, Kelvin

5.
The beauties of the world are best seen by those who strive to reach them.

6.
We can only change the world by changing men.
Wells, Charles

7.
I've been up the mountain and I had a choice. Should I come down? So I came down. God said, Okay, you've been up on the mountain, now you go down. You're on your own, free. Check in later, but now you're on your own.
Dylan, Bob

8.
The world's a forest, in which all lose their way; though by a different path each goes astray.
Villiers, George

9.
Some of us still get all weepy when we think about the Gaia Hypothesis, the idea that earth is a big furry goddess-creature who resembles everybody's mom in that she knows what's best for us. But if you look at the historical record -- Krakatoa, Mt. Vesuvius, Hurricane Charley, poison ivy, and so forth down the ages -- you have to ask yourself: Whose side is she on, anyway?
Ehrenreich, Barbara

10.
The earth only has so much bounty to offer and inventing ever larger and more notional prices for that bounty does not change its real value.
Elton, Ben

11.
We will look upon the earth and her sister planets as being with us, not for us. One does not rape a sister.
Daly, Mary

12.
Europe and the U.K. are yesterday's world. Tomorrow is in the United States.
Rowland, R. W. ''Tiny''

13.
The world is but a large prison, out of which some are daily selected for execution.
Raleigh, Sir Walter

14.
I tell you one thing -- if you want peace of mind, do not find fault with others. Rather learn to see your own faults. Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
Devi, Sri Sarada

15.
If there be light, then there is darkness; if cold, heat; if height, depth; if solid, fluid; if hard, soft; if rough, smooth; if calm, tempest; if prosperity, adversity; if life, death.
Pythagoras

16.
I have, indeed, even omitted facts, which, on account of their singularity, must in the eyes of some have appeared to border on the marvelous. But in the forests of South America such extraordinary realities are to be found, that there is assuredly no need to have recourse to fiction or the least exaggeration.
Stedman, Captain J. G.

17.
God had created the world in play.
Ramakrishna, Sri

18.
He, in his developed manhood, stood, a little sunburn by the glare of life.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

19.
The world is not comprehensible, but it is embraceable: through the embracing of one of its beings.
Buber, Martin

20.
I am not belittling the brave pioneer men but the sunbonnet as well as the sombrero has helped to settle this glorious land of ours.
Ferber, Edna

21.
The world, as a rule, does not live on beaches and in country clubs.

22.
I believe that the first step in the setting of a real external world is the formation of the concept of bodily objects and of bodily objects of various kinds.
Einstein, Albert

23.
I have been in love, and in debt, and in drink, this many and many a year.
Brome, Alexander

24.
To see the earth as we now see it, small and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see ourselves as riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the unending night -- brothers who see now they are truly brothers.
Macleish, Archibald

25.
That observation which is called knowledge of the world will be found much more frequently to make men cunning than good.
Johnson, Samuel

26.
To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.
Lapham, Lewis H.

27.
God owns heaven but He craves the earth.
Sexton, Anne

28.
We are citizens of the world. The tragedy of our times is that we do not know this.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

29.
The earth is the very quintessence of the human condition.
Arendt, Hannah

30.
And that's the world in a nutshell, which is an appropriate receptacle.
Dunn, Stan

31.
For one man is my world of all the men this wide world holds; O love, my world is you.
Rossetti, Christina

32.
The world is full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

33.
The open frontier, the hardships of homesteading from scratch, the wealth of natural resources, the whole vast challenge of a continent waiting to be exploited, combined to produce a prevailing materialism and an American drive bent as much, if not more, on money, property, and power than was true of the Old World from which we had fled.
Tuchman, Barbara

34.
The world is too much with us; late and soon, getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: Little we see in Nature that is ours.
Wordsworth, William

35.
You're the best Mom in the whole, wide world!
Cleaver, Beaver

36.
After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say I WANT TO SEE THE MANAGER.
Burroughs, William S.

37.
The world is a living image of God.
Campanella, Tommaso

38.
The world is not growing worse and it is not growing better -- it is just turning around as usual.
Dunne, Finley Peter

39.
The earth is not a mere fragment of dead history, stratum upon stratum like the leaves of a book, to be studied by geologists and antiquaries chiefly, but living poetry like the leaves of a tree, which precede flowers and fruit -- not a fossil earth, but a living earth; compared with whose great central life all animal and vegetable life is merely parasitic. Its throes will heave our exuviate from their graves.
Thoreau, Henry David

40.
The world does owe you a living, but it doesn't home deliver.
Saunders

41.
We could have saved the Earth but we were too damned cheap.
Vonnegut Jr., Kurt

42.
The world is in your hands, now use it.
Collins, Phil

43.
The settlement of America had its origins in the unsettlement of Europe. America came into existence when the European was already so distant from the ancient ideas and ways of his birthplace that the whole span of the Atlantic did not widen the gulf.
Mumford, Lewis

44.
The great battleground for the defense and expansion of freedom today is the whole southern half of the globe... the lands of the rising peoples. Their revolution is the greatest in human history. They seek an end to injustice, tyranny and exploitation. More than an end, they seek a beginning.
Kennedy, John F.

45.
Other nations have tried to check... the fulfillment of our manifest destiny to overspread the continent allotted by Providence for the free development of our yearly multiplying millions.
O'Sullivan, John Louis

46.
Is it possible that I am not alone in believing that in the dispute between Galileo and the Church, the Church was right and the center of man's universe is the earth?
Vizinczey, Stephen

47.
The world in which we were called to exist was an absurd world, and there was no other in which we could take refuge.
Camus, Albert

48.
You do not reform a world by ignoring it.
Bush, George

49.
Being human signifies, for each one of us, belonging to a class, a society, a country, a continent and a civilization; and for us European earth-dwellers, the adventure played out in the heart of the New World signifies in the first place that it was not our world and that we bear responsibility for the crime of its destruction.
Levi-Strauss, Claude

50.
Everything done in the world is done by hope.
Luther, Martin
