Conflict Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Conflict

1.
I cannot divine how it happens that the man who knows the least is the most argumentative.
Casa, Giovani della

2.
We cannot really think in one way and act in another...
Troward, Thomas

3.
What people need and what they want may be very different.
Hubbard, Elbert

4.
The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm that is not easily disturbed. It is just these intense conflicts and their conflagration which are needed to produce valuable and lasting results.
Jung, Carl

5.
The most dramatic conflicts are perhaps, those that take place not between men but between a man and himself -- where the arena of conflict is a solitary mind.
Moustakas, Clark

6.
A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

7.
When our knowing exceeds our sensing, we will no longer be deceived by the illusions of our senses.
Russell, Walter

I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. [2 Timothy 4:7]
Bible

9.
What rights are those that dare not resist for them?
Tennyson, Lord Alfred

10.
This duality has been reflected in classical as well as modern literature as reason versus passion, or mind versus intuition. The split between the conscious mind and the unconscious. There are moments in each of our lives when our verbal-intellect suggests one course, and our hearts, or intuition, another.
Ornstein, Robert E.

11.
The war existing between the senses and reason.
Pascal, Blaise

12.
We know better than we do. We do not yet possess ourselves...
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

13.
For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. [(Romans 7:19]
Bible

14.
Reason guides but a small part of man, and the rest obeys feeling, true or false, and passion, good or bad.
Roux, Joseph

15.
I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict.
Plato

16.
No man ever did a designed injury to another, but at the same time he did a greater to himself.
Kames, Lord

17.
Modern science knows much about such conflicts. We call the mental state that engenders it ambivalence: a collision between thought and feeling.
Seabury, David

18.
Only by pride comes contention; but, with the well-advised is wisdom. [Proverbs 13:10]
Bible

19.
Like a ball bated back and forth, a human being is batted by two forces within.
Upanishad, Yogabindu

20.
We are enslaved by anything we do not consciously see. We are freed by conscious perception.
Howard, Vernon

21.
The days are too short even for love; how can there be enough time for quarreling?
Gatty, Margaret

22.
I'm not a combative person.My long experience has taught me to resolve conflict by raising the issues before I or others burn their boats.
Grant, Alistair

23.
Reason and emotion are not antagonists. What seems like a struggle between two opposing ideas or values, one of which, automatic and unconscious, manifests itself in the form of a feeling.
Branden, Nathaniel

24.
One might as well try to ride two horses moving in different directions, as to try to maintain in equal force two opposing or contradictory sets of desires.
Collier, Robert

25.
It's when you're safe at home that you wish you were having an adventure. When you're having an adventure you wish you were safe at home.
Wilder, Thornton

26.
Remember that when you meet your antagonist, to do everything in a mild agreeable manner. Let your courage be keen, but, at the same time, as polished as your sword.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

27.
The easiest thing to find on God's green earth is someone to tell you all the things you cannot do.
DeVos, Richard M.

28.
We are only falsehood, duplicity, contradiction; we both conceal and disguise ourselves from ourselves.
Pascal, Blaise

29.
You cannot perform in a manner inconsistent with the way you see yourself.
Ziglar, Zig

30.
The subconscious part in us is called the subjective mind, because it does not decide and command. It is subject rather than a ruler. Its nature is to do what it is told, or what really in your heart of hearts you desire.
Walsh, William T.

31.
You are at enmity with yourself.
Boehme, Jacob

32.
Commonly they must use their feet for defense whose only weapon is their tongue.
Sidney, Sir Philip

33.
The split in you is clear. There is a part of you that knows what it should do, and a part that does what it feels like doing.
Kiley, John Cantwell

34.
Perhaps no mightier conflict of mind occurs ever again in a lifetime than that first decision to unseat one's own tooth.
Fowler, Gene

35.
Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference, ... a oneness and integration of the two opposing forces. Then the civil war is finished, and your energies are ready for your struggle with the world.
Perls, Frederick Salomon

36.
No man is hurt but by himself
Diogenes of Sinope

37.
We gain our ends only with the laws of nature; we control her only by understanding her laws.
Bronowski, Jacob

38.
The term up has no meaning apart from the word down. The term fast has no meaning apart from the term slow. In addition such terms have no meaning even when used together, except when confined to a very particular situation... most of our language about the organization and objective's of government is made up of such polar terms. Justice and injustice are typical. A reformer who wants to abolish injustice and create a world in which nothing but justice prevails is like a man who wants to make everything up. Such a man might feel that if he took the lowest in the world and carried it up to the highest point and kept on doing this, everything would eventually become up. This would certainly move a great many objects and create an enormous amount of activity. It might or might not be useful, according to the standards which we apply. However it would never result in the abolishment of down.
Arnold, Thurman W.

39.
There are always two forces warring against each other within us.
Yogananda, Paramahansa

40.
The archenemy is the arch stupid!
Carlyle, Thomas

41.
The fibers of all things have their tension and are strained like the strings of an instrument.
Thoreau, Henry David

42.
As long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as you otherwise might.
Anderson, Marian

43.
Why don't you want to do what you know you should do? The reason you don't is that you're in conflict with yourself.
Hopkins, Tom

44.
Insight into the two selves within a man clears up many confusions and contradictions. It was our understanding that preceded our victory.
Howard, Vernon

45.
The most important of life's battles is the one we fight daily in the silent chambers of the soul.
Mckay, David O.

46.
Who digs a pit for others will fall in themselves.
Proverb, German

47.
Don't jump on a man unless he is down.
Dunne, Finley Peter

48.
A good swordsman is not given to quarrel.
Proverb, French

49.
The trouble with self-made men is that they tend to worship their creator.

50.
Those that are the loudest in their threats are the weakest in their actions.
Colton, Charles Caleb
