Could Quotes

As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.
Henry David Thoreau

Time, Eternity, Injuring

I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art, finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his 'divine service.'
Friedrich Nietzsche

Good, Art, Wish

You're not going to say anything about me that I'm not going to say about myself. There's so many things that I think about myself; if someone really wanted to get at me, they could say this and this and this. So I'm going to say it before they can. It's the best policy for me.
Eminem

Best, Someone, Before

Bottom line is, I didn't return to Apple to make a fortune. I've been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn't going to let it ruin my life. There's no way you could ever spend it all, and I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.
Steve Jobs

Life, Worth, Lucky

What each must seek in his life never was on land or sea. It is something out of his own unique potentiality for experience, something that never has been and never could have been experienced by anyone else.
Joseph Campbell

Life, Experience, Else

I take things like honor and loyalty seriously. It's more important to me than any materialistic thing or any fame I could have.
Lloyd Banks

Loyalty, Important, Honor

Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.
Martin Luther

Life, Faith, God

Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.
Thomas Sowell

Failure, Ignore, Socialism

I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.
Henry David Thoreau

Best, Before, Wish

Faith keeps many doubts in her pay. If I could not doubt, I should not believe.
Henry David Thoreau

Faith, Doubt, Her

I would like to be remembered as a man who had a wonderful time living life, a man who had good friends, fine family - and I don't think I could ask for anything more than that, actually.
Frank Sinatra

Life, Family, Time

I was more independent than any farmer in Concord, for I was not anchored to a house or farm, but could follow the bent of my genius, which is a very crooked one, every moment.
Henry David Thoreau

Moment, Genius, House

How could youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of living?
Henry David Thoreau

Live, Trying, Living

To solve any problem, here are three questions to ask yourself: First, what could I do? Second, what could I read? And third, who could I ask?
Jim Rohn

Yourself, Problem, Here

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
Steve Jobs

Life, Best, Successful

And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don't get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We're always thinking about new markets we could enter, but it's only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.
Steve Jobs

Important, Saying, Thinking

Front yards are not made to walk in, but, at most, through, and you could go in the back way.
Henry David Thoreau

Through, Made, Walk

And this President wakes up every morning, looks out across America and is proud to announce, 'It could be worse.' It could be worse? Is that what it means to be an American? It could be worse? Of course not. What defines us as Americans is our unwavering conviction that we know it must be better.
Mitt Romney

Morning, America, Proud

Bill Gates

Religion, Time, Morning

The struggle of my life created empathy - I could relate to pain, being abandoned, having people not love me.
Oprah Winfrey

Life, Love, Pain

Cruelty would be delicious if one could only find some sort of cruelty that didn't really hurt.
George Bernard Shaw

Hurt, Find, Cruelty

If we could just find out who's in charge, we could kill him.
George Carlin

Him, Find, Charge

I write from my soul. This is the reason that critics don't hurt me, because it is me. If it was not me, if I was pretending to be someone else, then this could unbalance my world, but I know who I am.
Paulo Coelho

Hurt, Someone, Soul

I worked hard all my life as far as this music business. I dreamed of the day when I could go to New York and feel comfortable and they could come out here and be comfortable.
Tupac Shakur

Life, Music, Business

All the laws and legislation in the world will never heal this world like the loving hearts and arms of mothers and fathers. If every child could drift to sleep feeling wrapped in the love of their family - and God's love - this world would be a far more gentle and better place.
Mitt Romney

Love, Family, God

Success, Peace, Health
