Tool Quotations
We must use time as a tool, not as a couch.
John F. Kennedy
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Steve Jobs
I think it's fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we've ever created. They're tools of communication, they're tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user.
Bill Gates
By and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth.
George Carlin
I'm a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other, and how they can achieve the kind of freedoms that they're interested in.
Bill Gates
Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver.
Ayn Rand
I have owed you this letter for a very long time-but my fingers have avoided the pencil as though it were an old and poisoned tool.
John Steinbeck
Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.
Bill Gates
It has not been for nothing that the word has remained man's principal toy and tool: without the meanings and values it sustains, all man's other tools would be worthless.
Lewis Mumford
Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live.
Robert Kennedy
