Quotes by Hands

Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left. That is to say, you cannot love game and hate predators; you cannot conserve the waters and waste the ranges; you cannot build the forest and mine the farm. The land is one organism.

Aldo Leopold
hate nature hands

We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. [...] By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies - all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable.

Aldous Huxley
solitude feelings hands

Consider the problem of over-population. Rapidly mounting human numbers are pressing ever more heavily on natural resources. What is to be

Aldous Huxley

A poor degenerate from the ape, Whose hands are four, whose tail's a limb, I contemplate my flaccid shape And know I may not rival him Save with my mind.

Aldous Huxley

A person who is keen to shake your hand usually has something up... by Alec Guinness

A person who is keen to shake your hand usually has something up his sleeve.

Alec Guinness
sleeves motive hands

Organised brigandage has ceased to exist, but murder and highway robbery are still far too common in the less frequented districts. Travellers rarely suffer to-day, however. It is the wealthy inhabitants who run risks at the hand of the mafia, or lawless Sicilian.

Alec-Tweedie
risk running hands

It is the thing that is most remote from the world in which we ourselves live that attracts us most. We are under the spell of what is distant from us. It is not our nature to desire passionately what is near at hand.

Alec Waugh

The two seem, at first glance, to be opposed, but when you have advanced a little in both, you find that concentration learned in Yoga is of immense use in attaining the mental powers necessary in Magick; on the other hand, the discipline of Magick is of the greatest service in Yoga.

Aleister Crowley
yoga two hands

To knot a sentence up properly, it has to be thought out carefully, and revised. New phrases have to be put in; sudden changes of subject must be introducted; verbs must be shifted to unsuspected localities; short words must be excised with ruthless hand; archaisms must be sprinkled like sugar-plums upon the concoction; the fatal human tendency to say things straightforwardly must be detected and defeated by adroit reversals; and, if a glimmer of meaning yet remain under close scrutiny, it must be removed by replacing all the principal verbs by paraphrases in some dead language.

Aleister Crowley

Time does nothing but hand you down shabbier and older things. by Aleksandar Hemon

Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cr... by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
unlimited hands people

It makes me happier, more secure, to think that I do not have to plan and manage everything for myself, that I am only a sword made sharp to smite the unclean forces, an enchanted sword to cleave and disperse them. Grant, O Lord, that I may not break as I strike! Let me not fall from Thy hand!

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
hands fall thinking

[He] understood the people in a new way...The people is not everyone who speaks our language, nor yet the elect marked by the fiery stamp of genius. Not by birth, not by the work of one's hands, not by the wings of education is one elected into the people. But by one's inner self. Everyone forges his inner self year after year. One must try to temper, to cut, to polish one's soul so as to become a human being. And thereby become a tiny particle of one's own people.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
cutting self hands

To his and everybody else's way of thinking, you should build a house with your own hands before you start talking about being an engineer.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Sometimes in football you have to hold your hand up and say, yeah... by Alex Ferguson

Sometimes in football you have to hold your hand up and say, yeah, they're better than us.

Once you shake hands with the devil, you have to accept they are... by Alex Ferguson

Once you shake hands with the devil, you have to accept they are in control.

Alex Ferguson
devil accepting hands

Nothing is easy, and life can be extremely tough, but there's always a yin to the yang, so to speak. It's up to you to seek it out, embrace it, and live happily ever after. No matter how bad the hand you've been dealt may seem, there's always a way to play it.

Alex Gaskarth
up-to-you play hands

As the power of governments wanes, corporations become ever more powerful. Sometimes they do things that aren't so good. We should pay attention. Steve Jobs was saying, "Don't pay attention to all that stuff. Pay attention to the product you've got in your hand."

Alex Gibney
pay attention hands

What made so many people so upset when Steve Jobs died was that he was a kind of combination of daddy - in this relationship between the machine and ourselves - and also he was our guide. He was the one who led us to look into the mirror. He created these devices that became extensions of ourselves. Suddenly, he wasn't going to hold our hand as we went from product to product, which became increasingly about who we were.
