Obvious Quotes

Quotations
Quote of the Day

Everything you've learned in school as 'obvious' becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines.
View quotes by R Buckminster Fuller

Women have a wonderful instinct about things. They can discover everything but the obvious.
View quotes by Oscar Wilde

I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives.
View quotes by Tolstoy

'I dress sexily - but not in an obvious way. Sexy in a virginal way.'
View quotes by Victoria Beckham

'God made a very obvious choice when he made me voluptuous; why would I go against what he decided for me? My limbs work, so I'm not going to complain about the way my body is shaped.'
View quotes by Drew Barrymore

Some people are aware of another sort of thinking which... leads to those simple ideas that are obvious only after they have been thought of... the term 'lateral thinking' has been coined to describe this orther sort of thinking; 'vertical thinking' is used to denote the conventional logical process. (The Use of Lateral Thinking 1967)
View quotes by Edward De Bono

Misquotation is, in fact, the pride and privilege of the learned. A widely-read man never quotes accurately, for the rather obvious reason that he has read too widely.
View quotes by Hesketh Pearson

It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety.
View quotes by Isaac Asimov

The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious.
View quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Passion is the evil in adultery. If a man has no opportunity of living with another man's wife, but if it is obvious for some reason that he would like to do so, and would do so if he could, he is no less guilty than if he was caught in the act.
View quotes by Saint Augustine

No people require maxims so much as the American. The reason is obvious: the country is so vast, the people always going somewhere, from Oregon apple valley to boreal New England, that we do not know whether to be temperate orchards or sterile climate.
View quotes by Edward Dahlberg

They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice... that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.
View quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.
View quotes by Kahlil Gibran

The most important things to say are those which often I did not think necessary for me to say - because they were too obvious.
View quotes by André Gide

Jim Bakker spells his name with two k's because three would be too obvious.

View quotes by Bill Maher

A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties.
View quotes by Karl Marx

The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.
View quotes by Ed Murrow

I really think happiness is very closely aligned with success, and may almost be an interchangeable synonym. Happiness (like success) also comes from doing what we feel called to do in life; however, it's also obvious no one can experience one without the other.

View quotes by Donna Fargo

Several of the actors I've had the good fortune of working with stand out in my mind as 'ultimate'. I guess the obvious would be Tom Hanks, because he really is as fun and as genuine as he comes across in his films and interviews.
View quotes by Barry Pepper

Nothing can be more obvious than that all animals were created solely and exclusively for the use of man.
View quotes by Thomas Love Peacock
