Quotes:
One-tenth of the participants produce over one-third of the output. Increasing the number of participants merely reduces the average output.
View quotes by Norman Augustine
The principle of asceticism never was, nor ever can be, consistently pursued by any living creature. Let but one tenth part of the inhabitants of the earth pursue it consistently, and in a day's time they will have turned it into a Hell.
View quotes by Jeremy Bentham
Should all despair That have revolted wives, the tenth of mankind Would hang themselves (The Winter's Tale Act 1, Scene 2)
View quotes by William Shakespeare
This Submerged Tenth - is it, then, beyond the reach of the nine-tenths in the midst of whom they live? [In Darkest England]
View quotes by General William Booth
There is more credit and satisfaction in being a first-rate truck driver than a tenth-rate executive.
View quotes by B C Forbes
Not a tenth of us who are in business are doing as well as we could if we merely followed the principles that were known to our grandfathers
View quotes by William Feather
When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.
View quotes by Buddha
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans.
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.
View quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
In theory one is aware that the earth revolves, but in practice one does not perceive it, the ground upon which one treads seems not to move, and one can live undisturbed. So it is with Time in one's life.
View quotes by Marcel Proust
We have but one, and only hate,
We love as one, we hate as one,
We have one foe and one alone.
View quotes by Ernst Lissauer
If mankind minus one were of one opinion, then mankind is no more justified in silencing the one than the one - if he had the power - would be justified in silencing mankind.
View quotes by John Stuart Mill
There are so many things about which some old man ought to tell one while one is little; for when one is grown one would know them as a matter of course.
View quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them.
View quotes by Paul Gauguin
To think, when one is no longer young, when one is not yet old, that one is no longer young, that one is not yet old, that is perhaps something.
View quotes by Maxwell Maltz
Once in one's life, for one mortal moment, one must make a grab for immortality; if not, one has not lived.
View quotes by Sylvester Stallone
In the 66 years that I have been alive, there has not been one hour, of one day, of one month, of one year, when there has not been a threat aimed at us.
View quotes by Frederick Forsyth
Once in one's life, for one mortal moment, one must make a grab for immortality; if not, one has not lived.
View quotes by Sylvester Stallone
It seems that if one is working from the point of view of getting beauty in one's equations, and if one has really a sound insight, one is on a sure line of progress
View quotes by Paul Dirac
If one is master of one thing and understands one thing well, one has at the same time insight into and understanding of many things.
View quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
One should be willing to throw away a dozen ideas to come up with a good one, just as one should throw away a dozen words to come up with the right one. [did it take a dozen times to compose that thought?]
