Our job in this lifetime is not to shape ourselves into some ideal we imagine we ought to be, but to find out who we already are and become it.
Steven Pressfield
Image
Whatever character our theology may ascribe to him, in reality God is the infinite ideal of Man, towards whom men move in their collective growth, with whom they seek their union of love as individuals, in whom they find their ideal of father, friend and beloved.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Because the free market system is so weak politically, the forms of capitalism that are experienced in many countries are very far from the ideal. They are a corrupted version, in which powerful interests prevent competition from playing its natural, healthy role.
Raghuram Rajan
Image
I think some modesty actually serves me by just accepting that I am an instrument. I'm not trying to match up to an ideal as some kind of challenge. It's more like I use the family tree of music and song that I feel has fit me as an encouragement like it's a bed to rest in rather than a challenge to try to better myself over, to try to.
Mirah
Image
That which an age considers evil is usually an unseasonable echo of what was formerly considered good - the atavism of an old ideal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
For boys, Wonder Woman is a frightening image. For girls she is a morbid ideal. Where Batman is anti-feminine, the attractive Wonder Woman and her counterparts are definitely anti-masculine.
Fredric Wertham
Image
I would define morality as enlightened self-interest...That old Platonic ideal that there are certain pure moral forms just isn't where we are.
Andrew Young
Image
To live and let live, without clamor for distinction or recognition to wait on divine love to write truth first on the tablet of one's own heart - this is the sanity and perfection of living, and my human ideal.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
The aim of medicine is to prevent disease and prolong life, the ideal of medicine is to eliminate the need of a physician.
William James Mayo

We cannot set up, out of our heads, something we regard as an ideal society.
John Dewey
Image
The ideal is to live forever, right? Or to live right now and just be grateful that I feel good. I'm definitely grateful for every second that I'm alive. At this point in my life, I definitely take time out throughout the day to just stop and be like, Everything is cool. It's as good as it's gonna be, because it only gets worse.
Ariel Pink
Image
If you have not even a little imagination, you are simply a brute. So you must not lower your ideal, neither are you to lose sight of practicality. We must avoid the two extremes.... You must try to combine in your life immense idealism with immense practicality.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Doesn't it seem to you, asked Madame Bovary, that the mind moves more freely in the presence of that boundless expanse, that the sight of it elevates the soul and gives rise to thoughts of the infinite and the ideal?
Gustave Flaubert
Image
I believe in freedom, I'm for a world without borders. But that's an ideal. On a practical level, I'm for a secular state where religion only plays a minor role.
Shahin Najafi
Image
Sadly, man recognises that the ideal, submissive woman he has created for himself is somehow not quite what he wanted.

Image
It is freely admitted that this testing is far from ideal and could even be described as anecdotal.
Eric Gill
Image

Narendra Modi
Image
Religions are the exponents of the highest comprehension of life... within a given age in a given society... a basis for evaluating human sentiments. If feelings bring people nearer to the religion's ideal... they are good if these estrange them from it, and oppose it, they are bad.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
My ideal travel companions are my family.
Pharrell Williams
Image
I think we need to just be very clear about what we're trying to do in Afghanistan. Frankly, we're not trying to create the perfect democracy. We're never going to create some ideal society. We are simply there for our own national security.
David Cameron
Image
In one sense it is evident that the art of kingship does include the art of lawmaking. But the political ideal is not full authority for laws but rather full authority for a man who understands the art of kingship and has kingly ability.
Plato
Image
Make the man within your living ideal.
Karl G. Maeser
Image
In writing for movies, you obviously want to resolve things and have a sense of completion at the end - in an ideal way.
Mitch Glazer
Image
The success of any legal system is measured by its fidelity to the universal ideal of justice.
