Precepts or maxims are of great weight and a few useful ones at hand do more toward a happy life than whole volumes that we know not where to find.
Seneca the Younger
Image
What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us.
Julia Cameron
Image
The smaller trips are useful in between the big trips: they help me gain new skills and experiences, they solve a perpetual case of cabin fever, and they are accommodating to an ambitious public speaking schedule and to some private guiding.
Andrew Skurka
Image
Politics has rough manners, but it is a very useful thing.
Bernard Crick

Image
While we're in the dream, these are useful notions.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The experience I gained at age 21 would be useful if I were ever 21 again. But I'm 71 and new at it and keep making age 71 mistakes.
Robert Breault
Image
I am not really inclined to think there is any very effective regulation of the derivative securities markets that would be useful. People who go into it essentially ought to know what risks they're taking and I don't see any useful regulation.
Kenneth Arrow
Image
It would seem that you have no useful skill or talent whatsoever he said. Have you thought of going into teaching?
Terry Pratchett
Image
Believing that a crisis is a useful thing to create, the Obama administration - which understands that, for liberalism, worse is better - has deliberately aggravated the fiscal shambles that the Great Recession accelerated.

Image
I don't think it's useful for somebody to argue with reviews.
Bob Woodward
Image
To be constant is to be useful. To be useful is to realize one's true nature. Realization of one's true nature is happiness. When one reaches happiness, one is close to perfection.
Zhuangzi
Image
This preservation of favourable variations and the destruction of injurious variations, I call Natural Selection, or the Survival of the Fittest. Variations neither useful nor injurious would not be affected by natural selection and would be left a fluctuating element.
Charles Darwin
Image
Innovation transforms the useful seeds of invention into widely adopted solutions valued above every existing alternative.
Braden Kelley
Image
Those with engineering skills will build tomorrow's genius computers. But those with the ability to create knowledge of any kind will be the ones who are best able to extract great value from them. The way to create value in the age of genius machines will be to compile and disseminate knowledge that other people will find useful.
Ray Kurzweil
Image
Nothing is more useful than silence.
Menander
Image
I envy no quality of the mind or intellect in others not genius, power, wit, nor fancy but, if I could choose what would be most delightful, and, I believe, most useful to me, I should prefer a firm religious belief to every other blessing.
Humphry Davy
Image
General, man is very useful. He can fly and he can kill. But he has one defect: He can think.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
Chance... in the accommodation peculiar to sensorimotor intelligence, plays the same role as in scientific discovery. It is only useful to the genius and its revelations remain meaningless to the unskilled.
Jean Piaget
Image
What I have said may serve to recommend mathematics for acquiring a vigorous constitution of mind for which purpose they are as useful as exercise is for procuring health and strength to the body.
John Arbuthnot
Image
Will Thisbee gave me The Beginner's Cook-Book for Girl Guides. It was just the thing the writer assumes you know nothing about cookery and writes useful hints - When adding eggs, break the shells first.
Mary Ann Shaffer
Image
Without history we are infants. Ask what binds the British Isles more closely to America than to Europe and only history gives a reply. Of all intellectual pursuits, history is the most supremely useful. That is why people crave it and need ever more of it.
Simon Jenkins
Image
I tell my girlfriends - 'Imagine if all the time you put into waxing and primping, you took all of that energy and put it into something useful.'
Isla Fisher
Image
That's the great danger of sectarian opinions, they always accept the formulas of past events as useful for the measurement of future events and they never are, if you have high standards of accuracy.
