Russell Means
Image
But whoever gives birth to useless children, what would you say of him except that he has bred sorrows for himself, and furnishes laughter for his enemies.
Sophocles
Image
Certainly it's nice to have historic moments like this but eventually somebody will break this record. We're aiming for the end result, otherwise the rest is useless.
Fabio Capello
Image
It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.
Jonathan Swift
Image
Tribe follows tribe, nations follow nations like the tides of the sea. It is the order of nature, and regret is useless.

The important graphs are the ones where some things are not connected to some other things. When the unenlightened ones try to be profound, they draw endless verbal comparisons between this topic, and that topic, which is like this, which is like that until their graph is fully connected and also totally useless.
Eliezer Yudkowsky

There's something to be said for useless days. You know, those days when you have nothing to do and all day to do it ... Trust me, a beach and a bottomless drink may not cure the world's problems but it can really get your head in the right place. Those are my favorite kind of days.
Kenny Chesney

Denounce useless guilt. Don’t make a cult of suffering. Live in the now(or at least the soon). Always do the things you fear most. Courage is an acquired taste like caviar. Trust all joy. If the evil eye fixes you in its gaze, look elsewhere. Get ready to be 87.
Erica Jong

Every industrious man, in every lawful calling, is a useful man. And one principal reason why men are so often useless is that they neglect their own profession or calling, and divide and shift their attention among a multiplicity of objects and pursuits.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot become manifest, strength cannot be exerted, wealth is useless, and reason is powerless.
Herophilos
Image
The simplest case, where one is informed that a cat is black because it is black, may be harmless, though irritating and useless but the actual cases [in statements of evolutionary theory] are always harder to detect than this, and may darken counsel for a long time.
Norman Macbeth
Image
High descent and meritorious deeds, unless united to wealth, are as useless as seaweed.
Horace
Image
Worshipping God is the great essential of fitness. If you have not been worshipping...when you get to work you will not only be useless yourself, but a tremendous hindrance to those who are associated with you.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is assumed that anyone who makes a million dollars has a unique gift, though he might have made it off some useless gadget.
William Faulkner
Image
Even the wisest counsel is useless when it is unheeded.
Francine Mathews
Image
Very often the effort men put into activities that seem completely useless turns out to be extremely important in ways no one could foresee. Play has always been the mainspring of culture.
Italo Calvino
Image
Not often, but every once in a while, God brings us to a major turning point — a great crossroads in our life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The nuclear bomb is the most useless weapon ever invented. It can be employed to no rational purpose. It is not even an effective defense against itself.
George F. Kennan
Image
Stories are the only thing that I can be bothered with. Its the only way that I can do anything, even if Im quite useless. Its the only area in being human where I could be a little useful.
Alice Englert
Image
Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.
