When we cross the gates of death, our karma is all we take with us. Everything else that we enjoyed in this life we leave behind...

I learned how to be a learner. When you get in a job, the tendency is to say, 'I've got to know it. I've got to give direction to others. I'm in this job because I'm better and smarter.' I always took a different view, that the key was to identify the people who really knew and learn from them.

The span of a man is three score and 10, or thereabouts. As most Americans are not especially keen on availing themselves of the lessons contained in 6,000 years of recorded history, we have a tendency to believe that the current status quo is pretty much how the world has been and how it will always be.

Morality is the tendency to pour out the baby with the bathwater.

The tendency of organization is to kill out the spirit which gave it birth. Organizations do not protect the sacredness of the individual their tendency is to sink the individual in the mass, to sacrifice his rights, and to immolate him on the altar of some fancied good.

When we, for example, see shifts of huge production lines from certain areas to other countries, people tend to ask the question, Where's my place in this modern world? We have this here, this tendency in our country, we have it in other countries.

Everyone prefers some foods over others, but some adults take this tendency to an extreme. These people tend to prefer the kinds of bland food they may have enjoyed as children - such as plain or buttered pasta, macaroni and cheese, cheese pizza, French fries and grilled cheese sandwiches - and to restrict their eating to just a few dishes.

Anatole Broyard

Great emotion always tends to become rhythmic, and out of that tendency the forms of art have been evolved. Art becomes artificial only when the forms take precedence over the emotion.
Amy Lowell

My tendency is to want to say to the person, Do you understand why I feel this way? I usually do say that. And sometimes it doesn't go well. By this I mean we hit an impasse again. Not that I need to hear exactly what I want to hear, but I need to know I am heard. Those moments make for a better friendship. But I can't let it go. For good or b
