Affairs, ... , like everything else, ask too much.
John Updike
Image
Affairs can be powerful detonators. They can invigorate a marriage that's flat, jolt people out of years of complacency. Fear of loss rekindles desire, makes people have conversations they haven't had in years, takes them out of their contrived illusion of safety.
Esther Perel
Image
Affairs that depend on many rarely succeed.
Francesco Guicciardini
Image
Affairs are loaded with romanticism, morality, mythology, and intense emotions. They're not really about sex, but about pain and fear and the desire to feel alive. They're also about betrayal.
Emily Browning
Image
Affairs are just as disillusioning as marriage, and much less restful.
Mignon McLaughlin
Image
Affairs are easier of entrance than of exit and it is but common prudence to see our way out before we venture in.
Aesop
Image
Affairs of state tend to drive most presidents toward the center on both foreign and domestic policy, no matter where on the political spectrum they begin, and especially so in the areas of intelligence and law enforcement.
David K. Shipler
Image
In human affairs every solution serves only to sharpen the problem, to show us more clearly what we are up against. There are no final solutions.
Eric Hoffer
Image
I doubt very much if a man whose main literary interests were in works by Mr. Zane Grey, admirable as they may be, is particularly equipped to be the chief executive of this country, particularly where Indian Affairs are concerned.
Dean Acheson
Image
Most of the famous love affairs of literature or film were quite short. What was Romeo & Juliet? How long were they together? A few days.
Jesse Harris
Image
To make of human affairs a coherent, precise, predictable whole one must ignore or suppress man as he really is. It is by eliminating man from their equation that the makers of history can predict the future, and the writers of history can give a pattern to the past.
Eric Hoffer
Image
If U.S. national sovereignty continues, it is only as a state that Puerto Rico will have permanent 10th Amendment powers over its non-federal affairs, as well as voting power in Congress.
Dick Thornburgh
Image
The rest of the world cares about how we conduct our affairs because they then take that lead. Were the only leader in the world today. Some are wishing us well, others think that were down and are not going to get back up again, but they are all watching with great interest to see how we conduct our business over the next couple of years.
Jon Huntsman, Jr.
Image
You killed my dog! Get your affairs in order.
Jim Butcher
Image
Failure in the management of practical affairs seems to be a qualification for success in the management of public affairs.
Eric Hoffer
Image
All those fake news having nothing beneath and having no evidence, were nothing else but slander. And that's why we'll continue to suggest to everyone insisting that Russia was interfering in this or that way into domestic affairs of the United States, we will suggest them to read Mr. Putin's lips.
Dmitry Peskov
Image
When people get married because they think it's a long-time love affair, they'll be divorced very soon, because all love affairs end in disappointment. But marriage is a recognition of a spiritual identity.
Joseph Campbell
Image
No matter where you go in the world in any country in Africa or Latin America and other place, you will find that China is very deeply involved in the affairs of that country.
Jimmy Carter
Image
Actually, if you take the average American, and studies have shown that, he is really concerned only with private affairs that is to say, with his health, his money and family affairs.
Erich Fromm
Image
My every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs will be made to benefit American workers and American families.
Donald Trump
Image
In that the wisdom of the few becomes available to the many, there is progress in human affairs without it, the static routine of tradition continues.
Joseph Jastrow
Image
I believe at its core we have a Constitution, as our Supreme Court's first great justice, Marshall, said in 1819, and I quote, intended to endure for the ages to come and consequently to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs.
Joe Biden
Image
Foreign policy isn't something that is great and big, it's common sense and humanity as it applies to my affairs and yours.
Ernest Bevin
Image
When I am idle and shiftless, my affairs become confused when I work, I get results ... not great results, but enough to encourage me.
E. W. Howe
