Every nation whose affairs betray a want of wisdom and stability may calculate on every loss which can be sustained from the more systematic policy of its wiser neighbors.
James Madison
Image
I think anything that requires real global breakthroughs requires a degree of intensity and sustained effort that cannot be done part time, so it's something you have to do around the clock, and that doesn't compute with our existing educational system.
Peter Thiel
Image
An important lever for sustained action in tackling poverty and reducing hunger is money.
Gro Harlem Brundtland
Image
These memories sustained him, but not so easily. Too often they reminded him of where he was when he last summoned them. They lay on the far side of a great divide in time, as significant as B.C. and A.D. Before prison, before the war, before the sight of a corpse became a banality.
Ian Mcewan
Image
The most brilliant qualities become useless when they are not sustained by force of character.
Louis-Philippe I of France
Image
I have a sustained interest in frippery. I can't refute the monster accusation, either. Some writers are awful on the page and kind in person. More often it's the other way around. I'd say I'm probably the same amount of asshole on the page as in life. I do try to be entertaining about it, however - in both places.
Hanya Yanagihara
Image
The family has a social function and so it should be sustained.
Rocco Buttiglione
Image
We are free, but not to be evil, not to be indifferent to human suffering, not to profit from the people, from the work created and sustained through their spirit of political association, while refusing to contribute to the political state that we profit from.
Jose Marti
Image
I am sustained by a sense of the worthwhileness of what I am doing a trust in the good faith of the process which created and sustains me. That process I call God.
Upton Sinclair
Image
Christian action in the world will not be sustained or carried on in an intelligent and effective manner unless it is supported by doctrinal convictions that have achieved some degree of clarity.
John Macquarrie
Image
It is too probable that no plan we propose will be adopted. Perhaps another dreadful conflict is to be sustained. If, to please the people, we offer what we ourselves disprove, how can we afterwards defend our work? Let us raise a standard to which the wise and the honest can repair. The event is in the hand of God.
George Washington
Image
I am frightened by the imbalance, the constant striving to reach the largest possible audience for everything by the absence of a sustained study of the state of the nation.
Edward R. Murrow
Image
The Moscow energy system has never sustained such a load.
Anatoly Chubais
Image
A banquet is probably the most fatiguing thing in the world except ditchdigging. It is the insanest of all recreations. The inventor of it overlooked no detail that could furnish weariness, distress, harassment, and acute and long-sustained misery of mind and body.
Mark Twain
Image
When the state of observation is sustained, it changes the quality of your biological structure. The nerves are steady, the chemical system has an equilibrium, and there is relaxation, equipoise. You live in the clarity of knowing who you are.
Vimala Thakar
Image
It seems fair to say that while the moral standards of the nineteenth century persisted almost unchanged into the twentieth, moral practices changed sharply, and that though the standards of the nineteenth century persisted the institutions that had sustained them and the sanctions that had enforced them lost influence and authority.
Henry Steele Commager
Image
Since love for our Creator cannot be sustained unless we love others for God's sake.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Opinion-sharing sessions are like junk food: they fill you up with starch and leave you feeling both sated and hungry. A sustained inquiry into the truth of a matter is an almost athletic experience it may exhaust you, but it also improves you.
Stanley Fish
Image
People don't want the truth. Everybody knows that heard what I said in that monologue about our culture's 'addiction to perfection' and how it started and where it's sustained - movies and television and so forth - knows that it's the truth.
Rush Limbaugh
Image
Character - in things great and small - is indicated when a man (or person) pursues with sustained follow-through what he feels himself capable of doing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
When communism failed, it wasn't a good idea that had gone wrong, it was a bad idea that had been sustained with incredible determination in the face of all the commonsense arguments, and at the cost of 20 million lives at least, in Russia, to build the socialist Utopia.
Martin Amis
Image
The last thing you want to do is go down in the history of All-Star game competition as the only injury (his nose was broken by Roberto Hernandez) sustained during the team picture.
Cal Ripken, Jr.
Image
Without mountains the air could not be purified, nor the flowing of the rivers sustained.
John Ruskin
Image
Look at the Afghans, during the time of the Soviet invasion. They were among the poorest Muslims in the world, yet they were sustained by their faith in God, and God alone.
