The reason so few people are successful is no one has yet found a way for someone to sit down and slide uphill.
W. Clement Stone
Image
I wasn't exposed to art as I was growing up, and can't recall the first time I saw a work of art. However, I remember very clearly a vision I had of a little green reindeer when I was a child, and visions emanate from the same mythical area where painting resides. Whatever the reason, I immediately felt comfortable working with visual materials.
William S. Burroughs
Image
If we would guide by the light of reason we must let our minds be bold.
Louis D. Brandeis
Image
China and the U.S. have a very symbiotic relationship which will not decline any time soon. There are more shared interests as compared to shared differences and for this reason relations will continue to be good.
Mark Mobius
Image
There’s no reason to hold yourself back and say you can’t do something in life unless you go for it and try to do it.
Russell Westbrook
Image
The reason you're put in the CEO chair is because a company is facing these issues and you've been designated the person best to organize around them. I think that people are pretty energized around trying to figure this out.
Ken Moelis
Image
Embracing and rejecting tradition, bound and liberated by faith, torn between obscurantism and reason, self-assured and self-critical, they were a kaleidoscope of fragments, positions held and abandoned, images formed and shattered, God-fearing Jew, God-denying Jew, passionate and indifferent, hero and villain, yea-sayer, nay-sayer.
Israel Shenker
Image
There is a reason it used to be a crime in the Confederate states to teach a slave to read: Literacy is power.
Matt Taibbi
Image
When life caves in, you do not need reasons -- you need comfort. You do not need some answers -- you need someone. And Jesus does not come to us with an explanation -- He comes to us with His presence.
Bob Benson
Image
Ruby, give me one reason why we can’t be together, and I’ll give you a hundred why we can. We can go anywhere you want. I’m not your parents. I’m not going to abandon you or send you away, not ever.
Alexandra Bracken
Image
English grammar is so complex and confusing for the one very simple reason that its rules and terminology are based on Latin, a language with which it has precious little in common.
Bill Bryson
Image
I would uphold the law if for no other reason but to protect myself.
Thomas More
Image
One of the great reasons for the popularity of strikes is that they give the suppressed self a sense of power. For once the human tool knows itself a man, able to stand up and speak a word or strike a blow.
Charles Horton Cooley
Image
It really is amazing all the things she has done for us (him and his three siblings). It’s unrealistic, really, to see my mother do so much so right And that’s one of the reasons I love her so much. She has always been there.
Mike Bibby

The step that a lot of people miss is a dispassionate evaluation of the reasons [for rejection]. If you can dispassionately evaluate the reasons for rejection and find them with merit, you can address them if without merit, you can ignore them.
Brian Koppelman

One of the things about writing a novel is you can do it any way you want. It's your voice that's important and I see absolutely no reason why a screenplay can't be the same. It makes it a hell of a lot easier when you're the writer and the director.
Quentin Tarantino
Image
We can imagine a society in which no one could survive as a social being because it does not correspond to biologically determined perceptions and human social needs. For historical reasons, existing societies might have such properties, leading to various forms of pathology.
Noam Chomsky
Image
If everything in chemistry is explained in a satisfactory manner without the help of phlogiston, it is by that reason alone infinitely probable that the principle does not exist that it is a hypothetical body, a gratuitous supposition indeed, it is in the principles of good logic, not to multiply bodies without necessity.
Antoine Lavoisier
Image
The reason I am still sitting at Josef's kitchen table is the same reason traffic slows after a car wreck- you want to see the damage you can't let yourself pass without that mental snapshot. We are drawn to horror even as we recoil from it.
Jodi Picoult
Image
It is unbiblical and arrogant to try to worship God for any other reason than the pleasure to be had in Him.
John Piper
Image
Whenever we need to make a very important decision it is best to trust our instincts, because reason usually tries to remove us from our dream, saying that the time is not yet right. Reason is afraid of defeat, but intuition enjoys life and its challenges.
Paulo Coelho
Image
'3:10 to Yuma' was one that I just kept on talking and thinking about after reading it. And I think the reason is because, like in most Westerns, you have the very clear-cut bad-guy/good-guy, however, as the movie progresses, you kind of see that it's a very fine line that divides these two.
Christian Bale
Image
I think classic films are classic for a reason. It's always sketchy to redo one, especially if you're trying to make it contemporary. That's really just not the way to go.
Nia Long
Image
For faith, properly understood, does not contradict reason in the least indeed...it is nothing less than the will to keep one's mind fixed precisely on what reason has discovered to it.
