Our kingdom go is the necessary and unavoidable corollary of 'Thy kingdom come.' For the more there is self, the less there is of God. The divine eternal fulness of life can be gained only by those who have deliberately lost the partial, separative life of craving and self-interest, of egocentric thinking, feeling, wishing, and acting.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I would say in just about every investigation we have, there will be differences of opinion, where you have partial facts, as to what those facts mean.
Robert Mueller
Image
Reality is partial to symmetry and slight anachronisms
Jorge Luis Borges
Image
We’re partial to putting out large amounts of money where we won’t have to make another decision.
Charlie Munger
Image
The poet exposes himself to the risk. All that has been said about poetry, all that he has learned about poetry, is only a partial assurance.
A. R. Ammons
Image
There is no effective difference between guessing a variable that is not random, but for which information is partial or deficient, and a random one. In this sense, guessing (what I don't know, but what someone else may know) and predicting (what has not taken place yet) are the same thing.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Image
Partial truths or half-truths are often more insidious than total falsehoods.
Samuel P. Huntington
Image
There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man's title to fame.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Good evening and welcome to Have I Got News for You, the show that's done for Friday and Saturday nights what ten pints of lager does for Sunday mornings, although I wouldn't know, being more partial to cocaine personally. Allegedly.
Angus Deayton
Image
Knowing what is big and what is small is more important than being able to solve partial differential equations.
Stanislaw Ulam
Image
Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,--and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial they are notequal to the work they pretend. They lose their way in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
No punishment for women who have partial birth abortions.
Mitt Romney
Image
I've always been partial to comedy. I love the idea of working on a comedic scene.
Matthew Lewis
Image
Truth is a totality, the sum of many overlapping partial images. History, on the other hand, sacrifices totality in the interest of continuity.
Edmund Leach
Image
Our theories are wedged and controlled as nothing else is. Yet sometimes alternative theoretic formulas are equally compatible with all the truths we know, and then we choose between them for subjective reasons. We choose the kind of theory to which we are already partial: we follow 'elegenace' or 'economy'
William James
Image
Yesterday's partial obedience creates staggering consequences in today's experiences.
Priscilla Shirer
Image
If ... we choose a group of social phenomena with no antecedent knowledge of the causation or absence of causation among them, then the calculation of correlation coefficients, total or partial, will not advance us a step toward evaluating the importance of the causes at work.
Ronald Fisher
Image
I don't want to be either partial or impartial.
Frank McLintock
Image
I feel the need to chastise myself. A movie that's a partial musical, full-on melodrama, should require a tremendous amount of planning.
Guy Maddin
Image
Don't get involved in partial problems, but always take flight to where there is a free view over the whole single great problem, even if this view is still not a clear one.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Image
In 2014, impunity in journalism murder cases reached a staggering 96 percent and the remaining 4 percent obtained only partial justice, we have become targets. Insurgent groups no longer use reporters to transmit news, but instead kidnap them to make news. They treat us as enemy combatants and spies. This is our everyday reality.
Mariane Pearl
Image
To deal with the true causes of war one must begin by recognizing as of prime relevancy to the solution of the problem the familiar fact that civilization is a partial, incomplete, and, to a great extent, superficial modification of barbarism.
Elihu Root
Image
Life is rapid, art is slow, occasion coy, practice fallacious, and judgment partial.
Henry Fuseli
Image
Science, for me, gives a partial explanation for life. In so far as it goes, it is based on fact, experience and experiment.
