An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.
Buddha

All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.
Buddha

Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.
Albert Einstein

If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists - to protect them and to promote their common welfare - all else is lost.
Barack Obama

Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
Ronald Reagan

There is an orderliness in the universe, there is an unalterable law governing everything and every being that exists or lives. It is no blind law; for no blind law can govern the conduct of living beings.
Mohandas Gandhi

I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?
John Lennon

True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.
Socrates

Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.
Pablo Picasso

No doubt exists that all women are crazy; it's only a question of degree.
W. C. Fields

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.
Lao Tzu

If there exists no possibility of failure, then victory is meaningless.
Robert H. Schuller

Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.
Coco Chanel

Society exists only as a mental concept; in the real world there are only individuals.
Oscar Wilde

When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.
John Adams

I say that democracy can never prove itself beyond cavil, until it founds and luxuriantly grows its own forms of art, poems, schools, theology, displacing all that exists, or that has been produced anywhere in the past, under opposite influences.
Walt Whitman

The only things in my life that compatibly exists with this grand universe are the creative works of the human spirit.
Ansel Adams

Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.
Leo Tolstoy

The world embarrasses me, and I cannot dream that this watch exists and has no watchmaker.
Voltaire

Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.
Earl Nightingale
