Conflict cannot survive without your participation.
172

We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once.

182

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

221
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.
222
Freedom and justice cannot be parceled out in pieces to suit political convenience. I don’t believe you can stand for freedom for one group of people and deny it to others.
223
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.
224
You cannot feed the hungry on statistics.
225
I really do not know. I really do not know how to solve the problem of the Philippines. I cannot be the savior of this republic.
226
Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.
227
The masses go into a revolution not with a prepared plan of social reconstruction, but with a sharp feeling that they cannot endure the old regime. Only the guiding layers of a class have a political program, and even this still requires the test of events and the approval of the masses.
228
I cannot discover that anyone knows enough to say definitely what is and what is not possible.
229
Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of time, or place, or circumstances, are brought into closer connection with you.
230
We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain.
231
Political democracy cannot last unless there lies at the base of it social democracy. What does social democracy mean? It means a way of life which recognizes liberty, equality and fraternity as the principles of life.
232
A person who can write a long letter with ease, cannot write ill.
233
You can be committed to Church but not committed to Christ, but you cannot be committed to Christ and not committed to church.

Lucio Tan
235
You cannot eat a cluster of grapes at once, but it is very easy if you eat them one by one.
Jacques Roumain
236
We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity. We cannot remain looking inwards at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet.
237
An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.
238
Movies are so rarely great art that if we cannot appreciate great trash we have very little reason to be interested in them.
Pauline Kael
239
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.
240
You cannot be lonely if you like the person you’re alone with.
241
The microbe is so very small: You cannot take him out at all.
Hilaire Belloc
242
Unless we remember we cannot understand.
243
Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
244
As to the Constitution and the Union, I have taken an oath to support the one, and I cannot do so without preserving the other, unless I commit perjury, which I certainly don’t intend to do. We must cherish the Constitution to the last.
245
I have nothing to ask but that you would remove to the other side, that you may not, by intercepting the sunshine, take from me what you cannot give.
Diogenes
246
I cannot believe there is caste system in society; I cannot believe people are judged on the basis of their prosperity.
247
There cannot live a more unhappy creature than an ill-natured old man, who is neither capable of receiving pleasures, nor sensible of conferring them on others.
248
Work, apart from devotion or love of God, is helpless and cannot stand alone.

Designs of purely arbitrary nature cannot be expected to last long.
Kenzo Tange
250
How can any one paint who cannot grade colors? How can any one write poetry who has not learnt to hear and see?
251
Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled.
252
When a law is in its nature a contract, when absolute rights have vested under that contract, a repeal of the law cannot divest those rights.
253
The Queen is most anxious to enlist everyone in checking this mad, wicked folly of ‘Women’s Rights’. It is a subject which makes the Queen so furious that she cannot contain herself.
Queen Victoria
254
It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.
255
That which is not good for the bee-hive cannot be good for the bees.
256
In a position of utter desolation, when man cannot express himself in positive action, when his only achievement may consist in enduring his sufferings in the right way – an honorable way – in such a position man can, through loving contemplation of the image he carries of his beloved, achieve fulfillment.
257
He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars.
258
Earth is the cradle of humanity, but one cannot remain in the cradle forever.
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky
259

Almost all absurdity of conduct arises from the imitation of those who we cannot resemble.
263
We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
264
Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom.
265
You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify, educate and fulfill your own dreams and destiny, and hope that whatever your art is that you’re putting out there, if it’s received, great, I respect you for receiving it. If it’s not received, great, I respect you for not.
266
Pure love and suspicion cannot dwell together: at the door where the latter enters, the former makes its exit.
Alexandre Dumas
267
Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.
268
We are approaching a new age of synthesis. Knowledge cannot be merely a degree or a skill… it demands a broader vision, capabilities in critical thinking and logical deduction without which we cannot have constructive progress.
Li Ka-shing
269
Love is a state of Being. Your love is not outside; it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. It is not dependent on some other body, some external form.
270
A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.
271
I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.

273
We cannot be mere consumers of good governance, we must be participants; we must be co-creators.
274
The world cannot live without the Arctic; it affects every living thing on Earth and acts as a virtual thermostat, reflecting sunlight and cooling the planet.
275
Truth may be stretched, but cannot be broken, and always gets above falsehood, as does oil above water.
276
America makes prodigious mistakes, America has colossal faults, but one thing cannot be denied: America is always on the move. She may be going to Hell, of course, but at least she isn’t standing still.
e. e. cummings
277
A dark house is always an unhealthy house, always an ill-aired house, always a dirty house. Want of light stops growth and promotes scrofula, rickets, etc., among the children. People lose their health in a dark house, and if they get ill, they cannot get well again in it.
278
I cannot afford to waste my time making money.
Louis Agassiz
279
People cannot change their tidying habits without first changing their way of thinking.
280
A mind cannot be independent of culture.
Lev Vygotsky
281
Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.
282
Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.
283
I cannot emphasize enough the importance of a good teacher.
284
Beauty is the only thing that time cannot harm. Philosophies fall away like sand, creeds follow one another, but what is beautiful is a joy for all seasons, a possession for all eternity.
285
We cannot be kind to each other here for even an hour. We whisper, and hint, and chuckle and grin at our brother‘s shame; however you take it we men are a little breed.
286
I am still a victim of chess. It has all the beauty of art – and much more. It cannot be commercialized. Chess is much purer than art in its social position.
287
For all of its uncertainty, we cannot flee the future.
288
Patience is necessary, and one cannot reap immediately where one has sown.
289
It’s extremely instructive to realize that you cannot do everything. You need to delegate, to find experts, to consult with them. A big part of the job of directing is knowing when to take something on and when you shouldn’t.
290
A man cannot become an atheist merely by wishing it.
291
You cannot learn anything from success, you only learn from failure.
Jim Dale

Horace Mann
294
He has found his style, when he cannot do otherwise.
Paul Klee
295
No weapon has ever settled a moral problem. It can impose a solution but it cannot guarantee it to be a just one.
296
Lake Wobegon, the little town that time forgot and the decades cannot improve.
297
We cannot conceive of matter being formed of nothing, since things require a seed to start from… Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing, but all things return dissolved into their elements.
298
Religion fails if it cannot speak to men as they are.
William Barclay
299
The wonders of the Grand Canyon cannot be adequately represented in symbols of speech, nor by speech itself. The resources of the graphic art are taxed beyond their powers in attempting to portray its features. Language and illustration combined must fail.
John Wesley Powell
300
It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.
301
Money is like a sixth sense without which you cannot make a complete use of the other five.
302
Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm.
303
If you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this mountain and goes out to meet it, that the struggle is the struggle of life itself upward and forever upward, then you won’t see why we go.
304
What I cannot love, I overlook. Is that real friendship?
305
No matter how much we try to run away from this thirst for the answer to life, for the meaning of life, the intensity only gets stronger and stronger. We cannot escape these spiritual hungers.
306
The principle of self-government cannot be violated with impunity. The individual’s right to it is sacred – regardless of class, caste, race, color, sex or any other accident or incident of birth.
307
There is something feeble and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths.
308
To attempt seeing Truth without knowing Falsehood. It is the attempt to see the Light without knowing the Darkness. It cannot be.
309
One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few.
310
Most men today cannot conceive of a freedom that does not involve somebody’s slavery.
311
The intelligent ruler does not value people who are of themselves good without rewards and punishments. Why is that? The laws of the state cannot be neglected, and it is not one man who is being ruled.
312
You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.
313
A public figure cannot control what people say in open meetings.
Jim Bridenstine
314
Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be true.
315
Our scientific age demands that we provide definitions, measurements, and statistics in order to be taken seriously. Yet most of the important things in life cannot be precisely defined or measured. Can we define or measure love, beauty, friendship, or decency, for example?
316
We are searching for some kind of harmony between two intangibles: a form which we have not yet designed and a context which we cannot properly describe.
317
Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.
318
You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming.
Pablo Neruda
319
I have tried to lift France out of the mud. But she will return to her errors and vomitings. I cannot prevent the French from being French.
320
Providence has its appointed hour for everything. We cannot command results, we can only strive.
321
You watch enough TV, and very soon the inside of your head has become a vast, arid plain, across which you cannot detect the passage of a thought.
322
We cannot stop the winter or the summer from coming. We cannot stop the spring or the fall or make them other than they are. They are gifts from the universe that we cannot refuse. But we can choose what we will contribute to life when each arrives.
323
Editing cannot be taught. Developing your own taste cannot be taught.
Ellen Datlow
324
I’m just going to write because I cannot help it.
325
When we are sure that we are on the right road there is no need to plan our journey too far ahead. No need to burden ourselves with doubts and fears as to the obstacles that may bar our progress. We cannot take more than one step at a time.
326
Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.
327
That which is inhuman cannot be divine.

I am a great fan of science, but I cannot do a quadratic equation.
331
Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot.
332
Capitalism knows only one color: that color is green; all else is necessarily subservient to it, hence, race, gender and ethnicity cannot be considered within it.
333
Capitalism is at least tolerable, which cannot be said of Socialism or Communism.
334
You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.
335
Perseverance is more prevailing than violence; and many things which cannot be overcome when they are together, yield themselves up when taken little by little.
336
Money cannot buy peace of mind. It cannot heal ruptured relationships, or build meaning into a life that has none.
337
You can accomplish by kindness what you cannot by force.
338
I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure – which is: Try to please everybody.
Herbert Bayard Swope
339
Will power is only the tensile strength of one’s own disposition. One cannot increase it by a single ounce.
Cesare Pavese
340
Ministry is the least important thing. You cannot not minister if you are in communion with God and live in community.
341
Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives.
342
Any fool can destroy trees. They cannot run away; and if they could, they would still be destroyed – chased and hunted down as long as fun or a dollar could be got out of their bark hides, branching horns, or magnificent bole backbones.
343
Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are.
Arthur Golden
344
You cannot have the same kind of character again and again in every season or every stage of your life. You change, people change.
345
If Christ has died for me, ungodly as I am, without strength as I am, then I cannot live in sin any longer, but must arouse myself to love and serve Him who has redeemed me.
346
Logic must look after itself. In a certain sense, we cannot make mistakes in logic.
347
Nothing is so unbelievable that oratory cannot make it acceptable.
348
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
349
Concern should drive us into action and not into a depression. No man is free who cannot control himself.
Pythagoras
350
Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance.
351
God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
352
Try to make at least one person happy every day. If you cannot do a kind deed, speak a kind word. If you cannot speak a kind word, think a kind thought. Count up, if you can, the treasure of happiness that you would dispense in a week, in a year, in a lifetime!
Lawrence G. Lovasik
353
To Edward, I cannot be a traitor, for I owe him no allegiance; he is not my sovereign; he never received my homage; and whilst life is in this persecuted body, he shall never receive it.
354
One can resist the invasion of an army but one cannot resist the invasion of ideas.
355
We may give without loving, but we cannot love without giving.
Bernard Meltzer

Ben Sweetland
357
If I’m not in love, if I’m not with a long-term companion, I cannot be happy.
358
In football, the worst things are excuses. Excuses mean you cannot grow or move forward.
359
The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.
360
You can be taught so much, but the sense of anticipation cannot be taught.
361
You parents of the wilful and the wayward! Don’t give them up. Don’t cast them off. They are not utterly lost. The Shepherd will find his sheep. They were His before they were yours – long before He entrusted them to your care; and you cannot begin to love them as He loves them.
Orson F. Whitney
362
Women cannot complain about men anymore until they start getting better taste in them.

Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith.
368
He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.

One cannot conceive anything so strange and so implausible that it has not already been said by one philosopher or another.
Rene Descartes
371
You cannot fight against the future. Time is on our side.

Pain can be alleviated by morphine but the pain of social ostracism cannot be taken away.
Derek Jarman
373
Oprah‘s got good politics, she’s got a good heart, and she’ll have us all up Jazzercising at six in the morning. This cannot be a bad thing, and reading a book while we’re Jazzercising. So America would be better off if Oprah were president.
374
A writer may tell me that he thinks man will ultimately become an ostrich. I cannot properly contradict him.
375
If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe.

Yet habit – strange thing! what cannot habit accomplish?
385
The word is a force you cannot see, but you can see the manifestation of that force, the expression of the word, which is your own life.
386
A hustler has to deal with danger and risk. It’s part of the game. You cannot control it all, nor would you want to. Chaos, unknown factors are not something to be anxious about.
387
You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.
388
You cannot be a winner without maturity and consistency.
389
I believe that you see something that you want to get done, you cannot give up, and you cannot give in.
390
Bad company is like a nail driven into a post, which, after the first and second blow, may be drawn out with little difficulty; but being once driven up to the head, the pincers cannot take hold to draw it out, but which can only be done by the destruction of the wood.
391
I cannot possibly conceive of my planet Earth as the centre of a three-tiered universe. I know rather that the sun, around which my planet Earth revolves, is a middle sized star in a galaxy called the Milky Way that has over a hundred billion other suns or stars within it.
392
He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious.
393
What you know today can affect what you do tomorrow. But what you know today cannot affect what you did yesterday.
394
Some men have thousands of reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one reason why they can.
395
Note, besides, that it is no more immoral to directly rob citizens than to slip indirect taxes into the price of goods that they cannot do without.
396
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
397
Physical comforts cannot subdue mental suffering, and if we look closely, we can see that those who have many possessions are not necessarily happy. In fact, being wealthy often brings even more anxiety.
398
To experience sublime natural beauty is to confront the total inadequacy of language to describe what you see. Words cannot convey the scale of a view that is so stunning it is felt.
399
This world is full of conflicts and full of things that cannot be reconciled. But there are moments when we can… reconcile and embrace the whole mess, and that’s what I mean by ‘Hallelujah.’
400
I believe this government cannot endure permanently, half slave and half free.
401
A weak mind is like a microscope, which magnifies trifling things, but cannot receive great ones.
402
You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.
403
We cannot always control our thoughts, but we can control our words, and repetition impresses the subconscious, and we are then master of the situation.
404
If you don’t have solid beliefs you cannot build a stable life. Beliefs are like the foundation of a building, and they are the foundation to build your life upon.
Alfred A. Montapert
405
Nature cannot be tricked or cheated. She will give up to you the object of your struggles only after you have paid her price.
406
Man is never always happy, and very often only a brief period of happiness is granted him in this world; so why escape from this dream which cannot last long?
Frederic Chopin
407
As the world becomes a more digital place, we cannot forget about the human connection.
408
Capacity never lacks opportunity. It cannot remain undiscovered because it is sought by too many anxious to use it.
Jacqueline Cochran
409
You cannot simply put something new into a place. You have to absorb what you see around you, what exists on the land, and then use that knowledge along with contemporary thinking to interpret what you see.
410
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.
411
You must do the things you think you cannot do.
412
We cannot turn the clock back nor can we undo the harm caused, but we have the power to determine the future and to ensure that what happened never happens again.
413
Ah! Young people, travel if you can, and if you cannot – travel all the same!
414
If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.
415
People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.
416
Sometimes I was sad, sometimes happy. Just on and off. Always I felt welcome. It’s just, you know, sometimes as a human being, you cannot always be happy. You do good things, you do bad things, people talk.
417
You cannot achieve environmental security and human development without addressing the basic issues of health and nutrition.
418
One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.
419
Life cannot be without relationship, but we have made it so agonizing and hideous by basing it on personal and possessive love. Can one love and yet not possess? You will find the true answer not in escape, ideals, beliefs but through the understanding of the causes of dependence and possessiveness.
420
Time is something that cannot be bought; it cannot be wagered with God, and it is not in endless supply, Time is simply how you live your life.
421
People might think that my queen should be highly educated, beautiful and the best of the best. Jetsun Pema is a kind-hearted girl who is very supportive and whom I can trust. I cannot say how she might appear to the people, but to me, she is the one.
Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck
422
Let us take things as we find them: let us not attempt to distort them into what they are not… We cannot make facts. All our wishing cannot change them. We must use them.
423
The reconnection of society, economy and ethics is a project we cannot postpone.
424
In Einstein‘s equation, time is a river. It speeds up, meanders, and slows down. The new wrinkle is that it can have whirlpools and fork into two rivers. So, if the river of time can be bent into a pretzel, create whirlpools and fork into two rivers, then time travel cannot be ruled out.
425
Day and night cannot dwell together. The Red Man has ever fled the approach of the White Man, as the morning mist flees before the morning sun.
426
You cannot show people only the petals and not the thorns. It’s not fair to them.
427
You cannot separate the buildings out from the infrastructure of cites and the mobility of transit.
428
You know people talk about federal money as if it falls from heaven. You know we thank heaven for it, but it came out of people’s pockets – and I’ve driven all over Washington, D.C., I cannot find the money tree.
429
I cannot command winds and weather.
Horatio Nelson
430
The Public – a thing I cannot help looking upon as an enemy, and which I cannot address without feelings of hostility.
431
A vow is a purely religious act which cannot be taken in a fit of passion. It can be taken only with a mind purified and composed and with God as witness.
432
I would say it simply: No one can give that which he doesn’t personally possess, which means we cannot transmit the Holy Spirit in an effective way, render the Spirit perceptible, if we ourselves aren’t close to the Spirit.
433
Football is a game you cannot play without making mistakes.
434
I cannot walk through the suburbs in the solitude of the night without thinking that the night pleases us because it suppresses idle details, just as our memory does.
435
I can understand Tamil and Telugu when a conversation is aimed at me, but I cannot hold a conversation.
436
You cannot push any one up a ladder unless he be willing to climb a little himself.
437
If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?
438
God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.
439
I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let’s face it, friends make life a lot more fun.
440
Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.
441
The older you get, the more you realize you cannot win on the Internet.
442
A people cannot exist if there is no social solidarity.
443
The international community is pushing things forward in Bosnia… but it is doing it at expense of the Muslim people. I feel it as an injustice, these are the things that I cannot live with.
444
There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.
445
If you don’t see yourself as a winner, then you cannot perform as a winner.
446
The computer offers another kind of creativity. You cannot ignore the creativity that computer technology can bring. But you need to be able to move between those two different worlds.
447
As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.
448
The main foundations of every state, new states as well as ancient or composite ones, are good laws and good arms you cannot have good laws without good arms, and where there are good arms, good laws inevitably follow.
449
One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.

Systematic theologybe careful how you tie down the Word to fit your set and final creeds, systems, dogmas, and organized theistic philosophies! The Word of God is not bound! It’s free to say what it will to the individual, and no one can outline it into dispensations which cannot be broken.
