Blaise Pascal used to mark with charcoal the walls of his playroom, seeking a means of making a circle perfectly round and a triangle whose sides and angle were all equal. He discovered these things for himself and then began to seek the relationship which existed between them. He did not know any mathematical terms and so he made up his own. Using these names he made axioms and finally developed perfect demonstrations, until he had come to the thirty-second proposition of Euclid. – C. M. Cox	added by anonymous 13 years ago
Most of us think ourselves as standing wearily and helplessly at the center of a circle bristling with tasks, burdens, problems, annoyance, and responsibilities which are rushing in upon us. At every moment we have a dozen different things to do, a dozen problems to solve, a dozen strains to endure. We see ourselves as overdriven, overburdened, overtired. This is a common mental picture and it is totally false. No one of us, however crowded his life, has such an existence. What is the true picture of your life? Imagine that there is an hour glass on your desk. Connecting the bowl at the top with the bowl at the bottom is a tube so thin that only one grain of sand can pass through it at a time. That is the true picture of your life, even on a super busy day, The crowded hours come to you always one moment at a time. That is the only way they can come. The day may bring many tasks, many problems, strains, but invariably they come in single file. You want to gain emotional poise? Remember the hourglass, the grains of sand dropping one by one. – James Gordon Gilkey	added by anonymous 13 years ago
The poor and the affluent are not communicating because they do not have the same words. When we talk of the millions who are culturally deprived, we refer not to those who do not have access to good libraries and bookstores, or to museums and centers for the performing arts, but those deprived of the words with which everything else is built, the words that opens doors. Children without words are licked before they start. The legion of the young wordless in urban and rural slums, eight to ten years old, do not know the meaning of hundreds of words which most middle-class people assume to be familiar to much younger children. Most of them have never seen their parents read a book or a magazine, or heard words used in other than rudimentary ways related to physical needs and functions. Thus is cultural fallout caused, the vicious circle of ignorance and poverty reinforced and perpetuated. Children deprived of words become school dropouts; dropouts deprived of hope behave delinquently. Amateur censors blame delinquency on reading immoral books and magazines, when in fact, the inability to read anything is the basic trouble. – Peter S. Jennison	added by anonymous 13 years ago
Whoever sets himself to see things as they are will find himself one of a very small circle but it is only by this small circle resolutely doing its own work that adequate ideas will ever get current at all. – Matthew Arnold	added by anonymous 14 years ago
Come out of the circle of time And into the circle of love. – Jalal ud-Din Rumi	added by anonymous 14 years ago
Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his lttle finger. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed. – William James	added by anonymous 14 years ago
For the ordinary man is passive. Within a narrow circle (home life, and perhaps the trade unions or local politics) he feels himself master of his fate, but against major events he is as helpless as against the elements. So far from endeavouring to influence the future, he simply lies down and lets things happen to him. – George Orwell	added by anonymous 14 years ago
Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace. – Albert Schweitzer	added by anonymous 14 years ago
Never, never rest contented with any circle of ideas, but always be certain that a wider one is still possible. – Pearl Bailey	added by anonymous 14 years ago
Men moving only in an official circle are apt to become merely official -- not to say arbitrary -- in their ideas, and are apter and apter with each passing day to forget that they only hold power in a representative capacity. – William Adams	added by anonymous 14 years ago
When our eyes see our hands doing the work of our hearts, the circle of Creation is completed inside us, the doors of our souls fly open and love steps forth to heal everything in sight. – Michael Bridge	added by anonymous 14 years ago
In helping others, we shall help ourselves, for whatever good we give out completes the circle and comes back to us. – Flora Edwards	added by anonymous 14 years ago
Like the old motto of a famous Sunday paper, 'All human life was there' in the stately circle of the Mountbatten-Windsors, as the family coped in semipublic with those everlasting elements of human interest-sickness, scandal, family tension and divorce. – John Pearson	added by anonymous 14 years ago
If you love someone, put their name in a circle because hearts can be broken, but circles never end. – Unknown	added by anonymous 14 years ago
I never have found the perfect quote. At best I have been able to find a string of quotations which merely circle the ineffable idea I seek to express. – Caldwell O'Keefe	added by anonymous 14 years ago
Life is like a vicious circle.... only the ones on the edge know what it is to face Highs and lows – Siddharth Astir	added by anonymous 14 years ago
Glory is like a circle in the water, which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, till by broad spreading it disperses to naught. – William Shakespeare	added by anonymous 14 years ago
