It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice.

Jose Rizal

Respect the past in the full measure of its desserts, but do not make the mistake of confusing it with the present nor seek in it the ideals of the future.

Josi Incenieros

The ideal committee is one with me as chairman, and two other members in bed with flu.

Lord Milverton

Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man's happiness really lies in contentment.

Mahatma Gandhi

Happiness is ideal, it is the work of the imagination.

Marquis de Sade

The ideal has many names, and beauty is but one of them.

Ninon de L'Enclos

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Life without idealism is empty indeed. We just hope or starve to death.

Pearl S. Buck

Dachshunds are ideal dogs for small children, as they are already stretched and pulled to such a length that the child cannot do much harm one way or the other.

Robert Benchley

Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, these ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

Robert F. Kennedy

The world is full of people whose notion of a satisfactory future is, in fact, a return to the idealized past.

Robertson Davies

An ideal wife is one who remains faithful to you but tries to be just as charming as if she weren't.

Sacha Guitry

Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Samuel Ullman

The ideal friendship is to feel as one while remaining two.

Sophie Swetchine

Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.

Swami Vivekananda

Some men can live up to their loftiest ideals without ever going higher than a basement.

Theodore Roosevelt

Our life dreams the Utopia. Our death achieves the Ideal.

Victor Hugo

The need of the immaterial is the most deeply rooted of all needs. One must have bread; but before bread, one must have the ideal.

Victor Hugo

Once a man has tasted freedom he will never be content to be a slave. That is why I believe that this frightfulness we see everywhere today is only temporary. Tomorrow will be better for as long as America keeps alive the ideals of freedom and a better life.

Walt Disney

A man has honour if he holds himself to an ideal of conduct though it is inconvenient, unprofitable or dangerous to do so.

Walter Lippmann

Surely the shortest commencement address in history - and for me one of the most memorable - was that of Dr. Harold E. Hyde, President of New Hampshire's Plymouth State College. He reduced his message to the graduating class to these three ideals: 'Know yourself- Socrates. Control yourself- Cicero; Give yourself - Christ.'

Mark 1:4-11

Sermon

King Duncan

... there’s no going back.” Because it happens for many people when they are infants or, depending on your background, as a young person, we might not give much thought to it. But we ought to regard it as the most significant moment in our life. Ideally, we should carry with us at all times the consciousness that we are a baptized person. [In fact, I would like every baptized person in the room to touch your forehead and declare aloud, “I have been baptized!”] And that baptism should make a difference ...

1200. The Greatest Motivator

1 Corinthians 9:1-27

Sermon

King Duncan

... .” Not from your peers, but from your pears. (5) I don’t think we’re so desperate for respect that we even need our fruits and vegetables to notice us.
