Assumptions Quotes

Rainer Maria Rilke Quote

Do not assume that she who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. Her life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, she would never have been able to find these words. -- Rainer Maria Rilke

John W. Gardner Quote

The creative individual has the capacity to free himself from the web of social pressures in which the rest of us are caught. He is capable of questioning the assumptions that the rest of us accept. -- John W. Gardner

John Sales Quote

Assumptions allow the best in life to pass you by. -- John Sales

Anne Morrow Lindbergh Quote

The intellectual is constantly betrayed by his vanity. Godlike he blandly assumes that he can express everything in words whereas the things one loves, lives, and dies for are not, in the last analysis completely expressible in words. -- Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Richard Buckminster Fuller Quote

By and large, I seem to have made more mistakes than any others of whom I know, but have learned thereby to make ever swifter acknowledgment of the errors and thereafter immediately set about to deal more effectively with the truths disclosed by the acknowledgment of erroneous assumptions. -- Richard Buckminster Fuller

Walt Whitman Quote

I celebrate myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. -- Walt Whitman

W. Somerset Maugham Quote

Sometimes people carry to such perfection the mask they have assumed that in due course they actually become the person they seem. -- W. Somerset Maugham

Albert Einstein Quote

I don't know what kind of weapons will be used in the third world war, assuming there will be a third world war. But I can tell you what the fourth world war will be fought with -- stone clubs. -- Albert Einstein

Douglas Noel Adams Quote

Man has always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much-the wheel, New York, wars and so on-while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man-for precisely the same reason. -- Douglas Noel Adams

Brooks Atkinson Quote

We cheerfully assume that in some mystic way love conquers all, that good outweighs evil in the just balances of the universe and at the 11th hour something gloriously triumphant will prevent the worst before it happens. -- Brooks Atkinson
