Differences quotes by Susan Wiggs
#1. You mustn't touch me." Very slowly, he lowered his hand. "You need to be touched, Caitlin MacBride. You need it very badly." She girded herself with denial. "Even if it were so, I would not need it from an Englishman." "Think again, my love. We're easy with one another despite our differences. Remember our first meeting - the shock of it, the knowing? We could be good for each other." "And when, pray, has an Englishman ever been good for Ireland?" A lazy grin spread over his face. "Even I know that, Caitlin. St. Patrick himself was English born, was he not?" "But he had the heart of Eireann." "So might I, Caitlin MacBride. So might I. #Quote by Susan Wiggs
Differences quotes by Diana Palmer
#2. She wasn't sure when she realized that she wasn't alone. She'd heard a louder murmur from the crowd outside, but she hadn't connected it with the door opening. She looked over her shoulder and saw Tate standing against the back wall. He was wearing one of those Armani suits that looked so splendid on his lithe build, and he had his trenchcoat over one arm. He was leaning back, glaring at the ceremony. Something was different about him, but Cecily couldn't think what. It wasn't the vivid bruise high up on his cheek where Matt had hit him. But it was something…Then it dawned on her. His hair was cut short, like her own. He glared at her.
Cecily wasn't going to cower in her seat and let him think she was afraid to face him. Mindful of the solemnity of the occasion, she got up and joined Tate by the door.
"So you actually came. Bruises and all," she whispered with a faintly mocking smile, eyeing the very prominent green-and-yellow patch on his jaw that Matt Holden had put there.
He looked down at her from turbulent black eyes. He didn't reply for a minute while he studied her, taking in the differences in her appearance, too. His eyes narrowed on her short hair. She thought his eyelids flinched, but it might have been the light.
His eyes went back to the ceremony. He didn't say another word. He didn't really need to. He'd cut his hair. In his culture-the one that part of him still belonged to-cutting the hair was a sign of grief.
She could feel the way it #Quote by Diana Palmer
Differences quotes by E. O. Wilson
#3. We ought to recognize that religious strife is not the consequence of differences among people. It's about conflicts between creation stories. #Quote by E. O. Wilson
Differences quotes by Moshe Feldenkrais
#4. In order to recognize small changes in effort, the effort itself must first be reduced. More delicate and improved control of movement is possible only through the increase of sensitivity, through a greater ability to sense differences. #Quote by Moshe Feldenkrais
Differences quotes by Neale Donald Walsch
#5. Love lets go. Need holds on. This is the way you can tell the difference between need and love. Let go of expectation, let go of requirements and rules and regulations that you would impose on your loved ones. #Quote by Neale Donald Walsch
Differences quotes by Honore De Balzac
#6. Between the daylight gambler and the player at night there is the same difference that lies between a careless husband and the lover swooning under his lady's window. #Quote by Honore De Balzac
Differences quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
#7. People are all exactly alike. There's no such thing as a race and barely such a thing as an ethnic group. If we were dogs, we'd be the same breed. George Bush and an Australian Aborigine have fewer differences than a Lhasa apso and a toy fox terrier. A Japanese raised in Riyadh would be an Arab. A Zulu raised in New Rochelle would be an orthodontist. People are all the same, though their circumstances differ terribly. #Quote by P. J. O'Rourke
Differences quotes by James J. Kilpatrick
#8. The chief difference between good writing and better writing may be measured by the number of imperceptible hesitations the reader experiences as he goes along. #Quote by James J. Kilpatrick
Differences quotes by Jon Kyl
#9. Big guy and little guy, it should make no difference. The rule of law demands neutrality. #Quote by Jon Kyl
Differences quotes by Anton Chekhov
#10. Doctors are just the same as lawyers; the only difference is that lawyers merely rob you, whereas doctors rob you and kill you too. #Quote by Anton Chekhov
Differences quotes by Andy Stanley
#11. The primary reason we do too much is that we have never taken the time to discover that portion of what we do that makes the biggest difference. #Quote by Andy Stanley
Differences quotes by Samuel J. Palmisano
#12. If we overregulate, over control, impose too many burdens and too much bureaucracy - or if we do it across the board, without taking into account the differences among businesses and their relative impact on society - that could make people risk-averse and dampen the entrepreneurial spirit. #Quote by Samuel J. Palmisano
Differences quotes by Katherine Paterson
#13. Peace is not won by those who fiercely guard their differences, but by those who with open minds and hearts seek out connections. #Quote by Katherine Paterson
Differences quotes by Joan Robinson
#14. The fundamental differences between Marxian and traditional orthodox economics are, first, that the orthodox economists accept the capitalist system as part of the eternal order of Nature, while Marx regards it as a passing phase in the transition from the feudal economy of the past to the socialist economy of the future. #Quote by Joan Robinson
Differences quotes by Seneca The Younger
#15. Philosophy takes as her aim the state of happiness ... she shows us what are real and what are only apparent evils. She strips men's minds of empty thinking, bestows a greatness that is solid and administers a check to greatness where it is puffed up and all an empty show; she sees that we are left no doubt about the difference between what is great and what is bloated. #Quote by Seneca The Younger
Differences quotes by Nikolas Lee
#16. Your jaw makes you different, Ionikus Reaves, and more often than not, it is our differences that make us stronger. #Quote by Nikolas Lee
Differences quotes by Robert Herrick
#17. Twixt kings and tyrants there's this difference known; Kings seek their subjects' good: tyrants their own. #Quote by Robert Herrick
Differences quotes by Paula Broadwell
#18. Having a bunch of medals and badges doesn't necessarily mean you've achieved anything, you've got to do something beyond yourself to make a difference in life. Seek to be consequential in whatever you do. #Quote by Paula Broadwell
Differences quotes by Susan C. Young
#19. Love is the universal language that transcends countries, borders, barriers, and differences. #Quote by Susan C. Young
Differences quotes by Samuel Johnson
#20. Difference of thoughts will produce difference of language. He that thinks with more extent than another, will want words of a larger meaning; he that thinks with more subtilty will seek for terms of more nice discrimination; and where is the wonder, since words are but the images of things, that he who never knew the original should not know the copies? #Quote by Samuel Johnson
Differences quotes by Suyog Ketkar
#21. If we can get the design right, we can reduce the experiential differences between the first-time and the repeated usage of the application. #Quote by Suyog Ketkar
Differences quotes by Samuel P. Huntington
#22. The West is and will remain for years to come the most powerful civilization. Yet its power relative to that of other civilizations is declining. As the West attempts to assert its values and to protect its interests, non-Western societies confront a choice. Some attempt to emulate the West and to join or to "bandwagon" with the West. Other Confucian and Islamic societies attempt to expand their own economic and military power to resist and to "balance" against the West. A central axis of post--Cold War world politics is thus the interaction of Western power and culture with the power and culture of non-Western civilizations.

In sum, the post--Cold War world is a world of seven or eight major civilizations. Cultural commonalities and differences shape the interests, antagonisms, and associations of states. The most important countries in the world come overwhelmingly from different civilizations. The local conflicts most likely to escalate into broader wars are those between groups and states from different civilizations. The predominant patterns of political and economic development differ from civilization to civilization. The key issues on the international agenda involve differences among civilizations. Power is shifting from the long predominant West to non-Western civilizations. Global politics has become multipolar and multicivilizational. #Quote by Samuel P. Huntington
Differences quotes by Tom Robbins
#23. Our similarities bring us to a common ground;
Our differences allow us to be fascinated by each other. #Quote by Tom Robbins
Differences quotes by Chris Cornell
#24. Due to irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences, I am permanently leaving the band Audioslave. I wish the other three members nothing but the best in all of their future endeavours. #Quote by Chris Cornell
Differences quotes by Audre Lorde
#25. When you are a member of an out-group, and you challenge others with whom you share this outsider position to examine some aspect of their lives that distorts differences between you, then there can be a great deal of pain. #Quote by Audre Lorde
Differences quotes by Lauryn Hill
#26. I was very confused. I didn't understand the difference between rebellion against God and rebellion against the system that's not God. #Quote by Lauryn Hill
Differences quotes by Hugh Downs
#27. This country is a one-party country. Half of it is called Republican and half is called Democrat. It doesn't make any difference. All the really good ideas belong to the Libertarians. #Quote by Hugh Downs
Differences quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
#28. The axioms of physics translate the laws of ethics. Thus, "the whole is greater than its part;" "reaction is equal to action;" "the smallest weight may be made to lift the greatest, the difference of weight being compensated by time;" and many the like propositions, which have an ethical as well as physical sense. These propositions have a much more extensive and universal sense when applied to human life, than when confined to technical use. #Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Differences quotes by Robert M. Sapolsky
#29. Testosterone has far less to do with aggression than most assume. Within the normal range, individual differences in testosterone levels don't predict who will be aggressive. Moreover, the more an organism has been aggressive, the less testosterone is needed for further aggression. When testosterone does play a role, it's facilitatory - testosterone does not 'invent' aggression. It makes us more sensitive to triggers of aggression. Also, rising testosterone levels foster aggression only during challenges to status. Finally, crucially, the rise in testosterone during a status challenge does not necessarily increase aggression; it increases whatever is needed to maintain status. In a world in which status is awarded for the best of our behaviors, testosterone would be the most prosocial hormone in existence. #Quote by Robert M. Sapolsky
Differences quotes by Robert D Bullard
#30. There is a difference between a job and the promise of jobs, there is a difference between economic development and the promise of economic development. #Quote by Robert D Bullard
Differences quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
#31. Where I come from, family's defined as those who don't screw you over a paycheck. Blood makes no difference. If you can trust them with your life and know that they'll be there come whatever hell rains down, then they're your family. #Quote by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Differences quotes by Nick Cave
#32. At some point you start seeing the difference between what you really want, and what is your priority order. I feel that today I know what I want. That's the problem with perspective, as well as focus and concentration. #Quote by Nick Cave
Differences quotes by Tony Leon
#33. The citizens have "the extraordinary and exhausting practice of sitting down to dinner at any time between 10m and 11 p.m. I found it challenging to stay animated and conversational when my normal bedtime was usually about the time that the first course was being cleared". #Quote by Tony Leon
Differences quotes by Will Durant
#34. Racial antipathies have some roots in ethnic origin, but they are also generated, perhaps predominantly, by differences of acquired culture - of language, dress, habits, morals, or religion. There is no cure for such antipathies except a broadened education. #Quote by Will Durant
Differences quotes by Nikolai Gogol
#35. For public opinion does not admit that lofty rapturous laughter is worthy to stand beside lofty lyrical emotion and that there isall the difference in the world between it and the antics of a clown at a fair. #Quote by Nikolai Gogol
Differences quotes by Angela Merkel
#36. I want to see everyone contribute to the overall costs of the system, and with their entire earnings. I'm convinced that an objective discussion will reveal that the differences between the parties, which have been greatly exaggerated in some quarters, aren't that significant after all. #Quote by Angela Merkel
Differences quotes by Robin Sacredfire
#37. Nobody fights over the opinion of which book is better. So why do we fight over which religion is better, if they're all based on books? Let us read and learn from them all and unite in our differences and disagreements too. #Quote by Robin Sacredfire
Differences quotes by Bill Bradley
#38. Working with the UN's diplomacy and development arms, we can prevent minor differences from escalating into wars. When conflicts do break out, UN peacekeepers should play a role in defusing and settling them. Without giving up our sovereignty, we can help the UN with better training and better command and control in order to develop more effective peacekeeping forces. #Quote by Bill Bradley
Differences quotes by Jose Saramago
#39. Such insignificant differences as a few hundred years here or there were the motive for long, long controversies, both public and academic, which almost always resulted in the violent breakup of personal relationships and even in mortal enmities. #Quote by Jose Saramago
Differences quotes by John C. Maxwell
#40. Attitude isn't everything, but it is one thing that can make a difference in your life. #Quote by John C. Maxwell
Differences quotes by Vishal Mangalwadi
#41. We must be free inside to make a difference outside. #Quote by Vishal Mangalwadi
Differences quotes by Trey Gowdy
#42. I am not surprised that the President of the United States called this a phony scandal. I'm not surprised that Secretary Clinton asked, "What difference does it make?" I'm not even surprised that Jay Carney said that Benghazi happened 'a long time ago.' I'm just surprised at how many people bought it. #Quote by Trey Gowdy
Differences quotes by Samuel Alexander
#43. For psychological purposes the most important differences in conation are those in virtue of which the object is revealed as sensed or perceived or imaged or remembered or thought. #Quote by Samuel Alexander
Differences quotes by Irene Nemirovsky
#44. For music alone can abolish differences
of language or culture between two people and invoke something indestructible within them. #Quote by Irene Nemirovsky
Differences quotes by Ray Winstone
#45. The other thing is that when people mention computers - and I'm pretty much the same - they find it hard to comprehend that there's a performance there. They look at it as something that's just been made by a computer but in a way the difference is that when you make a normal film - and I'm simplifying it here - you put on the make-up and you put the scenery in before you start shooting, but with this you still perform in the same way but then you put the make-up on after, along with the costumes and scenery. #Quote by Ray Winstone
Differences quotes by Ronald Reagan
#46. I was not a great communicator, but I communicated great things. #Quote by Ronald Reagan
Differences quotes by Thomas Huxley
#47. Regarded anatomically, the resemblances between the foot of Man and the foot of the Gorilla are far more striking and important than the differences ... be the differences between the hand and foot of Man and those of the Gorilla what they may the differences between those of the Gorilla and those of the lower Apes are much greater. #Quote by Thomas Huxley
Differences quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
#48. You see the grandmother down there with her son and grandson? They've probably been coming here for years together. Or maybe it's their first trip. Either way, it's three generations sitting down together, laying aside their differences for one night to be a family. This is humanity, Steele. This is what we're fighting for. Family. People. Pride. It's our differences that make up our strength. BAD isn't about patriotism. It's about saving individuals. Not just those in America, but all the ones who are out there going about their lives with little to no care about politics. Men, women, and children who only want to live peacefully while others are looking for ways to use them as pawns in a deadly game they don't even want to play. (Joe) #Quote by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Differences quotes by Mac Anderson
#49. I've come to realize that the difference in success or failure is not how you look, how you dress, or how you're educated. It's how you think ! #Quote by Mac Anderson
Differences quotes by Heather Mills
#50. Go on ... make a difference. #Quote by Heather Mills
Differences quotes by Wesley Eisold
#51. There isn't a difference between how I feel in the world and how I feel as a musician, or someone who writes. They are one in the same. It's just a different presentation. #Quote by Wesley Eisold

To learn belonging by participating and self-rule.
Permissiveness in all animal behavior and interpersonal expression.
Emphasis on individual differences.
Unblocking and training feeling by plastic arts, eurythmics and dramatics.
Tolerance of races, classes, and cultures.
Group therapy as a means of solidarity, in the staff meeting and community meeting.
Taking youth seriously as an age in itself.
Community of youth and adults, minimizing 'authority.'
Educational use of the actual physical plant (buildings and farms) and the culture of the school community.
Emphasis in the curriculum on real problems and wider society, its geography and history, with actual participation in the neighboring community (village or city).
Trying for functional interrelation of activities. #Quote by Paul Goodman
Differences quotes by Ellen Oh
#53. Your differences are what make you unique. They're what make you special. You have nothing in common with these ignorant retches who thrive on superstition and fear. You were meant for greatness. #Quote by Ellen Oh
Differences quotes by Ada Lovelace
#54. The method of differences is, in fact, a method of additions; and as it includes within its means a larger number of results attainable by addition simply, than any other mathematical principle, it was very appropriately selected as the basis on which to construct an Adding Machine, so as to give to the powers of such a machine the widest possible range. #Quote by Ada Lovelace
Differences quotes by Karl Marx
#55. National differences and antagonisms between peoples are daily more and more vanishing, owing to the development of the bourgeoisie, to freedom of commerce, to the world-market, to uniformity in the mode of production and in the conditions of life corresponding thereto.
The supremacy of the proletariat will cause them to vanish still faster. United action, of the leading civilized countries at least, is one of the first conditions for the emancipation of the proletariat.
In proportion as the exploitation of one individual by another is put an end to, the exploitation of one nation by another will also be put an end to. In proportion as the antagonism between classes within the nation vanishes, the hostility of one nation to another will come to an end. #Quote by Karl Marx
Differences quotes by Italo Calvino
#56. The close-up has no equivalent in a narrative fashioned of words. Literature is totally lacking in any working method to enable it to isolate a single vastly enlarged detail in which one face comes forward to underline a state of mind or stress the importance of a single detail in comparison with the rest. As a narrative device, the ability to vary the distance between the camera and the object may be a small thing indeed, but it makes for a notable difference between cinema and oral or written narrative, in which the distance between language and image is always the same. #Quote by Italo Calvino
Differences quotes by John F. MacArthur Jr.
#57. To acknowledge that there are such fundamental differences between the genders, and that men an women were designed for different roles, many not correspond with modern feminist sensibilities, but this is after all, what God's own Word says. God created men and women differently with a purpose, and His plan for them reflects their differences. Scripture is clear in teaching that wives should be subject to the authority of their husbands in marriage and that women are to be under the authority and instruction of men in the church. #Quote by John F. MacArthur Jr.
Differences quotes by T. Harv Eker
#58. The single biggest difference between financial success and financial failure is how well you manage your money. It's simple: to master money, you must manage money. #Quote by T. Harv Eker
Differences quotes by Van Morrison
#59. There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. Words are words. The only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. They've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. It's all the same. Lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. They are interchangeable to me. #Quote by Van Morrison
Differences quotes by Desmond Tutu
#60. Too many people think that reconciliation means you soft-pedal differences. #Quote by Desmond Tutu
Differences quotes by Arnold Schwarzenegger
#61. In this country, it doesn't make any difference where you were born. It doesn't make any difference who your parents were. It doesn't make any difference if, like me, you couldn't even speak English until you were in your twenties. #Quote by Arnold Schwarzenegger
Differences quotes by Dan Marino
#62. The scoreboard can't make you a loser. If you walk off the field with your head up, you don't lose. You don't hang your head for nobody. People in the stands think you're the greatest or the worst - their opinion doesn't make a difference. The only opinion that makes any difference is your own opinion of yourself. #Quote by Dan Marino
Differences quotes by Shesh Nath Vernwal
#63. Unification of differences is power. #Quote by Shesh Nath Vernwal
Differences quotes by Amor Towles
#64. For it is a fact that a man can be profoundly out of step with his times. A man may have been born in a city famous for its idiosyncratic culture and yet, the very habits, fashions, and ideas that exalt that city in the eyes of the world may make no sense to him at all. As he proceeds through life, he looks about in a state of confusion, understanding neither the inclinations nor the aspirations of his peers. #Quote by Amor Towles
Differences quotes by Democritus
#65. One great difference between a wise man and a fool is, the former only wishes for what he may possibly obtain; the latter desires impossibilities. #Quote by Democritus
Differences quotes by Bill Nye
#66. The takeaway message here, as Jablonski points out, is that there is no such thing as different races of humans. Any differences we traditionally associate with race are a product of our need for vitamin D and our relationship to the Sun. Just a few clusters of genes control skin color; the changes in skin color are recent; they've gone back and forth with migrations; they are not the same even among two groups with similarly dark skin; and they are tiny compared to the total human genome. So skin color and "race" are neither significant nor consistent defining traits. We all descended from the same African ancestors, with little genetic separation from each other. The different colors or tones of skin are the result of an evolutionary response to ultraviolet light in local environments. Everybody has brown skin tinted by the pigment melanin. Some people have light brown skin. Some people have dark brown skin. But we all are brown, brown, brown. #Quote by Bill Nye
Differences quotes by Leo Rosten
#67. Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable. #Quote by Leo Rosten
Differences quotes by Lindsey Stirling
#68. By finding the courage to be ourselves, we gain the power to make a difference. #Quote by Lindsey Stirling
Differences quotes by Diana Palmer
#69. How is Tate?"
He dropped into the chair across from her with an irritated sound. "Well, he isn't the man I used to know."
Her eyes held a soft sadness. "You don't know why, Colby."
"Like to bet?" he asked with a wry grin. "He called Matt Holden everything except a man, and then he stared on his mother. He was livid that she'd kept the truth about his real father from him all those years, and that she hung up on him when he called to get the truth out of her. But he was even madder when he found out that she'd moved into Holden's house and was living with him. He called her a name I won't repeat."
"What happened?" Cecily prompted impatiently when he paused.
"Senator Holden knocked him over the sofa. Leta got in the way and broke it up, but Tate left in a red rage, swearing that he'd never speak to either of them again."
It was no less than she'd expected, having known Tate for so many years. But she felt sorry for Leta and Matt. "Do you know where he went?" she asked.
"He didn't say. I wasn't willing to risk asking him, either," he added ruefully. "Tate and I have had our differences lately."
"What a mess."
"It'll blow over," he said. "People get mad, they get over it."
"Tate doesn't."
"Well, he can work on joining the human race, can't he? #Quote by Diana Palmer
Differences quotes by Anita Sarkeesian
#70. There is a clear difference between sexist parody and parody of sexism. Sexist parody encourages the players to mock and trivialize gender issues while parody of sexism disrupts the status quo and undermines regressive gender conventions. #Quote by Anita Sarkeesian
Differences quotes by Bill Maher
#71. The difference between the three Abrahamic religions: Christianity - mumbling to the ceiling, Judaism - mumbling to the wall, Islam - mumbling to the floor. #Quote by Bill Maher
Differences quotes by William J. Clinton
#72. You cannot have an integrated world and have your say all the time. America can lead the world towards that, but we cannot dominate and run the world in that direction. There is a big difference. #Quote by William J. Clinton
Differences quotes by Barack Obama
#73. That is the difference we make in the world. And our own safety - our own security - depends upon our willingness to do what it takes to defend this nation, and uphold the values that we stand for - timeless ideals that will endure long after those who offer only hate and destruction have been vanquished from the Earth. #Quote by Barack Obama
Differences quotes by Jenni Schaefer
#74. I left myself out of humanity by focusing on differences. This isolation only strengthened Ed (17) #Quote by Jenni Schaefer
Differences quotes by David Hume
#75. Starting with Martin Luther's rebellion against the Church of Rome in 1517, led to widespread religious wars founded on philosophical differences: one side took Church authority and tradition as the criterion of truth, the other appealed instead to the Spirit of God acting within the individual believer. #Quote by David Hume
Differences quotes by N. R. Narayana Murthy
#76. Progress is often equal to the difference between mind and mindset. #Quote by N. R. Narayana Murthy
Differences quotes by Walter Rodney
#77. Ethnic differences exist; of course they exist on the African continent. They are not necessarily political differences, however. They don't necessarily cause people to kill each other. They become so-called 'tribalism' when they are politicized in a particular framework. And in post-independence Africa they have been politicized largely by sections of the so-called African elite. #Quote by Walter Rodney
Differences quotes by Michael Shermer
#78. There is a significant difference between having no belief in a God and believing there is no God ... #Quote by Michael Shermer
Differences quotes by Tituss Burgess
#79. There's a bit of a difference in the way he sounds. Samuel E. Wright lent his voice and personality to the animated film with his booming voice. I have a high-tenor voice. Instead, I have to figure out a way to convince the audience to come along with me and accept this new texture and tambour to the way Sebastian sounds. I have a great dialect coach. #Quote by Tituss Burgess
Differences quotes by Peter Senge
#80. When all is said and done, the only change that will make a difference is the transformation of the human heart. #Quote by Peter Senge
Differences quotes by Jim Hurley
#81. There's what I'll call best practices and then there's reality. Based on our research over the past two to three years, there are significant differences in performance results that companies are experiencing with their security programs. There are some common things that are done very well among the best-class enterprises suffering the least amount of breaches and damages. But even having said that, there's probably no way to defeat a serious security threat today and it wouldn't matter what the tool is. The only way to do that would be to unplug the computers. #Quote by Jim Hurley
Differences quotes by John Denver
#82. I believe that we are here for each other, not against each other. Everything comes from an understanding that you are a gift in my life - whoever you are, whatever our differences. #Quote by John Denver
Differences quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
#83. Communist propaganda would sometimes include statements such as "we include almost all the commandments of the Gospel in our ideology". The difference is that the Gospel asks all this to be achieved through love, through self-limitation, but socialism only uses coercion. This is one point. #Quote by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Differences quotes by Muhammad Ali
#84. There is one hell of a difference between fighting in the ring and going to war in Vietnam. #Quote by Muhammad Ali
Differences quotes by Vitali Klitschko
#85. Chess is similar to boxing. You need to develop a strategy, and you need to think two or three steps ahead about what your opponent is doing. You have to be smart. But what's the difference between chess and boxing? In chess, nobody is an expert, but everybody plays. In boxing everybody is an expert, but nobody fights. #Quote by Vitali Klitschko
Differences quotes by Olivier Magny
#86. Just like literature, wine takes time to learn. Before having access to the emotion of a stunning poem or to the vigor of a captivating novel, we all had to go through a long initiation. First, we need to learn the alphabet, the sound of each letter. In wine, that would be learning about the grapes and their characteristics. Then, once we master our letters, we need to learn the arrangements of letters, the pronunciation, the grammar, the structure of sentences. Now we can read. In wine, that would be the stage when we start noticing differences between two reds. You no longer drink wine: you start drinking this wine. #Quote by Olivier Magny
Differences quotes by Katie Couric
#87. [I am enthusiastic about journalism because] it's a craft that can ... galvanize an often complacent citizenry, and make a difference. #Quote by Katie Couric
Differences quotes by Bob Bitchin
#88. The difference between an adventure and an ordeal is attitude. #Quote by Bob Bitchin
Differences quotes by Stephen King
#89. By definition, though, we are family. And in difficult times-- times like these-- despite our differences, we stand together as family. #Quote by Stephen King
Differences quotes by Mark Epstein
#90. Just as mind rises up and rebels at un unskillful attempt to subdue it in meditation, a relationship will fall apart if the partners are not respectful of each other's differences. <...> Separateness and connection make each other possible; they are not mutually exclusive. #Quote by Mark Epstein
Differences quotes by Frank Borman
#91. When you're finally up at the moon looking back on earth,all those differences and nationalistic traits are pretty well going to blend, and you're going to get a concept that maybe this really is one world and why the hell can't we live together like decent people? #Quote by Frank Borman
Differences quotes by Ellis
#92. Short term memory makes no difference if you've lost your mind. #Quote by Ellis
Differences quotes by Dan Rather
#93. [I]nclusion, not assimilation, should be the key concept in seeking, ever seeking, a more perfect national union. Our own history has shown that we are stronger as a mosaic than a melting pot. Our nation is bound together more by ideals than by blood or land, and inclusion is in our cultural DNA. We should feel proud that we are not all the same, and that we can share our differences under the common umbrella of humanity. #Quote by Dan Rather
Differences quotes by Brooke Burke
#94. I really believe in the environmental movement right now - it only takes a little effort to make a big difference. #Quote by Brooke Burke
Differences quotes by Marianne Williamson
#95. The implication was that if you had any skepticism whatsoever, you were anti-science. I think there's a difference between having skepticism about science and having skepticism about the pharmaceutical industry. #Quote by Marianne Williamson
Differences quotes by Banana Yoshimoto
#96. fighting to bridge those gaps isn't what really matters. The most important thing is to know them inside and out, as differences, and to understand why certain people are the way they are. My #Quote by Banana Yoshimoto
Differences quotes by Nick Hanauer
#97. Raising the minimum wage a lot across the board would make a big difference. It's not the only thing, but it's an indispensable part of solving the problem. #Quote by Nick Hanauer
Differences quotes by Randy Travis
#98. For me, having come to study and understand some of the Bible and finally getting saved made a huge difference in me, because my wife was a big influence on that. I saw in her, when I first met her, a person's soul at peace with everything and everybody around her. #Quote by Randy Travis
Differences quotes by Henry James
#99. She sat with great intensity, giving the whole of her mind to it, and was capable of remaining for an hour almost as motionless as if she were before a photographer's lens. I could see she had been photographed often, but somehow the very habit that made her good for that purpose unfitted her for mine. At first I was extremely pleased with her lady-like air, and it was a satisfaction, on coming to follow her lines, to see how good they were and how far they could lead the pencil. But after a few times I began to find her too insurmountably stiff; do what I would with it my drawing looked like a photograph or a copy of a photograph. Her figure had no variety of expression -- she herself had no sense of variety. You may say that this was my business, was only a question of placing her. I placed her in every conceivable position, but she managed to obliterate their differences. She was always a lady certainly, and into the bargain was always the same lady. She was the real thing, but always the same thing. There were moments when I was oppressed by the serenity of her confidence that she WAS the real thing. #Quote by Henry James
Differences quotes by Charles De Lint
#100. As far as I'm concerned, the only difference between fact and what most people call fiction is about fifteen pages in the dictionary. #Quote by Charles De Lint
Differences quotes by Murray Bookchin
#101. There are no hierarchies in nature other than those imposed by hierarchical modes of human thought, but rather differences merely in function between and within living things. #Quote by Murray Bookchin
Differences quotes by Ted Cruz
#102. While there may have been an age difference, Josh Duggar's transgressions are far less an affront to God than what gays do with each other. #Quote by Ted Cruz
Differences quotes by Abbas Kiarostami
#103. All the different nations in the world, despite their differences of appearance and religion and language and way of life, still have one thing in common, and that is what's inside of all of us. If we X-rayed the insides of different human beings, we wouldn't be able to tell from those X-rays what the person's language or background or race is. #Quote by Abbas Kiarostami
Differences quotes by Elizabeth Miyu Blake
#104. We live in one world together. It's more important than ever to be friend to all. #Quote by Elizabeth Miyu Blake
Differences quotes by Elmore Leonard
#105. Psychopaths ... people who know the differences between right and wrong, but don't give a shit. That's what most of my characters are like. #Quote by Elmore Leonard
Differences quotes by Susan Howe
#106. Soundwaves. It's the difference between one stillness and another stillness. #Quote by Susan Howe
Differences quotes by Alexis Arguello
#107. Yes, across the board, these gentlemen understand they have the power to make a difference and even educate people to injustices that are occurring in their worlds. #Quote by Alexis Arguello
Differences quotes by Kevin Jonas
#108. It's not about one person doing one big thing ... It's about a lot of people doing small things that really make the difference. #Quote by Kevin Jonas
Differences quotes by Michael Crichton
#109. Environmentalism needs to be absolutely based in objective and verifiable science, it needs to be rational, and it needs to be flexible. And it needs to be apolitical. To mix environmental concerns with the frantic fantasies that people have about one political party or another is to miss the cold truth - that there is very little difference between the parties, except a difference in pandering rhetoric. #Quote by Michael Crichton
Differences quotes by Terence McKenna
#110. The only difference between a drug and a computer is that one is slightly too large to swallow ... And our best people are working on that problem, even as we speak. #Quote by Terence McKenna
Differences quotes by Georg C. Lichtenberg
#111. The lower classes of men, though they do not think it worthwhile to record what they perceive, nevertheless perceive everything that is worth noting; the difference between them and a man of learning often consists in nothing more than the latter's facility for expression. #Quote by Georg C. Lichtenberg
Differences quotes by Barry Lane
#112. I'm not very good at practice. But if you tell yourself you love the hole and love hitting it on the fairway, it's a big difference. #Quote by Barry Lane
Differences quotes by Bob Mould
#113. How can you qualify the difference between a sin and a lie. #Quote by Bob Mould
Differences quotes by David Packard
#114. People, materials, facilities, money, and time are the resources available to us for conducting our business. By applying our skills, we turn these resources into useful products and services. If we do a good job, customers pay us more for our products than the sum of our costs in producing and distributing them. This difference, our profit, represents the value we add to the resources we utilize. #Quote by David Packard
Differences quotes by Eric Thomas
#115. I don't care if you broke, you grew up broke ... you grew up rich. You only get 24hrs in a day! We all only get 24 hours in a day. It's what we do with it that makes the difference! #Quote by Eric Thomas
Differences quotes by Ben Carson
#116. Disagreement is part of being a person who has choices. One of those choices is to respect others and engage in intelligent conversation about differences of opinion without becoming enemies, eventually allowing us to move forward to compromise. #Quote by Ben Carson
Differences quotes by Napoleon Hill
#117. There is a vast difference between failure and temporary defeat. #Quote by Napoleon Hill
Differences quotes by Howard Schultz
#118. I've traveled around the world, and what's so revealing is that, despite the differences in culture, politics, language, how people dress, there is a universal feeling that we all want the same thing. We deeply want to be respected and appreciated for our differences. #Quote by Howard Schultz
Differences quotes by Alain De Botton
#119. The Romantic vision of marriage stresses the importance of finding the "right" person, which is taken to mean someone in sympathy with the raft of our interests and values. There is no such person over the long term. We are too varied and peculiar. There cannot be lasting congruence. The partner truly best suited to us is not the one who miraculously happens to share every taste but the one who can negotiate differences in taste with intelligence and good grace.

Rather than some notional idea of perfect complementarity, it is the capacity to tolerate dissimilarity that is the true marker of the "right" person. Compatibility is an achievement of love; it shouldn't be its precondition. #Quote by Alain De Botton
Differences quotes by Austen Hartke
#120. There are two ways to interpret what Paul says in Galatians 3:28 about our being one in Christ: either it means that we're all whitewashed and homogenized and our differences are erased... or it means that we're called to find a way to make our different identities fit together, like the bright shards in assorted colors that make up the stained glass windows of a cathedral. Are we called to sameness, or are we called to oneness? #Quote by Austen Hartke
Differences quotes by Charles Darwin
#121. I fully subscribe to the judgement of those writers who maintain that of all the differences between man and the lower animal, the moral sense of conscience is by far the most important ... It is the most noble of all the attributes of man. #Quote by Charles Darwin
Differences quotes by Slobodan Milosevic
#122. The only differences one can and should allow in socialism are between hard working people and idlers and between honest people and dishonest people. #Quote by Slobodan Milosevic
Differences quotes by Margaret Mahy
#123. Of course there are big differences in length and character and vocabulary, but each level has its particular pleasures when it comes to the words one can use and the way one uses them. #Quote by Margaret Mahy
Differences quotes by Saint Basil
#124. The hairsplitting difference between formed and unformed makes no difference to us. Whoever deliberately commits abortion is subject to the penalty for homicide. #Quote by Saint Basil
Differences quotes by Wendell Berry
#125. The difference between a path and a road is not only the obvious one. A path is little more than a habit that comes with knowledge of a place. It is a sort of ritual of familiarity. As a form, it is a form of contact with a known landscape. It is not destructive. It is the perfect adaptation, through experience and familiarity, of movement to place; it obeys the natural contours; such obstacles as it meets it goes around. #Quote by Wendell Berry
Differences quotes by Napoleon Hill
#126. The most damaging forms of intolerance are connected with religious, racial and political differences of opinion. #Quote by Napoleon Hill
Differences quotes by Mark Twain
#127. It is impossible that a genius - at least a literary genius - can ever be discovered by his intimates; they are so close to him that he is out of focus to them and they can't get at his proportions; they can't perceive that there is any considerable difference between his bulk and their own. #Quote by Mark Twain
Differences quotes by Chuck Jones
#128. I'm not a believer in putting designers off in an ivory tower. They need to have a voice at the table so they can identify where and why design can make a difference. We also need to understand the business issues. If we don't make our numbers this quarter, we don't earn the right to do something cool the next time. #Quote by Chuck Jones
Differences quotes by Freya Stark
#129. One can only really travel if one lets oneself go and takes what every place brings without trying to turn it into a healthy private pattern of one's own and I suppose that is the difference between travel and tourism. #Quote by Freya Stark
Differences quotes by Rajiv Gandhi
#130. Education must be a great equaliser in our society. It must be the tool to level the differences that our various social systems have created over the past thousands of years. #Quote by Rajiv Gandhi
Differences quotes by Lionel Trilling
#131. The diminution of the reality of class, however socially desirable in many respects, seems to have the practical effect of diminishing our ability to see people in their difference and specialness. #Quote by Lionel Trilling
Differences quotes by Elizabeth Dole
#132. [On power:] Some people really have almost a disdain for that word. They feel it is alien to conscience. Power for power's sake, no. But the positive use of power for positive purposes is very important. You have to understand that. You've got to have a seat at the policy table if you want to make a difference. #Quote by Elizabeth Dole
Differences quotes by David Lynch
#133. As collective consciousness goes higher and higher, all the differences in the world will be appreciated more and more. A definition of peace is unity in the midst of diversity. Or you could say happiness, love, and peace in the midst of all diversity. All the differences would be appreciated fully in the light of this peace. #Quote by David Lynch
Differences quotes by Howard Zinn
#134. In spite of such preconceptions about blackness, in spite of special subordination of blacks in the Americas in the seventeenth century, there is evidence that where whites and blacks found themselves with common problems, common work, common enemy in their master, they behaved toward one another as equals. As one scholar of slavery, Kenneth Stampp, has put it, Negro and white servants of the seventeenth century were remarkably unconcerned about the visible physical differences. #Quote by Howard Zinn
Differences quotes by Steven Barnes
#135. Someone asked me about the difference between love and lust. Hmmm. That will take a little thought. How to tell the difference? Well, for guys, if she looks better AFTER you've made love to her than before, that might be love. If you find yourself itching to get out the door afterward, probably just lust, y'know? #Quote by Steven Barnes
Differences quotes by David Cortright
#136. In no circumstance would the United States or any other nation have the right to mount a military invasion to overthrow another government for the ostensible purpose of achieving disarmament. Rather, the United States would respect the Charter of the UN and would strive to achieve disarmament and settle the differences among nations through peaceful diplomatic means. #Quote by David Cortright
Differences quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
#137. And even beyond the flaws, there are just some simple differences between Felipe and me that we will both have to accept. He will never - I promise you - attend a yoga class with me, no matter how many times I may try to convince him that he would absolutely love it. (He would absolutely not love it.) We will never meditate together on a weekend spiritual retreat. I will never get him to cut back on all the red meat, or to do some sort of faddish fasting cleanse with me, just for the fun of it. I will never get him to smooth out his temperament, which burns at sometimes exhausting extremes. He will never take up hobbies with me, I am certain of this. We will not stroll through the farmer's market hand in hand or go on a hike together specifically to identify wildflowers. And although he is happy to sit and listen to me talk all day long about why I love Henry James, he will never read the collected works of Henry James by my side - so this most exquisite pleasure of mine must remain a private one. #Quote by Elizabeth Gilbert
Differences quotes by Jane Goodall
#138. We're the ones who can make a difference. If we lead lives where we consciously leave the lightest possible ecological footprints, if we buy the things that are ethical for us to buy and don't buy the things that are not, we can change the world overnight. #Quote by Jane Goodall
Differences quotes by Thomas Boswell
#139. At its best, the US Open demands straight drives, crisp iron shots, brilliant chipping and putting, and strategic position play. Plus the patience of St. Francis and the will of Patton. At its worst, the Open eradicates the difference in ability between a Tom Purtzer and a Tom Watson and throws both in the same jail of high rough and high risk shots. This is the disturbing tendency in the Opens of the seventies and eighties, one which worries everyone in golf. #Quote by Thomas Boswell
Differences quotes by Agatha Christie
#140. If only-if only, Hastings, you would part your hair in the middle instead of at the side! What a difference it would make to the symmetry of your appearance. And your moustache. If you must have a moustache, let it be a real moustache-a thing of beauty such as mine. #Quote by Agatha Christie
Differences quotes by Laurence J. Peter
#141. If you can tell the difference between good advice and bad advice, you don't need advice. #Quote by Laurence J. Peter
Differences quotes by Swami Vivekananda
#142. Religion has no business to formulate social laws and insist on the difference between beings, because its aim and end is to obliterate all such fictions and monstrosities. #Quote by Swami Vivekananda
Differences quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
#143. That all war is physically frightful is obvious; but if that were a moral verdict, there would be no difference between a torturer and a surgeon. There are certain intellectuals who are too bright to be content with merely praising peace but who are infuriated by anybody praising war. If no war is possible, all criminality has its chance #Quote by Gilbert K. Chesterton
Differences quotes by Charles Darwin
#144. Of all the differences between man and the lower animals, the moral sense or conscience is by far the most important ... [I]t is summed up in that short but imperious word ought, so full of high significance. It is the most noble of all the attributes of man, leading him without a moment's hesitation to risk his life for that of a fellow-creature; or after due deliberation, impelled simply by the deep feeling of right or duty, to sacrifice it in some great cause. #Quote by Charles Darwin
Differences quotes by Amy Klobuchar
#145. When it's for the good of your state, you put partisan differences aside. #Quote by Amy Klobuchar
Differences quotes by Brendon Burchard
#146. Challenge is the pathway to engagement and progress in our lives. But not all challenges are created equal. Some challenges make us feel alive, engaged, connected, and fulfilled. Others simply overwhelm us. Knowing the difference as you set bigger and bolder challenges for yourself is critical to your sanity, success, and satisfaction. #Quote by Brendon Burchard
Differences quotes by Margot Lee Shetterly
#147. Their goal wasn't to stand out because of their differences; it was to fit in because of their talents. Like the men they worked for, and the men they sent hurtling off into the atmosphere, they were just doing their jobs. #Quote by Margot Lee Shetterly
Differences quotes by Lois McMaster Bujold
#148. And this was your friend?" Cordelia raised her eyebrows. "Seems to me the only difference between your friends and your enemies is how long the stand around chatting before they shoot you. #Quote by Lois McMaster Bujold

Differences quotes by Udny Yule
#150. In our lust for measurement, we frequently measure that which we can rather than that which we wish to measure ... and forget that there is a difference. #Quote by Udny Yule
Differences quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
#151. There are diverse styles of learning, problem solving, and a range of methodologies that a person can draw from in order to structure their thoughts or intentionally revise ingrained personal habits including both systematic and unsystematic approaches. Problems solving styles are reflective of personal differences in the manner that people prefer to position themselves in respect to the phenomena in the world and efficiently react to alterations in the external environment. Problem solving strategies encompass numerous variances in what manner a person approaches new concepts, how they manage their daily affairs, and respond effectively to new opportunities and complex challenges. #Quote by Kilroy J. Oldster
Differences quotes by Leigh Newman
#152. While you can't keep your heart from getting broken, you can stop breaking your own heart ... once you realize the difference between what you can control and what you can't, and that it's far, far more fun to lavish all that attention on your own self-worth. #Quote by Leigh Newman
Differences quotes by Deyth Banger
#153. When somebody is ignoring, I ignore him too. When somebody is kicking or punching me I also do that, but with the differences that I do that on him. The rule is called Equal, but it's famous with "quits"! #Quote by Deyth Banger
Differences quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
#154. Every mind is different; and the more it is unfolded, the more pronounced is that difference. #Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Differences quotes by Immanuel Kant
#155. But there are also remarkable differences between the two. The Beautiful in nature is connected with the form of the object, which consists in having boundaries. The Sublime, on the other hand, is to be found in a formless object, so far as in it or by occasion of it boundlessness is represented, and yet its totality is also present to thought. Thus the Beautiful seems to be regarded as the presentation of an indefinite concept of Understanding; the Sublime as that of a like concept of Reason. Therefore the satisfaction in the one case is bound up with the representation of quality, in the other with that of quantity. #Quote by Immanuel Kant
Differences quotes by Gertrude Atherton
#156. Whether you fail or set the world on fire cannot make so very much difference if only you have the opportunity to try for it, to work for it, to think of nothing else! #Quote by Gertrude Atherton
Differences quotes by Michael Bloomberg
#157. Most people won't have opportunity to do full-time service, but those lucky enough to have monetary wealth or some spare time really can make an enormous difference. As someone who's now in the public sector, and is seeing up-close-and-personal the real impact of what we do and what we give, I can tell you: every dollar and every volunteer help, in more ways than you can count. #Quote by Michael Bloomberg
Differences quotes by Tracy Thompson
#158. It seemed to me the basic definition of mental illness, this persistent, painful inability to simply be with someone else. It might be lifelong, or it might descend like a sudden catastrophe, this blankness between ourselves and the rest of the world. The blankness might not even be obvious to others. But on our side of that severed connection, it was hell, a life lived behind glass. The only difference between mild depression and severe schizophrenia was the amount of sound and air that seeped in. #Quote by Tracy Thompson
Differences quotes by Nicholas Day
#159. Over and over again, cross-cultural research on infancy teaches the exact same lesson: infants can tolerate - and thrive under - care that most any Western parent would assume would end very badly. #Quote by Nicholas Day
Differences quotes by Eric Cantor
#160. It is my hope that I can stand before you in two years and report back that our side, as well as the president's, found within us the ability to set differences aside, to provide relief to so many millions of Americans who simply want their life to work again. #Quote by Eric Cantor
Differences quotes by Bill Vaughan

Differences quotes by Michael J. Fox
#163. But the key to our marriage is the capacity to give each other a break. And to realize that it's not how our similarities work together; it's how our differences work together. #Quote by Michael J. Fox

Differences quotes by Joyce Carol Oates
#166. If you're living with a scientist, you see the world differently than you do with a humanist. It's in some ways very subtle, the differences in perceiving reality. #Quote by Joyce Carol Oates
Differences quotes by Gertrude Stein
#167. After a while I murmured to Picasso that I liked his portrait of Gertrude Stein. Yes, he said, everybody says that she does not look like it but that does not make any difference, she will, he said. #Quote by Gertrude Stein
Differences quotes by Charles Bukowski
#168. For me
obedience to another is the decay of self.
for though every being is similar
each being is different

under one law
degrades each self. #Quote by Charles Bukowski

Differences quotes by Dash Mihok
#171. When they [young people] believe they are the difference! That their voice matters and to use the incredible power each one of them has. I work with an amazing young man, Jaylen Arnold, who started a foundation and a movement to educate people about tolerance and to stop bullying when he was eight years old. He never ceases to inspire me. #Quote by Dash Mihok
Differences quotes by Cass R. Sunstein
#172. They suggest that with respect to facts, partisan differences are much less sharp than they seem - and that political polarization is often an artifact of the survey setting. #Quote by Cass R. Sunstein

Differences quotes by Tony Robbins
#174. The difference between those who fail to achieve their goals in life and those who succeed is the difference between those who cannot put themselves in a supportive state and those who can consistently put themselves in a state that supports them in their achievements. #Quote by Tony Robbins
Differences quotes by Seth Shostak
#175. No heating system can deliver perfectly uniform temperatures throughout a house, and drafts can magnify the perceived difference in temperatures. Try walking around with a thermometer. #Quote by Seth Shostak
Differences quotes by Graham Greene
#176. I write about situations that are common, universal might be more correct, in which my characters are involved and from which only faith can redeem them, though often the actual manner of the redemption is not immediately clear. They sin, but there is no limit to God's mercy and because this is important, there is a difference between not confessing in fact, and the complacent and the pious may not realize it. #Quote by Graham Greene
Differences quotes by Swati Kumar
#177. We gradually accepted each other with our strengths and weaknesses. And now, I think, we have started to enjoy our differences more #Quote by Swati Kumar
Differences quotes by Peter Wohlleben
#178. Students at the instituted for Environmental Research at RWTH Aachen discovered something amazing about photosynthesis in undisturbed beech forests. Apparently, the trees synchronize their performance so that they are all equally successful. And that is not what one would expect. Each beech tree grows in a unique location, and conditions can vary greatly in just a few yards. The soil can be stony or loose. It can retain a great deal of water or almost no water. It can be full of nutrients or extremely barren. Accordingly, each tree experiences different growing conditions; therefore, each tree grows more quickly or more slowly and produces more or less sugar or wood, and thus you would expect every tree to be photosynthesizing at a different rate.

And that's what makes the research results so astounding. The rate of photosynthesis is the same for all the trees. The trees, it seems, are equalizing differences between the strong and the weak. Whether they are thick or thin, all members of the same species are using light to produce the same amount of sugar per leaf. This equalization is taking place underground through the roots. There's obviously a lively exchange going on down there. Whoever has an abundance of sugar hands some over; whoever is running short gets help. Once again, fungi are involved. Their enormous networks act as gigantic redistribution mechanisms. It's a bit like the way social security systems operate to ensure individual members of society don' #Quote by Peter Wohlleben
Differences quotes by James F. Cooper
#179. We can all perceive the difference between ourselves and our inferiors, but when it comes to a question of the difference between us and our superiors we fail to appreciate merits of which we have no proper conceptions. #Quote by James F. Cooper
Differences quotes by Oswald Spengler
#180. The question of whether world peace will ever be possible can only be answered by someone familiar with world history. To be familiar with world history means, however, to know human beings as they have been and always will be. There is a vast difference, which most people will never comprehend, between viewing future history as it will be and viewing it as one might like it to be. Peace is a desire, war is a fact; and history has never paid heed to human desires and ideals ... #Quote by Oswald Spengler
Differences quotes by Jared Diamond
#181. In short, Europe's colonization of Africa had nothing to do with differences between European and African peoples themselves, as white racists assume. Rather, it was due to accidents of geography and biogeography - in particular, to the continents' different areas, axes, and suites of wild plant and animal species. That is, the different historical trajectories of Africa and Europe stem ultimately from differences in real estate. #Quote by Jared Diamond
Differences quotes by Elmar Hussein
#182. Anti-feminism is not sexism. It does not defend the various types of physical, sexual and moral violence against women in the family and society. It does not claim to violate the natural rights of women, which is expressed in the constitution and the legal system as a whole. Instead, anti-feminism supports the innate biological differences among men and women, and as a final result it is directed against gender-blindness -- a unisex trend that artificially increases due to feminism in modern global civilization. To protect the natural rights of women, you don't need to be a feminist, you have to be a humanist who has devoted himself or herself to protecting all humans. #Quote by Elmar Hussein
Differences quotes by Christopher Paolini
#183. They shared a laugh, and then the silence that so often intruded on their discussion asserted itself once again, a gap born of equal parts weariness, familiarity and
conversely
the many differences that fate had created between those who had once gone about lives that were but variations on a single melody. #Quote by Christopher Paolini
Differences quotes by Marc Webb
#184. I think that if you make something that's relatable then people will attach themselves to it. You can express it in a lot of different ways but I feel like as long as you are consistent and fair with the audience they'll engage irrespective of how they self-identify. I think it just gets too complicated to track all those differences between demographics. #Quote by Marc Webb
Differences quotes by W.C. Fields
#185. The work I'm doing on the screen differs from that of anyone else. My comedy is of a peculiar nature ... no writers have been developed along the lines of my type of comedy and this is why I sometimes have differences with writers, supervisors and directors alike. #Quote by W.C. Fields
Differences quotes by Paul Valery

Differences quotes by Hillary Clinton
#188. I did it as first lady, I did it as a senator, I did it as secretary of state, and I know how hard it is. It's not something you do once or twice and then throw your hands up because it is grinding work. But it is necessary work. So I am really welcoming of the opportunity to meet with not only people who agree with me but those who don't to see what we can do to try to bridge the differences. #Quote by Hillary Clinton
Differences quotes by Chad Kroeger
#189. I guess if you split the difference between the U.K. and the U.S., you would get Canada. But that's just due to proximity. Just because of distance, we get a lot more cultural spillover from America. #Quote by Chad Kroeger
Differences quotes by Manisha Sinha
#190. In trying to address the systemic problem of racial injustice, we would do well to look at abolitionism, because here is a movement of radicals who did manage to effect political change. Despite things that radical movements always face, differences and divisions, they were able to actually galvanize the movement and translate it into a political agenda. #Quote by Manisha Sinha
Differences quotes by Siva Vaidhyanathan
#191. Derived from the Greek word anarchos, "without authority," anarchism denies law and considers property to be tyranny. Anarchists believe that human corruption results when differences are enforced through the maintenance of property and authority. Anarchists do not oppose or deny governance as long as it exists without coercion and the threat of violence. They oppose and deny the authority of the centralized state and propose governance through collaboration, deliberation, consensus, and common coordination. Justice can emerge from a sense of common purpose and practices of mutual aid, not the monopoly on violence that the state demands. While anarchism is commonly associated with bloody violence and rage, anarchists believe deeply in an ideology of love. #Quote by Siva Vaidhyanathan
Differences quotes by Daniel Quinn
#192. If you alone found out what the lie was, then you're probably right - it would make no great difference. But if you ALL found out what the lie was, it might conceivably make a very great difference indeed. #Quote by Daniel Quinn
Differences quotes by Rowland S. Miller
#193. In particular, husbands and wives who do poorly at nonverbal communication tend to be dissatisfied with their marriages. Moreover, when such problems occur, it's usually the husband's fault .

In the first ingenious study of this sort, Patricia Noller (1980) found that
husbands in unhappy marriages sent more confusing messages and made more decoding errors than happy husbands did. There were no such differences among the wives, so the poorer communication Noller observed in the distressed marriages appeared to be the husbands' fault. Men in troubled marriages were misinterpreting communications from their wives that were clearly legible to total strangers.

Even worse, such husbands were completely clueless about their mistakes; they assumed that they were doing a fine job communicating with their wives, and were confident that they understood their wives and that their wives understood them. The men were doing a poor job communicating and didn't know it, and that's why they seemed to be at fault. #Quote by Rowland S. Miller
Differences quotes by Swami Vivekananda
#194. There is really no difference between matter, mind and Spirit. They are only different phases of experiencing the One. #Quote by Swami Vivekananda
Differences quotes by Suzy Kassem
#195. When many different creatures are part of the same species, this typically means that they share many similarities over differences and can reproduce among themselves. If humans share more similarities than differences, in desires, needs, and fears, then what is keeping our species apart? If our Creator wanted us to be divided, we would have not been designed to interbreed. #Quote by Suzy Kassem
Differences quotes by Asa Gray
#196. It was implicitly supposed that every living thing was distinctively plant or animal; that there were real and profound differences between the two, if only they could be seized. #Quote by Asa Gray
Differences quotes by Devin Rose
#197. Are the Scriptures clear (perspicuous)? That is, can a literate, faithful Christian read the Bible and understand what God is saying? The answer depends upon how high or low we set the bar for "understanding" and how much or how little we allow for differences in that understanding. For example, setting the bar low, all Christians would agree that the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ came for our salvation by dying on the Cross. Further, the belief that Jesus was both truly God and truly man is a teaching that most Christians throughout history have held, though both of those doctrines were challenged in significant ways in early Christian history. But once we go a bit more in-depth and get into such questions as how Jesus saves a person and what, exactly, one needs to do in order to be saved by Christ, we run into all manner of differences among Christian traditions. #Quote by Devin Rose
Differences quotes by James A. Michener
#198. Being goal-oriented instead of self-oriented is crucial. I know so many people who want to be writers. But let me tell you, they really don't want to be writers. They want to have been writers. They wish they had a book in print. They don't want to go through the work of getting the damn book out. There is a huge difference. #Quote by James A. Michener

#200. Difference between me and people like Murray Rothbard is that, though I want to know what my ideal is, I think I also have to be willing to discuss changes that are less than ideal so long as they point me in that direction. #Quote by Milton Friedman
