World Geography Quotes

#1. I failed world geography, civics, Spanish and English. And when you fail Spanish and English, they do not consider you bilingual. They may call you bi-ignorant because you can't speak any language. #Quote by Tim Scott

#2. In the U.K. we have the best geography teachers in the world. #Quote by Prince Andrew

#3. It has been said that Canada is bounded 'on the north by gold, on the west by the East, on the east by history - and on the south by friends'.* We hope that will always be the case and we hope it will be the case not only with respect to the United States, your immediate neighbor to the south, but with respect to all your southern neighbors - and ours - who are bound by the great forces of geography and history which are distinctive to the New World. #Quote by Richard M. Nixon

#4. Israel is a colonialist-imp erialist phenomenon. There is no such thing as an Israeli people. Before 1948, world geography knew of no state such as Israel. Israel is the result of an invasion, of aggression. #Quote by Muammar Al-Gaddafi

#5. For within you is the light of the world - the only light that can be shed upon the Path. #Quote by Mabel Collins

#6. It was all right. Nick thought about this and decided that what Alan said was true. He'd never been helpless before, not since he could remember, but now he was and everything was all right.

#7. It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he or she is potentially.

#8. I was born into a world where a lot of people who came to the house were performers. #Quote by Irwin Thomas

#9. With a painting, you're taking basic building blocks and making something that's more complex than what you started with. It is a synthetic process. A photograph does the opposite: It takes the world, and puts an order on it, simplifies it. #Quote by Stephen Shore

#10. There are no boundaries in this struggle to the death. We cannot be indifferent to what happens anywhere in the world, for a victory by any country over imperialism is our victory; just as any country's defeat is a defeat for all of us. #Quote by Ernesto Che Guevara

#13. Picture two lovers side by side who sleep and dream and wake to hold the real and the imagined world body by body, word by word in the wild halo of their thought #Quote by Gwen Harwood

#14. We have to have some rules and regulations in America, or the world would empty out here. #Quote by Gary Ackerman

#15. That he was outnumbered did not matter because the whole world had outnumbered him long ago, and what do numbers matter? #Quote by Ta-Nehisi Coates

#17. When you are old you can look back and see yourself when you are young. It is almost like looking down from heaven. And you see yourself as a young woman, just a big girl really, half awake to the world. You see yourself happy, holding in your arms a good, decent, gentle, beloved young man with the blood keen in his veins, who before long is going to disappear, just disappear, into a storm of hate and flying metal and fire. And you just don't know it. #Quote by Wendell Berry

#18. How blazing and alive the past is. The color of the wallpaper in the bedroom you had as a girl. It's not so much that you've lost your memory, more like you're submerged in it, like you're living in the brightly vivid underwater world of the past. #Quote by Jackie Kay

#19. My point is that life on earth can take care of itself. In the thinking of a human being, a hundred years in a long time. A hundred years ago, we didn't have cars and airplanes and computers and vaccines...It was a whole different world. But to the earth, a hundred years is *nothing*. A million years is *nothing*. This planet lives and breathes on a much vaster scale. We can't imagine its slow and powerful rhythms, and we haven't got the humility to try. We have been residents here for the blink of an eye. If we are gone tomorrow, the earth will not miss us."

- Ian Malcolm #Quote by Michael Crichton

#22. You know what feels good to most of us when these obstacles, stresses and concerns consume us? Eating a dozen, warm chocolate chip cookies.

Sure, there's always a time for chocolate chip cookies, but they aren't a solution to our problems. Neither is skipping the gym. Abandoning yet another weight loss attempt because life got too hard shouldn't be an option. It's no doubt annoying to have to count calories and keep burning calories when the world is going to hell around us, but it's important to keep perspective if you're actually going to be successful in losing weight. The perspective is that even through the pain and discomfort from a death, move, job loss, or general stress might last weeks, months, or even years, it is all temporary. Good health is, too. #Quote by Shawn Weeks

#24. Nearly everything I do is part of a master plan to make me the most important entertainer in the world. #Quote by Bobby Darin

#25. I should have paid greater attention to my mentor in graduate school, Samuel Huntington, who once explained that Americans never recognize that, in the developing world, the key is not the kind of government - communist, capitalist, democratic, dictatorial - but the degree of government. That absence of government is what we are watching these days, from Libya to Iraq to Syria.
("Why they still hate us, 13 years later," Washington Post, 09/05/2014) #Quote by Fareed Zakaria

#26. Life feels like a game of Snakes and Ladders, but without any ladders. #Quote by David Moody

#27. Network marketing is based purely on relationship selling, which is the state of the art in selling today. Small and large companies throughout the country and the world are realizing that individuals selling to their friends and associates is the future of sales, because the critical element in buying is trust. #Quote by Brian Tracy

#28. Science should be the most fun job on the planet. You get to ask questions about the world around you and go out and seek the answers. Not to have fun doing that is crazy. #Quote by Craig Venter

#29. Intellect without humanity is not good enough ... what the world is suffering from at the present time is not so much an overabundance of intellect as an insufficiency of humanity. #Quote by Ashley Montagu

#30. Dream of a world where poverty is history, dream of a world where we don't spend those obscene billions on arms, knowing full well that a tiny fraction of those budgets of death would ensure that children everywhere had clean water to drink, could afford the cheap inoculations against preventable diseases, would have good schools, adequate healthcare and decent homes. #Quote by Desmond Tutu

#31. People talk about love and it seems like a cliche but it's a real thing - the more love we spread around the world the more it's going to change lives. #Quote by Ben Vereen

#32. To me, the best zombie movies aren't the splatter fests of gore and violence with goofy characters and tongue in cheek antics. Good zombie movies show us how messed up we are, they make us question our station in society ... and our society's station in the world. They show us gore and violence and all that cool stuff too ... but there's always an undercurrent of social commentary and thoughtfulness. #Quote by Robert Kirkman

#33. The failures are not due to any injustice, but to an inner defect. It is always caused by the person himself. Yes, I know, you think you are doing an act of justice. But they will only suck you dry, wear out your energy, nourish themselves on your ideas. After being the most compassionate man in the world, I say to you today: Let the weak ones die, let them commit suicide. #Quote by Anais Nin

#34. Billy was fascinated by the television. At its most basic level, it occupied his time and shut out the demons of isolation. This was another irony because, for so long, he had shunned the tube for a similar purpose - to prevent it from bombarding his brain with demons of banality. However, each time he turned the machine on, he began to discover a world of assorted delights, as well as gain insight into the insidious manner in which this medium was shaping the mass psyche. If nothing else, he learned there was nothing innocuous about it. #Quote by Jim Carroll

#35. I'm into zombie movies like 'World War Z' and the shows 'Breaking Bad' and 'The Walking Dead.' #Quote by Phillip Phillips

#36. Every beautiful thing in the world is rooted in some kind of pain. #Quote by Bryant McGill

#37. Did you ever get the feeling that the world is a tuxedo and you're a pair of brown shoes? #Quote by George Gobel

#38. Following the prophet is always right! #Quote by Carol F. McConkie

#39. There are people like me who are not there yet, who are still the eagle flying high right now, still experiencing more in the world and growing as a result of that - and that is my journey. #Quote by Karan Bajaj

#40. The priesthood of God has become the eminent power for good in the world. We are no longer a handful of people on the fringes of society. This great power for good has been entrusted to us, and we must not weaken it by failing in our responsibilities. #Quote by James E. Faust

#41. In this tour around the world I was not interested in contemporary buildings because I had seen contemporary buildings actually until they came out of my ears in a sense. #Quote by Minoru Yamasaki

#42. I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She'll hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
#Quote by Music Sales Corporation

#43. The Lord created me in the beginning of his ways, for his works; before the world he established me, in the beginning, before he made the earth, before he made the depths, before the mountains were settled, #Quote by Eusebius

#44. I live in a world were businesses have become "private corporations."
Assassinations have become "target neutralisations."
Being unfaithful now is "to sleep around ... " How cute.
The banks taking your money is now called a "stimulus package."
I can go on and on and on ... and that really saddens me. #Quote by Non Nomen

#45. What do they sing, the last birds
coasting down the twilight,
banking
across woods filled with darkness, their
frayed wings
curved on the world like a lover's arms
which form, night after night, in sleep,
an irremediable absence? #Quote by Galway Kinnell

#46. Torturous screams bounced around in his head, whimpers and cries of pain and lust clouding his mind, overbearing and foreboding. Sinning surrounded him, suffocating him, imprisoning him like a straightjacket. He tried to drive the noise away, to force it back and focus on something else, but the ruckus never stopped, never let up. It hindered his connection to the world outside the gates, muffling everything else to mere background noise. Blah, blah, motherfucking blah. This was his Hell: the inescapable torment he endured all alone. He craved silence but was awarded chaos. Instead of light and vitality, he existed in utter darkness. His Archangel nature helped him take it all in stride, but it was never easy, even for the one the world saw as the enemy. Satan #Quote by J.M. Darhower

#47. The world is split into two halves: the bacon, and the bacon eaters. #Quote by Nick Offerman
