Deny Gods More Our Ourselves Supply Wants

Quote Author

Horace
Roman - Poet
65 BC - 8 BC

The more a man denies himself, the more he shall receive from heaven. Naked, I seek the camp of those who covet nothing. [Lat., Quanto quisque sibi plura negaverit, A dis plura feret. Nil cupientium Nudus castra peto.]

Horace

We accomplish more by prudence than by force. [Lat., Plura consilio quam vi perficimus.]

Tacitus

Every vice makes its guilt the more conspicuous in proportion to the rank of the offender. [Lat., Omne animi vitium tanto conspectius in se Crimen habet, quanto major qui peccat habetur.]

Juvenal

The more we keep our mind on ourselves and our wants, the more unhappy we become. God wants us to love others and meet their needs.

Joyce Meyer

Man is his own worst enemy. [Lat., Nihil inimicius quam sibi ipse.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero

The fewer our wants the more we resemble the Gods.

Socrates

Data-driven predictions can succeed-and they can fail. It is when we deny our role in the process that the odds of failure rise. Before we demand more of our data, we need to demand more of ourselves.

Nate Silver

Let a man practise the profession he best knows. [Lat., Quam quisque novit artem, in hac se exerceat.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero

The more we search for ourselves, the less likely we are to find ourselves; and the more we search for God, and to serve our fellow-men, the more profoundly will we become acquainted with ourselves, and the more inwardly assured. This is one of the great spiritual laws of life.

Shoghi Effendi

You want supply to always be full, and you use price to basically either bring more supply on or get more supply off, or get more demand in the system or get some demand out.

Travis Kalanick

We exist for ourselves, perhaps, and at times we even have a glimmer of who we are, but in the end we can never be sure, and as our lives go on, we become more and more opaque to ourselves, more and more aware of our own incoherence. No one can cross the boundary into another – for the simple reason that no one can gain access to himself.

Paul Auster

Every man should stay within his own fortune. [Lat., Intera fortunam quisque debet manere suam.]

Ovid

No more gods, no more faith, no more timid holding back. Let us blast out of our old forms, our ignorance, our weakness, and our mortality. The future belongs to posthumanity.

Max More

Selfishness is like a disease that suffocates our capacity to love. While love asks us to deny ourselves for the sake of another, selfishness demands we put ourselves first at their expense. When we choose to be self-centered, we become less kind and content—more needy, sensitive, and demanding. More unsatisfiable. Moodiness and impatience, laziness and irresponsibility, are only selfishness in disguise.

Stephen Kendrick

Every man's credit is proportioned to the money which he has in his chest. [Lat., Quantum quisque sua nummorum condit in area, Tantum habet et fidei.]

Juvenal

He is a great simpleton who imagines that the chief power of wealth is to supply wants. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it creates more wants than it supplies.

William Wirt
