Every human endeavor, however singular it seems, involves the whole human race.

Jean-Paul Sartre

It seems to me an utterly futile task to prescribe rules and limitations for the conduct of war. War is not a game; hence one cannot wage war by rules as one would in playing games. Our fight must be against war itself. The masses of people can most effectively fight the institution of war by establishing an organization for the absolute refusal of military service.

Albert Einstein

If men make war in slavish observance of rules, they will fail. No rules will apply to conditions of war as different as those which exist in Europe and America...War is progressive, because all the instruments and elements of war are progressive.

Ulysses S. Grant

Compared to war, all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance. God help me, I do love it so.

George S. Patton

There are rules to luck, not everything is chance for the wise; luck can be helped by skill.

Baltasar Gracian

In every human endeavor, persistence is everything.

Joan Rivers

The only other human endeavor on which there's more 16-millimeter film than pro football is World War II, and we're going to pass that in 2013.

Steve Sabol

Every human soul is of infinite value, eternal, free; no human being, therefore, is so placed as not to have within his reach, in himself and others, objects adequate to infinite endeavor.

Arthur Balfour

Every human endeavor has leaders and followers, and your job as a leader is to inspire.

Colin Powell

Mistakes are made in every other human endeavor. Why should nuclear weapons be exempt?

Arnold Schwarzenegger

War has rules, mud wrestling has rules - politics has no rules.

Ross Perot

Luck is in every part of China. Many Chinese stores and restaurants have the word 'luck' in their names. The idea is that, just by using the word 'luck' in names of things, you can attract more of it. I think that's true in my life as well. You attract luck because you go after it.

Amy Tan

In almost every area of human endeavor, the practice improves over time. That hasn't been the case for teaching.

Bill Gates

I'll wager there isn't a human being on earth who doesn't believe in luck, however rational they pretend to be in public life. In reality, most of human life is luck - and, of course, its darker, more prevalent opposite. One only has to live long enough to experience both.

Lawrence Osborne

In war, where imperfect intelligence, the threat of a catastrophe, and the number of accidents are incomparably greater than any other human endeavor, the amount of missed opportunities, so to speak, is therefore bound to be greater.

Carl von Clausewitz

I believe every one of us has a gift, I believe every one of us human beings has a path in this life, and it is up to each of us, through circumstance, through knowledge, through awareness, through luck - and luck does play a huge part - to hopefully achieve that path and walk the path and realize the gift.
