Nihilism is but the other side of conventionalism; its creed consists of negations of the current so-called positive values, to which it remains bound.

Hannah Arendt

I just don't think it's healthy to only have one pursuit, even if it's a seemingly positive thing. You can do a positive thing to the nth degree, and it turns on you at some point. You become stuck.

George Harrar

Whenever convictions are not arrived at by direct contact with the world and the objects themselves, but indirectly through a critique of the opinions of others, the processes of thinking are impregnated with ressentiment. The establishment of "criteria" for testing the correctness of opinions then becomes the most important task. Genuine and fruitful criticism judges all opinions with reference to the object itself. Ressentiment criticism, on the contrary, accepts no "object" that has not stood the test of criticism

Max Scheler

A genius is a person who is seeing further and probing deeper than other people has a different set of ethical valuations from their and has energy enough to give effect to this extra vision and its valuations in whatever manner best suits his or her

George Bernard Shaw

Ordinarily logic is divided into the examination of ideas, judgments, arguments, and methods. The two latter are generally reduced to judgments, that is, arguments are reduced to apodictic judgments that such and such conclusions follow from such and such premises, and method is reduced to judgments that prescribe the procedure that should be followed in the search for truth.

Andre-Marie Ampere

Often, a seemingly clear clean beach has a huge amount of hidden litter.

Ben Fogle

Ressentiment is a self-poisoning of the mind which has quite definite causes and consequences. It is a lasting mental attitude, caused by the systematic repression of certain emotions and affects which, as such are normal components of human nature. Their repression leads to the constant tendency to indulge in certain kinds of value delusions and corresponding value judgments. The emotions and affects primarily concerned are revenge, hatred, malice, envy, the impulse to detract, and spite.

Max Scheler

All moralistic judgments, whether positive or negative, are tragic expressions of unmet needs.

Marshall B. Rosenberg

Devaluations are never easy.

Jeffrey Sachs

Judgments, value judgments concerning life, for or against, can in the last resort never be true: they possess value only as symptoms, they come into consideration only as symptoms - in themselves such judgments are stupidities.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Federal rules and regulations too often become seemingly insurmountable obstacles to simple changes that can have a positive impact.

Cindy Hyde-Smith

To substitute judgments of fact for judgments of value is a sign of pedantic and borrowed criticism.

George Santayana

Often, the most extraordinary opportunities are hidden among the seemingly insignificant events of life. If we do not pay attention to these events, we can easily miss the opportunities.

Jim Rohn

Praxeology - economics - provides no ultimate ethical judgments: it simply furnishes the indispensable data necessary to make such judgments.

Murray Rothbard

When something I can't control happens, I ask myself : where is the hidden gift, where is the positive in this?

Sara Blakely

Conventional compliments often take the form of judgments however positive, and are sometimes offered to manipulate the behavior of others. NVC encourages the expression of appreciation solely for celebration.

Marshall B. Rosenberg
