Criticizing to destroy is easy, thinking in order to build is much more difficult to achieve

Tariq Ramadan

To reverse the effects of civilization would destroy the dreams of a lot of people. There's no way around it. We can talk all we want about sustainability, but there's a sense in which it doesn't matter that these people's dreams are based on, embedded in, intertwined with, and formed by an inherently destructive economic and social system. Their dreams are still their dreams. What right do I -- or does anyone else -- have to destroy them. At the same time, what right do they have to destroy the world?

Derrick Jensen

The toughest thing about the power of trust is that it's very difficult to build and very easy to destroy. The essence of trust building is to emphasize the similarities between you and the customer.

Thomas J. Watson

Bad habits are easy to slip into and good habits are very easy to build. Don't allow yourself to do something that can destroy you.

Milind Soman

I feel like what we love to do is solve problems. If it's easy to solve, we find a more difficult one. There's always a way. In our world, we can build stuff. We can build more sets than you could ever build in live-action. We can build more props just for custom angles or perspectives. We'll build special trees for that, paint a sky. There's really no limitations, except that you run out of time and money at some point.

Henry Selick

It is so easy to break down and destroy. The heroes are those who make peace and build.

Nelson Mandela

To destroy a man is difficult, almost as difficult as to create one: it has not been easy, nor quick, but you Germans have succeeded. Here we are, docile under your gaze; from our side you have nothing more to fear; no acts of violence, no words of defiance, not even a look of judgment.

Primo Levi

It's easy to attack and destroy an act of creation. It's a lot more difficult to perform one.

Chuck Palahniuk

It is easy to overthrow a government but very difficult to build a new one.

Pearl S. Buck

The richest people in the world build networks. Everyone else is trained to look for work, that's why there are two types of people today. Those who build their own dreams and those who build someone else dreams.
