I resolve never to make any resolutions because all resolutions are restrictions for the future. All resolutions are imprisonments.

Rajneesh

Shall I show you the sinews of a philosopher? What sinews are those? - A will undisappointed; evils avoided; powers daily exercised; careful resolutions; unerring decisions.

Epictetus

Nature's hasty conscience.

Maria Edgeworth

Movies and I just equally avoided each other at certain times in my life, you know?

Summer Phoenix

Let it judge that nothing is either bad or good which can happen equally to the bad man and the good. For that which happens equally to him who lives contrary to nature and to him who lives according to nature, is neither according to nature nor contrary to nature.

Marcus Aurelius

They, therefore, who are hasty in their devotions and think a little will do, are strangers both to the nature of devotion and the nature of man; they do not know that they are to learn to pray, and that prayer is to be learnt as they learn other things, by frequency, constancy, and perseverance.

William Law

It is easy now to break the vows. It is even easier to part your ways if vows haven't been taken.

Zygmunt Bauman

New vows to plight, and plighted vows to break.

John Dryden

Man is merely a frequent effect, a monstrosity is a rare one, but both are equally natural, equally inevitable, equally part of the universal and general order. And what is strange about that? All creatures are involved in the life of all others, consequently every species... all nature is in a perpetual state of flux. Every animal is more or less a human being, every mineral more or less a plant, every plant more or less an animal... There is nothing clearly defined in nature.

John Dewey

I don't make resolutions, because resolutions seem so ephemeral and transient to go away.

Ian K. Smith

I dont make resolutions, because resolutions seem so ephemeral and transient to go away.

Ian K. Smith

People know that pain is part of our nature, that it cannot be avoided and that it should not be avoided. But capitalism in this country is focused on the idea 1) that life can and should be absolutely beautiful; 2) that beauty can be defined according to an ironclad objective standard; 3) that beauty can be held onto forever if only you do the right things perfectly enough; and 4) that it can be purchased.

Rick Moody

Youth means love, Vows can't change nature, priests are only men.

Robert Browning

Resolutions are a wonderful thing if we can keep them, but many resolutions go by the wayside because we have not done anything different with our mindset.

Monica Johnson

You make New Year's resolutions. And you make them into the teeth of old resolutions which were different. Then you don't keep your new resolutions and you tell yourself you are weak-willed. You aren't weak-willed, you are simply obeying yourself as of yesterday.

L. Ron Hubbard

I took the marriage vows very seriously, as did Chris. You're there - sickness, health - I mean, really. And you don't take those vows until you can say it and mean it.

Dana Reeve
