Realism is in the work when idealism is in the soul, and it is only through idealism that we resume contact with reality.

Henri Bergson

Idealism without realism is impotent. Realism without idealism is immoral.

Richard M. Nixon

Art is beauty, and every exposition of art, whether it be music, painting, or the drama, should be subservient to that one great end. As long as nature is a means to the attainment of beauty, so-called realism is necessary and permissable [sic], but it must be realism enhanced by idealism and uplifted by the spirit of an inner life or purpose.

Julia Marlowe

A visionary company doesn't simply balance between idealism and profitability: it seeks to be highly idealistic and highly profitable. A visionary company doesn't simply balance between preserving a tightly held core ideology and stimulating vigorous change and movement; it does both to an extreme.

James C. Collins

Women are the only realists; their whole object in life is to pit their realism against the extravagant, excessive, and occasionally drunken idealism of men.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

There is no realism without an element of idealism.

Henry A. Kissinger

Idealism and realism meet in the actual.

Mary Parker Follett

We want Realism's wealth of experience and Symbolism's depth of feeling. All art is a problem of balance between two opposites.

Cesare Pavese

A visionary company doesn't simply balance between idealism and profitability: it seeks to be highly idealistic and highly profitable.

James C. Collins

Idealism leads to realism if it is strictly thought out.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

I have always thought that foreign-policy idealism has to be tempered with realism.

William Hague

My position is that the rate should align with the level of economic development. Because it is always about a balance, a balance of interests, and it should reflect this balance. A balance between those who sell something across the border and those who benefit from a low rate, as well as a balance between the interests of those who buy, who need the rate to be higher. A balance between national producers, for example, agricultural producers who are interested in it.
