Means Quotes
The first sign of corruption in a society that is still alive is that the end justifies the means.
Georges Bernanos
If a thing can be done adequately by means of one, it is superfluous to do it by means of several; for we observe that nature does not employ two instruments if one suffices.
Thomas Aquinas
By means of music the very passions, enjoy themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Someone once accused me of slumming. I don't know what that means. I play basketball. And through that, I get to see a world that is not smart-kid world.
Nick McDonell
Man must never be treated as a means to the end of the state, but always as an end within himself.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If we cut our batch sizes in half, then I guess that at any one time we’d have half the work-in-process on the floor. I guess that means we’d only need half the investment in work-in-process to keep the plant working. If we could work it out with our vendors, we could conceivably cut all our inventories in half, and by cutting our inventories in half, we reduce the amount of cash tied up at any one time, which eases the pressure on cash flow.
Eliyahu M. Goldratt
To follow art for the sake of being a great man, and therefore to cast about continually for some means of achieving position or attracting admiration, is the surest way of ending in total extinction.
John Ruskin
You can’t reach good ends through evil means, because the means represent the seed and the end represents the tree.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
He's our catalyst, he means everything to this team. I think there's not a man in here that doesn't realize that Johnny kind of makes us go. He's very, very important to us. I know he's a tough player and he'll be back out on the field for us soon.
Gabe Kapler
We're not going to waltz into the postseason by any means.
J. M. Roberts
I know that it is a hopeless undertaking to debate about fundamental value judgements. For instance, if someone approves, as a goal, the extirpation of the human race from the earth, one cannot refute such a viewpoint on rational grounds. But if there is agreement on certain goals and values, one can argue rationally about the means by which these objectives may be obtained.
Albert Einstein
A generous person may not have wisdom: but, unlike others, he has the means to gain it.
