Consequence Quotes
-
It seems hopelessly improbable that any particular rules accidentally led to the miracle of intelligent life. Nevertheless, this is exactly what most physicists have believed: intelligent life is a purely serendipitous consequence of physical principles that have nothing to do with our own existence.
Leonard Susskind

Madness is not a consequence of uncertainty but of certainty.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
When a thing is bought not for its use but for its costliness, cheapness is no recommendation. As Sismondi remarks, the consequence of cheapening articles of vanity, is not that less is expended on such things, but that the buyers substitute for the cheapened article some other which is more costly, or a more elaborate quality of the same thing; and as the inferior quality answered the purpose of vanity equally well when it was equally expensive, a tax on the article is really paid by nobody: it is a creation of public revenue by which nobody loses.
John Stuart Mill
-
If there is no God, then man and the universe are doomed. Like
prisoners condemned to death, we await our unavoidable execution. There
is no God, and there is no immortality. And what is the consequence of
this? It means that life itself is absurd. It means that the life we
have is without ultimate significance, value, or purpose.
William Lane Craig
-

-

Ben Harper
-
The difficult child is the child who is unhappy. He is at war with himself; and in consequence, he is at war with the world.
Alexander Sutherland Neill
-
Truth has always had many loud proclaimers, but the question is whether a person will in the deepest sense acknowledge the truth, allow it to permeate his whole being, accept all its consequences, and not have an emergency hiding place for himself and a Judas kiss for the consequence.
Soren Kierkegaard
