Pastoral Resources

I wrote a great deal... but very little of any importance; there are not more than four of five papers which I can still remember with some satisfaction.

This was the period when I used all the influence I had to get the British to abandon their export trade, and as much as possible convert all of their manufacturing facilities to the immediate needs of the war, including civilian, as well as military requirements.

There are very important and practical issues raised by following this alternative route which says, let's look to material conditions, to the systems of production, to the needs that human beings have, and to competing alternative solutions to the satisfaction of those needs.

I hope that they are finding satisfaction. I'm in no way making a judgment. I know it doesn't make me happy.

A complacent satisfaction with present knowledge is the chief bar to the pursuit of knowledge.

We must face the fact that the preservation of individual freedom is incompatible with a full satisfaction of our views of distributive justice.

Odd, the years it took to learn one simple fact: that the prize just ahead, the next job, publication, love affair, marriage always seemed to hold the key to satisfaction but never, in the longer run, sufficed.

Color is a very critical thing. I've found that architects don't like colors. Engineers too. And so somebody has to stand in. Because this is the finish of it. It is the emotional part of a structure. I had great satisfaction in doing that.

They have most satisfaction in themselves, and consequently the sweetest relish of their creature comforts.

Among the reasons for this was the fact that the U.S.A. is one mass market. It is only when you have a mass market that large-scale manufacturing which involves very substantial expenditures can be justified.

The sounder your argument, the more satisfaction you get out of it.

Our desires always disappoint us; for though we meet with something that gives us satisfaction, yet it never thoroughly answers our expectation.

It is books that teach us to refine our pleasures when young, and to recall them with satisfaction when we are old.

Renewable energy also creates more jobs than other sources of energy - most of these will be created in the struggling manufacturing sector, which will pioneer the new energy future by investment that allows manufacturers to retool and adopt new technologies and methods.

With millions of family wage manufacturing jobs lost since 2001, we need an energy bill that takes bold action to tap into American ingenuity in order to lead the world in new clean energy technology, rather than playing catch-up to the Japanese, Danish, and Germans.

Don't just work for the money; that will bring only limited satisfaction.

Furniture manufacturing in plastics requires very costly machinery, which the Danish market is not big enough to justify. Or so they say. But show me a plastics manufacturer who dares to take on the experiment.

I can't get no satisfaction.

No money is better spent than what is laid out for domestic satisfaction.

Every man judges his own happiness and satisfaction with life in terms of his possession or lack of possession of those things that he considers worthwhile and valuable.
