Quote by Aldous Huxley

Several excuses are always less convincing than one.

Several excuses are always less convincing than one.

Summary

When faced with a situation where an excuse is needed, it is more effective to provide a single, believable explanation rather than a string of weak justifications. This quote suggests that offering multiple excuses diminishes their credibility and effectiveness. By giving several excuses, the person appears unsure or lacking in confidence, possibly stemming from a desire to cover up the truth. On the other hand, providing one strong excuse implies conviction and sincerity, making it more likely to resonate with others.

Do not depend on the hope of results. You may have to face the fact that your work will be apparently worthless and even achieve no result at all, if not perhaps results opposite to what you expect. As you get used to this idea, you start more and more to concentrate not on the results, but on the value, the rightness, the truth of the work itself. You gradually struggle less and less for an idea and more and more for specific people. In the end, it is the reality of personal relationship that saves everything.

Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferocity, and all the Virtues of Man without his Vices. This praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery, if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just Tribute to the Memory of BOATSWAIN, a Dog.

The task of evolutionary psychology is not to weigh in on human nature, a task better left to others. It is to add the satisfying kind of insight that only science can provide: to connect what we know about human nature with the rest of our knowledge of how the world works, and to explain the largest number of facts with the smallest number of assumptions.

Numai moartea e o for?? la fel de absolut?, dar Ã®n lupta de veacuri dintre aceste dou? puteri, dragostea este cea care ia moartea de gÃ¢t, Ã®i pune genunchiul Ã®n piept, o bate ziua ?i noaptea, o Ã®nvinge Ã®n fiecare prim?var?, o urm?re?te pas cu pas ?i-n fiecare groap? pe care aceasta o sap?, dragostea arunc? s?mÃ¢n?a unei vie?i noi.
