I actually find novels that are determined to be funny at every turn quite oppressive.

The first of all commodities to be exchanged is labour and the freedom of man consists only in the exercise of the right to determine for himself in what manner his labour shall be employed and how he will dispose of its products.

True freedom is the capacity for acting according to one's true character to be altogether one's self to be self-determined and not subject to outside coercion.

I was determined to achieve the total freedom that our history lessons taught us we were entitled to no matter what the sacrifice.

The Ego is partly free. partly determined and reaches fuller freedom by approaching the Individual who is most free: God.

No cause is left but the most ancient of all the one in fact that from the beginning of our history has determined the very existence of politics the cause of freedom versus tyranny.

A man may be a pessimistic determinist before lunch and an optimistic believer in the will's freedom after it.

From the described experiment it is clear that the mere act of eating the food even not reaching the stomach determines the stimulation of the gastric glands.

It is the food which you furnish to your mind that determines the whole character of your life.

The value and utility of any experiment are determined by the fitness of the material to the purpose for which it is used and thus in the case before us it cannot be immaterial what plants are subjected to experiment and in what manner such experiment is conducted.

Your net worth to the world is usually determined by what remains after your bad habits are subtracted from your good ones.

Will dissent be permitted? The answer to that question will determine whether the society is a free society or a fear society.

But with the right kind of coaching and determination you can accomplish anything and the biggest accomplishment that I feel I got from the film was overcoming that fear.

I do not believe the picture that some people paint of Scottish towns dependent on welfare. Every time I come here I meet people who are determined to get into work. Who with the right help are desperate to get off benefits support their family and set an example for their children.

One person may need (or want) more leisure another more work one more adventure another more security and so on. It is this diversity that makes a country indeed a state a city a church or a family healthy. 'One-size-fits-all ' and that size determined by the State has a name and that name is 'slavery.'

I love where I'm from. I don't live there because of the circumstances but all my family is there. It's what's inside it's not what's outside that determines the culture and the feeling.

Children in a family are like flowers in a bouquet: there's always one determined to face in an opposite direction from the way the arranger desires.

Faith is an act of rational choice which determines us to act as if certain things were true and in the confident expectation that they will prove to be true.

The balance between faith and reason is for the determination of each individual and of the people as a whole not of unauthorized government officials uttering impious humbug as they arbitrarily try to define that balance.

A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.

Twenty million more have Chronic Kidney Disease where patients experience a gradual deterioration of kidney function the end result of which is kidney failure.

In Britain by contrast we still think that class plays a part in determining a person's life chances so we're less inclined to celebrate success and less inclined to condemn failure. The upshot is that it's much easier to be a failure in Britain than it is in America.

Before this government came to power many failing schools were simply allowed to drift on in a pattern of continuing failure. The government is determined to break that pattern and is successfully doing so.

Americans who make more of marrying for love than any other people also break up more of their marriages but the figure reflects not so much the failure of love as the determination of people not to live without it.
