Famous quotes containing the word results:

    Being a parent is unlike any previous job—the results of any one action are not clearly visible for a long time, if at all.
    —Anonymous Mother. As quoted in Between Generations by Ellen Galinsky, ch. 2 (1981)

    Social improvement is attained more readily by a concern with the quality of results than with the purity of motives.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    There is not a single rule, however plausible, and however firmly grounded in epistemology, that is not violated at some time or other. It becomes evident that such violations are not accidental events, they are not results of insufficient knowledge or of inattention which might have been avoided. On the contrary, we see that they are necessary for progress.
    Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
