  • The one reasonable goal of social life was affirmed to be the creation of a world of awakened, of sensitive, intelligent, and mutually understanding personalities, banded together for the common purpose of exploring the universe and developing the human spirit's manifold potentialities.

    Olaf Stapledon (1931). “Last and First Men, & Star Maker: Two Science-fiction Novels”, Courier Corporation
  • It is the paradox of life that the way to miss pleasure is to seek it first. The very first condition of lasting happiness is that a life should be full of purpose, aiming at something outside self. As a matter of experience, we find that true happiness comes in seeking other things, in the manifold activities of life, in the healthful outgoing of all human powers.

    Hugh Black (1901). “Culture and Restraint”
  • Adventure is humdrum and routine unless one assimilates it, unless one relates it to a central core which grows within and gives it contour and significance. Raw experience is empty, just as empty as the forecastle of a whaler as in a chamber of a counting house; for it is not what one does, but in a manifold sense, what one realizes that keeps existence from being vain and trivial.

  • I spent more hours than I can count a quiet witness to the highly mannered, manifold expressions of life that grace our planet. It is something so bright, loud, weird and delicate as to stupefy the senses.

    Yann Martel (2007). “Life of Pi (Illustrated): Deluxe Illustrated Edition”, p.30, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
  • And for our unparalleled ingratitude to that Adorable Being Who has seated us in a land irradiated by the cheering beams of the Gospel of Jesus Christ ... let us fall prostrate before offended Deity, confess sincerely and penitently our manifold sins and our unworthiness of the least of His Divine favors, fervently implore His pardon through the merits of our mediator.

  • The soul passeth from form to form; and the mansions of her pilgrimage are manifold.

    Soul   Form   Pilgrimage  
  • We were born to die; we were born to endure, on the way to death, sorrow-sorrow in manifold shapes.

    Sorrow   Shapes   Way  
    Cynthia Ozick (2017). “Art and Ardor”, p.258, Atlantic Books
  • Most observers of the French Revolution, especially the clever and noble ones, have explained it as a life-threatening and contagious illness. They have remained standing with the symptoms and have interpreted these in manifold and contrary ways. Some have regarded it as a merely local ill. The most ingenious opponents have pressed for castration. They well noticed that this alleged illness is nothing other than the crisis of beginning puberty.

    Clever   Opponents   Way  
    "Pollen and Fragments". Book by Novalis. Fragment No. 105, 1798.
  • There is then creative reading as well as creative writing. When the mind is braced by labor and invention, the page of whatever book we read becomes luminous with manifold allusion. Every sentence is doubly significant, and the sense of our author is as broad as the world.

    Book   Reading   Writing  
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1981). “The Portable Emerson: New Edition”, p.66, Penguin
  • Every physical quality admired by men in women is in direct connection with the manifold functions of women for the propagation of the species.

    James Joyce (2016). “A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN (Awakening of Stephen Dedalus): An Autobiographical Novel from the Author of Ulysses, Finnegans Wake, Dubliners, Stephen Hero, Chamber Music & Exiles”, p.173, e-artnow
  • The ethical manifold, conceived of as unified, furnishes, or rather is, the ideal of the whole.

  • No one in this country need go hungry, and alleviating the problem is primarily a matter of readjusting our priorities. In both the government and the private sector, self-interest has displaced the ideal of community that made this country great. The old world view of "us, we, our" has been replaced by "I, me, mine." The reasons for this are manifold and complex, but at the end of the day, we need to remember that, if one of us is suffering needlessly, all of us are diminished.

  • A child is a person in whom all possibilities are present - present now at this very moment - not to be educed after many years and efforts manifold on the part of the educator

    Children   Years   Effort  
    Charlotte Mason (2013). “The Original Home School Series”, p.456, Simon and Schuster
  • But the branches of industry are so multifarious, the divisions of labour so minutes and manifold, that it seems at first almost impossible to reduce them to any system

  • We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we, from time to time, most grievously have committed, by thought, word and deed.

    Wickedness   Deeds   Sin  
    "Royal couple to acknowledge 'sins'". www.cnn.com. April 7, 2005.
  • Each finite creature can reflect only a fraction of the divine nature; thus, in the diversity of His creatures, God's infinity, unity and oneness appear to be broken into an effulfgence of manifold rays.

  • Physio-philosophy has to show how, and in accordance indeed with what laws, the Material took its origin; and, therefore, how something derived its existence from nothing. It has to portray the first periods of the world's development from nothing; how the elements and heavenly bodies originated; in what method by self-evolution into higher and manifold forms, they separated into minerals, became finally organic, and in Man attained self-consciousness.

  • Meditative state is the highest state of existence. So long as there is desire, no real happiness can come. It is only the contemplative, witness-like study of objects that brings to us real enjoyment and happiness. The animal has its happiness in the senses, the man in his intellect, and the god in spiritual contemplation. It is only to the soul that has attained to this contemplative state that the world really becomes beautiful. To him who desires nothing, and does not mix himself up with them, the manifold changes of nature are one panorama of beauty and sublimity.

    Swami Vivekananda (2016). “Raja Yoga: Conquering the Internal Nature”, p.53, Advaita Ashrama
  • In Hinduism, Shiva the Cosmic Dancer, is perhaps the most perfect personification of the dynamic universe. Through his dance, Shiva sustains the manifold phenomena in the world, unifying all things by immersing them in his rhythm and making them participate in the dance - a magnificent image of the dynamic unity of the Universe.

    Dance   Perfect   Unity  
    Fritjof Capra (2010). “The Tao of Physics: An Exploration of the Parallels Between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism”, p.174, Shambhala Publications
  • The truth us that other systems of geometry are possible, yet after all, these other systems are not spaces but other methods of space measurements. There is one space only, though we may conceive of many different manifolds, which are contrivances or ideal constructions invented for the purpose of determining space.

  • Direct experience is inherently too limited to form an adequate foundation either for theory or for application. At the best it produces an atmosphere that is of value in drying and hardening the structure of thought. The greater value of indirect experience lies in its greater variety and extent. History is universal experience, the experience not of another, but of many others under manifold conditions.

    B.H. Liddell Hart (2015). “Why Don't We Learn from History?”, p.8, Lulu Press, Inc
  • The first attempts to consider the behavior of so-called "random neural nets" in a systematic way have led to a series of problems concerned with relations between the "structure" and the "function" of such nets. The "structure" of a random net is not a clearly defined topological manifold such as could be used to describe a circuit with explicitly given connections. In a random neural net, one does not speak of "this" neuron synapsing on "that" one, but rather in terms of tendencies and probabilities associated with points or regions in the net.

    "The bulletin of mathematical biophysics" by Anatol Rapoport, (pp. 145-157), 1948.
  • Man is a being of varied, manifold and inconstant nature. And woman, by God, is a match for him.

    Men   Manifold  
    Dorothy Dunnett (1999). “The Disorderly Knights: The Lymond Chronicles Book Three”, p.467, Penguin UK
  • If unbridled licence of speech and writing be granted to all, nothing will remain sacred and inviolate; even the highest and truest mandates of nature, justly held to be the common and noblest heritage of the human race, will not be spared. Thus, truth being gradually obscured by darkness, pernicious and manifold error, as too often happens, will easily prevail.

    Writing   Errors   Race  
    Pope Leo XIII (1990). “A Light in the Heavens: Great Encyclical Letters of Pope Leo XIII”, p.108, TAN Books
  • When spring is here the sketcher begins to look over his equipment and relishes in anticipation the soothing hours he will spend in the open, warmed by the sun, fanned by the breeze, charmed by the manifold delights of nature.

    Spring   Looks   Delight  
  • If speculation tends thus to a terrific unity, in which all things are absorbed, action tends directly back to diversity. The first is the course or gravitation of mind; the second is the power of nature. Nature is manifold. The unity absorbs, and melts or reduces. Nature opens and creates. These two principles reappear and interpenetrate all things, all thought; the one, the many.

    Two   Diversity   Unity  
  • Sickness disgusts us with death, and we wish to get well, which is a way of wishing to live. But weakness and suffering, with manifold bodily woes, soon discourage the invalid from trying to regain ground: he tires of those respites which are but snares, of that faltering strength, those ardors cut short, and that perpetual lying in wait for the next attack.

    Marguerite Yourcenar (1957). “Hadrian's Memoirs”
  • Many of us have a tendency to forget the Gracious Hand which has preserved our nation, enriched it, strengthened it. Many of us imagine in the foolishness of pride, that our manifold blessings are due not to God's goodness, but to our own wisdom and virtue. Too many of us have been so drunk with self-sufficiency as no longer to feel the need of prayer.

    Wisdom   Prayer   Pride  
    Ezra Taft Benson (1988). “The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson”, Bookcraft Pubs
  • Manifold subsequent experience has led to a truer appreciation and a more moderate estimate of the importance of the dependence of one living being upon another.

    "The Edinburgh Review: Or Critical Journal, vol. 111". Journal by Sydney Smith, Lord Francis Jeffrey Jeffrey, William Empson, Macvey Napier, Sir George Cornewall Lewis, Henry Reeve, Arthur Ralph Douglas Elliot (Hon.), Harold Cox, p. 494, 1860.
  • The only compensation which war offers for its manifold mischiefs, is in the great personal qualities to which it gives scope and occasion.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1911). “Works: English traits, Conduct of life”
