Some men can live up to their loftiest ideals without ever going higher than a basement.

All men are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened.

Commitment means that it is possible for a man to yield the nerve center of his consent to a purpose or cause a movement or an ideal which may be more important to him than whether he lives or dies.

My parents' long and happy marriage was a great ideal to live up to but a tough one.

Well marriage is a very important part of our culture and our society. If we want to have a hopeful and decent society we ought to aim for the ideal.

That a marriage ends is less than ideal but all things end under heaven and if temporality is held to be invalidating then nothing real succeeds.

An ideal wife is one who remains faithful to you but tries to be just as charming as if she weren't.

I'm social and I meet people and talk to people but I'm not looking for the ideal person to fit my mold and to raise my family with yet. I'm just kind of doing my thing and learning from the people I'm around and who I cross paths with.

Philosophy is a kind of journey ever learning yet never arriving at the ideal perfection of truth.

I emphasize self-esteem self-confidence and dignity not as an ideal but as a real test of community organization. Without leadership development community organizations do not have staying power.
