We look at each one [project] and consider the context - what it is and what it can be - beyond the strictly functional concerns.
Women who were reputed believers began to resort to drugs for producing sterility. They also girded themselves around, so as to expel what was being conceived. For they did not wish to have a child by either slave or by any common fellow - out of concern for their family and their excessive wealth. See what a great impiety the lawless one has advanced! He teaches adultery and murder at the same time!
Conduct is three-fourths of our life and its largest concern.
I don't have any intention to stop. Rock 'n' roll is my main concern.
My concern is never art, but always what art can be used for.
Men whose only concern is other people's opinion of them are like actors who put on a poor performance to win the applause of people of poor taste; some of them would be capable of good acting in front of a good audience. A decent man plays his part to the best of his ability, regardless of the taste of the gallery.
The money is of no concern to me, whatsoever. I started out with nothing.
Exemplary people concern themselves with virtue, small people concern themselves with territory. The ruling class thinks of punishment, the lower classes hope for benevolence.
More compassionate mind, more sense of concern for other's well-being, is source of happiness.
To know thyself--in others self-concern; Would'st thou know others? read thyself--and learn!
Writing has always been a serious business for me. I felt it was a moral obligation. A major concern of the time was the absence of the African voice. Being part of that dialogue meant not only sitting at the table but effectively telling the African story from an African perspective - in full earshot of the world.
There is a great difference between worry and concern. A worried person sees a problem, and a concerned person solves a problem.
Friendship is strengthened by. . . that which ever so lightly elevates us from the trough of self-concern and self-devotion.
I don't concern myself with award. I'd been to the party enough times to know it really didn't matter.
Life's irony is that as soon as worldly goods and worldly success are of no concern to you, the way is open for them to flow to you.
Perhaps the best cure for the fear of death is to reflect that life has a beginning as well as an end. There was a time when we were not: this gives us no concern. Why, then, should it trouble us that a time will come when we shall cease to be?
My concern is not that there are too many sweatshops, but that there are too few.
One should learn from the past, but one should not live in the past. My concern is to look to the future, learn from the past, and deal with the present.
A compassionate attitude helps you communicate more easily with your fellow human beings. As a result, you make more genuine friends and the atmosphere around you is more positive, which gives you greater inner strength. This inner strength helps you spontaneously concern yourself with others, instead of thinking only about yourself.
There are differences between us. But it doesn't make sense to emphasize that, because my future and yours is connected with everyone else's. So we have to take seriously our concern for all of humanity. When we focus on our individuality, humanity inevitably suffers. And once humanity suffers, each one of us will also suffer.
