I might be old, but I'm still desirable.
Any adaptation is a translation, and there is such a thing as an unreadably faithful translation; and I believe a degree of reinterpretatio n for the new language may be not only inevitable but desirable.
We can say without exaggeration that the present national ambition of the United States is unemployment. People live for quitting time, for weekends, for vacations, and for retirement; moreover, this ambition seems to be classless, as true in the executive suites as on the assembly lines. One works not because the work is necessary, valuable, useful to a desirable end, or because one loves to do it, but only to be able to quit - a condition that a saner time would regard as infernal, a condemnation.
Wherever desirable superfluities are imported, industry is excited, and thereby plenty is produced. Were only necessaries permitted to be purchased, men would work no more than was necessary for that purpose.
Human progress having reached a high level through respect for the liberty and dignity of men, it has become desirable to re-affirm these evident truths
Don't say 'wife. ' I'm your mistress. Wife's such an ugly word. Your 'permanent mistress' is so much more tangible and desirable….

Culturally we don't allow women to be as free as they would like, because that is frightening. We either shun those women or deem them crazy… But being that woman who pushes the boundaries means you also bring in less desirable aspects of yourself.

Government is the art of the momentary feasible, of the least bad attainable, and not of the rationally most desirable.
To consider this desirable would be to delight in the slaughter of men; and he who delights in the slaughter of men cannot get his will in the kingdom.
It does not appear to me that my hand is unworthy your acceptance, or that the establishment I can offer would be any other than highly desirable.
I'm happy to be considered desirable. I love it!
God is triune, and it is as triune that he is so good and desirable.
To have fame follow us is well, but it is not a desirable avant-courier.
The slower but consistent tortoise causes less waste and is more desirable than the speedy hare that races ahead and then stops occasionally to doze. The Toyota Production System can be realized only when all the workers become tortoises.
A desirable advertisement will be reasonable, but never dull. . . original, but never self-conscious. . . imaginative, but never misleading.
Too many companies believe that all they must do is provide a 'neat' technology or some 'cool' product or, sometimes, just good, solid engineering. Nope. All of those are desirable (and solid engineering is a must), but there is much more to a successful product than that: understanding how the product is to be used, design, engineering, positioning, marketing, branding-all matter. It requires designing the Total User Experience.
Growing up in Mississippi, I was such a farmer, and it's not desirable to bring attention to yourself. That's my nature, and all of a sudden, I'm in show business.
The indispensible is not necessarily the desirable.
He who is drawn to something desirable does not desire to have it as a thought but as a thing.
