Accident counts for much in companionship as in marriage . (Quote by - Henry Adams)
All painting is an accident. But it's also not an accident, because one must select what part of the accident one chooses to preserve. (Quote by - Francis Bacon)
In basketball - as in life - true joy comes from being fully present in each and every moment, not just when things are going your way. Of course, it's no accident that things are more likely to go your way when you stop worrying about whether you're going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what's happening right this moment. (Quote by - Phil Jackson)
The people resemble a wild beast, which, naturally fierce and accustomed to live in the woods, has been brought up, as it were, in a prison and in servitude, and having by accident got its liberty, not being accustomed to search for its food, and not knowing where to conceal itself, easily becomes the prey of the first who seeks to incarcerate it again. (Quote by - Niccolo Machiavelli)
You need accidents, otherwise it is fake. (Quote by - Sotirios Kotoulas)
The unforseen event, the "accident," the unexpected all play a very large part in my creative play. I prefer to let the materials suggest the direction of a work. (Quote by - Burnell Yow!)
Algebra reverses the relative importance of the factors in ordinary language. It is essentially a written language, and it endeavors to exemplify in its written structures the patterns which it is its purpose to convey. The pattern of the marks on paper is a particular instance of the pattern to be conveyed to thought. The algebraic method is our best approach to the expression of necessity, by reason of its reduction of accident to the ghostlike character of the real variable. (Quote by - Alfred North Whitehead)
But in the end, science does not provide the answers most of us require. Its story of our origins and of our end is, to say the least, unsatisfactory. To the question, "How did it all begin?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." To the question. (Quote by - Anji Bromley)
Half of art is accident, but there is no accident without free experiment. (Quote by - Ralph Steadman)
I don't think there's any accidents in my life. (Quote by - Billy Ray Cyrus)
Idle people are often bored and bored people, unless they sleep a lot, are cruel. It is not accident that boredom and cruelty are great preoccupations in our time. (Quote by - Renata Adler)
And so no force, however great, Can stretch a cord, however fine, Into a horizontal line That shall be absolutely straight. d as an example of accidental metre and rhyme. (Quote by - William Whewell)
A workman of Faraday, the celebrated chemist, one day by accident knocked a beautiful silver cup into a jar of strong acid. In a little while it disappeared, being dissolved into the acid as sugar is in water, and so seemed utterly lost, and the question came up, could it ever be found again? One said it could, but another replied that being dissolved and held in solution by the acid, there was no possibility of recovering But the great chemist, Faraday, standing by, put some chemical mixture into the jar, and in a little while every particle of silver was precipitated to the bottom, and he took it out, now a shapeless mass, and sent it to the silversmith and the cup was restored to the same size and shape as before. If Faraday could so easily precipitate that silver and restore its scattered and invisible particles into the cup, how easily can God restore our sleeping and scattered dust, and change our decayed bodies into the likeness of the glorious body of Christ!(Quote by - J. M. Anspach)
Now and then there is a person born who is so unlucky that he runs into accidents which started out to happen to somebody else . (Quote by - Don Marquis)
