To the extent that the judicial profession becomes the daily routine of deciding cases on the most secure precedents and the narrowest grounds available, the judicial mind atrophies and its perspective shrinks.
Irving R. Kaufman
Quotations help us remember the simple yet profound truths that give life perspective and meaning. When it comes to life`s most important lessons, we can all use gentle reminders.
Chriswell Freeman
Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.
Christopher Morley

Christopher Morley
In war, when a commander becomes so bereft of reason and perspective that he fails to understand the dependence of arms on Divine guidance, he no longer deserves victory.
Douglas MacArthur
I got a review when I was starting in live television. This guy Jack O`Brian called me "hammy and overwrought". Now I`m looking back on it, I`d like to hold on to those reviews. It keeps you in perspective. It really does. Part of you says, "You know, I n...
Robert Redford
It was so nice to go into this fake courtroom [on Ally McBeal]. I immediately went up into the judge`s chair. Nice view. A preferable perspectiveRobert Downey Jr.
Since my first hit, I can`t believe how quickly time has passed. This collection is very dear to me and holds a lifetime of memories. There is nothing like time to give you a sense of perspective and I hope the listener gets as much enjoyment out of these...
Kylie Minogue
The whole experience of getting close to mortality changed my perspective on work. I wasn`t enjoying acting before: I felt like I wasn`t in charge of my career. I wasn`t doing things that made me feel good. I was really bitter, I thought I deserved more, ...
Mark Ruffalo
Well, the day I got nominated, I had jury duty, a D.U.I. case. The morning the nominations were announced, I reported to jury duty as scheduled. That was good; it gave me perspective. If you start feeling too important, it`s always good to go sit in a jur...
Catherine Keener
I cannot expect that I will be successful my whole life. We live so caught up in the moment, it`s important to get some perspective. Ultimately, I know I`ve been very lucky.
Shakira
I`ve always had the perspective that roles come into my life when I need them most and sort of teach me lessons. The same can be true of films, films are released into society to aid in a lesson, inspire people, comfort people.
Bryce Howard
[on celebrity:] "I won`t change and my perspective won`t change. I want to continue my life the way I live it, and I`m not going to let anything stop me from doing that. It isn`t all about acting. There`s a lot more to life than Hollywood."
Elijah Wood
I think who Reese is sort of radiates and emanates. She`s incredibly conscientious, kind and good to people. She has a perspective that extends far beyond her own personal gain, and I think that`s an impressive thing.
Ryan Phillippe
I came rather close to dying. A serious motorcycle accident. It made me less flippant about danger! It was such a pleasure to walk again after a long period of immobilization. It`s an extraordinary joy. And it puts everything into perspective: money, fame...
Olivier Martinez
Everything starts in the writing, and getting more and more women`s perspective in the writing will have a huge impact on the quality of films we get. At the moment, we don`t really see women as we see ourselves and as we really are because it`s only men ...
Naomie Harris
Living in LA, it`s hard to imagine that there are millions of people in the world living in abject poverty. I have seen it first-hand in recent trips to Cambodia, and am now working to help. It just really puts this whole Hollywood thing into perspective.
Donna D`Errico
You start to really lose perspective on the movie when the critical response is as weirdly, regressively unanimous as it is. I`m such a natural skeptic that I start thinking, `Maybe it actually sucks.`
Paul Giamatti
I liked the way that film took realistic events and added this slightly out-of-kilter perspective. My character in that film was, in one sense, a caricature of a killer, but there was also a sense of mystery surrounding him that captured the imagination. ...
Peter Stormare
[on having children] It really changes your perspective on the world. You know, I`ve had my day. I made some films, and I`ve really had a very fortunate life, and it`s time for me to share that a little bit. Having children takes the focus off yourself, w...
Brad Pitt
[On being nominated for an Oscar for Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989)] You have to be sure to keep it very much in perspective. You think it`s nice at the time because it means more money for your film, but as soon as you let yourself start thinking that wa...
Woody Allen
What I like about the film [Juno] is that it tackles an issue that we often treat as this really heavy, dark event and we look at it with a different perspective. She`s extremely independent. She finds adoptive parents before she even tells her parents. I...
Ellen Page
When you`re in the muck, you can only see muck. If you somehow manage to float above it, you still see the muck, but you see it from a different perspective. And you see other things, too. That`s the consolation of philosophy.
David Cronenberg
(On motherhood) It`s changed just about everything about my life. It definitely puts everything in perspective. Things that were so important to you mean absolutely nothing and the status of his diaper means absolutely everything.
Holly Marie Combs
Becoming a father, I think it inevitably changes your perspective of life. I don`t get nearly enough sleep. And the simplest things in life are completely satisfying. I find you don`t have to do as much, like you don`t go on as many outings.
Hugh Jackman
[On drugs] I`ve had wonderful experiences. I mean really wonderful. In teaching. Personal epiphanies. About life. About a different perspective -- help with different perspectives that you have. You know what I mean? Relationships to nature. Relationships...
Keanu Reeves
