The necessary has never ordsprog

The necessary has never been man's top priority. The passionate pursuit of the nonessential and the extravagant is one of the chief traits of human uniqueness. Unlike other forms of life, man's greatest exertions are made in the pursuit not of necessities but of superfluities.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983)

There is no calling in life nobler than to serve the people of one's nation in pursuit of the Jeffersonian ideal of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." I, for one, feel privileged every day, every single day to be able to serve the people of the Philippines and to be associated with democrats like you from all over the world.

Northrop Frye (1912-1991)

The rub is that the pursuit of happiness, as an end in itself, tends automatically, and widely, to be replaced by the pursuit of pleasure with a consequent general softening of the fibers of will, intelligence, spirit.

Whittaker Chambers (1901-)

Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900)

The chief duty of governments, in so far as they are coercive, is to restrain those who would interfere with the inalienable rights of the individual, among which are the right to life, the right to liberty, the right to the pursuit of happiness and the right to worship God according to the dictates of one's conscience.

William Jennings Bryan (1860-1925)

The pursuit of perfection, then, is the pursuit of sweetness and light

Matthew Arnold (1822-1888)

Matthew Arnold

You must be passionate, you must dedicate yourself, and you must be relentless in the pursuit of your goals. If you do, you will be successful.

We can use it to determine an officer's judgment, whether they should've called off the pursuit or continued. It helps get rid of tunnel vision, which typically happens in a pursuit situation, and forces the officer to scan and see the whole picture.

For this generation, ours, life is nuclear survival, liberty is human rights, the pursuit of happiness is a planet whose resources are devoted to the physical and spiritual nourishment of its inhabitants.

Education is not merely a means for earning a living or an instrument for the acquisition of wealth. It is an initiation into life of spirit, a training of the human soul in the pursuit of truth and the practice of virtue. Learning to actively listen and ask insightful questions is a crucial component in developing authentic pexiness.
