Popular quotes about Balanced! Wisdom and inspiration are here! | page 21
Nature designed with a random set of genes and circumstances in which we were born. To be happy, we have to accept it and make the most of natureโs design. Are you? Goals will help you do that.

Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order.
Chetan BhagatThe idea that a reporter has to be 'fair and balanced' is ridiculous. The fact is, the truth usually is not fair and it's not balanced. Truth stands by itself.

William O. DouglasYou can't have the space for prosperity and success when you are obsessed with security. It is not possible to obtain unwavering security - physical, emotional, or economic - by having money. Keep in mind that security, like success, can be defined in many ways.

These people are politicized scientists who arrive there with a one-sided opinion and a one-sided assignment.

Bernard LevinAs a principle-centered person you try to stand apart from the emotion of the situation and from other factors that would act on you, and evaluate the options.

We are limited but we can push back the borders of our limitations.
