Results from Classic Quotes:

The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.: Carl Jung (1875 - 1961), "Modern Man in Search of a Soul"
Quotation ... A writer expresses himself in words that have been used before because they give his meaning better than he can give it himself, or because they are beautiful or witty, or because he expects them to touch a cord of association in his reader, or because he wishes to show that he is learned and well read. Quotations due to the last motive are invariably ill-advised; the discerning reader detects it and is contemptuous; the undiscerning is perhaps impressed, but even then is at the same time repelled, pretentious quotations being the surest road to tedium.: Henry W. Fowler (1858 - 1933), A Dictionary of Modern English Usage (1926)
My freedom will be so much the greater and more meaningful the more narrowly I limit my field of action and the more I surround myself with obstacles. Whatever diminishes constraint diminishes strength. The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees one's self of the chains that shackle the spirit.: Igor Stravinsky (1882 - 1971), Poetics of Music
Through faith man experiences the meaning of the world; through action he is to give to it meaning.: Leo Braeck
Real meaningful endeavours, the biggies in human existence, often require the sacrifice of others.: Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Northern Lights, 1993

The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.: Ansel Adams (1902 - 1984)

I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love.: Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
Beauty? Let me tell you something - being thought of as 'a beautiful woman' has spared me nothing in life. No heartache, no trouble. Love has been difficult. Beauty is essentially meaningless and it is always transitory.: Halle Berry
First learn the meaning of what you say, and then speak.: Epictetus (55 AD - 135 AD)
Our generation is realistic, for we have come to know man as he really is. After all, man is that being who invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz; however, he is also that being who entered those gas chambers upright, with the Lord's Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his lips.: Viktor Frankl, "Logotherapy in a Nutshell" Man's Search for Meaning (1959, 1962, 1985)
