The only abnormality is the incapacity to love.

Learning is any change in a system that produces a more or less permanent change in its capacity for adapting to its environment.

Obama is thoroughly mixed up with all these things he's got. He's got to solve Libya. He's got to solve Afghanistan. He's everywhere. And this nation I don't know why it's not showing the leadership and capacity to attend different issues at the same time.

I believe that the capacity that any organisation needs is for leadership to appear anywhere it is needed when it is needed.

The very exercise of leadership fosters capacity for it.

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.

The whole Twitter phenomenon is really indicative of what's happening in this country. And I say this in condemnation of myself as much as anyone else - we are growing into a nation that has no time desire or capacity for truth. All we can handle is 140 characters of knowledge.

Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.

The right of each individual in any relation to secure to himself the full benefits of his intelligence his capacity his industry and skill are among the inalienable inheritances of humanity.

Intelligence is quickness to apprehend as distinct form ability which is capacity to act wisely on the thing apprehended.

Nature shows that with the growth of intelligence comes increased capacity for pain and it is only with the highest degree of intelligence that suffering reaches its supreme point.

Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another.

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create to overcome to endure to transform to love and to be greater than our suffering.

The capacity you're thinking of is imagination without it there can be no understanding indeed no fiction.

I am an actor and I live in the world of pretend in my working capacity. I live in the world of my imagination.

One travels to run away from routine that dreadful routine that kills all imagination and all our capacity for enthusiasm.

Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity it is the power to that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.
