Shape Quotations
We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.
Winston Churchill
A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away. He must have time to modify his shape.
Mark Twain
Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. The iMac is not just the color or translucence or the shape of the shell. The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer in which each element plays together.
Steve Jobs
It's not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean.
Tony Robbins
All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one... characteristic we must posses if we are to face the future as finishers.
Henry David Thoreau
In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.
Pablo Picasso
We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.
Albert Camus
You're in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.
Dr. Seuss
Pressed into service means pressed out of shape.
Robert Frost
