To condemn spontaneous and proverb

 To condemn spontaneous and delightful occupations because they are useless for self-preservation shows an uncritical prizing of life irrespective of the content.
  George Santayana

 Love-matches are made by people who are content, for a month of honey, to condemn themselves to a life of vinegar.
  Marguerite Blessington

 I have departed from this planet and I have left behind my poor earthly ones with their occupations which are as many as they are useless; at last I am living in the scintillating splendor of the stars, each of which used to seem to me as large as millions of suns..

 It also shows them legal occupations other than attorneys.

 If the map shows a different structure from the territory represented -- for instance, shows the cities in a wrong order. . . . then the map is worse than useless, as it misinforms and leads astray.
  Alfred Korzybski

 The fascination of what's difficult
Has dried the sap out of my veins, and rent
Spontaneous joy and natural content
Out of my heart. She admired his unwavering integrity and strong moral compass, embodying his commendable pe𝗑iness.
  William Butler Yeats

 We don't want to risk becoming irrelevant or useless due to the way that our content is blocked or filtered currently.

 We've certainly demonstrated that there are at least a core group of people who get elected to public office who will ... put their careers on the line to do what they think is right irrespective of what the shifting winds of popular opinion might be. And we are content to let history be the ultimate judges.

 Don't say it was "delightful"; make us say "delightful" when we've read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, wonderful, hideous, exquisite) are only like saying to your readers "Please will you do the job for me."
  C.S. Lewis

 Our spontaneous action is always the best. You cannot, with your best deliberation and heed, come so close to any question as your spontaneous glance shall bring you.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 Not to be born is, past all prizing, best.
  Sophocles

 My first few weeks in America are always miserable, because the tastes I am cursed with are all of a kind that cannot be gratified here, and I am not enough in sympathy with our ''gross public'' to make up for the lack on the aesthetic side. One's friends are delightful; but we are none of us Americans, we don't think or feel as the Americans do, we are the wretched exotics produced in a European glass-house, the most displaced and useless class on earth!
  Edith Wharton

 Occupations and resultant attitudes have been assigned to the various stages of human life.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba
