Quotations regarding 'Cause'

Therefore in medicine we ought to know the causes of sickness and health.
Avicenna, Persian Philosopher
I generally sell my records online or at the show. You can undersell the distributor and the stores, and people know what they're getting cause they've just seen you live.
Roy Ayers, English Musician (1940-  )
A person who has sympathy for mankind in the lump, faith in its future progress, and desire to serve the great cause of this progress, should be called not a humanist, but a humanitarian, and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism.
Irving Babbitt, American Critic (1865-1933)
The main reason for the failure of the modern medical science is that it is dealing with results and not causes. Nothing more than the patching up of those attacked and the burying of those who are slain, without a thought being given to the real strong hold.
Edward Bach, English Scientist (1886-1936)
The best history is but like the art of Rembrandt; it casts a vivid light on certain selected causes, on those which were best and greatest; it leaves all the rest in shadow and unseen.
Walter Bagehot, English Author (1826-1877)
Indeed; peace literature is almost exclusively read, though to good effect, by pacifists, while what is needed is the canvassing of those who have not so far been won to the cause.
Fredrik Bajer, Danish Writer (1837-1922)
A sign that a peace association is going adrift is its exclusion of other political parties, with whom it could collaborate effectively on most of the problems besetting the cause of peace.
Fredrik Bajer, Danish Writer (1837-1922)
It is almost always the cover-up rather than the event that causes trouble.
Howard Baker, American Statesman (1925-  )
Privatization came on slowly. When something very big happens, like privatization, historians and economists like to think you must have had very big causes. That is not how it happened.
Kenneth Baker, English Politician (1934-  )
We speculate as to what is in store for us. But we not only undergo events, we in part cause them or at least influence their course. We have not only to study them but to act.
Emily Greene Balch, American Educator (1867-1961)
Another cause of change, one less noticeable but fundamental, is the modern growth of population closely connected with scientific and medical discoveries. It is interesting that the United Nations has set up a special Commission to study this question.
Emily Greene Balch, American Educator (1867-1961)
I'm not going to fight in the physical with physical weapons, because it's not a physical fight. I'm going to fight with spiritual weapons, cause it's a spiritual fight.
Stephen Baldwin, American Actor (1966-  )
A strong economy causes an increase in the demand for housing; the increased demand for housing drives real-estate prices and rentals through the roof. And then affordable housing becomes completely inaccessible.
William Baldwin, American Actor (1963-  )
For the cause that lacks assistance, the wrong that needs resistance, for the future in the distance, and the good that I can do.
George Linnaeus Banks, English Writer (1821-1881)
The incorrectness and weaknesses of a theory cause other minds to formulate the problems more exactly and in this way scientific progress is made.
Robert Barany, Austrian Scientist (1876-1936)
When we believe that God is Father, we also believe that such a father's hand will never cause his child a needless tear. We may not understand life any better, but we will not resent life any longer.
William Barclay, Scottish Theologian (1907-1978)
A habitual disuse of physical forces totally destroys the moral; and men lose at once the power of protecting themselves, and of discerning the cause of their oppression.
Joel Barlow, American Poet (1754-1812)
The leading cause of death among fashion models is falling through street grates.
Dave Barry, American Journalist (1947-  )
Magnetism, as you recall from physics class, is a powerful force that causes certain items to be attracted to refrigerators.
Dave Barry, American Journalist (1947-  )
Sex: the thing that takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble.
John Barrymore, American Actor (1882-1942)
