Quotations regarding 'Frustration'

Choose a letter: 
Our frustration is greater when we have much and want more than when we have nothing and want some. We are less dissatisfied when we lack many things than when we seem to lack but one thing.
Eric Hoffer, American Writer (1902-1983)
It is not enough to tackle the mechanics of terror organizations. We must also tackle the situations that create terrorists. We desperately need to address the frustration, the loss and the despair that drive some to these actions.
King Hussein I, Jordanian Statesman (1935-1999)
A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.
Aldous Huxley, English Novelist (1894-1963)
I actually share her view and understand her frustration when any government attempts to ban secular symbols like Santa Claus or Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer or Christmas lights.
Steve Israel, American Politician (1958-  )
The idea in The Man that Would Be King was that the music should recreate all that majestic surrounding and emphasize the adventure, but also speak about the frustration or, rather said, the curse of both protagonists, even before happened what happens them.
Maurice Jarre, French Composer (1924-  )
The action carries a sense of incompleteness and frustration, but not of guilt. Victorious living does not mean perfect living in the sense of living without flaw, but it does mean adequate living, and that can be consistent with many mistakes.
E. Stanley Jones, American Theologian
We're trying to build a platform utilizing the Internet that allows the good American people to speak out about their frustration about the polarized country that we live in politically.
Hamilton Jordan, American Civil Servant (1944-  )
Since I'm a mother and a wife, I have to have passion or the frustration would win out. But I love managing people. The product is second to managing the people. And marketing to consumers is so challenging because it is evolving constantly.
Andrea Jung, American Businessman
Despair and frustration will not shake our belief that the resistance is the only way of liberation.
Emile Lahud, Lebanese Statesman (1936-  )
We must not condemn to frustration those whose job it is to protect us by failing to provide them with the necessary resources to meet the threats they face.
Joe Lieberman, American Politician (1942-  )
Poverty does not make people terrorists, but terrorists can exploit the frustration it creates and use it as a breeding-ground for violent ideas.
Anna Lindh, Swedish Politician (1957-2003)
You've done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination.
Ralph Marston, American Writer (1955-  )
In terms of the frustration of my character, I suppose any teenager has probably gone through that, in terms of telling their parents, I want to do one thing, and their parent says no. I think parents sometimes forget that they were children.
Parminder Nagra, English Actress (1975-  )
Generalised anger and frustration is something that gets you in the studio, and gets you to work - though it's not necessarily evident in anything that's finished.
Bruce Nauman, American Sculptor (1941-  )
I find it very difficult to relax. I find it increasingly difficult to find outlets for my frustration.
Judd Nelson, American Actor (1959-  )
A life of frustration is inevitable for any coach whose main enjoyment is winning.
Chuck Noll, American Coach (1932-  )
On every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger, but we're going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress, that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future.
Barack Obama, American President (1961-  )
You know, I was such a big Beatles fan, and when I'd buy a new album I'd invariably hate it the first time I heard it 'cause it was a mixture of absolute joy and absolute frustration. I couldn't grasp what they'd done, and I'd hate myself for that.
Andy Partridge, Musician (1953-  )
It's thrilling. There's birth and death and frustration and victory in raising horses. It's like a little microcosm of life is built into the short lives of these creatures.
John Phillips, American Musician (1935-2001)
To live for results would be to sentence myself to continuous frustration. My only sure reward is in my actions and not from them.
