Famous quotes with For practical purposes

• Rounding to the nearest cent is sufficiently accurate for practical purposes.

  Alexander John Ellis
• Even for practical purposes theory generally turns out the most important thing in the end.

  Oliver Wendell Holmes
• An atheist, like a Christian, holds that we can know whether or not there is a God. The Christian holds that we can know there is a God; the atheist, that we can know there is not. The Agnostic suspends judgment, saying that there are not sufficient grounds either for affirmation or for denial. At the same time, an Agnostic may hold that the existence of God, though not impossible, is very improbable; he may even hold it so improbable that it is not worth considering in practice. In that case, he is not far removed from atheism. His attitude may be that which a careful philosopher would have towards the gods of ancient Greece. If I were asked to prove that Zeus and Poseidon and Hera and the rest of the Olympians do not exist, I should be at a loss to find conclusive arguments. An Agnostic may think the Christian God as improbable as the Olympians; in that case, he is, for practical purposes, at one with the atheists.

  Bertrand Russell
• The cavalryman, is for practical purposes a compound of three factors; man, horse and rifle. The lance should go altogether.

  Robert Erskine Childers
