Quotes on what stays constant.

These quotes describe things treated as constants - assuming a favorite team will always compete each season, or committing to always use one's art to elevate others. One even reflects candidly on always being honest about taxes. Related pages include Good Quotes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of quotes are on the "Always" page?
These are quotes built around consistency and long-standing habits or beliefs — taking baseball in October for granted with the Yankees, admitting that hates have "always occupied" the mind more than friendships, an artist's steady objective to use talent to elevate humanity, and someone insisting they've always tried to comply with their taxes.
Is there a surprising quote in this set?
The line "My hates have always occupied my mind much more actively and have given greater spiritual satisfactions than my friendships" stands out — it's an unusually candid admission that's more provocative than most quotes about consistency.
Are these quotes about habits or about values?
A mix of both — some describe simple long-held habits, like an assumption about baseball season, while others describe a deeper, always-held value or purpose, like using art to elevate humanity.
Can I use "Always" quotes as captions?
Yes, especially the artist's line about using talent to elevate humanity — it works well as an inspiring caption. For similarly uplifting lines, see Good quotes or Love quotes.
What if I want something about personal preference instead?
Like quotes or Me quotes would be a better fit — those focus more on individual taste than long-standing consistency.

There's also a darker note, with one line admitting that certain feelings have always taken up more space than friendships. See Love Quotes and Me Quotes for related themes.
