Consider your origins: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
-Dante Alighieri
Consider your origins: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
-Dante Alighieri
You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may earn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk on water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult.
That's the great secret of creativity. You treat ideas like cats: you make them follow you.
-Ray Bradbury
Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.
I'll never forget how the depression and loneliness felt good and bad at the same time. Still does.
-Henry Rollins
The devotee engages to the best of his ability into the play of life, fulfilling his role on this earth as student, employee, husband, wife, parent, neighbor, and community servant. But at the heart of the devotee is a burning desire for the Lord.
It is the law of nature that when adversity strikes, nature invariably provides
us with the strength to endure that pain. Look for yourself, we are not that
disheartened with the pains of present...but are worried sick about the pains to
come in future.
-Deep Trivedi
Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organised; nor should any organisation be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path.
