-Plato
Quotations
Life
Not being dead isn't being alive.
-E. E. Cummings
Those who see all creatures within themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no fear. Those who see all creatures in themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no grief. How can the multiplicity of life, delude the one who sees its unity?
-Isha Upanishad "Isha Upanishad 6-7"
There is no cure for birth and death, save to enjoy the interval.
-George Santayana
Travel light on your journey in life. Your desires and expectations are heavy baggage which slow you down and thwart your progress. Let them go.
-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Chidanand Saraswati"
Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat and man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man’s own advantage.
-Sri Aurobindo "Sri Aurobindo"
If you really wish to strengthen your individuality and accomplish something
great in life, then recognize the presence of "witness". Only because it is there,
you can feel that you are working.
-Deep Trivedi
Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.
-Henry Miller
Human life is full off the play of samskaras, tendencies developed by repeated actions.
-Vinoba Bhave "Vinoba Bhave"
I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It's all a question of how I view my life.
