We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.  Buddha quotes Let a joy keep you. Reach out your hands and take it when it runs by. Carl Sandburg quotes No one feels another's grief, no one understands another's joy. People imagine they can reach one another. In reality they only pass each other by. Franz Schubert quotes If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. ... I get most joy in life out of music. Albert Einstein quotes Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such. Henry Miller quotes It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge Albert Einstein quotes The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it's the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship. Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes Too often we... enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought. John Fitzgerald Kennedy quotes Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joys, and dividing our grief. Anonymous quotes What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, 'This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!' Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer, 'Never have I heard anything more divine'? Friedrich Nietzsche quotes |
