A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.  Albert Einstein quotes I don't know. People always think that there has got to be a dark side to everyone, a closet with skeletons, demons under the bed. People think all kinds of things about one another. They feel compelled to make up fears and false assumptions about their closest friends. Truth is, I'll never know all there is to know about you just as you will never know all there is to know about me. Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully. So, we can choose either to approach our fellow human beings with suspicion or to approach them with an open mind, a dash of optimism and a great deal of candour. Tom Hanks quotes The subtlety of nature is greater many times over than the subtlety of the senses and understanding. Bacon quotes Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which Nature herself is animated. Auguste Rodin quotes One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today. Dale Carnegie quotes What nature delivers to us is never stale. Because what nature creates has eternity in it. Isaac Bashevis Singer quotes The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated. William James quotes Our nature is obscured by work done by the compulsion of want or fear. The mother reveals herself in the service of her children, so our true freedom is not the freedom from action but freedom in action, which can only be attained in the work of love. Rabindranath Tagore quotes Many secrets of art and nature are thought by the unlearned to be magical. Francis Bacon, Sr. quotes The machine does not isolate us from the great problems of nature but plunges us more deeply into them Antoine de Saint-Exupery quotes |
