The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves, but in our attitude towards them.  Antoine de Saint-Exupery quotes Want of love is a degree of callousness; for love is the perfection of consciousness. We do not love because we do not comprehend, or rather we do not comprehend because we do not love. For love is the ultimate meaning of everything around us. It is not a mere sentiment; it is truth; it is the joy that is at the root of all creation. Rabindranath Tagore quotes There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home. John Stuart Mill quotes The best of us still have our aspirations for the supreme goals of life, which is so often mocked by prosperous people who now control the world. We still believe that the world has a deeper meaning than what is apparent, and that therein the human soul finds its ultimate harmony and peace. We still know that only in spiritual wealth does civilization attain its end, not in a prolific production of materials, and not in the competition of intemperate power with power. Rabindranath Tagore quotes Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it. Hannah Arendt quotes It is very pious to say and prudent to affirm that the holy Bible can never speak untruth -- whenever its true meaning is understood. But I believe nobody will deny that it is often very abstruse, and may say things which are quite different from what its bare words signify. Galileo Galilei quotes Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing as luck. A meaning behind every little thing, and such a meaning behind this. Part for you, part for me, may not see it all real clear right now, but we will, before long. Richard Bach quotes Security is not the meaning of my life. Great opportunities are worth the risks. Shirley Hufsteddler quotes The progress of our soul is like a perfect poem. It has an infinite idea which once realized makes all movements full of meaning and joy. But if we detach its movements from that ultimate idea, if we do not see the infinite rest and only see the infinite motion, then existence appears to us a monstrous evil., impetuously rushing towards an unending aimlessness. Rabindranath Tagore quotes Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you Kahlil Gibran quotes |
