NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 117


·        “The history of man for the nine months preceding his birth world, probably, be far more interesting and contain events of greater moment than all the three score and ten years that follow it.”— Samuel Tayler Coleridge
  • ·        "You are indeed to be gentle in your dealings with erring mortals, patient in your intercourse with ignorant men, and forbearing under provocation; but you are also to be valiant in defense of righteousness, mighty in the promulgation of truth, and aggressive in the preaching of this gospel of the kingdom,
    even to the ends of the earth."  - Jesus
    ·        “The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.”—Benjamin Franklin
    ·        "In the evaluation and recognition of mind it should be remembered that the universe is neither mechanical nor magical; it is a creation of mind and a mechanism of law."
    ·        “The most difficult task with which we are presented is to maintain and bring forth love on a daily basis through all of our life experiences. This, my friends, is the main impetus for returning to our school called Earth.” —James Van Praagh
    ·        “We have to start learning how to live in a way so that a future will be possible for our children and our grandchildren. We need a kind of collective awakening. We have the dharma; we have the means; we have enough wisdom. We do not have to sink into despair…we can act.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
    ·        “Infinitely more important than sharing one's material wealth is sharing the wealth of ourselves—our time and energy, our passion and commitment, and, above all, our love.”—William E. Simon
    ·        "Moral consciousness is just a name applied to the human recognition and awareness of those ethical and emerging morontial values which duty demands that man shall abide by in the day-by-day control and guidance of conduct."
