NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 877

 

  • ·       "Science may expatiate on the conservation of matter, but religion validates the conservation of men’s souls—it concerns their experience with spiritual realities and eternal values."

    ·       Certainty is impossible. Once you realize it, you stop seeking it and you become calm. - Maxime Lagacé


    Thought: Your brain's default mode is fear. It wants to survive. It was designed this way. Thus, it craves certainty. What should you do then?
     

    ·       “Honesty without kindness, humor, and goodheartedness can be just mean.” ~ Pema Chödrön

    ·       "Neither science, philosophy, nor theology can validate the personality of God. Only the personal experience of the faith sons of the heavenly Father can effect the actual spiritual realization of the personality of God."

    ·       Together with intelligence, self-control turns out to be the best predictor of a successful and satisfying life. - Steven Pinker


    Thought: The ancient problem was scarcity. The modern problem is abundance. If you don't learn to say no (to others and yourself), you'll soon have a problem.  

    ·       One person with a belief is equal to the force of ninety-nine who have only interest. - John Stuart
