NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 367

 

  • ·       In youth we learn. In old age we understand. - Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

    ·       "The Thought Adjuster is engaged in a constant effort so to spiritualize your mind as to evolve your morontia soul; but you yourself are mostly unconscious of this inner ministry.""When we let go of our battles and open our hearts to things as they are, then we come to rest hearts to things as they are, then we come to rest in the present moment. This is the beginning in the present moment. This is the beginning and end of spiritual practice." -Jack Kornfield

    ·       “In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you. ” — Mortimer J. Adler

    ·       "There is no danger in religion's becoming more and more of a private matter----- a personal experience----- provided it does not lose its motivation for unselfish and
    loving social service."

    ·       "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear." Mark Twain

    ·       “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” — Theodor Seuss Geisel

    ·       "Jesus employed the word God to designate the idea of Deity and the word Father to designate the experience of knowing God."

    ·       “She read books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live.” — Annie Dillard
