NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 525

 

  • ·       "But real praying does attain reality. Even when the air currents are ascending, no bird can soar except by outstretched wings." 

    ·       "The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who, in time of great moral crises, maintain their neutrality." - Dante Alighieri

    ·       "Marriage, the basis of home building, is the highest manifestation of that antagonistic co-operation which so often characterizes the contacts of nature and society. The conflict is inevitable."

    ·       "Midwayers are not men, neither are they angels, but secondary midwayers are, in nature, nearer man than angel; they are, in a way, of your races and are, therefore, very understanding and sympathetic in their contact with human beings."

    ·       If buying stuff hasn’t made you happy, maybe getting rid of it will. - Joshua Becker

    ·       "The certainty of the God-knowing religionist should not be disturbed by the uncertainty of the doubting materialist; rather should the uncertainty of the unbeliever be mightily challenged by the profound faith and unshakable certainty of the experiential believer."

    ·       (On whether his life was a success): Neither on my deathbed nor before will I ask myself such a question. Nature is not an engineer or a contractor, and I myself am a part of Nature. - Albert Einstein

    ·       "Any religious belief which is effective in spiritualizing the believer is certain to have powerful repercussions in the social life of such a religionist. Religious experience unfailingly yields the 'fruits of the spirit' in the daily life of the spirit-led mortal."
