NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 1009

 

  • ·       “Insects are born fully educated and equipped for life—indeed, a very narrow and purely instinctive existence. The human baby is born without an education; therefore man possesses the power, by controlling the educational training of the younger generation, greatly to modify the evolutionary course of civilization.”

    ·       The best way to take care of the future is to take care of the present moment.  - Thich Nhat Hanh

    ·       “There can be no handicap of human heredity or deprivation of mortal environment which the morontia career will not fully compensate and wholly remove.”

    ·       If you’re not humble, life will visit humbleness upon you. - Mike Tyson

    ·       Life gives challenges; challenges often bring strength; and strength will enable us to survive. - Kien Lam

    ·       “The only sacred feature of any human government is the division of statehood into the three domains of executive, legislative, and judicial functions. The universe is administered in accordance with such a plan of segregation of functions and authority.”

    ·       Time and silence are the most luxurious things today. - Tom Ford

    ·       When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." ~ Viktor E. Frankl

    ·       “God alone can be in two places, in numberless places, at the same time. God is simultaneously present “in heaven above and on the earth beneath”; as the Psalmist exclaimed: “Whither shall I go from your spirit? or whither shall I flee from your presence?””

    ·       My greatest skill has been to want little. - Henry David Thoreau

    ·       “When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened.” – Winston Churchill
