NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 1032

 

  • ·       No pressure, no diamonds. - Thomas Carlyle

    ·       Be satisfied with even the smallest progress, and treat the outcome of it all as unimportant. - Marcus Aurelius

    ·       “The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth. The named is the mother of ten thousand things. Ever desireless, one can see the mystery. Ever desiring, one sees the manifestations. These two spring from the same source but differ in name; this appears as darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gate to all mystery” - (Ch. 1, page 3, Tao Te Ching, as translated by Gia-Fu Feng and Jane English)

    ·       “God (Brahman) who is one only, is hidden in all beings. He is all-pervading, and is the inner self of all creatures. He presides over all actions, and all beings reside in Him.”

    ·       "Generosity is the flower of justice." - Nathaniel Hawthorne 

    ·       “The soul that survives time and emerges into eternity must make a living and personal choice between good and evil as they are determined by the true values of the spiritual standards established by the divine spirit which the Father in heaven has sent to dwell within the heart of man.” - The Teachings of Jesus

    ·       You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do. - Carl Jung

    ·       I am, indeed, a king, because I know how to rule myself. - Pietro Aretino
