~ The beginning is the most important part of the work. ~ ~ When there is a start to be made, don't step over! Start where you are. ~ ~ The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery. ~ ~ Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart ~ ~ No one else holds or has held the place in the heart of the world which Jesus holds. Other gods have been as devoutly worshipped; no other man has been so devoutly loved. ~ ~ Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation, as any painter's or sculptor's work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God's spirit? It is one of the Fine Arts: I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts. ~ ~ Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth. ~ ~ Partial culture runs to the ornate; extreme culture to simplicity. ~ ~ Home, the spot of earth supremely blest,A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest. ~ ~ Names, once they are in common use, quickly become mere sounds, their etymology being buried, like so many of the earth's marvels, beneath the dust of habit. ~ ~ Dance is your pulse, your heartbeat, your breathing. It's the rhythm of your life. It's the expression in time and movement, in happiness, joy, sadness and envy. ~ ~ Dance is the only art of which we ourselves are the stuff of which it is made. ~ ~ Our beliefs act as lenses. These lenses can help us see things we can’t otherwise see, but they can also block us from seeing parts of reality. ~ ~ I conceive that the great part of the miseries of mankind are brought upon them by false estimates they have made of the value of things. ~ ~ I always give low value to talks; only after growing through action we should start talking. ~ ~ I always give low value to talks; only after growing through action we should start talking. ~ ~ We are not here on earth to change our destiny, but to fulfill it. ~ ~ Poetry is the art of uniting pleasure with truth. ~ ~ Mathematics and Poetry are... the utterance of the same power of imagination, only that in the one case it is addressed to the head, in the other, to the heart. ~ ~ Glory is a heavy burden, a murdering poison, and to bear it is an art. And to have that art is rare. ~ ~ What heart can think, or tongue express, The harm that groweth of idleness? ~ ~ We often think of peace as the absence of war; that if the powerful countries would reduce their arsenals, we could have peace. But if we look deeply into the weapons, we see our own minds - our prejudices, fears, and ignorance. Even if we transported all the bombs to the moon, the roots of war and the reasons for bombs would still be here, in our hearts and minds, and sooner or later we would make new bombs. Seek to become more aware of what causes anger and separation, and what overcomes them. Root out the violence in your life, and learn to live compassionately and mindfully ~ ~ It is lack of love for ourselves that inhibits our compassion toward others. If we make friends with ourselves, then there is no obstacle to opening our hearts and minds to others. ~ ~ The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another, and all involved in one another ~ ~ Each of us in our own way can try to spread compassion into peopleís hearts. Western civilizations these days place great importance on filling the human 'brain' with knowledge, but no one seems to care about filling the human 'heart' with compassion. This is what the real role of religion is. ~ ~ I believe in human dignity as the source of national purpose, human liberty as the source of national action, the human heart as the source of national compassion, and in the human mind as the source of our invention and our ideas ~ ~ The chemist who can extract from his heart's elements compassion, respect, longing, patience, regret, surprise, and forgiveness and compound them into one can create that atom which is called love ~ ~ The treacherous, unexplored areas of the world are not in continents or the seas; they are in the hearts and minds of men. ~ ~ I argue very well. Ask any of my remaining friends. I can win an argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this, and steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect, they don't even invite me. ~ ~ With reasonable men, I will reason; with humane men I will plead; but to tyrants I will give no quarter, nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost ~ |
